Best Wrecking Poems

She stood forlorn behind the chain link fence
Her mortared bricks still clinging to the earth
A battle lost with every gasping breath
Against the war of time and death

A monument behind a chain link moat
Reveals a glimpse of what had been supreme
With boarded eyes, the windows that watched us learn
Where teachers stood and wrote our names upon...

There was nowhere to go,

but I got some company for show-

shuttled me in and out of Po',

raced a car and blew a motor...


Got me into shows,

had me playin’ like a vote,

I was reachin’ for the glows,

but was satisfied by all the bones-

in and out of cold,

I had company for show,

they let me know I was...

Bleach - disinfectant
fly and hairsprays
polish - air fresheners
used everyday

In our homes
without a thought
whilst the planet around us
becomes out of control

Smog from rush-hour traffic
on the urban scene
irritates the chest
but then leave what you don't see

Chlorine in the
swimming baths
our work's not done
better change them to ultra violet

Oil prices gone up
while our fossils have gone down
yet fumes burn...

Rumbling, rattling sound, 
My sleep takes its leave,
Vessels are arranged to receive the guest,  
Bop, bop, bop, 
Each drop fell,
Until the vessels were three-quarters full, 
I sat with legs folded in a corner,
Wished I had the power to
 control the elements of nature,
The drops receded until there were just tiny drops,
I heaved a sigh...

I’ve waited too long for the wrong thing 
I play guitar just as I feel
Choose your poison, 
Make your dreams with truth...

Trump A Wreaking Bar

Trump is a human wreaking bar
Does whatever he wants as a star
Wondering why we will stand aloof
While he shots mouth off the roof
As much as he wants goes that far.

The Wrecking Company

By Elton Camp

Penny was knitting in the living room
When, against the wall, a terrible boom
A wrecking ball crashed inside
First, poor Penny tried to hide

She rushed out the back door
To see a sight she did abhor
Her house being knocked to the ground
She rushed to the foreman with a frown

“How dare you destroy my house...

A wrecking ball waves 
At the quiet street below
I watch riveted 
From behind the protesters
Trying to feel their passion

The impact echoes
a street no longer quiet
Sounds of destruction
And an old woman's soft cries
Under a looming, grey cloud 

A wrecking ball still
The crowds underneath scatter
I pretend to care   
As the old woman wipes tears
And the...

Be kind to yourself - don't commit no selfish crimes
I'm nice to myself at times...I treat myself with neglect sometimes
Worn out like a pair of jeans
You already spilled out the beans

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball...

WAITING FOR THE WRECKING BALL

Windows blank,
Doors ajar;
Empty now,
Waiting --

Too many mornings 
Filled with hope;
Renewed in a quest
For fulfillment.

Too many nights
Drained of promise;
Pulled in tight
For protection.

Every empty room
Holding memories
Of faded declarations
Of love and devotion.

Windows blank,
Doors ajar;
Empty now --
Tracks of suitcases
Filled with old dreams,
Filled with new tears,
Dragged across floors,
Pushed against doors,
Telling the story of vacated love.

Every empty...

So delicate at touch, when loudness occurs 
hush. 
A moment will arrive where we 
must consider trust.
The broken may remember a tender 
emotion, we've entered in a silent 
type of devotion. 
Burning wisdom, courage, & strength,
turning ourselves in to a wonder of 
weakness that it leaves us 
speechless. 
The Wrecking is a reckoning upon 
the...
