Petards Poems | Examples


The Loser

The loss: A slap to his face
He’s now been put in his place
   A pandemic let loose
   Cooked his own goose
To the world he is a disgrace

He lived in a house made of cards
Inside it he planted petards
   Believed his own hype
   Blew his own pipe
His support all came from retards

He’s never known such a defeat
His ego no longer in tweet
   Flattened, you see
   By voter decree
Awarded for conceit and deceit

Status and privilege are gone
Ripped from ol’ “Donald John”
   Neither deserved
   Neither preserved
It’s what you give to a “Con”.

Poetry Saved Me

Since born in my body
               my life has been a battlefield
               undermined by petards
               of unequal feelings ...
                 I treat my injuries
               since time immemorial,
               I live in permanent war ...
               I survive because I live  inwardly
                even in the midst of this scenario
               so catastrophic ... live poetry ...
                poetry saved me
               poetry is what gives me
               this peace ...!

Unbearable

Asleep, it seemed, on lonely stretch of beach,
wearing toddler’s clothes, life just out of reach;
wretched photo destined to win many awards
while families assaulted by hatred’s petards,
many villains here caused this sorrowed fate,
pinned by vicious manifestations of human hate.
