Best So Called Poems


My So-Called Life

I smiled, then cried.
You laughed. You lied.
You left. I tried
To pick up the pieces of my life.
It shouldn't have been such a surprise.
I should have seen this one before I 
Fell too hard, got in too deep,
Before I believed that you were in love with me.
I smiled, then cried,
Because you laughed and lied.
You left while I tried
To get back to my so-called life.

So Called New Friends Hangers On and What Happens Afterwards

Sorry ,
My friend and confident of days old

Do not fret
Regret is wasted until the cost is met

I still hold you in high regard 
I still remember you covered in your mothers make-up 
And sitting on the naughty step

Until 
Fame and success took hold of you

Before

Everybody grew through you
Not beside or along with you

You lifted while those around you stole 

1 piece at a time a part of your soul 
Hanging on to your coattails tooth and nail
Riding the gravy train for all it's worth


What on earth happened to you my friend 

Fame and success has been unkind to you

And this is written not in pursuit of envy or jealousy 
Rather than to remind you 1 day

When all is said and done 

Down in the dumps out of luck
And your so called friends have abandoned you
You will realize I never gave up or left you
Cast aspersions or judged you

All I ever wanted was my best friend back
And to go back to having Sleep Over's 
When we used to tell and share everything 

I didn't loose a friend 

I lost my sister

My So Called Dad

Tell me why do i hurt you so

So Called Dangerous Minds

They gives a us a voice, but don't want us to speak.
The president's black I bet he doesn't write his own speech.
Words that he speaks come the people that keep in unequal,
D.C. is evil the future is bleak.

Unless among us is a Malcolm X 
All for one and together we're stronger than the rest.
My mother strong ,God is our Father 
Jesus Piece lays on my chest.

Moment of truth what's left to be said,
word is bond
nothing is worth more than respect.
Which needs to be earned 
shots fired so I'm hitting the deck.

Deep in the street cracks is where secrets are kept,
Nikes on the feet of the ones who keep running for checks.
Turnt cheek to the causalities take a deep....
Breath after breath, war between us, love lost in between deaths.

Premium Member Limerick Crochetes: Once a Shy Lost Lass So-Called Orga-San

Limericak crochetés:  Once a shy lost lass so-called Orga-San

Once a shy lost lass so-called Orga-San
Had much difficulty getting what you can
	Heard of fly-catcher
	Good at swatting lair
Gave him a lift bare-back over Japan

Trouble he wouldn’t get off Mama-San
She went without doing what on bed-pan
	Right over Fuji Yama
	Leap-frogged like No-diva
Earth sudden shook Tsunami filled her pan.

Our So Called Government

Doesn't make much sense, does it ???
Homeless go without eating and shelters.
Elderly go without needed medicines.
Mentally ill go without treatment.
Troops go to defend without proper equipment.
Veterans who gave our freedom go without
Benefits that were promised to them.
Yet our government donate billions to
Other countries, and excessive immigration
Before helping our own first.


So Called Judgement

so called judgement, 
majority people focus on 
what offend them the most and 
they don't think about the pains of God
when He sees  them
 going against  Him. 
Many  preachers said," racism is bad,  
God hate it." 
Some people  were  offended about the speeches  
of some preachers ; they forgot the feelings of the Lord. 
Some preachers were  demonised for speaking the truth. 
 Yoh! Devil has captured many people, 
Yes! Who can deny that? 

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immortality,  impurity  and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft; hatred , discord , jealousy, fits of rage , selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness , orgies, and the like. I warn you , as I did before,  that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 
Galatians 5: 19-22 

Who loves you the most between a person
who is encouraging you to endure in doing wrong things and the one who is assisting you to quit them
so you may enter the KINGDOM OF GOD? 
Answer is clear: the preacher who abets
you to quit wrong deeds loves you so much. 
You may love him " her" and 
continue focusing on God's Word. 

Remember that aiding someone to quit 
wrong deeds it is not called " JUDGEMENT."

Premium Member Life In the So Called Free World

Life in the so called free world

So we live in the free world...really?
Are you free to go out at night,   go where ever you like...or
are you afraid, living in fear, hiding behind triple locked doors with
bars on the windows, like a prisoner doing time until daylight comes?

Who rules the night? is it not the delinquents, and gang members and
gun toting criminals, that have the freedom to kill, and do as they please.
Land of the free? You decide!

What about freedom from lies? that are spread like manure on the ground,
and we eat of it's poisonous fruit everyday and it becomes a part of us
and the cycle repeats. What about freedom  from hate and prejudice? 
Or is it alive and kicking still your neighborhoods?

Hate and racism run wild  like the wolf and the lion 
seeking to devour their next innocent young victim, 
who waits wide eyed like a deer in the headlights  waiting 
for death to come without even knowing what hit them.

What about freedom from fear?  When it is preached in the pulpits
that God is vengeful and tortures for an eternity in a hellfire.
Does that make sense to you,  that a God of love tortures
and torments, when we are made in his image and torture 
to us is repugnant?

Life in the free world is really free?  You decide.

