Druggies Poems | Examples

Premium MemberBlack White Yellow Red

Black, white, yellow, red, to the Fed we are just sheep for herding, those defiant put to sleep – know governments with evil have got into bed, knee-cap the rule of law, resulting in crime and greater fear, no hope for a society living with constant dread – Destroy their non-compliant God! State to take the place, as Stalin, Hitler, Mao righteously said – Demons wear suits and fly private jets – the rest of us back to horses and buggies, pacified with lurid performances, manipulated into being mindless druggies –

The Judge

The Judge

Accused and accuser, a battle for life,
Abused and abuser, a husband and wife,
Thieves and robbers, the unjust takers,
Pushers, druggies, and even drug makers,

Quickly I decide the fates of these,
The server of justice, respect me please,
I try my best to serve with skill,
To protect the public from those that kill,

Justice is not so cut and dried,
Letter of law before each case tried,
Some guilty go free in this court of mine,
Others are released with only a fine,

Stacks of papers, stories to tell,
Left to me to judge them well,
Pros and cons, wrongs and rights,
As I listen to lawyers’ fights,

Restitution for damages, punishment for crime,
Fault being corrected by the serving of time,
Hours to contemplate how life went astray,
Freedom restricted and fines to pay,

Equality in justice, fairness to all,
Innocent till guilty, no time to stall,
How can we be sure that I’m fair and just?
There’s only one way, In God We Tru$t.

Premium MemberI Walked Away From the Fast Bucks

I took that walk thru the forest of redemption 
I followed a trail and saw normal people
However, I wasn't one of them
At that time, I was like that hamster on a wheel
Running in circles with the dark side
Dodging the law 
Everyday I could be found in a pool hall
Consorting with the cons, crooks and druggies 
I continued on that trail 
When I did come to a lake I saw my reflection 
And in the same light, I saw a thug
That wasn't for me, my piece of pie
I'm more of an admirer of nature
Rabbits, squirrels and singing birds
That's what I wanted, being normal
Seeing the light, seeing the forest 
Instead of being on the dark side
Being behind the eight ball 
During those years, I wasn't a blossom 
Seven years shady under a fruitless tree
That was my spill and spiel 
I walked away
I walked away from that sad song
And treadmill 
Who cares about a fast buck
... and knowing where I was ...
I much rather be a slow deer

I chose to run, but had I stayed, things would have been like Poetry Contest

Liar

Dear mom, 
Liar… 
That’s what’ve called me all my life 
I’m tired 
My heart hurts 
You think I’m selfish 
When I know that’s the last thing I am 
I’m the most unselfish 
You don’t get it 
Pushing me away 
Hurting me 
It needs to stop 
It’s killing me 

I’m angry with myself 
I don’t know what I did 
To make you feel this way about me 
To think I’m a selfish liar 
What did I do ma 
Is it because of the predisposition
Is it because I was born by some druggies 
What is it ma 

There’s things that shall stay unsaid 
Because sadly you wouldn’t believe 
Even if it was written in the stars 
It’s sad I gotta live my life labeled 
Labeled as a liar a selfish liar 
When’s it gonna stop ma
I’m tired ma 
I’m hurting ma 
Oh please ma, what did I do

Premium MemberOnce Upon a Time When a Bat Eater Ruled the World

Once upon a time:
a wet market bat eater
turned humanity into mask wearing
double ply paper hoarding survivalist.
Rapist and assorted ogres were being set free
making room for citizens cuffed for walking beaches
san fran libs gave free housing to convicts and druggies
while teachers lived in vans and cars like degreeless hippies...

PEOPLE! this is just a glimpse of what is to come
what happens when a rogue sets off a dirty bomb
millions of desperados will be displaced overnight
they'll disperse into the gun stripped suburbs
frantically -hungry-dirty minded
willing to snuff your life
for a little grub and 
a sparkling behind
"crazy" preppers
were oh-so right...
once upon a time.

Oh How Then

Oh How Then
The powers that be took us into this mess
And we as people decided to act
Yes that’s right we banged our pans and spoons
Screeching ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
You there over there yes you in Europe
With your plans and rules and laws and languages
We are English and do not want your rules
Or to be ruled by you from citadel Europe
What will we gain from this?
Having to use Metric instead of Imperial
Pity the market traders now in jail
For refusing to bow down to Metric
In a clink with druggies and gangsters and murderers
But the Euro MPs should be inside
For maiming our lives with their red tape
From fishing quotas to banana size
They say jump and we ask how high?
So we did jump and jumped out of Europe!
Some wanted to Remain but I voted Leave
Yet what a mess it created oh dear
May’s leadership is tatty just like her
And her job is hard even damned
But there is No Deal with the chaos it brings
Brings to us in England and you in Europe
What will it really bring?
A sense of leaving but then what?
Increased air fares, a need for Visas and new wars???
Time will tell...

