Best Wretch Poems
To Save a Wretch Like MeCast away from Heaven!
Seeking to Devour!
Listen to what I'm telling!
As we face the final hour!
It is Now upon us!
Revelation told!
Jesus we do trust!
Satan is his foe!
Lucifer has been plotting!
Look around you'll see!
He is very cunning!
Trying to deceive!
The bible says it clearly!
Listen closely please!
You will...

The WretchSitting on the porch watching worlds collide
And wondering if the truth will be classified
Sipping a mint julep; knowing I should be horrified
Though I would consider that undignified
Gazing at the players moving their pawns
Fighting against destiny to become icons
Listening to the warriors singing their songs
And to...

Janky WretchJanky Wretch
At the nearest traffic light
stood a car with all its might
Porsche or some other tool
souped up initially a pretty sight
Than I thought ‘no what a fool’
such a posh car is never cool
driven near a township shack
where ragged beggars work for gruel
Of course the vagrant...

The Poor WretchSluggish suppurating symbol of disgust,
Dragged wailing into a reproachful life
Child of wrath and sloth and lust
All she will ever know is
Strife
Curdled flesh clings to a brittle scaffold
Pebbled orbs recline in sunken hollows
Starving slavering mouth unfolds
Engulfs the world and then it
Swallows
Gawky appendages waver against a...

Wretch, By BirthMost interestingly, every time I’m involved in, or connected to anything bad;
My mother most angrily exclaims, “You’re just like your wretched dad.”
This frustrates and confuses me; because I don’t even remember him;
How can we be so identical, when my memory of him is extremely dim?
I...

Neglected Wretch: HimI can't hide from him
I am guilty, a sinner so grim
Kill the sorrow
Of yesterday's tomorrow
My lights grow dim
Especially when I think of HIM
I am truly happy...singing songs that are rather...sappy!
While I'm on the spotlight
I've fought battles, even when I...

Miserable WretchI search for serenity hopelessly
Deprived of happiness and peace
This brain consumed by misery
Often seems to be my worst enemy
These toxic thoughts drive me insane
Each one contrived by a sickly brain
The result is overwhelming pain
Attempts at self help end in vain
Each struggle ends in crushing defeat
My...

A WretchStanding by the graveside,
straps lower you down.
I glance towards heavens high,
where solace seems to frown.
Broken and bewildered,
my soul has turned to stone.
I cannot accept mortality,
whilst denial fills my own.
Sinking into grief so deep,
loves price, for being born.
Death I...

Wretch Undone-I am
a wretch undone---
and I took my troubles to the Lord
and I cried out to Him
and He answered
My prayers
and I
I took my troubles
To the Lord
Leaving shelter
Needing a cure
Needing healing
Need not be alone
I was a...

Psychic WoesFlutters a crocodile gecko his thick-edged tail,
And licks his sticky lips with his twisted tongue;
His eyes ablaze with fire, and in his abdomen,
Rotten corpses stand erect like haunting tombs.
And now - withering thuds of heavy strides
Drown the boulder, the child’s hideout,
And a...

Devil Worshipwe dance, we must
hold hands, squeeze, travel
that maze of emotion
along each other’s eyes
and wary when I find
myself alone, I plead
please, please, please
do not beget
the wretch’s child...
