Malcontent Poems

A Theme Song For The Malcontent

A jukebox ending the silence 
masks the dialogue in your mind;
That beat’s a saving grace,
with a chorus left on repeat;

Guitars that are louder than hell
are fresh air that open those lungs;
Finally you exhale,
the sound explodes into a storm;

Snarling they call it an anthem,
put your money where your mouth is!
Sometimes it is joined noise.
Either way? It

Malcontent

MALCONTENT

Dressed in the rags of time and places
He signifies in loud incoherent phrases
With bluff and blunder
Talks a storm
Sings as thunder
Scaring tourists and their children
From tame towns that have no Zen
With once dull eyes they come
and see just another homeless bum
Believing their lives are the ‘only’ way
They lie to self wishing they
Could also speak the magic

The Malcontent

Fate rewarded some who came, 
Daily problems quickly solved. 
Wisdom thrived in their domain, 
Joyful as their lives evolved. 

You distorted what you saw, 
Public minutes, private years. 
Never witness to the flaws, 
Hidden turmoil, muted tears. 

Eyes, reflecting wrong side up, 
Squint through nickelodeans. 
Brilliant microscopic dust
Floating through what might have been. 

All delusions

Parable of Wretched Malcontent

Not content with just penurious loaves
Wretched pauper for richer diet strove
Seeking treasure from a wealthier trove
Delicate crumbs from hearty stoves;
Pungent fruit from well-stocked groves

Poached sustenance frail body did gladly receive
Yet of better fare covetous mind did conceive
Then with guile from gullible hearts  lucrative profits deceive
'Til stitched threads a fine, seamless tapestry did weave

O'er time

Love Malcontent

My love for you is a creature, a solid breathing 
Entity, a mangled creation of shadow-black flesh 
And the thread-like interwoven muscles of my 
Bleeding excuses…
The paltry reasons I put up with your countless 
Slights, insults, depravities, are its backbone, 
The eyes are mere sockets, the hollowed out orbs 
Where my intuition has failed…
My love

The Heart's Malcontent Eye

Secluded mind murder
Windows are false inside here
I find here,deep inside here...i don't find myself hoping for peace
These clouds of despair that blind the battlefield have a dark appeal

My naked eyes see nothing
The cheerful souls have perished...the beautiful people have all withered away
This Old Age prophecy must be

This is A Bleak life...led by the paragraphs of

Malcontent (Standing Strong)

The people march with natural
authority to elevate noble causes
of fairness and human
dignity; the cries ring out,
echoing off the pillars and
the planks.

Already, a proud majority
stands ready to unite all the
tribes of the world, not through
deception or coercion, but
with understanding and
compassion for life.

Masked and cloaked in black, the
storm-troopers fulfill the
mandates of the owners,
snarling with menace as they
scatter

Twisted Flowers of Malcontent

The autumn leaves fell from amber skies
And the wind it blew from a mystical place.
But when I spit to the ground; the wind blew it around;
And now it hangs here in my face.

We walked through the garden of roses and daisies;
Reeling in the luster of loves after glow;
When she stooped down to smell; not everything
