Dysfunctional

rubble of social dysfunction
spilled from the lip of time
shards of humanity’s decay
sleep in layered mounds
beneath eternity’s cold moraine

Dysfunctional Approach

using a 
dysfunctional 
malfunctioning
defective 
approach
at compromise 
is like trying to
fit a misshapen
puzzle piece into 
the wrong place 
within the bigger 
picture

My Attic Family

My attic family causes me pains,
their green and dysfunctional once again,
sinus traffic,
eviction status,
hopefully they'll move out by this weekend.

Dysfunctional is Destructive and Destructive is Dysfunctional. But, what else can one expect in a world where it may be alright to be different, but may not be alright to be too different!


Newest oldest modern quagmire

the merely bourgeois, so-called collective Western world:

dysfunctional political economy, broken system w/ a

population neither able to solve the problem, nor willing to solve it.

 I guess the definition of a lunatic is a man surrounded by them. 
~ Ezra Pound

Phanopoeia can see
what Melopoeia hears,
but Logopoeia has no idea
What hell Hades has going on!

 A family may be dysfunctional, when push comes to shove, they protect each other.

Divorce

Divorce
Dysfunctional to stay
Damage to the children
Demonstrates bad marriage
Destroying their chances
Discovering real love
Don't stay for the children
Display two happy lives

Dysfunctional Talk

I said A
You understood B
I said A
You thought maybe B
I said A
You said must be B

I looked in your eyes
You took my hand
I wondered why?
You said ‘cause I know
You can’t read my mind
You should read my heart.

They will always envy for what you have finally found.
They will always forget whether you've been around.
The one who ever truly has always loved you, is you.
Though the only truth I know, is you all had once loved me, too.

Come What May

God banished from the Garden of Eden,
Adam and Eve after the fruit eating,
now we deal with thorns and thistles,
dysfunctional sin issues,
throughout our hectic life,
He is our peace pipe,
please don't delay,
come what may,
He says,
pray.

and an 11 year old

Welcome To My Family

1/2 the family is drunk from 9-12
one 1/4 is either out or passed out in his bed
and the other 1/4 has no idea what is going on and is just as passive as can be

Premium Member She Is the Child Molester Killer

She is the child molester killer
Enters dysfunctional homes
Makes fast work of it

Takes her victims to her lair
To redeem and revitalize
They have been hurt too

Revamping the children’s memories
so they no longer relive or remember the abuse
Cleaning up the world one molester at a time

Quietly Dysfunctional

Mother did not bake apple pies,
but she drank strong cider,
which baked her brains.

Dad had a sharp tongue,
he picked his teeth
with its forked tip.

We were a one child family,
there was a miscarriage.
I recall we butchered the stork.

Mother roasted it,
for us all

that Christmas.

Premium Member Words

words lacking compassion - love - kindness - encouragement - or optimism are words only silence should suffer - endure - swallow - dissolve - or sustain for such words are dysfunctional and powerful enough to coat lives with false paint

Burned

Rising from the ashes after being burned 
Scorched by magma induced words 
Lit on fire by flammable hatred 
Torment from envy causing hyperventilation 
My love, how could you be so toxic?
Fumes from your violent attack spread throughout the air
Polluting complete strangers unaware of our dysfunctional relationship

DENIAL

Premium Member Dysfunctional Family

The wind whipped the tree Contained hive of bees Resiliency unfolded Inside hollow heart Lessons learned an art In the crushed heart, they're molded Hunger and pain reigned Relationships strained A child had to take the lead To meet their desires While inside hope fires Became successful indeed

She Is a Conduit of Love

over joyed by the
imminent alignments
of wondrous insights
completion of this enormous
cycle of transmuted energy
she is a conduit of love
incongruent feelings
harnessed affections
burning in orange flames
pre ordained divine consorts
dysfunctional blood lines
purging pure vesels
she is a conduit of love

Peace By Ikea

My muse had a good idea,
Let's flood the world with Ikea!
Dysfunctional kits, there and here,
For guns and bombs,
No one would care,
They would be assembling Ikea,
Each kit, four missing bits,
Wrong pictures to give them the blip,
Globally occupied with dysfunctional Ikea,
Now isn't this a good idea,
Peace on Earth brought by Ikea?

Premium Member Race Does Not Exist (Genetically Speaking)

All of our family roots can genetically
be traced back to just one woman who lived at the dawn of humanity.
All people of earth are descendants of she.
All in all, we're all just one big dysfunctional planetary family.
L I T E R A L L Y.
All of this has been scientifically proved.
We are all for the most part cousins, many generations removed.

Broken Tree

A dysfunctional child covered in mud
If her mamma didn't clean her do you think a stranger would?
dirty looks and filthy nails
gossips, rumours and funny tales
labels that stick and wont wash off
she is a tree with a damaged root
she grows no flowers
she grows no fruit
Broken trees can’t grow wings
This little girl resorted to other things

Epitaph For the Dysfunctional --- Life of John Doe

Here lie the Limericks of John Doe, duly interred
For the poet wrote "The dysfunctional $@& life.." and erred
Using innuendo
Totally intendo
Behold!  Promptly the Admin's righteous wrath was incurred!

The Limericks I agree were crude
Not at all meant  for the prude
The title had this warning
But by the very next morning
The Admin had them promptly removed!

Ghosts

We are the first dead in this house
Books in dysfunctional piles; debris,
Tins of old paint in the garage,
Airtight as the finish on bedroom doors.
A density of standing air,solemn
With the austerity of dried cornflowers.
Sour margarine on thin grey bread,
Old gruel of past weekdays, gone;
Children`s laughter in a bottle,
Too late, too cold, now not part of it.
