Best Waste Of Time Poems
We live in a world of time
everything is controlled by the clock
always looking to see where it's at
engagements band meetings in its lock
Social media is not my scene at all
whatever it is Twitter, Instagram or Facebook
people wanting to tell all that they think
nothing is secret not even how we look
What do people want to know about me?
I'm a pretty boring kind of bloke
people are not really my favourite item
they would want instead a diet coke
But having said all that about me
suppose they are things I do too
that when I think about it are a waste
taking photo pics just to show a view
I love to write and receive emails
also, watch westerns from yesteryear
love being retired being just myself
dislike speaking verbally to avoid fear
Now these things latterly others wonder
what a waste of time they would be
but to me, they bring me peaceful content
just as meditating upon Calvary's tree
Waste, time
If life is not a total waste of time,
perhaps we had a different other line,
back and forth a hundred thousand years,
with blood n death impaled by spears,
sometimes,
duty caused the crime,
if it's not a total waste of time?
resurrection, sometimes,
have some faith I’ll bung it in:(
oftimes,
borne again upon the wind,
another chance to help a friend,
or waste your life, in worthless sin,
but, on you I can depend!
Sometimes?
Is grey a seeming state of mind,
overcast has gray behind,
but then the sun comes out...
unwind...friend,
And suck some life back in!
sometimes.

A long time he has hung on
It's about time he gets the boot
The rest would be glad to see him gone
They'll team up to say good-bye to Newt

Let me waste my breath
Scream this at the top of my lungs
Until my face turns blue
You'll never learn
I'll never learn
And I'll never disconnect this bad habit
You need me like a a druggie needs his needles
I need you like a bullet to the head
We existed once
We exist now
Just crumbling apart until nothing is left
So many years spent
In obidience, biting my tongue until it bled
Of wonderful laughs and bliss
Memories that are inseperable to my heart
But what we have is headed for the grave
Where it will lay it's head and rest in peace
This friendship has reached it's expiration date
Unraveled with time like an antique rug
You're the one pulling the strings, kneading the threads apart
I'm the one trying to sew it up on the other end
Stabbing and pricking my fingers till they bleed
Working in vain to stitch this friendship
Stitch this gaping hole, splattered in blood from these hands
That have worked hours, days, weeks, and months
To fix this while you unravel it
Down to nothing but the single threat that made it.
I'm wasting my breath
and I'm wasting my time
To salvage a friendship
That wasn't friendship
Life is a waste of time
Why Life?
If a flowing river is not ready to still
A falling rain shall stop
If a blowing wind shall disturb
A breathing man shall live
An ambitious man shall die
Then, life is a waste of time.
Sometimes I think my life a waste of time
That I have accomplished nothing of note,
When I observe those with lives sublime
I fear I am stuck in a backwood remote.
My mind becomes overwhelmed with fear
That I may leave this life without a legacy
With all I have accomplished left at a bier,
Where some have labeled all mendacity.
Yet I know that time for all must expire
'Tis true, that life on this earth is transient,
And we must to a greater beyond aspire
Then, only then, will I know what it meant.

