Best Shut Down Poems

I shut down and die each night.
I do not want to entertain anyone.
I do not want to hear my name.
I do not want to fix supper.

I shut down and die each night.
Spending my evening in my zippered zebra pajamas
And fluffy socks that do not have...

On asphalt, wet with blood and sweat (down streets with no address), 
there lay a man, snuffed by the Man and left to evanesce.
The Man then strode along the road and smiled at his success
and, cavalier, he bought a beer, sat down to decompress.

A life...

He looks so forlorn
Always reading, always, now
Rarely looking up

In his night reaching
He skims over my surface
Touching what he wants

Protecting my heart
I curl up, hiding again
He begs to come in

I want the feelings
They are no where to be found
Tucked into corners...

Will the Government Shut Down?

By Elton Camp

In March, the federal government may shut down?
Such a thing certainly has an extremely scary sound
So does that mean that chaos will reign in the street?
That the nation’s enemies nobody is around to defeat?

But from past government shutdowns it...

Well ... okay,
computered enough for today.
Too long in the Captcha box
so its best to Shut Down,
Log Off,
exit right,
don't get left ...
behind.

Shut down.
Well, its nicer than Shut Up.

Still, the finality
has a tomb-like quality
and there just might be
other choices, like
"Ta, ta."
"See you later, sweetie."
or how about,
"You all...

Government (show) Shut Down December 2018

Messianic Don found tarnished appeal
trumpeted bluster thwarted
with muted (hip hip hooray) Democratic zeal
played (on microscale) like quashed
ill fated braggadocio big deal

bombast, sans General George Armstrong
Custer's last stand,
viz Little Bighorn, achilles heel,
where Native Americans 
showed deadly steel

against cocksure doodling
haughtiness didst conceal
Yankee...

Am I still a Princess if I don't feel like one?
Confidence for blood
Which now has run dry, nearly gone

Can't tell which I dislike more,
Myself or these mirrors
Is there really an answer I am searching for?

So Princess Xia needs to shut down
Just for awhile
And take off...

She always longs to run
even when baffled by the
destination.

In this jumbled playpen,
each moment of elation
surrenders reciprocal torment,
since the blight of Cain
taunts with violence
to cripple all phantoms
of devotion.

The system has encountered
a critical error in the flutter
of energies bitterly wrangled
until each particle seethes
to reboot, to cleanse
human manipulation
from...

If only love happened round the world
That would be a pretty slow news day
Actually CNN would have to shut down
No “JUST IN” bulletins, per se

Weather reports predict nothing but sunshine
Temperatures high in the 80s
People goin' round wearing dirty big grins
Things all coming up daisies

Wake up,...

Creating the fumes of anger
vicious claws gripping inside me.
Desperation to conquer,
battling to control me.
It wants out to influence 
the world that's around me. 
And I won't let it... will I let it?
A screaming soul caused by the slashing,
only to be muffled by my concealing.
I shut...

I'm shutting **** down
control alt delete
So many soldiers in my city
I patrol all the streets
Leave these *****es hung up 
Like when a phone calls complete 
If I ain't messing wit u 
It's cause your so small, petite 
Like a cold broads physique 
that'll go & jog but don't eat
I melt these...

Please don't shut down on me.
I need you to open up and tell me the problem
Then I can help you.
I know it's hard to open up.
But try.
It will help.
Afterwards you will feel better.
Life will be clearer.
But if you keep of shutting down, you will be...

Frightened of spirit, 
she shut all her senses off
Which messed up her gut....

Everything went black on a cold winter's day
                  Not a helping hand in sight
              ...

Do not shut down forever
But make their wait's worth
