Degrading Poems | Examples

Premium MemberFlipFlop



You make me happy/
You make me sad.
You treat me like a queen/
You hurt me bad.
You want me to stay/
You tell me to leave.
You say you trust me/
You don't believe me.
You're caring and sweet/
You're cruel and degrading.
See,I'm on my feet/
Now feel my love fading.

FLY HIGH!

‘tis not this scape judgy?
‘lo, prey on the defenseless
short of a chirp, quite rationalized
facets of your twisted facade
the soul degrading you?
despises, despises theeself
thy insecurities shall protrude
thy good and their wrong spotlighted
i won’t get ready for this world
it will get ready for me
let their hearts pound in their chest
cause I’m fighting for those who can’t fight
it’s going the hell down
FLY HIGH! No one but you has lived a second of your life
FLY HIGH! The useless always negatively lie
FLY HIGH! We’ll prove our existence to those who reject it
TO THE SKY! F I G H T !

Premium MemberThe Enough is Enough

In my haze dividing 
I clown my hysteria inviting 
A will to finish this degrading 
Life of fawning. 

Abandoned by rape
Of a virgin in wanting
Now this life is a canvas 
Of abandonment 
And consoling.

Into hell I cast all wishes and desires
And petty arguments of
Gifted minds in drunken stupor. 
I glide on failing and bathing in fire.. 

On tonight's global gift
I am debunked and scolded
For not falling in line
With this destiny distorted.

No junk in my veins, 
No pop to my verbiage 
Forever now grounded
In rules of the Owner. 

I vow and repent 
For this final agreement 
That ripped through my decision 
To try and offer a help I can't muster.

Darkest Evening

This frail feeling of worldly fate
Drowning and fast fading, mortal and degrading

This voice, his lips on my ear; whispering, 
Hurtful hate; feeding on fear

These choices, crucial, turning life into a surreal blur of chaos 
Dreadful moments just waiting to occur

The darkness pounces on my soul wrapping and clawing its way to my mind, 
There is something very valuable to find

For a most Holy Spirit is guarding my hallowed heart 
And the daunting demons have yet to part

disgust of men

seeing the way the men around you act within the shadows then within the daylight smile and care within a holy “reasoning”-
 purely disgusts the soul. 

knowing that the men around you have been capable such sinful acts that rot the soul, 

as i gaze into their eyes it feels as if im searching through their souls-
degrading and picking apart each unholy piece,

 it gives them earth shattering knowledge that someone knows of their sins. like a sinful man spewing to the preacher. 

i can tell they feel the same.

 i can feel the shame and disgust within themselves as i search through their soul through their eyes-

 they can feel the shallow disgust radiating off my soul,

 as if it was the devil looking the blinding lights of heavens in the direct soul-
 i can feel the unholiness inside themselves. 

yet this isn’t my intention-

 it’s their guilt of the shameful things they have done im merely just looking it in the eye.

Lost Myself

If only I'd seen,
Your true colours shine,
Before your poisonous thoughts,
Could ever dominate mine.

Your toxic, degrading comments,
Began taking their toll,
Making me feel worthless,
Tactically destroying my soul.

Manipulating me to believe,
Way too many times,
I was completely crazy,
Guilty of YOUR crimes.

Searching for the evidence,
I could never find,
All just to prove,
Wasn't loosing my mind.

Still to this day,
My anger burns deep,
I once lost myself,
To a narcissistic creep.

Premium MemberCheap Theatre

The confirmation hearings are low brow theatre
packs of C actors and bitter stone throwers
getting off by degrading-disgracing- humiliating.
Transparency and truth are a pale afterthought.
Do let your children watch the theatre though....
Explain to them that this is how you should never
converse with or treat another human being.

Now, for an encore take them to a playground 
leave your cell phone behind
let them teach you the art of play... 
all over again.

Premium MemberExhortation

Emotion’s exalt me
Scorching me
tormenting me
understanding distorting
it passes by my misfortune
innocence transforms into trauma
around and around like a carousel
as i go  parallel
so does my armor
talking on a life of its own further
this is my exhortation
awakening
it’s consequences obnoxious parading
degrading
that defining moment 
where i lost faith
so i went astray 
next time i’d excommunicate
that soothes the state
it became subconcious 
its exhortation so to be honest 
subconcious logic.

