Best Unwinnable Poems

Our lives are not immune to the impact of time,
nor is our mind between the tensions of love and hate.
That's why I curse this wanderlust heart -
still searching for that wandering star.
without a guide - without a love to call my own.

I try not to...

We gave Johnny a gun and a uniform
Trained him to kill, in a regiment conform
Sent him deep into Vietnam jungles warm
With little regard to how we did him harm
 
     So certain we knew what we joined to fight for

My soul and spirit was far too busy caught within my life, 
That created such anguish with unnecessary strife.
Time, is an unwinnable fight,
It always grows wings and takes flight.
It does not wait or care for us,
Is time something that you can trust?
Time will soon become...

I’m a racist shopping trolley, 
I’m proud and happy and clean.
I don’t like hanging around with trolleys rescued from the river, 
Beaten up all rusty, and mouldy, and green.

I’m proud I look after my wheels,
Never crashing into shelves in the store.
I can’t stand those horrible...

Science Puzzle


Impossible to cure a wound of not supported by
Puzzle to me was when declared a science fail
I turned back in the history of early age
Then blinked eyes certainly has been enhancement

Numbers of those who joined the majority 
After my birth landed in the earth’s...

Something extremely wicked tears
    at the very fabric and nature of his form.
Where he yearns hopefully for a small piece of demented sleep
    but his mind lies stripped and bare before the storm.

How does one combat such an insidious...

To exploit our folks in a capitalist machine, 
To encourage the rich and the poor. 
To make the majority always bow down to the few, 
To fight the unwinnable war. 

We live in an antagonist inequitable state, 
A state that encourages lasting torment. 
Where the...

Old pallid lady seen here,
frail from cold,
snow-slicked roads,
sluggish old woman, 
a young guy,
stopped, whispered,
I'll lend a safe fist, 
life is an unwinnable battle?
guide the trembling feet,
and was proud of his strength and greet.

To a dripping ceiling in a monsoon rain
To a three sided coin, an unwinnable game
To a moth with no wings eating red super coats
To a pen long exploded, in splashes, it wrote
To four open daisies, compelled to a smile
To the moment you found me and...

Pathways twisting and turning down long winding roads,
     burdens happy and light, and then dark heavy loads 
Wild winter winds chill but leave smooth untouched snows,
     weird dreams raising up hopes, then spread cold fears and woes

When...

Every time I look in her eyes
I wonder who holds her when she cries
You would never guess what’s behind that mask
You wouldn’t have the respect to ask
She never lets it falter and fall
She keeps on going despite the horror in it all
Losing herself because no...

He sees her  beautiful, happy, yet some what sad 
And it makes his heart ache 
A feeling no one could fake 
 
She sees him unique, lovely, and wise 
Getting lost in his bright blue eyes 
And her soul cries 

There fighting day and...

An infinite spiral downward... a bottomless cavern,
Thinking I'm pulling myself up and out....
When in reality I'm pulling more rope down off an endless spool,
I'm forever encased in this tomb,
A tomb, I myself have chosen...
The world is alive and breathing above me,
While vile and repugnance rains...

when an impenetrable shield ~ is struck by an unbreakable sword 

in the collision not one atom is lost ~ and stalemate gets restored

far better to have a standoff truce ~ than fight an unwinnable war
