Best Smarten Poems

Even if you don’t care I’ll tell you where I’ve been 
I took a break for a while, now I’m back ready to share my pen
Ready to take revenge on every and anyone who fake cared for him
I’m back now so it doesn’t matter about...

Where are we headed, is a silver lining in sight
At the current pace, we'll be over the precipice before night
It's already dusk
Smarten up we must
Before a certain lunatic precipitates an extinguishing of the lights...

People call it a winter wonderland

I call it a lack of green

Not that green's my favourite colour

But it beats keeping driveways clean

As soon as we think our shovelling is over

Another storm hits with a blast

The grass was showing only two days ago

My hopes once more...

My smart iPhone drowned, what a dread! 
No purpose to get out of bed. 
Can’t do without fidgets 
With smarty pants digits 
When my social life just dropped dead!

My buddy, from a dire grave fate, 
I hastened to resuscitate.
My beloved device 
I interred deep in...

When I look in the mirror each morning
This strange dude stands there sending me a warning
Smarten up there dude
Stop acting like a boob
Or a big lump on the head you'll be adorning

Now I am sleeping
The sleep of the dead
Laying in a coffin
Instead of a bed

My wife kept saying
I should have the test
I never listened
I thought I knew best

A finger in an anus
Just a simple poke
What I thought was funny
Was far from a joke

My cancer undetected
Consumed me...

The older I get, the more loud noises
Annoy me and cause irritation
Got sensitive ears since becoming a senior
Sometimes prefer isolation

Alone with my thoughts of a better world
And how to be good girls and boys
Instead of bickering and squabbling all day
About who's got the biggest toys

It...

It all started with a countdown from ten...
My own self-destruction shall begin
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
From trying to get hired
To trying NOT to get fired
Jesus! I can't control all this rage
Should I let the beast out of his cage?
As I struggle...

Ghosting

Online friends or family,
So selfish,they.
You could be dead and buried,
How would they know?

These are your best friends,
They loudly pronounce, 
They deceitfully say,
Who cannot check emails for 
180 days?

Their sidewalk fell in, the washing
machine broke,
Their 40 year old kids have a toothache,
Or in need of a bloke.
Totally, a...

SO NOW we get warm summer weather!!!
Can't all the weather gods get together
Probably have a crystal ball
Think it needs an overhaul
If they don't smarten up, gonna beat 'em with some leather...

Why with the
proliferation of nuclear arsenals
of a global scale
it seems as if
it's inevitable.
Someone eventually
has to drop
another nuclear bomb.
It appears that
it's only a
matter of time.
Why else would
there be so many
scattered around the earth?
Not to mention
all of the Wars
that continue on & on.
You would think
that human kind
would...

Bang! Bang! Thump! Thump!
Went the drums of life
down, down upon your head

Bang your dead! If you
Don’t smarten up
Huh! Huh! Sugar ain’t
What it used to be

Don’t you see, it’ll eventually
catch up and then we’ll see
What’s it gonna be?
Don’t tell me you tried

Cos that’s just no good
I’m...

You want me to dumb it down and write something simple
If I did that, I'd expect Shakespeare to come back from the dead and stab me with a pencil
This world is too sensitive you need to harden up
I won't dumb it down, You should Smarten...

Now why didn't I do this years ago
Lost a bunch and feel a hundred times better
Obsessed with eating? A resounding yes
Never followed any plan to the letter

Then one day fifteen months ago
The skies cleared and I saw a bright light
It signalled if you don't smarten...
