Best Undermines Poems
Poet Trapped Inside the BeastI have the heart of a poet
Trapped deep within
The soul of the beast
Everyday I get up
And put on my dark
Bureaucratically correct uniform
I turn off my soul
Put on my phony smile
And my plastic ideas
And go forth
To do battle
With all the other soulless automats
The...

For Sometimes Love Is Not EnoughHey sugar I’m defriending you
The time has come to say adeiu
A long time pal who undermines
the plans I make to change my life.
Sweetly in my life each day
your crystal heart has caused decay.
Lurking unexpectedly
Any chance to ambush me
You’re hidden there in every bite,
Satisfying,...

All in a flap
A step too far, brings right of passage to a ledge
Fluttering at cliff walls, pushing life’s brittle edge
A sheer instinctive thrust, with no trust to pledge
Now or never moment, undermines fear’s wedge
A chick leaps off, flailing frail wings fail to fledge
Featherweight of hope meets a...

Dont Be a Trust DispenserThinks he's on some cool ish
But really on some bull ish
The type of dude that
You want nothing to do with
This is the type of dude
That will promise you everything
Wont deliver anything
& use excuses endlessly
He'll be acting like a boss
As he undermines...

You could run an eternity through shadowsYou could run an eternity through shadows,
Run an era in dim labyrinths,
Time might hide you in its palm.
But sooner or later, you will meet the Judge,
Sooner or later, the Divine will find you in descent.

Vowel - ConsonantArising to exuberant sunshine, I put on my ugly warm-ups amended for
exercise. Today I plan on moving until dusk, adapting my essence to ideal

myself over total upset, achieving the expectations I...

Nothing Left To GiveWhen dictators purchase our guns,
we wade through blood to deliver.
And take their cash without remorse
while riddled bodies still quiver.
Big egos and pampered palates
impose subsistence starvation.
And enforced illiteracy
results in mental stagnation.
Children suckle on bitter tears,
scratching a living from the earth.
And there is no escaping pain,
hunger's a...

Give Peace a Chance Part 1Like the twelfth
juror in the play
I must say I am not
convinced
For I know a recipe
for trouble
I have seen the
double standards
And I do not approve
this for Kenya
I will never approve
it, and neither
Would you, dear
friend of Kenya
If you saw what I
most clearly see,
For you, too,...

GangstalkingWayne White can't take it no more;
his life is an ordeal and he wells knows
that he's got spies around him galore.
So, no matter what, wherever he goes
stalkers are there, night and day.
They don't leave him alone at all.
They won't get out of the way;
At the...

BountyPlease precious play,
Reap radiant rays;
Etch each embrace,
Charm cheery chase;
Impact inking,
Odd ordering;
Urge unfurls us,
See sights sensuous;
Beauty boasts blooms,
Odd odours oomph;
Urge undermines,
Nudge number nine;
Tales trouble tells,
Yonder yields yell.

The Bill of Papers Please: a Crazy Lawthe State of Arizona has signed a very crazy law

Solution Or Problem"Solution OR Problem"
Part of the problem or of the solution
Depends upon one's contribution.
There's only two sides, no middle ground,
No place in between can there be found.
To be part of the solution, one must be
Doing SOMEthing for and productively
To resolve, correct, counteract,
In SOME way doing a...
