Mattered Poems - Poems about Mattered

Once, Words Mattered

    As the candidate yammered on 
     His opponent stood his ground

        When the first ran out of time
        In a flash the second chimed ~

    “I’d always thought a man’s

Summer Never Mattered

     Limp from the sweat 
       of a sweltering Summer
     we staggered into Fall
   
     fanned by cooling breezes ~
       Summer never mattered at all

A Darker Thought Mattered

The light promises to fade
As the dark encompass do we try to see
There are doubts we cannot just shake
How shadows only tease for what could be

It is easy with the aid of light
Be it hard truths or comforting lies before our eyes
Harder as with the shade of night
Where once truth will cast doubt as with

His Life Mattered, Part V

...He brother railed at her when they were wed,
‘Uncle Tom, race traitor!”such words were said,
‘Raised by a white man, you’ll mess up your son!”
She just rolled her eyes, and said, “Are you done?”

She had no more time for her brother’s hate,
it impeded with a life that was great,
Keenan had a new dad, and soon sisters

His Life Mattered, Part Iv

..She felt so damn nervous making that call,
and when he picked up she just gushed it all,
he listened quietly, then she asked to meet,
she quickly wrote down the place and the street.

She met him at one of his restaurants,
he looked different now, his eyes didn’t haunt,
he had no gun, just company t-shirt,
but something about him

His Life Mattered, Part Iii

...When her own had run, that man had remained…
they still called him evil, that seemed insane,
when one day her brother came home stained red
all of her concerns would come to a head.

“We got them running, all the damn police!
Ain’t gonna have those bastards on our street!”
Those were the words which her brother did boast,
and deep

His Life Mattered, Part Ii

She screamed  frantically, “My boy is in there!
Somebody, please!  Help Him!”  But nobody cared.
The mob was all running, fleeing the scene,
on her brother’s face the firelight gleamed.

“You have to help Keenan, he’s still inside!”
she bellowed, but then saw there in Drew’s eyes
the shock of cowardice deep in his soul,
he stammered and then

His Life Mattered, Part I

It was back in summer, 2020,
when activists ran ‘round, burning cities,
convinced that they had to destroy their lives
since a thug with similar skin color died.

Amidst the BLM and Antifa
was a young woman known as Jacinta,
only twenty-one, but had a three-year-old;
her passions aroused by what she’d been told.

The police were out there, killing the brothers,
racists were

Life Mattered

Every day and everything,
a constant struggle.
  More than a few missing
pieces to the puzzle.

  A whole lot of baggage,
so much fear.
  I fell apart when you
left me here.

  Face to face,
I was staring.
  At a heart no
longer caring.

  It seems every day
it gets a little worse.
  I wish

You've Always Mattered

By your skin's pigment, I've never judged you,
but by your character I see you through.
Your deep concerns are only a figment;
I've never judged you by your skin's pigment.

We are all descendants from Adam's side,
and we'll continue to be multiplied,
so let brotherly love take transcendence.
From Adam's side, we are all descendants.

God created each cell that forms

Unstable Words

By the beauty of her eyes,
A dumb like me became wise. 
By the beauty of her talk,
My static life started to walk. 

She looks really so pure,
Even my deep wounds are cure.
She looks really so angelic,
Even the nature want her to click.

But... 
A beauty with every beauty,
Is like a fake duty...
She dwells alone,
Deeply hurted and

'it Mattered'

They say it didn't matter
But it rocked your core
You walked on shaky ground
Your feet were in those shoes
So if it rattled you, it mattered

You Never Mattered

You have every right to cry
The world has not been good to you
When you should have been playing
You saw the death of everyone you knew
It did not matter that you were there
No, they never cared about you
A little princess like you never mattered
You were just something in the way
Left to die like everyone else
So go

Nothing Really Mattered

Nothing Really Mattered.
The next time you have a tantrum. 
Or tear your hair out with despair.
And shout at the only one who loves you.
Over something that is neither here, nor there.
When things get so bad you can’t focus.
All that you worked for is on the line.
Understand it’s really hocus pocus.
And everything is going to be

Never Mattered

"Never Mattered"

Folks so hesitant and others far too eager
You either do or don't got a fever
Non or a true believer
In the ever after
Worlds being forever shattered
I always had to be a clever bastard
Got to get it done, can't rely on a benefactor
Had to realize certain things never mattered
Always regardless of the weather pattern
A planet full
