Helplessness Poems

Things

Things, I want things,
Give me things,
Here is a ring,
Let us accumulate things,
And compare are things to their things,
They are evil,
Their things do not compare to our things,
There was a man who taught us love,
But we killed him with a thing,
And when he rose,
Instead of rising like him?
We built things, to fly through the sky,
Things, I

The Court of injustice

                                            40 years passed
        

Suicide

Scared To Reach Out 
Unworthy of love
Influenced By Pain
Confused And Hurt
Impulsive For That Rush
Destructive To life
Empty.

In a Room with a Roof

The sky outside is bright and clear,
Yet my heart is shrouded with tears.
Sunlight bathes the distant houses,
While smog blankets my soul.
I should cherish such rare sunny days,
But I'm trapped in this small room, afraid to stray.
Looking into the mirror—I see:
Unwashed hair,
Puffy eyes,
A sallow face with a bitter smile,
And stacked high on my desk a pile

we are the God that we've been waiting for

In August when the days are hot,
nights are cool, men are shot;
fooling with another's wife
too many men cut with knife.

Walk a street some evening
time is late and no one's there
even moonlight stays away
even stars no longer stare

no one sees what happens then
when night is finally here
darkness is, to good, no friend.
it brings us instant fear

something

Whatever, this was dumb anyway

Always messing up
When I feel so upset
Going all in way too hard
To lose another stupid bet

Losing all my hard earned money
Yet again I am robbed blind
At this point it’s all quite funny
I have no more strength to mind

Bet it all on my bad choices
I will give in to my voices
I’ll sit back and have a

I’M TIRED TOO

Every time you slammed the door 
Every time you dropped the call 
Every time you yell at me through and through 
I get tired too. 

Every time you passed before me 
Every time complaints ring upon me 
Every time murmurs being me 
I get tired too. 

Am I your emotions punching bag? 
Am I your

To my sister

saw you tonight with a black and blue eye
and I felt like a coward not hitting your guy
you suffer abuse while all I gots a clue of what it can do to you
and what it feels like
to be alone with nobody to help
their only voices trying to tell you their good advice
like they good at

The fiat

                                          Another day gone
          

When You Can't Help

Tears fall, silent rain,
Heart aches to heal unseen wounds.
Hands reach, touch the void,
In the dance of shadowed dreams,
Love whispers, yet remains bound.

Driven Fate

Wind, the Barber,
   shears the trees
   decisively
with naught but
   his own  Fall design
   in mind,
Refusing imaged   glass
   for his reluctant clientele,
insisting    they trust
   his ancient  artistry,
Born of  a driven 
   fate again
 

Insanity

Insanity

Fear, pain and thoughts of going insane by the despair that surrounds you as you grasp for a glimmer of light. It calls out your name again and again in hopes that your soul can be drawn back in. Insanity engulfs your brain as once again the needle enters the vein. You convince yourself there

Helplessness

the king travelled incognito
mixing among the commoners
both delighted and also envious
of how they find joy in simple things
content even in poverty and shortages 
and then the king discovered their secret

they were all centred in heart
and not in narrowness of mind

even after garnering this deep knowing
the king was unable to become as such 
for he was

Muffled Screams of Helplessness

the all-consuming dread
beneath a veneer
of equanimity, 
impenetrable
by eyes of keen observers.
by all appearances,
all is copacetic,
but under his smiling mask, 
unmitigated disarray.
a cauldron of caged anguish
simmer
without boiling over.
his screams of helplessness,
muffled;
registering below
a whisper.
he's at his wit's end;
a beast of burden
with his world of troubles
sagging d
           

Helplessness

with torn coats, they work 
the poor of our rich nation ---
resigned to the fate
