Best Themself Poems


Men

Silly thoughts are a 
mans best friend
How they embarrass 
themself without end
Falling all over 
themself you see
Leave us all laughing 
with glee
Foolish at times how 
they speak
Clamoring for some 
attention they seek
Leave us to just shake
 our heads
When to women the 
same line is fed


This was written for Aaliya and 
her first year of high school! How 
the boys want to try to talk to her 
and say the same things to other girls!;)

The Clown the Fool and Me

Many nights I've sat typing things for which none will ever read.
Burning midnight oil only to add to this mornings trash.
Then going about the act of pretending it's all good.

Wearing a mask of my own creation.
These long nights of endless confession to empty wall's.
Hollow thoughts from a bitter heart to scared to exist as himself.

The page lay beaten only to be erased.

the circus of life is a deception for after the show when the dust settles 
the magic gives way to truth.
Tempers flare  and thoose happy clowns appear to be just angry ordinary
people who hate and loath there so called friends.

Dream that it would have all been diffrent if not for this or that.
never taking blame just putting it on others like normal so called adults.

These long nights breed anger and that page takes  the punishment
and like a coward I look apon this act of pure thoughtless work.
And second guess myself wishing only for the approval of people who yearn only 
for the approval  of some one else.
Like hamster in a wheel never getting anywhere.

For who wants to be themself when you can be a watered down version of someone who 
wasnt good to start with.

I cant say the comforts of being a clone wouldnt be nice .
But I never did like things that were nice.
Never cared about being on a list  or kissing someone's rearend just 
to have them talk about me as soon as my back was turned.

Be yourself and cherish thoose who hate  for  the bitter and cruel amount to
nothing  and there only hope is to lure you down there same dead end life.

The clown tries in vain to make you laugh.
The fool doenst know or care if you laugh.
And me Im just the jerk adding to the mornings trash empty 
as the page that sit's befor him.

Nobody

Nobody….
  
       Nobody will see
       what good you do,
       but everybody will observe
      where you go wrong

                                                Nobody will see
                                               what efforts you make
                                               but everybody will observe
                                              where you get the success from

       people around you
       will be jealous with your sincerity
       They will have hundreds of questions 
       and always demand to prove your ability.

                                             Mistakes will be captured 
                                             more  than the efforts which are sincere 
                                            wrong things will be highlighted more 
                                            than the right things done ever.

       People around you 
       Will be eager to pull you down
      They'll prove themself to be more better 
        And more capable to wear the winning crown
    
                                                 Very few people will notice
                                                 where you bring the correct things from
                                                 but everybody will observe
                                                 where you go wrong.

Effervescent Glow

The moon's effervescent 
glow hangs low as if saddened 
while the heavens shower me
with tears of its once 
bright celestial being
soaking me in the hurt and
sadness,
feeling the moons pull 
upon me I ask
"How can you cry and still 
shine with such beauty ?"
clouds part and all the 
celestial beings seem to smile 
down upon me
Warming my heart telling me
"No one is above pain and one 
should  not  stay in a state of 
distress! For no matter
how great your pain, happiness 
is something one must find 
within themself..
We can not allow our emotion 
to define us by not seeing it 
as a healing process 
realizing with good comes bad 
Learning from it but never letting it 
take our effervescent glow....

The Beauty of Holiness

The most beautiful thing
in this world to me,
is to see someone living holy

The way they talk,
the way they walk
I love how they comport themself
Their meekness,
their gentle way
Their firm resolve
to not get swayed
by temptations that are so commonplace

It's the beauty of holiness
on full display
Come, wrap your arms around it,
it could be yours today

The most beautiful thing
in this world to me,
is to see myself living holy

Meditating and praying
Giving comfort and staying
to help the poor and sick of heart

Charity and forgiving
Embracing love as the purest way of living
That's the message of holiness

The most beautiful dream
in this world to me,
is seeing everyone living holy

Cell Phones

People who talk to
themself were called crazy once.
Now, they are just rude.