Stop acting like nothing is happening
in your life.
As well as we both know the truth.
You know you suffer in academics,
but you are wasting your time in academics.
Just do what you are good at,
you know you can sing,write and dance,
but ain't following.
What are waiting for,
play your charectar,
and play it smart.
Life is too short.
If you don't do
what good at now,
will never get a chance to do it.
Oh please don't waste your time,
because someone in a cold soil is
still crying for for that time.
wondering how much time I have
and wasting the time wondering
sitting here feeling sorry for myself not
taking advantage of the time
exhausting myself to no end
of course there are so many things to do
friends to see and catch up with, but still
terrified of this last bit of time
I do nothing and continue to sit here by
myself constantly wondering as
every day passes me by with no conclusion
I've always believed that I was aware of where my thoughts lie
and that they often arrive unbidden, as a foe or friendly ally.
Sometimes grabbing my attention, sifting around in my mind,
even those I attempt to suppress, the ones I feel are unkind.
Do thoughts lead to awareness or is it the other way around?
I pondered the contrast until an arc of enlightenment was found.
I discerned that I'm able to know whether I'm deluded or clear,
and that thinking gives way to awareness when it draws near.
There seems to be a slim boundary that separates the two,
often transparent, like a sheer veil I can almost see through.
I don't think I'd be wise to suppress my thoughts as they arise,
or my awareness may be obscured if forced to hide in disguise.
Does wisdom come to me through thought and meditation?
I believe it does because I feel a sense of positive connotation,
or an intrinsic vision that fills my mind with a spiritual calm.
A soothing measure that heals my stress like a healing balm.
Time
being
wasted by
many because
they refuse to get
up and go do something
with their lives. Many have no
education which leads to no
job. Just sitting home waiting for the
parents to do everything for them.
You used to be so in love with me
Once upon a time I meant everything to you
I took one look into those eyes so blue
And I found myself head over heels too
We were almost always on the phone
But now anytime it rings
It's never your smile followed by your ringtone
Yet to your memory my heart clings
After everything you put me thru
You'd think it'd be easy to let you go
Still it felt like the hardest thing I'd ever have to do
I just kept telling myself to take it slow
Taking one day at time
Telling myself time was all it would take
Sure that sooner or later I'd be just fine
And for you my heart would no longer ache
Just never thought it would take this long
Didn't think the little things would still get to me
But sometimes all it takes is that one song
And I find with my heart I must plea
So I don't fall too far back
Cuz it took so long for me to get here
Finally feel like I'm on the right track
Learning to live with my biggest fear
But none of that matters anymore
Cuz the thoughts and feelings we shared
Are nothing more than an old memory from before
You more than showed you no longer cared
Hidden behind all your lies
It took me all this time to finally find
The truth behind those baby blue eyes
Though it wasn’t easy I finally made up my mind
To let the past be the past
Set the love I held for you free
Cuz this time was my last
We'll never be what we used to be
Can't believe I wasted all this time
This much I've come to learn is true
Never again will you be mine
But hey its cool….I'm so over you!!!!!
With her perfect body and nimble mind
Pleasure she brought when you desired her time
But all too soon pleasure turned to love, and like an incarcerated dove longing to be free, she left without a word
Just a pleasurable waste of time
She wanted to teach kids, so she went to R.S.U.
Much of it indoctrination, she didn't know what to do
She could walk out and forego her degree
Or play along, hide her views, and be less free
He put his boys in a school, that once was good
But it didn't teach the basics it should
They told his boys gender was fluid, and they were racists too
A waste of the kid's time, and it isn't even true.
Mr. Blinken had rainbow flags on every embassy abroad
Make traditional cultures think our values were a fraud.
D.E.I. had to pervade the department of state
Realpolitik had to be gender theory and ending hate.
Taxpayer funds are time - that you work to earn
Time wasted by fools; time set on fire to burn.
A woke hire was put in charge of a Med School to change its ways
The residents worked 20 hours in a row some days
But he inserted ideology, at the expense of class time
If a patient in future dies, is stupidity a crime?
Poseidon Desalination got permits, met all the reviews
But a committee in L.A. put an end, so Angelinos lose
The company spent over 20 years fighting off greens who sue
What a waste of time, and a loss of so much fresh water too.
They may talk in values that we seem to share
But do we want to be ruled by what they feel is fair?
Do we want to spend so many hours, for each virtue decree
Do we want the hourglass to empty, the businesses to flee?
I had an elementary education degree; it was worthless.
Too many people had one – there were thirty-seven substitute teachers in my town.
Everybody and their brother had this degree.
A total waste of my time.
I decided to go back to school after a guidance counselor talked me into it.
To be – ha! A guidance counselor.
I was not sure what they did, but he said
“We do what you do, but we get paid for it.”
I had been volunteering in a middle school at the time.
I was not fond of the classes I had to take to become a school counselor.
They seemed stifling, boring, and too full of stuff I knew I would never need.
I did it anyway, because you have to have the degree to get the job.
I have been an elementary school counselor for twenty-seven years.
I love every second of it!
Most of what I do I learned by myself, because of life, and through motherhood.
But I had to have the degree to get the job, so I am glad that I persevered.
Actually time is never wasted for each second of it is struggling to keep us alive!
