Complaints Poems

Life's Unspoken Complaints

Thirst burned like fire... but the water was poisoned...
If I drank, I’d die—if I didn’t, I’d still die...
These two dilemmas remained unsolved throughout life...

Neither sleep was complete, nor dreams fulfilled...
Time whispered... "If only there was a bit more patience..."
Patience replied... "If only there was a bit more time..."

Complaints, I have many, against you, O life...
But I remain silent because what you gave me—
Many never even get that much...

When one door opens Joe Bonamassa Song

Joe's song inspires,
But what transpires?
Door can open anywhere,
Does it lead nowhere?
None escape life alive,
Meanwhile, let's thrive,
None win in this pond,
None come second,
Finally, we're crisps,
Souls become wisps,
No use looking back,
No complaints, great lifehack!

Premium MemberCalifornia Girl Complaints

Only snows up there
in the mountains, distantly
horizon's mirage

Hypothetically
we could drive all the way there
but gas costs too much

So they just sit there
like un-touchable artwork
beyond the cities

I've gone there before
trips in California snow
a long time ago

Complaints of Majority Attractive Women

When a woman respects a man , he turns her to be the queen of his life. 
Quote by poet. 

               Complaints of majority attractive women 
                  Are similar as usually left in the ways 
                      After being played by some men 
           And always failed to understand the reasons. 

When a kind man leave an attractive rich 
Woman and marrying a simple woman can astonish 
Some people who don't understand about
The best qualities majority men want 
From women they plan to live long with. 

Most attractive women quickly 
Attract majority 
Men but majority of them 
Remain unmarried 
Due to pride and
 Bogus beliefs
In the minds and
Thoughts 
which mislead them mostly. 

Majority men are arrogants by nature 
Same as majority attractive women 
Reason why some men always  wish
To be in long relationships with
Some attractive women and 
End up marrying some women 
Who don't real attract.  
Later on they come back 
To their attractive ex - girlfriends
And continue  enjoying lives with them.

Don'T Give Up the Race

DON'T GIVE UP THE RACE 
If we would just remember
No matter what happens to us
That our loving Savior
Always knows what's best

 We must quit our sad complaints
And prayerfully seek His will
Then He will daily work with us
And all His love instill

Frail as humans are
We're vital to our Lord
He cannot forget is own
And protects us with His Sword

So don't give up the race
We must endure unto the end
And as we do our best
His blessings He will send

Echoes of a Regret After Engagement

Our hands were restless
holding detectives brooms
with hope of sweeping storms

And our isolation have been exchange
with ecstasies
lurking around medallion of ease
to wind off doldrums from our feet.

Alas! Our ears had forgotten their fiendish
songs
& sundered our head from our neck;
plucking sad remix with tobaccos pipe.

Shall we forget this brooms
that swept our joy, & dust our dreams
into the turbulent zephyr?

Shall we cook the ears
that sold our head to affliction
in the pot of its unruliness?

My Human Complaints

Oh Heavens, what immense brightness
             and i am here without light...
             So many seas
             and I'm dead here
             of thirst...
             So many people
              so alive and i
              here without leaving
              of the paper... !

Empty Treasury

When they keep roaming about
Know something is coming aloud
They will share a plate with thee for now
All for something that you can't see around 
Once they gets hold of it, boom! they land

Much disbursement on franchise 
Lot of buy buy to appease
Too much bank drafts in the street 
But they accumulates back to the teeth
All for proper usage overseas 

After ascending the throne, 
They grew bones with horns 
They become rulers with thorns 
Control seats from home
Rotates the post with nepotism 

Lot of godfathers settlement 
Too many lavishing and merriment 
Life overseas for enjoyment 
Offspring no where at the moment 
But are groomed for the movement 

Empty treasury they complaint
Precursor have grind the nation 
They have flown with the lot
But budgets is appreciating 
Allowance never depreciating 
Empowerment still rolling in 

Little wonder if it's a journey of mandates 
Why they find it difficult to locate the gate 
If they can not really appreciate 
Because the nation is not their mate 
Whether stepping down would lead to hates
Since the masses have no right to the cake.

Solutions To Old Nursery Rhyme Complaints

I've often wondered who dealt with
fairy tale complaints. There seems to
be a lot of them among the fairy tale
acquaints.

Here are just a few suggestions I myself
if could, would make and maybe fairy Tale
land would be peaceful for heaven's sake.