Words of the Writer

Wondering how can I become 
so infatuated
With someone's words leaving 
me intoxicated
Happy their words, and my path 
had finally crossed
Words read with poetic passion 
that I could get lost

Allowing those words to caress 
me like a sin
As I let them seduce me while 
they pull me in
Then I'm inside each of those
song like verses
With all the words very reality, 
being so diverse

They hold so much meaning 
being so heartfelt
See they open in me rapture I've 
never before felt
I feel in those words the love he 
longing tries to convey 
While leaving me speechless,I 
mean what can i say

And when I'm released from 
their strong pull
I wonder did the words hold me 
mind, body, and soul
I wonder this as I grasp the book 
of words tighter 
Was it the words themself or 
was it the "Writer"

Suicide

*Suicide* 

Suicide is not the answer,
But there's no option..
People fight for there stand,
People fight within themself..
Nothing been on there side,
None is there to support them..

Suicide is not the answer,
But there's no option..
Life is just a race,
Love, care, respect are left behind..
Blaming insulting are trending,
As money can buy love, respect, care..

Suicide is not the answer,
But there's no option..
People say how coward he is,
when he was alive none supported..
He fought hard,
He fought with himself..

Suicide is not the answer,
But there's no option..
broken heart been heard louder,
Now money speak louder..
It's a fight within himself,
he is a fighter..
Not a loser,who fought till his last breath..

My Mother

she was an angry woman
not much love, 
she wouldnt put up with a man
abusing her, 
the mistake women made then,
prostitution for security,
selling your heart for money,
she regretted having me,
lost freedom,
tied down,
single mom, poor,
abused by the culture,
her love was shown
in that she didnt abandon us,
even though she was tempted,
her mother wasnt that strong,
my heart didnt value that,
i wanted to be wanted, loved.

I saw the other children, 
wanted, loved, rich,
my blinders on, 
rose coloured glasses,
envy, despair, no self esteem, 
worthlessness, less than human,

not expensive enough clothes,
not nice enough car,
"drop me off a block from school"
"I am not shopping at wal-mart"

something i didnt notice then
i have always been blessed with beauty
i never even saw the girls that adored me
too afraid, to poor, to stupid, 

If my mother didnt love me, how could another?
greedy, selfish women, angry, 
years of oppression, and taking it out on me,
the male, the enemy, "no love from mommy".

Now i pay the price for my fathers oppression.
the gay guys arent as wierd as i thought,
at least they are getting laid. 

The women i meet now, 
if i love them
i am not good enough for them
if i use them or tell them how pathetic they are,
they love me, addicted, cant leave. 

On occassion i love a weaker girl,
i see their potential,
usually sexually abused as a child,
they will leave, hate me, 
for my honesty, 
too afraid of love, of closeness,
get pregnant and leave or kill themself,
one or the other, such drama,
If a child wont end their suffering 
then death will. 

What did i do to deserve this?

