Best The Disease Poems


Premium Member The disease called shy
You have my voice that sings
My eye’s that love to see
My heart beating when it believes
My hand writing poetry of what should be
My steps walking boldly thinking of thee

My minds consumption of 
vast amounts of time 
My work that tries providing
Any attention that I can find

A victim of love
Happily and sadly am I 
I am...

The Disease of Addiction
Through my life I have suffered from the disease of addiction
It has no favorites, it holds no bounds
It pretends to be your best friend, only to stab you in 
the back
Life with this disease is full of misery
Misery only you can find your way out of
Once you take control of the disease of addiction
You can...

The Disease of Humanity, Reprise
Simple to fall apart,
the dry broken skin.

The sunken eyes will tell you lies,
you can't hide that kind of fire,
once its blazing, its blazing.

Madness, sadness,
manic panic,
pressure, pulsing, pounding, pain,
you can only pray for rain.
If your lucky you'll go numb,
before your face turns to dust.
Hope your legs move,
when your head decides to run.

Disease received,
in the air that...

Premium Member The Disease
It has always amazed me
And something I could never understand
How much hate and evil
Can hide in the heart of man.

Living a nightmare
Beyond our wildest dreams
Living in times like the world has never seen
The government's foolishly opened the door
And now it's hard to trust anyone anymore.

We cannot spend our lives in fear
But stand strong united and...

The Disease of Power
This sickness,
is just a mental disturbance.
One gender takes control,
the other must follow.
For years sexism is the prevention,
of human decency and equality.


Fighting for human rights,
fighting for women's rights,
fighting for all rights,
its so sad.
Fighting for rights that we should already have,
fighting for rights that we were giving to the day we were born,
fighting for rights just to...

The Disease of Humanity
Manic panic,
the brain bleeds,
the maddening sadness,
the mouth that feeds,
it's the disease of humanity.

When the sunlight burns your eyes,
at least you  know your alive.

We have faith,
and we believe,
in the smoke,
that we breathe,
the truth that lies,
down in between,
and the blessing,
that we receive,
it is the disease,
the disease of humanity....

The Disease Called Gossip
Sometimes gossip may start out true 
But each time it's passed along it gets skewed
The more lips it passes the more it's changed 
The facts and story get rearranged 

The whispers may come from an enemy or "friend"
Either way it's the truth they bend
Spreading the lies and gossip they've heard
Never thinking about who is being...

Love Thieves (Shake the Disease)
i won't hang around
for the furrows around your lips to point to the floor
i've had enough for tonight
so here you are
my final insult
i hope it tears as it kills

i'm taking my will along with me
i won't leave it behind
for you to poke and pry with your saudering iron
like you did with my dignity
the same time...

The Disease
Crawling up my veins, I can feel it
The thought in my head, can I beat it? 

It has been a while now, it has become my only company 
Since I discovered it, I have been living in misery 

At first it was fine, I thought I was safe 
Until they tested me in metal things...

The Disease of the World
Complications in this world are everywhere
problems and pain are like a disease infecting everybody
some people get hit harder with the disease and fall
some die from the sickness, others survive and get back up.
They fight and tell others how to fight the sickness. 
This world can devastate even the strongest of people
making them feel like the...

There Are Some Remedies Worse Than the Disease
They say the cure for loneliness
Is just to find a friend
But what if that friend
Was a dead end?
The times enjoyed
Throughout the years
Come to a halt
As the time slows
The ticking comes to a close
Then it slowly comes back
The thoughts of it all
Just like a sloth, they crawl
Haunting.
Panic.
The rush.
Faster.
Go.
Run to his aid.
Reach out and feel
the beating heart
the...

The Disease of Love
What if love was contagious
Like some sort of disease
Affecting all religions and races
Bringing the world to its knees

Where a cure is never found
Where no one even tries
A disease that for years sticks around
Contaminating all of mankind

From a kind word being said
To a hug when it's needed the most
In hopes it quickly spreads
With everyone being the...

The Disease
No one has to be hungry; everybody 
can have a job. No one has to be a doormat 
or feel like a doorknob. The world is complete 
with everything a human being would need. 
No need to beg big, borrow or even plead. 

There's enough food and water, land and 
space too. And there are...

The Disease of Society
We always move forward into our past,
Whether it be paradoxical or oxymoronic ;
Our future is only our past.......

The disease of the withered soul
It's three in the morning - the grave silence breaks my soul,
the glass on the coffee table is empty,
obliviously I water my soul, it will bloom too.

Some birds are chirping in my chest - they sound like cuckoos.
Old stories bequeath the saying that when they cry,
they shed tears that heal all diseases....
