Best Tables Poems

You may be sitting high and mighty now my friend 
but you will not always be 
for your unearned happiness will one day end 
should you live long enough, you'll definitely see. 
Your only interests in life is having fun 
you're the life of the...

He had better be dead I told friends,
Making them smile, from ends to ends.
They thought I was being hilarious
I was truly, frankly being serious

He did not help at all, I informed them haughtily.
I was on a roll now, telling them a little bit snottily.
"You had...

There is a sadness that can not be spoken of.
And there is a pain that goes on and on.
There are empty chairs at empty tables,
For my friends are dead and gone.

It was here they talked of a revolution,
It was here that they lit the flame.
It...

there are empty tables
many empty tables
in this country
and in this 
world

I sit
and I look at one of them
and wonder
if anyone else feels the way 
I do

when their child tells them
they are hungry
and you have 
no food to give 
them

and then your child cries
and then you...

Saw a sign in a fast food stall in our local mall
“Tables are for eating customers only” I was really appalled
Kinda barbaric I'd say
But tasty in a soufflé
Perhaps rephrasing would save one life however small...

If tables were turned
and I left you in the dust,
how would you feel then?...

I’ve danced on tables

My boots laced high

I have that kinda style

Cognac in one hand

Tambourine in another

I go on for miles

Songs of sorrow

Songs of love

Sweeping the night time air

Stars all aglitter 

A toast to you

Glasses raised high in the air

We sang and we danced

We laughed and...

The sky touches the ground.

If a pink elephant rides on a green wave then the tarantula will be under great pressure. Chains are a peril. Particularly when placed upon a coconut. Technical difficulties are often solved with the clear blue lines of a fountain pen. Or black. Any colour...

No eye could bear to meet the beggar’s gaze ;
A chasm lay between his world and theirs.
Vicarious, sham empathy might raise 
Some paltry coins or hollow, barren prayers.

Whilst mockery would be his daily bread 
Smug opulence passed by with callous stride,
Determined to leave every plea...

My wife and I were born only a few months apart,
I was older than her...so you know from whence I start.

When I was turning 50 she gave me some grief,
I didn't feel old, yet she teased me with this belief.

"I'll be living with an old...

A Kid roamed free on the streets last week,
Doing mean and illegal acts,
He apparently robbed a corner store,
But nobody knows the facts.
He never bothered to go to school,
For the past – what – seven years?
Instead he smoked illegal drugs,
And drunk too many beers.

He looked like...

following the “suicide”
of Aaron Swartz,
a delightful punch has been driven
into the gut of the empire,
whose eyes now
twitch & whose muscles now
flinch,
for the tables are turning,
when it comes to oppressing the
citizens of this world.

there was a time when 
those with guns & bombs
would win out every...

I posted in regards to our status,
but felt relaxed I'm on this cloud like i dabbed it.
Carried away for i am down to earth.
Fallen angels on my ankles
discombobulated birds. 
At first we kept together like compound words. 
Now we curse with out magic 
it attracts...