Little Johnathan

My name is little Jonathan, I am old 4 years old 

My daddy never loved me; my mummy’s hugs are cold 

My sister is always screaming, she sometimes don’t come home 

When mummy and daddy both go out, I’m left here on my own 

My name is little Jonathan, I’m 7 years old today

My skin has purple blotches, that won’t go away

Daddy is always angry; he comes home late at night

I hear mummy and daddy rowing, that then turns to a fight 

My name is little Jonathan and now I’m almost eight

My body is so scrawny, because I haven’t ate

The kids at school make fun of me, because of my dirty clothes 

I’m use to taking the punches now; I’m use to blocking the blows

My name is little Jonathan, and soon I will be nine

A lady came to my school one day and said it will be fine

I do not live with mummy now, I live with someone new

I have some really lovely clothes, my body’s better too

I’m told what mummy and daddy done, was wrong, Thiers no excuse

A child cannot defend themselves, defend themself from child abuse

Premium Member The Shepherds Call

A Shepherd tends to his sheep
watching over them to protect
His desire is to keep them all close
To see them all gather 
from the call of His voice
He shall provide and lead them to water
so they shall not thirst
He shall lead them to green pastures
for their hunger is satisfied
The Shepherd is love and comfort
but yet so few will return the love
and seek for his guidance and knowledge
for they do not understand how all have gone astray
For they might see a few green plants
begin to bloom and wander off from the Herd
in search of trying to eat on their own
maybe a mud puddle in view as they run
to drink it before the others take notice
These sheep grow more confident in providing for themself
and wander further as each day passes
seeking from their own wisdom
while pushing down a corrupt path
causing confusion to escape their winding maze
The Shepherd continues to call
for the ones which have got lost
He longs to see them come out from the wild
His mercy and love  forgives them of where they have been
while making a new creation
so they shall love and teach of their escape
Many sheep shall hear His voice and know this is Him
listening carefully  to be lead back Home
To be thankful He never quit calling
and the desire to feel the Love and Comfort once felt 
To rejoice in living in His Herd

The Ranch Rat Race

When that alarm clock goes off 'fore dawn's crack
And you pull your achin' bones from the sack--
Then you start havin' you some real doubt,
If this way of livin's what life's about.

So you eat cold bread and drink lukewarm joe--
Look out the window at three feet of snow.
Then the wife says to tend to the new calf,
As you pull on holey boots and just laugh.

Horses need tendin'; cows don't milk themself--
I need a good clone or some magic elf.
The wife says somethin's suckin' eggs agin
And there's a skunk what means to be our friend.

Then next day comes too soon and it's the same--
Your bare feet hits cold floor and leaves you lame!
There's bills to pay and more chores yet to do;
It just seems like the work is never through.

Though this race ain't for rats, it does seem hard;
But workin' the city ain't for me, pard.
And though the wages is near starvation--
Ain't no better job in all the nation!

So if you can stand all my complainin';
You've got to figure I is explainin'
'Bout how I really love this long hard lot,
'Cause I 'preciate all the good we got.

So if crankiness you sometimes do find,
Just smile and then pay me no never mind.
For you see this ain't really no rat race--
It's just how God keeps cowboys in their place.

Technology

Don't be telling me we need technology,
I understand it easy but it's not for me.
I own a PS3 and Grand Theft Auto,
one game disc that rotates with audio.
I don't buy MP3 I still purchase CD,
I like to look at the plastic collection on the shelve,
others take selfies, a plastification of themself.
I don't care for Facebook, use it as a poetry book,
I haven't signed up to Twitter 
'cus I havent the time for celebrity litter,
to busy writing bits of rhymes into poems
to then show 'em as a Facebook status.
This electronic age is overrated and separates us,
like all are Spartacus apart  
and using electrical sparks to much.
I spark a hunch and clump hunches together with pen,
I do it again and again, 
using ink when I think so I link lines and mix sounds fine,
Iphone and Android cameras encourage steroid usage
and they clone how they prefer to think they look at this age,
but all have baggage, get old and all have saggage,
technology brings out the shallow and that's savage,
I photoshop with a biro and redo the negatives, 
while their perspective is negative unless looks are perfected.
120,000 views on my poems,
no idea of how I look to them.
Don't tell me we need technology,
I understand it easy, I just prefer poetry

Art of Saying a Lot Yet Saying Nothing At All

An abundance of mimicked truth yet oozing falsehood 
Leaving a dubious ironic emotional attitude 
Simulating a true person’s being hypocritical 
Showed as a soul-less insanely monstrous criminal 

Recognizing ambiguity painted in your unique brilliant colors 
No matter how you curve it, your words still weigh like anchors 
Cunning are your sneaky attempts at a vagueness 
The are of your game is far from being stated as genius 

The illusion of your meaning is not being judged 
It’s the meaning of that illusion I won’t begrudge 
Twisting your morbid stories into enigmatic fables 
Trying to paint yourself as the innocent of all angels 

Conforming naive minds into perceiving what isn’t right 
Leaving one to believe it’s themself that they fight 
Perplexed a complex thought allowing deceit 
Fueling the tellers ever hunger of feeding their conceit 

Yet I do not pass judgement, you bring about that result 
The perceived illusion you brought it’s your fault
Allowing the multi talent of twisting words to your end 
The vagueness in saying a lot by saying nothing, letting no one in
