Needy Poems

The Great and Needy

All the bold and strong
wilt when left alone,
any African Violet puts them to shame
for such hardy blooms thrive in the shade.

The mighty, the celebrated, need the sun
the very same sun that shines on us all,
they crave the bright light only for themselves,
that is why -

when they find themselves un-illumined,
they may turn into a little Hitler

Chicken Little

Chicken Little

Much like a messenger to mind,
Posed staring down into my face,
I sensed a rooster, brash and bold,
Was challenging my right to breathe.

Thus, in the inkling of an eye
With onset latent bleariness,
The old conundrum, fight or flight,
Was freshly flashing in my head.

This rooster was no idle threat.
Its size, imposing, filled my sky.
Its comb was cocked

Other Way To Help A Needy

This poor man is selling bottled
Mineral water in the park everyday
This he do all his life for a living
One day, a guy feel sorry about the poor man
He decided to help the poor man
The guy wanted to give him money as a help
Instead, the guy bought a three file stocks
Of bottled water and give it

Premium MemberAbandoned Garden

I walked across the sparkling morning dew.
A path where once uncommon beauty grew.
A bench we shared, woeful, lone, and broken, 
echoes a promise that we had spoken.

Our world the moment and so full of love.
Hope flowed freely through soft currents above.
Your gentle hand entwined within my own,
A deeper love no one has ever known.

Romantic dreams

Woe am I to whom your words have torn bits
Out from my heart only to smooth, console	
Until I have again untangled wits.
Needful, I beg you patch this jagged hole
Drilled into my heart by your darkened soul.

Nearly Man

I nearly wrote a song today
I was so close to the edge
I nearly turned the world away
I stood out on a ledge
And I dreamed that some day
Life would recognise me
I’m a dog a wizen stray
And lucky to be free
I nearly won my first game
But second place is okay
Only one person I can blame
For my

 GOD TAKES CARE OF THE BIRDS AS WELL AS HUMANITY NEEDY-
Hear I melodies
Father of Heaven O' God speak to me
Birds of autumn do so dottle
Whispers chirps chanting your love verse
Heaven sounds nature sings
Open up my mind ears Lord
For They caused the cry 
Of the poor to come before him 
So that he heard the

A Star Says Human

"Do you listen? I am a star
       I watch you all, though I am far

For centuries, are in my view
       Whate'er different people do

I know the world with no human
       No religion, race or slogan

Water was blue

Premium MemberThe Heaven Is Still Far Away

Befiore one climbs the ladder to the heaven
One must fulfill one's promise on earth
Glitter the life on earth
Herald a meaningful life
Attend to the needy
Fair to the unfortunates
Treasures on earth are to be shared fairly
Just like the share of a place in the heaven
When you've paid on earth
Sure you'll be free in the heaven
This is what

Premium MemberNeedy Daddy

The children pop out of the cars and head for the school door.
Some parents barely let their feet clear before they drive off.
One or two will give a cherry wave.
One mom always yells “have fun, you brats!”
I never know if she is speaking to them or us teachers.

One daddy makes this dropping off time an

End Times

The world is full of fake friends nothing is real,
Everyday the innocent in jail are denied appeal,
All these humans love doing is to corrupt 'n' steal,
Extolling virtues of veganism with missionary zeal,
Day in day out they are obsessed with pilling weal.

We are in days where people are no longer kind,
And in an era where true

Needy

Never standing standing to be left on your own.
Will there be a time where you can be full grown?
Like all days are past and stand present before,
For a trivial fear of being left alone on the shore.

Setting sail and never looking back,
Such a grande thing; no freedom to lack.
Overburdened with life extinguished,
When a needy greedy
