Grime Poems - Poems about Grime

Proud To Serve

I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell,
But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel—
Not against the mission, not against the fight,
But the brass and the game that fogs up the right.
They say it’s a brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder,
But I see ‘em slicked up, gettin' rank over the bolder.
The ones who dodge grime, fresh-pressed

The Grime of Shoes

The grime of shoes can bring someone a prize,
along with hands that serve orphans and poor.
Examined dust, that walked the narrow way,
disregarding themselves, loved to their core.
But, selfish feet are caked, forevermore,
having poured drinks until the break of day,
can’t make it to one’s bed, sleeping on floor.
The grime of shoes gathers offals and flies.

Grime Under the Tablecloth

Grime under the table cloth

Beneath the fluorescent lights and sterile walls, 
Lurks an undercurrent of unspoken strife. 
The daggers are kept hidden, the words unsaid, 
But the tension is palpable, 
A throbbing wound. 
For all the forced cordiality, 
the animosity seethes underneath.

The Grime Reaper

The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep

His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious heap
From last night’s hard work of collecting souls in the local town sweep

His dry and aching bones creaked from the

Boys

BOYS
Moving, ever still,
Or so it seems, until
You find him
Thinking,
On top a fence,
Up in a tree,
Or grassy hill.

Dirt and grime,
It seems, until a time
You find him 
Washing,
Slick down hair,
Brushing teeth,
For dollar or dime.

Strong and rough,
You’ve had enough,
Then you find him
Helping,
Carrying a bag,
Tender nurse,
When times are tough.

Drowning In Grime

Sinking into the soil of his egocentric ocean
Snarled and sniveled the cephalopod mollusk
Since to be worthy of his charming prey
Sensation beaming from his passion blasting
Suspending her from being aware of drowning
Stunning to sight her lapse into squandering
Sloshing in intense sadness and deceitfulness

My Grimy Grill

My grimy grill,
Is really quite,
Summer’s delight,
And if used right,
Is very much a thrill.

It’s not just meat,
That’s off the hook,
For if you look,
You’ll see I cook,
My veggies over heat.

The greasy grates,
They hold the food,
That will conclude,
With gratitude,
Once I put onto plates.

The fires burn,
On down below,
And cooking slow,
My grilling row,
As I do often turn.

The grease had grown,

Jeopardy of Grime

J-eopardy of grime applies
O-nerous outbreak to tongues; 
Z-one of threat targets the mouths, 
E-ntering into the
L-ungs.

R-isk or jeopardy of grime
E-mploys the dreaded dirt; 
C-hoose to be vigilant, 
C-hoose to be more
A-lert.

C-ontain and combat the link, 
A-ll the way, all the time; 
D-efeat the destructive danger
A-nd jeopardy of
G-rime.
