Pity the Shovel that Buries the Earth
Beneath a callused skin of light the hunched and mustered clap a prayer between a leaking sight. It is the earth that mourns itself, whether baldly thrown or loamy laid the silent soil repaints its sullied shrouds far beyond any atoning sorrow, or cooling heart. It is none but a laboring pity to lay down the past as deep as a weeping sky allows or raise...

Waiting
I’m lying here In my broken bed That’s caving in Under my nothingness Waiting (not patiently) For my pregnant brain To quiet down Waiting for the Swishing sound Between my ears To finally cease Waiting for your light snoring To begin, so that mine Can take over Waiting in my broken bed That’s caving in Under my nothingness But I’m not alone You are there On your side Of the caved...

Not just for a balm
He carries a wound that festers with smell, He fears within it, bad germs might dwell. Since losing his folks, he’s lost everything; Each morning, he wonders what life will bring. Each coin that he grasps, he holds with great care, For hunger and pain both watch him in fear. He eats little and soothes his pain with balm, His survival depends...

Premium Member Written in Wasted Pity
I pity the refugee’s road of flight, the children of the shanty and the gun who on all humanity are a blight - who die or live unto be an orphan. I pity the meagre, the forgotten who a crisis of ravages endure, whose fate is that of the misbegotten and whose need...

Pity More Apt
I’m tired of people slinging hash and calling it Haute Cuisine The Emperor naked behind the mirror where truth still reigns supreme Waiting for accolades pity more apt so they again can void Leaving their excrement out on display — only the rats to enjoy (The New Room: March, 2024) ...

Unraveling
Do tell, when seen, the sight of answers The ones that are sought deep within. Away now, dig graves deeper Unearth the bones, the memories of pain therein. Make use of scraps and stains placed in heart The ones they chose not to see. The ones that were once torn pieces apart The ones that were shunned e’er so lightly. Then write...

Pity those who have never been hungry
Hungry cricketers score more runs and take more wickets, Hungry Doctors tend to make new medical breakthroughs' Hungry children produce less waste, Hungry people are more likely to come in out of the cold and join the fold, Hungry worms make for better soil. A hunger for friends as children mostly produces smart adults, A hunger for bread forces more to...

Premium Member Feeling Rough
Like a dog With a sandpaper throat A cough like a bark And the mood of a scrote Just tossing and turning With no comfortable spot A nose like a tap Simply dripping with snot I sweat like a pig Whatever that means And I fart like I live On a diet of beans I don't mean to be crude But I don't really care Keep your sympathy close With...

I Do Pity You
Have you never shared the seductive charms of a cool spring night under moons full glare Folded in the warmth of a lover’s arms basking in fire light as bold passions flare Or felt the coolness of newly turned soil, had the smell of fresh mown hay in your nose Felt your imagination start to boil; when feeling...

Premium Member Perhaps This Is a Self Pity Cycle
There's empty space sometimes Pressing refresh to see if there's a message Looking at the person occupying the same house but a million miles away I'm not sure how I cross the space I try but I feel uninvited I'll consider whether that is just my innate position - feeling uninvited - You know it is. Was. Is still there. 'Maybe I'm not wanted'...

Premium Member The Pity of Things
Part of me says stay small, part go big Part says eat your fill, part don’t pig Kenko says: long life brings many shames I say the gray sky brings winter, no blame The impassable mountains we revere Moderate the force of wind and water Get the cement truck into the refrigerator We shall honor all of life sooner or later Anything can...

I Pity Them
There is always the earth making its treats The splendour that rises spreading all around The wind plays with the light and I hear the birds The small rivulet adjoins the ready river Today I began anew I drink my nectars blazing over with awe it is 4AM where the devils and angels jockey each other for Ascendancy I pity them Hexagonal snowflakes pour over me I am in a quandary I...

Premium Member What a Pity
I am amazed, as in dismayed Reading scriptures asking us to fear The wrath of God, shame and sin Making real illusion of Satan and hell When in truth God dwells within We’ve been granted human experience Allowed at soul level some free will Are here to love and music co-create In resonance with universal mind Rapture of bliss that does not abate Fear,...
