Discouraging Poems | Examples

Premium MemberA String Of Thoughts

If all is of mind, then what are we doing?
Physical life, is it worth pursuing?
So discouraging, so immature,
How can mere man, ever endure?

The mind can think in such jubilations,
Creative thoughts giving sensations.
We rush to create, with no time to spare,
No patience displayed; we do not dare.

Take our time, uncertain as it seems,
Let thoughts mature manifesting our dreams.
For surely the timing is part of perfection,
A thing in its time finds no rejection.

Live in the moment, this time is just right,
To be who you are, bring others to light.
Each moment is filled with all that we need,
Sometimes we’re a blossom, sometimes a seed.

The joy is in sharing, however we can
A smile, a hug, or a comforting hand
Give unto others, you’ll surely receive
God’s blessings of Love if you only believe.

Windy Hills

The sun does beam
Over many a quick stream
That run into valleys flourishing with floral
Where the wind howls with seemingly no morals
It lashes out it's rage against swaying, tall trees
High doe they stand, and far doe they see
Rain falls light
Unless cursed with the winds' might
But on hot, Summers' eves
Does the wind blow little but leaves
Cooling and soothing
Still ever moving
Far is it's reach
From hill top to sandy beach
Carrying birds to and frow
Ever discouraging the hunters' bow
It is a thing of love, and a thing of hate
In any matter it is a thing of great debate
The air it fills
But never as greatly as the valleys' windy hills

These Self Evident Truths


According to one unnamed economics professor: " . . . The Republican party has become the largest active communist group in America ~ promoting " " rather than discouraging it".

Identifying the social characteristics that fit Karl Marx economic model of The Proletarian among extreme modern groups like Christian Opus Dei or the Right-Wing Libertarians will help the subservient masses to survive the coming edicts with the proper obsequious responses . . . 

That: 

". . . government of the people for the people and by the people" 

Shall never raise its ugly head again!

Is there a viable Communist party in America today


( I asked Google and this "Quora"  following)


"Since J6, the Republican Party has become the largest active communist group in America. Most Republicans have no idea what is and what is not communism, so they fail to comprehend that, in spite of their fascist rhetoric, they are promoting communism rather than discouraging it. With only a few exceptions, like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, “establishment” Republicans have given up trying to explain this to the base and have thrown in with the communists". - James F________* ~ Prof. Econ. - *________ State.

NOTES: 

If this is not a joke then why can't I stop laughing?

Premium MemberSHADOW OF LIGHT

Sometimes, I have to put my shadow under a tree
Observe the things right in front of me
Don't open your eyes if you can't see
Just prepare your intuition and count to three

Blink twice and open your eyes wide
Look at the view you thought of inside
Does it look like something you had memorized
Or is it a blank stare in the distance that caught you by surprise 

Whatever you saw in your vision, we see it too
It's a messed up world right in front of you
Life is changing, and it's a discouraging view
It's scary sometimes if you watch the news

The perspective we see is an illusion to some
When reality hits, it's an awakening of your vision
To look into the depth and believe you're not alone
Realizing at this point your shadow now has the light from the Sun

Premium MemberHate Seems Everywhere

Another election year
Hate seems everywhere 
A mist of righteousness fills the air
Hate seems everywhere
Everywhere just look around 
Hate so easy to be found
Unamazed why so many choose it
It is so easily to be fueled 
Amazed how so many find it 
So easily to be cruel
Hate seems everywhere 
Everywhere, all around. 
An unpleasant stench that surrounds
Turn down the discouraging nouns
Hate seems everywhere 
Spew through emotions so unclear
Grooms an ignored atmosphere 
in abyss of life's despair
Fed by paranoia and told fears
Becomes a common behavior 
around election year 
Hate seems everywhere

Premium MemberPRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS HELP AGAINST OUR WOES

August 24 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 45-47

Key Verse – Jeremiah 45:3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS HELP AGAINST OUR WOES	

Praise be to God for helping us in our woes since He:
Grants us His grace midst our guilt
Gives us His goodness along our griefs
Guides us with His gentleness and gladness
Governs us by His grandeur always guarding  
Girds us upon His generosity against our greed

Jeremiah 46:28 Praise be to the Lord for 
correcting us by:
Smiting our pride
Seeking our praise
Showing our poverty
Shaping our personality
Subduing our perversion

Jeremiah 47:4 Praise be to the Saviour for 
shielding us against spoilage to:
Deliver us from destructive disaster
Direct us toward determined decision
Draw us to Him by His delightful defense
Drive us away from discouraging distraction
Declare to us His distinctives on which we depend. Amen!

