Pessimism Poems - Poems about Pessimism

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...

I walked along route 58 There was Mumbai dreams and Harbor Freight A hippie guy sold sunglasses from a stall One had a rosy tint, I paid 5 dollars, that was all. There was a warning label with it, I threw it away Who needs all the fine print, what could it possibly say? I looked at the traffic, it was...

In August when the days are hot, nights are cool, men are shot; fooling with another's wife too many men cut with knife. Walk a street some evening time is late and no one's there even moonlight stays away even stars no longer stare no one sees what happens then when night is finally here darkness is, to good, no friend. it brings us instant fear something...

A man has been divinely blessed With comfort and riches beyond his thoughts’ control But is there any point in all this If nobody will share his smiles, if any at all? The moment he pulled his curtains to one side, His room was on one side, and the world was on one side He shares pieces of himself to people...

If the darkness fails to engulf you, the light will. When the chaos can not drown your thoughts, the silence will. If the hatred refuse to make your scars bleed, The adoration can not heal. Yet if Life fails to make you understand, the void in which we live, Give Death a chance for what you want to...

It's a new year, Yet the sun still rises east, It's only the first of January I’m but a day older from the last year, Nothings’ changed in the way I’m seen, Tears still decide to fall by themselves, I’m still watching from a distance, The willpower must only get stronger, for the temptation still stays The plastic smiles are starting to fail...

The sheer maintenance of the probability, Nothing is comparable to our garrulous mendacity. Nothing can be called a consummate pattern, Except for any tremendous aching, this life would only be a fallacious earn. You are just an archetypal passer-by without any aim, You want to play an unwarranted game. Your loudest silence is another offence, In this horrifying reality, you are nothing...

Why takes place terrorism? Is it due to lack of optimism? Or do devils do tricky hypnotism? It surely cripples enthusiasm Tigers and lions kill for food Otherwise, no killing mood Hunger makes them rude But, man is badly crude By man religion is invented And peace is by him prevented Fellow men are cruelly hunted His brain is by ferocity blunted Without seeing holy God He rules...

Never imagine that you may lose Instead highly positively you muse Doubts and worries are of no use Only optimism, you always choose During confusion, take no decision Out of fear, stop not your mission Approach life with proper for vision Never give to pessimism permission When you think you cannot achieve No success at all you will receive This may make you sadly grieve As...

An optimist lives inside me…walks beside me his glasses are rose colored…his outlook… a little sun-kissed. Unfortunately there’s more…for living right next door inside me…his neighbor…the pessimist. Whatever my condition…they jockey for position one's outlook is gloomy…the other’s…is quite glorious and I never can say…at the end of the day which one will end up victorious… The optimist, once unfurled,…sees before him a beautiful...

The ancient times, Buried the Genesis Of today's psyches, Recycled but deformed, Stale and stinking- Evolutionary idioms? The visual décor And the packaging Of rotten, Oh no, The heaven Ruined with the billowing smokes, Hiding the power of Sun, Drumming the catastrophe....

Down with pessimism Drown not in negativism Beware of escapism Steer clear of cynicism Keep far from fanaticism It only invites antagonism Too lonely is monasticism Too stifling, collectivism Failure dogs perfectionism Emptiness mars materialism Insularity deadens catechism Stoicism breeds fatalism... True, this poem is full of criticism ~ But it ends on a...

I once had an office job sitting next to Miss Sunshine day in and day out. She and her 7th Day Adventist Jesus were always so positive and jolly about everything, it was hard not to smack her. One day with syrupy sweet intonation she asked why I was so cynical and wasn't I an unhappy...

Time and fate have mocked us all, be we great or be we small. The same temptations Jesus thwarted the Church, I fear, has ofttimes courted. Luther preached before the throne: "The just shall live by faith alone." Yet ""freedom" in a peasant's ears filled great lords with dread and fears. "Workers, unite!" was Karl Marx's plea. The aftermath is plain to see. A...