Money And It's Slave

Birds die for prey
People die for money
Money's charisma slave people
It's power cater each heart to supple
Not careful you will beg as ego chill
Some avarice sell their soul to hell
To some life is easy because of money
So pretty a relationship is sweet as honey
I never told that fiat money people worship
Not even a slight of human pride stop a soul grip
For money rule the world of lust and praise
As human behavior degrading now abase.

Path Of Destruction

A road to nowhere is all they construct
He who blindly follows will self-destruct
We awaken at dawn just to suffer
For many, life couldn’t be any tougher

Their dark cunning plans brought to light
The road to dystopia now glaringly bright
No real care for our sons and daughters
The evidence is in the poisoned waters

Treasured values slowly erode away
Degrading further day after day
People are just sacrificial pawns
To the maniacal of societies higher echelons

Billions spent to find that cancer cure
Trillions more needed, my good sir
A doctor’s visit may set you right
Treat your symptoms for the next fortnight

To a violent world they gravitate
The hidden hand doesn’t hesitate,
The deceived are marched off to war
To adorn their brothers in blood and gore

This digital age is one big prison cell
No more coins to drop in the wishing well
Just another languishing, unanswered dream
That, unfortunately, one cannot redeem

Premium MemberWashing The Feet

Stewards washed the feet of their masters to make them relaxed.
Master, dignity-filled, bestow blessings on these small ones.
Did Jesus, as a master, make his disciples feel taxed?
His love for them made them feel like they were truly his sons.

Who is great? Who is small? This concept went with the world's ways.
Should such feelings overtake the minds of intimate friends?
He taught them, like a child, to blaze with a glaze of pure rays.
Did they, as grown-ups, easily give up their earthly trends?

Truths go off-head when ego fills the physique and psyche.
He who humbled himself wished to teach them humility.
This deed indeed is a deed of ending a power hike.
Is there any virtue yet greater than integrity?

Each one carried out this teaching of their master ever
Each yearned for more degrading death for him than the other.

Make Today Your Best
Miracle Man
December 6th 2023

The time we’re living in today is bad,
we’re all touchy and can’t agree on much.
Today we’re obsessed with our quest for gad,
which leaves us with reality, out of touch.

Because all in life wasn’t intended for pleasure,
each day, for sure, bad moments will come.
Each day let’s strive to give God good measure,
a life in Christ will never become humdrum.

We must be more aware of what we do and say,
and the degrading of others take no part.
Our statements taint the message we convey,
For the tongue utters what is in the heart.

Premium MemberServitude

I suppose there’s a difference
between voluntary and involuntary servitude,
maybe in the same way consenting adults 
enter into all sorts of degrading personal situations
which otherwise would be major felonies,
but when it’s happening
it doesn’t feel much different;
servitude is servitude after all.

As the Great Bard once said,
“you have to serve somebody”,
and the spectrum of service certainly is broad;
from uplifting and honorable
to enslaving and degrading,
but technically it’s all service,
service to others
service to our own karma,
and in service comes sacrifice.

I suppose there’s a difference 
between voluntary and involuntary sacrifice,
but when it’s happening
it certainly doesn’t look much different,
but it is.

The power of will
can overcome any adversity
turning hardship into opportunity,
curse to blessing.

And this power is important,
but what is the power this will is balancing;
what is it that sets the whole into motion?

Maybe as we serve others, serve the situation,
we discover simply 
it isn’t us.

Old Couples

Do you remember the time,
When we used to carry only a dime,
No gold, no dollars,
But the world were like yours and mine?

The bliss, together we share,
We comfort each other in every despair.
The fondness that seems unending,
Our love that's bound, unyielding.

But oh, how can we not fight against time?
In its power, we can only resign.
Your long black hair, now silver white,
Now your eyes, and it's degrading sight.

We both fear that every morn and evening is our last.
That's why we wish not to fall asleep too fast.
Everyday is like meeting you for the first time “Hi!”.
And every night is like saying a painful “Goodbye”.