Bright and Beautiful,
beacon of light
reaches out and touches
my soul as I make my way
home from a discouraging encounter
It is a good reminder of a vast universe

Premium MemberDiscouraging the Gossips and Rumormongers

I am confused by the rumors,
but give them no meaty merit
For I have not yet spoken to the source
I always go to the person and ask them if it is true

Please do not try to bother me
For I have learned the secrets of an instigator
When you say “I don’t know whether to tell you this”
it means I probably do not want to hear it.

Sometimes I say “please do not tell me”
But your goal is to rile me, and you tell me anyway
I do not react or overreact, because I do not want you to have power

Thus, you go away to bother others.
Rarely coming back to me.
It is my secret way of discouraging the gossips
and the rumormongers, and it works for me.

Premium MemberCan Do May

Can-Do May had a fantastic attitude
she ignored regular naysayers, thought them rude
her own family would say there is no way….
discouraging entrepreneur, Can-Do May

She was the first to find a live dinosaur
caught in a net with a rhino and a boar
amazing antics were Can-Do May's daily agenda
One-upped her family, not planning to offend-a.

Her weird family continued to put her down.
Called her names like buffoon, idiot and clown.
Jealous they were of their own child so bright
Negativity in them was not quite right

Can-Do May lived a life of vigor and vim
Nothing like the pathetic likes of them
But she never made fun or put them down
For she knows what it is like to be called a clown.

Premium MemberThe Wounded Hero

Yesterday's heartaches fade away;
and yet, memories tend to stay.
Though love offers no guarantee,
it's the key to setting hearts free.

Clinging to unreconciled fears;
you blame fate for your years of tears.
And erect emotional walls;
discouraging love when it calls.

Your heart choreographs each move;
as if love has something to prove.
And as doubt denigrates your mood,
you get defensive and unglued.

When your chances drop to zero,
you react, the wounded hero.
Learn to give, as well as receive;
be true to truth; do not deceive.

Premium MemberPurple Clouds

When dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky,
the angry moon frowns with whispered sigh.
Darkened storms threaten to weep,
discouraging sleep
where dreamers
lie.
Star streamers
stare and proudly peep,
promising soft light will sweep
welcome diversion to weary eye
when dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky.

How beautiful you were
Your love flourished and did transfer
To us upon with ambitious dreams
And love for each did stir.

You flitted about, to each one nourishing 
Not in discouraging but, encouraging.

To say, “It’s going to be all right.”
And the future is in your sight.”

With God's grace and never His absence. 
You climbed the stairs into the arms with guidance.
And in His favor manifest love spellbind 
Comfort to those you had left behind.

Premium MemberSpontaneity

discarding narrow thought flow crutch

we learn directly by soft touch

and what we garner we relay

to the vast void in childlike play

entwined thus with the universe

we dance without need to rehearse"

We sing heart songs making up the winged words
As we go along amethyst path undisturbed
Music we make brings about purple peace
We are indigo instruments beautiful and unique 
For gold soul music is you it is me
The light uses us spontaneity 

Painting the universe in rainbow shades
Dancing romancing with step’s homemade 
No need to worry about a teal thing
We exist to persevere life’s jade journey 

No need to fear making maroon mistakes
Throw it in the bowl we’re making lime life cake
From the sour lemons make sweet lemonade 
Despite discouraging demons we keep faith
To trust green gut finding fuchsia way
And turquoise touch in happy gypsy day