Old Mother Hubbard had no bones in
her cupboard and her dog has no bone.
We could offer her Pease pudding and even
if it is nine days old, I am sure the dog would
be happy with the old crone.

Peter Peter Pumpkin eater, put his wife
in a shell, there he kept her very well.
There's no time to plead and pine nor 
no time to wheedle, if she would kiss him 
quick, he would be gone, and pop would go
that weasel.

Seesaw Margery Daw, Johnny got a new master
johnny only earned a penny a day because he
could work no faster. He should take lessons from
Peter Piper who could pick a peck of pickles and at
it became a master.

There was an old woman who lived in a house
exceedingly small, a man open his mouth and
swallowed woman, house and all. Maybe he should
of had some of the King's Blackbird pie and he could
have filled his tummy instead with a pie full of caw.

Housing Complaints

The souls of the Damned in Perdition
Oft complain of their hellish conditions.
   “TV reception is bad,
   There’s no WiFi to be had,
And there's talk of starting a petition!”

And added a lost soul named Hershel,
(Though some deemed this too controversial):
   “Plus we demand a refund
    For the Oprah reruns
And all the ’Hair Club for Men’ infomercials.”

Said the landlord, “Guys, I hear all your pleas.
You think brimstone and pitchforks are free?
  Things are tough all around,
  ‘Specially here underground.
And you do get to stay here rent-free.”

Complaints of a Photographer

Get the light just right
The sun is blinding
First shot too bright
Let's try rewinding

In the shade
What a bore
"Is this the sherade
I'm paying for?"

Lighting is dim
Dial down the shutter
On a whim
Don't dare flutter

If you can be still
As can I 
We can finish this deal
Before I cry

8 people cheesing
Sharp faces across the board
In the business of pleasing
Master this and I score

I lose light for this shot
I know you can't imagine
A job for a tot
With my little red wagon

The aperture skinny
To achieve this focus
Pay me a pretty penny
And I'll say hocus pocus

Quick! snap a solo
I want a blurred backdrop
Must change up the show
Widen my f stop

"What's taking so long,
Is this not your profession?
Are you doing it wrong
We paid for this session!"

Doctor... What's your name again
Do you have any tact
I have settings to tend
This is a balancing act

Have you seen my work
Did you not call to hire
Wipe off the smirk
Before your session expires

Life's Complaints Department

Life's Complaints Department

 Take it out on me.
 That’s what I’m here for.
 Make me work for it.
 Make me feel it.
 Your relationship is dead.
 I want you to spit bile.
 You hate your kids.
 Let your tongue be your weapon.
 The mortgage payment is overdue.
 Show me that desperation.
 You got some bad news.
 Prove to me your diamond hard anger.
 You’re having car problems.
 I want to see blood rush to your head.
 I am the concrete wall that absorbs the wreckage of your life.
 I am your temporary enemy.
 I am a sponge with a face.
 I calmly roast in my own public hell.
 Barely existing in my own numb regret.
 Forsaken by my own fragile identity.
 The sweat soaks through my shirt.
 An accidental pain junky.
 Ready for another fix.

Complaints

There’s nobody except a saint
Who never utters a complaint
Though there are those who seem to thrive
On kvetching to keep them alive.

“The chair’s too low, the waiter’s rude
And do not ask about the food!
The light’s too dim, the doctor’s mean;
The bathroom’s never really clean…”

The list is endless for, of course,
Complaints can come from any source;
But sometimes I’d just like to hide
From people never satisfied.

They’d hang their heads in true defeat,
Their day not really quite complete,
If fault could not be quickly found
That they could broadcast all around.

The rest of us must bear the brunt
Of every moan or tsk or grunt;
But look at me – I’m not abstaining – 
Carping ‘bout the ones complaining!

My Complaints Against God

As far as I remember...
Even in the depth of my slumber....
I have not done any blatant blunder...
Then why I'm I made to suffer....I wonder...!

I acted with an honest heart...
Tearing all the vices apart...
I tried that no one was ever hurt...
Shunning all curses & words that are curt...!

But what have I received in return....
Only pain & travails of a peculiar pattern..
Squeezed by friends....distorted by kin....
Behind the apparent indifference,I am shattered within....!

O God....if you are truly there....
To survey that everything is fine & fair....
Let me ask although I'm a mere human being....
Just give me a reason for my suffering....!