Premium MemberPuppies Swim With Guppies-

Nothing but puppies;
Swam with the guppies;
Hang out cause their buddies, 
When they get out of the pool yukky
Smelly are the fur biddies, 
And those floppies, kitties,putties, putty, puffy, bunnies, 
Eaten all the yuppy gummies, 
While those piggies huskies  tummy’s are muddy

Hang out cause their buddies, 
Nothing but puppies;

Humanetics Highway

I saw a woman
Carrying water on her head
Thousands of people
Without a home or bed
...but I passed in my jeep

I saw a scraggly man
Lying on the street
And strange druggies
I never want to meet
...so I passed in my taxi

I saw a waitress
With a bruise around her eye
A car accident 
Where someone died
...but I passed with the others

I saw a preacher pray
And lie in the same day
I saw wedding vows exchanged
And that same marriage rearranged
...I stopped

I saw people who didn't matter
Become a part of who I am
Every interaction
Has informed growing man
...to build highways

Written by Trudy Schrader on 08-02-2018

Note: The tireless, endless, seemingly meaningless work of  our predecessors, has built the highways naturally, spiritually, and emotionally, that we enjoy everyday, without any recognition. When we look into the eyes of our tired elderly, may we always be in awe of what their sacrifice has made available to us.

This Site Is Looked At By the Cops

This site is looked after by the cops 
poets are drunk dopers
losers and boozers that never win
the cops are coming after the poets 
they are checking names and records 
and entering accusing words 
while sitting and eating doughnuts
the cops are locking up the poets 
drunkards druggies get rid of the dirt
cops are reading your poetry 
taking aim at you 
and child support 
run run run hahaha

Alcoholics and Druggies Die Every Day

Alcoholics and Druggies die every day
That's the chant.
Their vice is a monster they endure at first, then regret,
Then fully embrace until life just slips away.
Their lives were full of shoulda, coulda, and woulda's
They would get to someday
Which is now irrelevant.

Alcoholics and Druggies die every day.
Doesn't this piquet you in some way?
Have we become that complaisant?

Their vice is a monster they endure at first, then regret,
Then fully embrace until life just slips away.
They were people look at the survey
Their lives weren't insignificant.

Alcoholics and Druggies Die Every Day
They just couldn't break away
From the horrible intoxicant.

Their vice is a monster they endure at first, then regret
Then fully embrace until life just slips away.
I pray
That people will read this and on their mind I can implant
Alcoholics and Druggies die everyday.
Their vice is a monster they endure at first, then regret, 
Then fully embrace until life just slips away.

Downtown In the Summer

A summer's evening stroll
in the downtown.
Tiny flying bugs
maneuver in the wind.
A hobo with one hand
strums a guitar,
his traumas grate against the air
as his style
-the blues-
echoes from his instrument.
Older ladies rush home
their purses clutched tight to their sides.
Knowing the approach of wicked darkness
is near,
and the welfare recipients who wander
the streets perhaps need
extra cash.
Druggies begin to appear.
Their morning,
and day
-hours in which to score a hit-
is others sleeping time.
This is the downtown.
When the summer evening winds down.

A Wing and a Prayer

Lord, bless us with a wing and a prayer,
Guardian angels to shine on Earth down here,
And on all the folk down under, my dears,
Let angels pray for mendicants at charities and welfare,
For druggies and their dealers, somewhere,
For these folk, not much Christmas cheer,
Lord, bless our nations with a wing and a prayer, 
Guardian angels to pray for Peace on Earth this year,
Please guide wise leaders, our buccaneers,
Towards Peace, all of us to steer, 
For all humanity, let angels pray, my dears, 
Lord, bless us with a wing and a prayer.

A Flight To Forget

Steward covered me in coffee, the loos were blocked,
no one can enter, sat with legs crossed.
Plane landed with a bump, not so good.
Was feeling sort of queasy cos of no food.
Electrics were down in the kitchen 
Only drinks served, not a good  idea
when ones bladder is full, no wonder I felt *****.

Went to the luggage bay after the loos,
Was so long in there, not much luggage to choose.
Mine not around so asked at the desk,
Come with me said an official funny feeling in my chest.
You have drugs in your case, yes my medication I replied,
By all accounts one of my drugs the druggies crush
Had a repeat prescription in my purse that saved the day,
will holiday at home in future can't stand this fuss.

A Plea

Some people have all they need
Yet they plot and plan and scheme
Others go chasing rainbows
Pursuing impossible dreams.

Bigots Spout their poison
Racists make raw our nerves
Politicians make promises
Then forget the people they serve.

Burglars ruin many lives
Drug dealers selling crack 
Isn't it time we called time
Demanding our communities back.

Proper sentences for criminals
For perverts Druggies and thieves
Politicians fighting for us for once
responding to our needs .

Play areas for our children
Youth clubs for our kids
Children playing safely
Just like our parents did.

This is not chasing rainbows
Nor are they dreams we cannot achieve
We can make this whole world so much better
If enough of us believe .

Write an email to your senator
Or a letter to your MP
Demand a set of values
That will help society.

Give praise to our teachers 
Our future is in their hands 
The lessons that they teach our kids
Could be the saving grace of man.
