Best These Things Happen Poems

A man put dynamite in a can
Just because that's where he stuck it
Dan came along and kicked the can
And also, he kicked the bucket!

Stopped by Walmarts manager, I asked
"So what dress code, do, you impose?"
He said, "We don't care what you wear,"
"But you do have...

Security. Health. Dignity. Life.
Nothing remains, only strife.
Lost, robbed, taken with force;
Cruel, wanton, with no remorse;
Reason, logic, sense cannot dispel;
Offering only, a glimpse of Hell.

No true God, can allow such evil to exist,
Spewing injustice, with an unrelenting fist.
We must be on our own, without a god,
We...

Sometimes silly things happen,
like that, now, old night,
when we named a star,
just to enjoy the following of the cliche,
the sibling from the one that brought us apart.

Hearts filled with the whole innocence from,
You being the one,
and I being the best one.
What contained bits of the...

My mama always told me
I should follow a Holy path
For if I ever veered off course
I’d face God’s mighty wrath

God works in mysterious ways
I know this to be true
If you read my words below
I know you’ll believe it too

One day when I was six
To my...

Never lose hope because of what they say
Never be afraid of what intent they may lay
You have to be a man enough to wear the crown
So no matter how hard seems the battle, move on
To be a victor, it takes not merely the swiftest 
You...

I pinned the bobby pins in my hair
turning to inspect the effect
and suddenly my grandmother was standing there
behind me in the mirror
she wore her old timey apron (bib) 
held her big stew spoon
and a slight frown, 
like she wanted to direct me but couldn't find...

Things Happen

What we should realize is start reassuring
Which will relieve so much of the suffering
Of all the weak who will moan and groan
And then be left alone in a buffer zone.

This will be best place to absorb the shock
And always is present around the clock
Hunger...

I used to believe that love was something that you always got for your boyfriend. 
So I used to tell each one of them that I loved them. But the last guy I told it to was 
different. I felt for him a way that...

Something absurdly amazing,
About the way things happen:
We plan for, and await events
But they arrive and we ask,
‘Was it worth the effort?’
Some other times, we wonder 
how the unforeseen occur

When things happen,
They may appear, 
forever to last
Or, we pray them to:
But perhaps it is true
That nothing...

When good things happen to bad people.
I wanna hit them the head.
When good things happen to bad people.
I'd rather be them instead.
I'd rather be them when things get sad.
Cuz I am good and they are bad.
I'd rather be them if I could.
Cuz I'd rather be...

Wow! As we would colloquially put it,
You are really one man of grit!
You seem to be the only guy
Who’s got no time even to cry.

Just imagine, in a day
Everyone wants to know your say.
You’ve got to speak, you’ve got to write –
Are you the only...

I want to lie to you tell you that

I had been asleep the whole time
things happen to women like us and they think
talking about them scares the memories away
my fingertips are still burning they are toxic enough to destroy butterfly wings
things happen to women like...

diffracted rays tint
the sun's birthing and forecast

On the frozen lake the ass had gone asleep
While slumbering he did not know
his heat devolved the ice below
In despair the ass abound
underwater and quickly drowned....

Everything happens for a reason,
Thats what they all say,
So if I shut my mouth,
Everything falls apart anyways,

I'm accident prone,
Dont say or do things right,
People seem to hate me,
And things end up in a fight,

I'm the bad one,
For speaking my mind,
Try to do whats right,
But you...
