Lowlifes Poems | Examples


Premium MemberA Gentleman's Airs

To qualify as an educated gent
    to certain boarding-schools one must be sent
  To learn how to position one's fork and knife
    and raise one's pinkie, unlike lowlifes  

  A gent speaks with an air of charm and grace
    his nose gradually rising on his face
  Savaging the ways of 'today's barbaric youth' 
    while knocking down shots of gin and vermouth    

  Such gents betimes depart fine society
    exposing themselves ~ targets of impropriety

Its now to question 
It's now to dicuss
It's now deny
Any hold over us
By the spawn of
The unconscionable 
The dregs of the dregs
The descendants of 
Misfits septic as pus
Unacceptable beings
Being devoid of true
Soul, lovers of gloom
Who live as in  holes
Like spiders in Webs
They only can kill
If their dens are not
Cleaned out; nows
No time to be still
It's time to be active
Spread the news all
Around , their agendas
Have lost it, Humanity 
Is taking back ground.'

Premium MemberSmall Town Mentality

She was a pretty girl with long brown hair
But I just didn't want to settle down
I was honest with her because I care 
Went to meet her for the last time in town.

With teary eyes she said that she loved me
All she wanted was to be by my side
Told her gently I wanted to be free
She went home and committed suicide.

The gossip mill turned said I was to blame
Why couldn't it have been me that had died
They expected me to bow down in shame
And would ask why I hadn't even cried. 

Then some lowlifes tried to burn my house down 
That was enough; I packed up and left town.

Who Is Your Neighbor

WHO IS YOUR NEIGHBOR

Forty feet high and circumference of six feet, my neighbor is a massive Saguaro cactus 
It can be a source of sorrow or safety to wild creatures running in blackness 

Probably hundred years old and stands all day in the hot sun unable to run  
Sometimes a neighborhood gang of lowlifes will drive by and use it for target fun 

It has two arms and stands close enough to its partner that they are hugging
My neighbor is surrounded by many cousins who are jealous of its majestic flowers budding

It starts out as little seedling protected by a nurse tree and now by governments  
My neighbor is so popular around here that his cousins are used for yard ornaments 

Unfortunately this neighbor is sick from all the exhaust fumes coming from the passing cars
I am happy to claim this green giant as my closest, quietest neighbor so far

Social Media

Revealing my nakedness
Showing everyone my business
Somehow I'm still faceless
Like a book with blank pages
Might as well be talking from my anus
Hey miss!
I think you dropped this
She don't bother with lowlifes
Because she's socially famous 
I should've just stayed secluded
In all my rhyming strangeness

The Spanish Scoop

A town in Spain had had enough
With dog poop in the parks.
The owners would be punished
For their pets who left their marks.

So volunteers with eagle eyes
Approached offending walkers,
Without revealing that they worked
As pooper-scooper stalkers.

With friendly chitchat they found out
The puppy’s name and breed;
To ascertain addresses,
Those were all the facts they’d need.

Then when the master walked away,
That poop was scooped and boxed
And mailed right to the owner,
Who was soon to be outfoxed.

The parcels, labeled “lost and found”
Bore an official seal.
Recipients had no idea
Just what they would reveal.

I wish I could have seen the look
On every owner’s face
When he or she discovered
Such a pedigreed disgrace.

So hats off to the Spanish
As these lowlifes they pursue,
Giving every city sullier
A gift of doggie doo!

Taxed To Live Uk

They Take from us , what we work hard to get
they give it to bums , who wont break a sweat
claiming poverty , they don't even try
No wonder this country is running dry
why do we pay , for there drink and there drugs
or women with 10 kids 3 cats and 4 dugs

taxes for that , taxes for this
that guy don't work or have any kids
big old house , real fancy car
he claims benefits cause he slipped in a bar
"i don't even work , I'm in to much pain
I'll just take your money and none of the blame"
cause our government , lets this happen , and thats ok 
we work hard and hand the bums our pay

cause society sucks , and this is for real
the rich get richer and the lowlifes steal
from the middle class, guys like us
were used to it , no need to fuss
so back to work tomorrow we go.....
watch politicians plead poverty , while there bank books grow

i wonder how quick , society would change
if i took over and held the reigns
I'd tax them as much as i could
freeze there wage for as long as it took
get this country off its knees , then let us workers live tax free
maybe thats too harsh , for some of you
but just remember , this is my view.

Who Wears the Trousers

When out with friends			  she laughs with her friends
He is loud, impossible to ignore	                 tells them how to bark the dog down
He jeers at females, lowlifes!		                 Till he cooks, cleans and irons
He calls them useless	                                 at her every beck and call
He pushes the bar girls around		  she makes him do all that
And his peers admire him 			  her peers ask her how	
He is the ultimate alpha		                   she learnt how to roar like a lion
