Misused Poems


WHOLLY

People 
Differ
Different 
Region
Religion 
Tribes 
Culture 
Core beliefs 
Nationality.

People 
Support wholly 
People rise
Heart rhythm 
Love is hard
To give and get
Don't misused 
If you dare to find.

Wholly 
Thy Universe 
Made all
Religions 
Cultures and more
God in all for a reason 
Echo echoes back
You resonate to what you align with.

Premium MemberMisused

Inspired by Deep Purple's "Mistreated" 1974

Misused, so misused I have been by you.
I can’t believe by you I was so smitten,
but now I am a poor bedraggled kitten -
one that has been nagged
and then through mud been dragged.

Nagged and pestered,
so bitterness has festered 
inside me, for with my love you toyed,
then you turned around and

Premium MemberAbused and Misused

We learn to skip before we run,
We learn to crawl before we walk.
We often look before we leap
But rarely think before we talk.
Words are our friends and should be cherished as such,
But too many, it seems, don't seem to care very much.
I have pity on poor defenseless words
When we batter, and bludgeon,
And pummel, and trounce

Confused and Misused

Confused and Misused

Further down we did dig deep;
Deeper into  will be our sleep,
Had counted too many sheep;
Except ones not giving a peep.

Poems may be much more possible,
When water appears to be potable,
Down throat more smoothly flowing
And no bacteria in there growing.

Why would anyone ever be eluding,
Poems appearing  to be protruding;
While we continued to

Mishandled and Misused

Mishandled and Misused

Found Trump to be  confounded and confused,
Moron who everyone mishandled and misused;
An incapable parable,
Probably was terrible;
Around  entire world messed with and abused.

Trump Was Big Bird

Each word that we heard will have occurred;
Endured and reassured that it can be cured;
When curtailed;
He  had  failed;
Trump was big bird who allured the absurd.

Island of Misused Toys

They say if you break it,  you bought it, but I’m not yours to own.
You snapped me like a pencil between your fingers in a burst of insecurities, but that was never part of the deal.
Once in science class, we learned that the longer a bond was the easier it was to break, and

Premium MemberI'M Tired of Being Misused

I hate what I'm capable of, If I'm abused 
A precious family wouldn't be dead but alive
Read the sign on me, if I'm to be pursued 
I warn everyone if you misuse me, don't drive

If folk don't handle me with care, ban me now!
I'm tired of people dying because of me
Maybe if one could feel

Misused

My heart was a blank piece of paper
Crisp; clean; untouched
Waiting patiently to be trusted with beautiful words
Written by the warmest hands
Treasured forever like a sweet memory 

But you came along and without permission
You wrote the harshest poetry
Cruel thoughts leaving imperfections
Scratches; scribbles; illegible rambles
Like too thick blankets suffocating me

Sadly I have learned
Few people believe in recycling.

The Word Misused I Am

I am the word 
wrongly
used....misused/ In a 
layman's
terms I've been ill-
treated....abused/ A 
professional
might say I've been 
charged with
serious crimes such as
death....accused/ In 
circumstances
where a word for morally 
corrupt
desires would be placed, 
I've been
placed 
instead....confused/ In
situations and relations 
where
I've been understood and
carefully managed or 
used/ by
managers or users, I've 
left them
smiling some even
laughing....amused/
Some say when they

Abused and Misused

I've been through it so many times
Being hit on, used, and abused
Life is hard enough
Feeling like I've been played with rough
Innocent victim I was
Can't seem to get away
I found myself on my knees having to pray
My strength and dignity was gone
Many times I felt so alone
Looking for a better day
Instead I felt hopeless in everyway
I
