Cogs Poems - Poems about Cogs

Silent Night

We remember

That night of horror
When the future was stamped and the cogs were slain
When the execution ground shone red with blood
The blood of the helpless cogs

We remember the horrors
Gunshots like fireworks 
The cries of cogs like wolves in the night
As devil's favourite demons feed on raw flesh

We remember the depressed winds
The howling of the tortured

New Year In the Gridding Cogs

I cannot think of the dead anymore
nor travel far into the starry night.

I recall everything in off-white detail;
days are caught in grinding cogs.

This past year, and this New Year 
are already ground-up as fine 
as any raw, marrow-minced hope,
a dish that will be served tomorrow,
but only as a takeaway
as we drive through - mouths tight

Brain's Cogs

The roosters crowed the yellow sun up 
To rest behind a cloud
The poet enjoyed her morning cup
And quiet which was not loud

Sounds of nature and man increase
Song birds in the oak tree
Doves coo at a distance then cease
A car's motor disturbs the peace

A neighbor's dog visits me 
One where the tail wags the dog
Quietly lies

Mounting cogs grasp time
A Sprocket wheel turns about  
No lost hours inside
Ticking sounds coming alive 
Giving ‘rights’

The Cogs Keep On Turning

A distant fire glows
out on the horizon
spreading further as it grows
Early morning nature rises
calls as birds stir twittering
Day breaks 
crisp chilled air fresh on the lungs
Cats stalk through gardens
as news paper round girls and boys cycle on by
Dogs bark disturbed
by familiar letter box rattles
A couple of car doors close
first engines started for the day
all indicates

Social Cogs

In machine kingdom,
thousand minds work in chorus
smoothly like clockwork!

Cogs In the Wheel

You find in the slime of indecency
The rotted hollow of an empty skull - 
A mindless mind allows redundancy 
Repeated repetitions till it's full. 
 
Cogs in a wheel turning round on a run, 
As sparrows share their madrigals at dawn.
The tulips muse about the idol, Sun,
Iconoclastic papal paragon.
 
Once baptised in the bounty of
