Best Stagnation Poems


Premium Member Stagnation
stagnation a trait
which many soon come to hate
for what it negates
refusing to look, see, hear
beyond beliefs most hold dear

hardening one's mind
to those seeming unrefined
yields socially blind
unaware people are blend
of diverse thoughts, forms and trends

becoming like rock
which requires an extreme shock
to look past own flock
know evolution's...

come now, wipe that stupid grin off our face 
thought patterns cause of stupor
let silence set us free

Stagnation
In a dream, I was on a mission.
A mission to rescue a nation.
A nation in a quagmire.
A quagmire not as usual.

A high mountain, I had to climb.
Climb it, in its nakedness.
Nakedness and grassless up to the crest.
Up to the crest, it was slippery.

Up I looked....

Sayonara, Year of Stagnation
Ever free to traverse my world
Yet shackled to an eleven year old promise
I donned a platinum cloak atop a living mountain
Physically high, emotionally low

I held two pairs of hands
While my heart beat out a painful rhythm
A handshake that formed my first friendship
And a typed message...

A Bullet In the Head of Stagnation(Still Tuning)
Who needs will?
Endorphine blitzers
Overdose blues and alcohol spritzers
Chemically engineered to enslave
Like the things we see
and who were taught to be
since birth weve been told to behave
Anarchy!Rebellion!Ego!Zeitgeist!...

Stagnation
You are walking but where are you going?
You are sleeping; do you realize that you are snoring?
You are standing still, why you will not move?
You claim to be smart; Why allow the enemy to use you as a fool?
You are singing, but what is the...

Stagnation
pessimistic
stagnation 
arose from 
within
moved onward
in a sluggish 
fashion
vibe was dull
at best
failure to 
advance 
together
failure to
progress as
a unit 
stopped 
ceased 
all encounters...

Stagnation
I like when things remain the same;
Stagnation is my favorite game.
I play so well I never lose;
What’s set in stone makes me enthuse.

While others might redecorate 
Or even move, I can’t relate.
New furniture does not entice;
My stuff is old, but still, it’s nice.

It isn’t normal,...

Perpetual Stagnation
decided on a
new direction
continue moving 
forwards need to
get out of rut 
must choose 
another path 
to take 
this path has 
gotten old and 
worn out no longer
can see the arrows 
pointing in the right 
direction 
came to fork in road
need to make a chose

Premium Member Exit Stagnation
Exit stagnation to be free
Else in bondage remain
Love is truth, all else contrary 
High time we bliss ingrain

Why languish here, fear fraught
Pause thought, ego begot
Reclaim light, we forgot

Vibrant cessation
Exit stagnation

Conformity
Conformity; a box; a structure- the structure
A definition; a mandate; an unwritten set of rules; guidelines
A single path woven by society 
An invisible path only discovered when one strays
The oppression; the judgement; the criticism of simply being
DIFFERENT
‘If you’re looking for a change, don’t,’ 
They say,...

Life Is What It Is
You say Life is rough
O tell me what makes it tough;
If not of your idiosyncrasy
Life is a rock of intricacy
Room of animation and stagnation
Those must be tasted as abnegation
Yes, even the opulent must travel through

So live it madly or sweetly
And sing it silently or loudly.
Life...

Premium Member No Anchor For Rancour - Comp
The rocks on the sea bed
Can be friendly in storms
When our sails are bedraggled
Or all tattered and torn

From our voyage on seas
Often left unexplored
But there's truth in the water
That cannot be ignored

In the wind is the Spirit
An adventurer's friend
So we move in directions
To where searching...

Trumptation
In a state of abhorrent stagnation
rests the mighty American nation.
Soon it will have to choose.
Will it win?  Will they lose?
Lead it not into further "trumptation."...
