we notice ego discontent
with the way things are
it has nothing to do with us of course
Self shines like a bright star

winter of our discontent

I am quotes cut short;
Express thoughts different from
Scars of paperbacks. 
I am ignored, unspoken—
Leave my wounds open for thoughts.

my sister turned light chartreuse

after hearing on the news

the end is quite near

a blizzard all year

so we recommend snowshoes.

rumbling discontent
suppressed passion seeking air
steaming stained tears
evolution’s resurgent
blossomed introspection

envy
brings discontent
tracts surface
lines are drawn
said,then
coloured red...
spread on the sand,then
slowly dwindle
on the incoming
tide of time

While they all do often roam
Is fence outside silver dome;
We learned what they meant
By hour of there discontent.

Discontent

Discontent seems to be steel grey
It mocks with a heartless laugh
It tastes like bitter tears
Discontent looks like a movie theater going up in flames
I feel tired.

The Moment Hostage

The past cried out a dire warning
  unlocking you from the moment

“History rules, the die is cast
  —the future of your discontent”

Showing many of us cast member he was simply not the guy

I Imagine

I imagine Death as an enterprise of magnificence. The aroma of Life is as bitter as Lust but as delicious as woman. To me myself I am oh so great but discontent to both time and God.

Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings Poetry Contest

Physical exhilaration drowns
bony aches,
emotional pain,
intellectual angst,
social discontent,
psychological drama,
hunger pangs.
Untethered my soul soars
thus my heart sings.

In a Poor State

In harmless joy spent
Her eyes showed no fright
She became discontent
Her heart felt the sadness bite.

From the start she was of ill health
In life she struggled without wealth.

Premium Member The Age of Social Distancing

The age of social distancing, rife with existential angst and discontent.
People with cabin fever break quarantine, take to the streets to vent.

Sewing the Seeds of Discontent

Perhaps a magic beanstalk would appear! 
I grinned and potted up the seeds;
I'd raid the giant's castle, drink his beer...
but by the dawn, I'd grown more weeds.

Premium Member Living Light

Our
yearning
to expand
has origins
in our memory,
remembering our soul,
as one with God-consciousness.
Thus, feeling discontent, we strive
to become once again, living light.

I Am of a Terrible Nature

i am 
of a 
terrible nature
callous
unforgiving
never satisfied
i am 
of a 
terrible nature
discontent
unruly
an idealist
i am 
of a 
terrible nature
the world
cannot exist
without me

Premium Member My Heart's Discontent

So what
About now
Can you see 
Me somehow
Slaving away
At pen on page
Writing my heart’s
Discontent
Lament,
Lament for me
That one day
I will be free
But probably 
I’ll just write
For an eternity

Clandestinus

Did they dare you to be
what you already were
Your profile kept hidden
unshaken or stirred
To wander in your 
unbroken discontent
A path that lies hidden
—by unspoken words

Don’t forget the insect repellent

Mosquitoes can cause such discontent

     These bugs make me itch

     Watch me swat and twitch

The cost of “Off” is money well spent

Advice of the Doomed

Only mince words for society’s detriment.
Mollycoddle youth for the future’s corruption.
Beware of using political correction,
society’s wormwood; overdose for descent. 
Today’s apocalypse is due to discontent.

Imperfect Perfection

Helmet of Love,
Gloves of Apprehension,
Breastplate of Morality,
Sword of discontent,

We as a people are prepared for the worst,
But unprepared for the best,
Percieved as perfect,
But we, Perfectly flawed...

An Odd Taste of Lament

I was induced,
At your feet
Hooded look in those hues,
In this slow risqué beat.

Flickering lights,
Fills your low whimpers of discontent
Most are still up for drinks,
While we share an odd taste of lament...
