Cheapened Poems | Examples


Premium MemberPutrid Peace Plan for Israel


Lasting peace since time began, was never won nor made by man.
Treaties are made, then hastily broken, like cheapened, tin cans.

Israel was just offered to capitulate to all inhumane, demands of Hamas?
Those antedeluvian, October genocidists~are our leaders in DC smoking 
fetid grass?

Our own USA, is sadly, way out of political, educational and moral control.
While empty brains in DC, obviously hostile to Israel, are made of mushy 
Jelly- Rolls?

DC does not have a clue that body parts from the Nova Festival are still not even identified?
Sadly, this adminstration supports Hamas, and wants all Jews dead and their freedoms…..petrified!

Am I a Snob

Am I a snob 



Going for lunch at the downstairs restaurant 
the staff was busy and had no time to greet us 
the food we had ordered beforehand arrive an hour late
I had a glass of wine but only took one sip put the wine aside
my irritation was palpable, and I wouldn't say I like being ignored.
This happens when you visit a restaurant too often.
the food, when it served was good but complained about the wine
I was offered another glass but declined.
Made note not to go there for sometimes.
At the building's reception, the new porter didn´t bother to get up
he was dressed  in a T-shirt and wore jeans continued to read his newspaper, his presence cheapened the building which has a splendid name.
I dislike rude people, the lack of manners I sometimes encounter.
Please and Thank you, are not swear words.
I read a bit fell asleep when waking up I thought never mind 
they can go and  off.

Throne of Pain

Broken feelings…
My chest of gold
A torments ransom
No trinkets sold
The treasure bounteous
Walls lined with blood
Its hurt and pain
I have withstood
The jewels lack sparkle
But shimmer deep
Their cut and clarity
My soul to keep
And words if cheapened
Must leave this throne
As the lid reopens
  —on the pain I own

Love Like Codeine

your love was pure
pure like fire
ephemeral and fleeting
and bore a desire

now lost and broken
contemptuous of what's cheapened
I dream of illusions
though I am not sleeping

your love was ephemeral
illusive or illusionary 
like daydreams 

my love was craven
unsure imasculine
or maybe just craving

now lost and contemptuous
of being cheated
by promises I made myself
nightmares that stop me from sleeping

and thoughts of you
so pure and vibrant
and fleeting

all that disappointment
all that potential
all that could have been

and thoughts of sleep
codeine to cleanse
and wash away the pain

and thoughts of you
cruel and callous
not to feel the same

my heart is pure, pure like fire
warn-down in its beating
for you forlorn and broken 
with unfulfilled, unworthy desire

My Hijab

I am a real Muslim woman 
The one that obey the rules of my unseen God 
And give total submission to the prophet teaching 
To wear hijab and be free from all conundrum of life 

I am a real Muslim woman 
My Hijab is my piety 
My viel will always be on me 
I am a queen, a wife of a king I'm unique  and different 
I don't shake my hands with strange men 
My beauty will not be cheapened with worldly things 
I am disciplined humbly with my dressing
I am respectful and I'm Auspiciously 

This piece of cloth that cover my body is full of tranquility
A sign of total submission to my husband 
I am a real Muslim woman 
And I am the sacred Gold of my husband 
I am not just an ornament for your eyes 
I am a phenomenal Muslim woman 
The one that eat only from the hands work of her husband
Uniquely as the  gold  which must be mined
My hijab is my piety
My hijab is my choice and my life

Premium MemberMiss Teenage Hawaii

My birthright are the emerald islands in the sparkling
Waters of the Pacific Ocean,
With the beckoning sun, the cresting waves, and the jeweled sands,
A paradise in the lore of sailors far and wide,
A land of aloha and a land of mystery,
I am of mixed ancestry from the land of Ireland,
The lands of Asia, to the land of the American Indians,
My beauty is statuesque as the pinnacles of the Napali Coast,
And my auburn hair waves like the fauna against the gentle winds,
My russet eyes are set wonderfully against my bronzed skin,
The soft scent of my tropical aura mixes with the sweetness of hibiscus,
I am a royal of the lands of Hawaii,
But nations and peoples have warred for my inheritance,
My land is no longer sacred, and my soul is cheapened for bartering,
In your world I am nothing more than a minority,
And so it is I will remain in my world, in a land which I find mystical
And lovely!

Reflections of You, Down and Dirty

Illegible thoughts penned through blind fingers find an audience of one pathetic.
Lying upon a pointed side, drunk with sorrows' wine, I emit no care or ability to.
Last nights mascara’s tears run into a smeared lipstick frown, and upturned empty bottle.
Broken spirit lies awaiting the shadow of death to steal it's mind and soul.
But greater torture still, would be the endless nausea that plagues the cheapened recipient.
To blend within societies lesser fortunate would be lovely, alas I cannot cast my vote.
For I became diseased decades long ago when new was eye fetching.
Draped in natures gown of mud, spit and dead leaves I wallow to the tune of misery.
Only lifting my eyes to greet the wind that beckons me to see it.   
Low, ground level views are poetic in my minds eye, watching the bugs work.
Hurry bugs, not much left of me today, but watch out for my tongue, for it knows you well.

That Deceitful Mouth

Don’t speak to me with that mouth
That deceitful mouth
Which lies while smiling to my face
 
Don’t speak through your weak mouth
Too weak to resist temptation
Whose lips kiss in unforgivable betrayal

Don’t speak to me with that mouth
That has embraced another
A mouth full of cheapened kisses 

Don’t speak through your weak mouth
Don’t dare to seek to justify
Your unjustifiable infidelities

Don’t speak through that odious mouth
That unspeakable dishonest mouth
Your unclean vessel of elicit ********

Don’t with those unfaithful lips
Whose kisses caressed anothers skin
Speak my name in terms of love

Don’t say sorry with that mouth
Don’t contaminate my ears
With platitudes and insincerity 

Speak to me with that insidious mouth
That foul and deceitful mouth
Only to utter a final goodbye
