Lemming Poems - Poems about Lemming


The Answer's A lemming

There are those who think the masses
are like a legion of lemmings 
doing a death march into the sea
(actually a river)
but suicidal lemmings are a myth
created by none other than Walt Disney
in Alberta, Canada where
(no lemmings live)
the 1958 film 'White Wilderness' was made
and the sordid scandalous scene
by the filmmakers was staged
spinning turntables were constructed
all covered

I’m as pragmatic as a lemming
The most important day I missed
Stayed in my hole cause it was raining
Didn’t want my destiny to meet
And probably she thought the same
Had mixed me for another one
Who craved to get his lemming fame
Like other lemmings also ran 
Towards the beauties of blue sea
Each tried to keep up with a

Lemming

I never felt I was a fool, always quick to sniff out a scam
or pick out a problematic part of an argument during a debate
I never considered myself a conformist
a fan of music, shows, and movies 
that were twenty or more years out of date
Wearing whatever I wished even though it wasn’t in fashion
I had

Lemming Siren Song


Another sound byte,
the latest alligator lip lie
Patent leather fake promises
being fed to graven idol sick fools
thru an intravenous video tube

And they willingly give Kevorkian consent
to vote for their own suicidal self-interest
Such an anti-global citizen attitude
is lemming leading tools
to the ledge edge of the cliff
Deferentially staring down 
the bottomless 
black hole
of the nuclear abyss

Fresh poll pocket

Naive,
Follow the crowd,
Never question the truth,
One plus one may not equal two,
Cynic.

Lady Lemming

My pen stumbled stammered
and fell
as you fall from the beckoning
cliff of ill fated friendship.

You showed me how the finest verse
is atonal music and the wisest words
of eternity’s pundits and seers
are but fallen chips of a Michelangelo David.

You taught me that Earth
is a spinning potter's wheel
with hands of wind and rain
that gently shape.

Your eyes, the twin

The Lemming Within

There is not time,
Hate runs eternal,
Enraging his soul.

Left to his own devices,
Eager not to fail,
Made his way to his destiny,
Measured steps,
Inside screaming,
Night closing,
Goodbye to fear.

Waiting, hoping,
Instinctive pondering,
Tell tale rivers,
Hasten from his eyes,
Inviting water,
Never see her face again