So-Called Poem

Have I lost it?
The writing thing?
Have I been absent for so long that my thoughts are unable to come to a 
complete stop and decide to focus...on ...one...thing?
I shudder profusely and then shake....
shudder...shake...doesn't that mean the same thing?
God....this feeling of complete talentlessness is absolutely....bad?
(SIGH!!!!!)
For the sake of being poetic I come up with...bad...seriously!!!
My fingers move at a snail's pace to keep up with the dismay that wants spill its 
inerts on this screen in front of me and it will take the hand of God to prevent me 
from actually not deciding to hit the delete button and feel justified in my 
pitifulness!!!
(SIGH!!!)
Ok...I'll leave it alone
be the cheerleader of this...piece...yea.

So-Called Aid

Whenever a country in poverty 
but rich in natural resources
is in dire strait 
whatever is done by wealthy countries 
is only for it to take the bait

Betrayed By a So-Called Friend

(I actually wrote this poem a year ago, but because of some recent events, it still applies)

I thought we were cool.
I thought we were friends.
But those words you said,
Stabbed me in the back of my head.

I didnt see it coming.
I couldnt believe my eyes.
What you did, really took me by surprise.

I thought you understood me.
You defended me from that jerk.
But all along, you were just like them.
Waiting for your chance to inflict hurt.

You will never realize, how hurtful your words were to me.
You will never understand, how confused you made me
You were one of few friends i had to my name.

But maybe i was too expectant, to believe, that you were not the same.

In the end.
I lost a friend.
I must have never meant much to you.
For you to say what you said.
You talked down to me.
As if i was a dog.
You treated me like i was stupid
And had no mind of my own.

I will never understand your hostility.
Friendless, i truly am.
Trusting, i no longer should be.

Anger and resentment reside in me.
but it wont consume me.
I will eventually move on.
You will be nothing but a faint memory.
Forgotten you soon shall be.

I dont need friends.
To make me happy.

So Called Love

So called 'love',
Is not always sweet;
Sometimes sour, 
Sometimes bitter;
Yet cohere together 
In all sad and joy;
Thoughts may vary,
As the individuality of one;
Fight may betide,
Without perennial pain;
Hearts and souls together
Tie up in unravelling knot;
Longing rises from within,
For oral and physical feel;
Tongues don't move,
But eyes speak gesturing
Reveal yearn in mind;
Sharing emotional pain solaces;
Feel relieved,
In company of partner;
Live with someone,
Live for someone, 
In all pain and soothe, 
In all sad and joy; 
Sharing together is force,
That endures storm and tide,
Of life is 'love';

So-Called Teacher

I'm sorry I came here.
I'm sorry I let you trick me.
You have them all convinced they need you.
I do not.
I'm sorry that it seems no one cares
Whether this world is alive or dead.
May I believe in something?
May I please
Have a greater reason to live?
I wake in hopeful rebirth
I want this to work, you know that.
Our cycle:
I walk in with tranquility or determination,
My heart beats fast or slow,
I am silent or resounding.
It's not enough.
Did you plan it this way?
I see robots and I know their every move.
What do they have
That chains them to monotony?
Were they not here the day before?
Why should you live?
Don't you dare degrade my passion.
I am here to learn and live.
If you are not, 
So be it.
Had I a crueler bone, I would end your life.
Would you stop me?
Don't you say I am a blaming fool,
For I'm the one that's sorry.
I'm so sorry that I play this way.
I need it:
Love and passion.
Don't role your eyes at me.
What do you worship?
Money and half truths?
Just getting by, are you?
It hurts me.
Enthusiasm fermenting to frustration,
Mad sad, sad isolation.
Give me something more than words.
My joyfulness,
I could adore you.
I'm sorry that is wrong.

A So-Called Man

He rides his horse above the rest; a king in his own mind
He likes to think his wit is best, and thinks the maiden blind
But deep inside this so-called man a coward lurks within
For this poor man is just a fool, a Jester with a grin

He plays his games and thinks he’s won, but surely he has flopped
For this poor child is barely grown, and thus his crown has dropped
Below his feet it lays to rest, his crown starts to decay
For all his power was made up, his façade at play

He tried to trick the world outside that surly he was right
For his deception worked before on some with clouded sight
Although the maiden, strong and wise, has come to see right through
She saw the fool, high on his horse, and knew what she should do

And so with words like arrows did she pierce inside his chest
And now he lays below the ground a fitting place at best
With all the others commoners and fools without a cause 
How fitting is his new found home, for the king he thought he was

Premium Member This So-Called Global Warming

The so-called experts have been saying lately
There's a slow down in global warming
It's true, it hasn't been very tropical lately
Global warming is under performing

Do you think it's possible it just could be
A normal fluctuation in the world's temps
But who am I to offer this assessment
Why they're fluctuating to this extent

Could it possibly be the experts have it wrong
Oh forgive me for suggesting such a thing
After years and years in “forecasting” school
With diplomas under their wing

Weather forecasting is a lot of guesswork
Next to impossible to predict the future
There's so many variables to affect the outcome
Even with all those fancy computers
