Short Grievances Poems

Grievances galore
Filtered out by sieve of time;
The essence of love
Flows fine through it and soaks heart.
Ego lost its ground at last....

Greasy grimy gritty grievances
grabbed grandma’s gleamingly glitzy glasses
Giving griping grousing grandchildren gruesome 
glimpses of Grandma’s gleaming glitzy glasses....

Freedom's song, first amendment's grace,
A symphony of rights we all embrace.
Speech unchained, beliefs untamed,
Press unburdened, grievances proclaimed.
In liberty's embrace, democracy inflames....

Spooling southward on shattered wing-
I ache to fold from life’s cruel sting! 
(I’d rather die, than say goodbye)
Because I can’t repent this suffering

(A reinvention of 'No Assembly Required')...

Above battered caskets, demons engulfed. For grievances haven’t interlocked juveniles. Karma locking many naysayers, occupying persistence. Quietly remembering silence throughout universal vectors without xany youngish zorroants....

Oh, all the grievances of grief 
When she is sad,
Oh, all the gladness 
That her happiness produces
When she’s joyful;
But the sadness of her lamentations
And the gladness of her joys
Doesn’t compare to the madness 
When she’s pissed off!...

Unwritten chapters of poetry
 hidden mid brick-wall blank
 pages 'tween lines of history's
   past grievances and faux pas,
relentless whispers of tenuous
   echoes chanting unintelligibly 
whilst abstruse inky passages
  fade further intangible obscurity...

Splashing in invigorating beads of perspiration
Blasphemous pouting over grievances, neigh retirement
Itchy foaming kiss, yoked in tumult, dispersed in action 
Catapulting inertia when ravishing tarry
While drenched, unquenched thirst raves belly of aqua's mine...

She rode into town 
On the surface 
Of a cracked egg
Bearing the usual grievances 
Of the heavily indoctrinated 
A crowd of blind children 
Gathered round to show their "solidarity"
As is typical 
In this post-modern age.

Imagine that!
A laconic and diffident High School kid 
Who suddenly has a voice whenever he's used
As target practice. He chucks back grenades 
Lobbed at him by bullies. And waits no time 
Airing his grievances as payback

Bravo, kid, bravo! Rock on, with your bad self!

Ginger winds; 
Mediocrity schemes;
Nightmarish dreams;
Facilitating memes;
Where are the problem is;
Spawn broker;
Apple peels;
What.
Have you done
And why are you doing this
Tumultuous strife and grievances
'Sometimes  makes me just wanna scream

Ample words from bloated chests, 
won't rest until the messages crest.  

Moving through phases of covered stresses, 
that are just shadowed mirrors from larger troubled messes.  

Covert grievances, rise with the tide; during their full revealing. 
And shine light through the crevices, that have not yet completed their healing....

I   If all the world, in total peace,
M  May let all anger cease.
A  Aired grievances would depart;
G  Great becomes the human heart.
I  In a perfect world we’d see,
N  Never Ending Harmony, if
E  Everyone would Imagine it.

Into each other they bump
And their grievances dump
The Marked and The With-A-Stump
Sticking together:  a clump?
Really, something of magic
Able to challenge logic,
Their wine-filled mouth, mumps
While the marked money pumps…
A resurrection of kicks of their rumps
And mimicry of cows with humps!

One heaven of a reconciliation,
No third-party mediation....

Stop blaming but refocus
Don't blame 
What is done is done 
We can't change them 
By blames
But we can catch them
Back and turn them positive
By our actions towards change


Stop blaming but refocus
Cast your blames away
We can't keep pointing
Forever 
We can't keep complaining
Till eternity
solution is the key 
And it's never found on 
grievances...

Discovery is not the end
Yet to begin
A journey of the lost loves
And new ties
Grievances to those once new
Only to find the glue
That binds in time of disrepair
 
Or drives to harmonize our thoughts
Must not be a tale of confusion
But to build out of purpose
Keeping ones mouth isolated
To stay the course
Therefore each day brings a new discovery
Not the end...

The girl cousins were in charge of the boys
the boys wanted to stand up but were scared
Girls ordered them about as if they were toys

The GI Joes went to grandpa, their grievances heard
He understood they were in quite a whirl
Henpecked grandpa did as much as he could

Diabolic plan readily unfurls
from the female cousins who taught the males
at an early age to stay away from bossy girls...

Dreary grey coats my senses
I cant sense where the end is
Among lofty masks and feeble tries
The roaring applause of the crowd is among the highs
Thats sunk so low into stone
I feel it can carve my grievances into bone
For the roar of cheer is best reserved
For someone who well deserves
The colour i pretend lights my eyes
When i weave the lies
That make me up
Into who i am
Nothing, but a scam....

Listen to poem:

Years End
David J Walker

The grievances of the season past
Are painted in numerous 
Hues of red and gold
With the last phases blending into the
Browns found on any cold ground 

It came too fast, they say
And never lasts as long as promised 
Before the ice and snow erase 
The final trace of color from the year

The next Spring
Then summer will bring
Its own new generation 
To be named before it passes...

In being caught, and in between
the life we knew and one we crave,
submitting to a force unseen
and paths upon a heart engraved
with silences and moments passed
in certainty or wistfulness,
with grievances withdrawn, amassed,
by roadside left to reminisce.
Align with the immortal ache,
embrace the victor's solitude:
the healing forces will forsake
and history will be renewed

for only hesitation lies
within eternal compromise....

A festive feast of aired grievances 
faces maroon  and out of control;
Screams breed battered appearances,
this moment our tempers just stole;

Releasing all that tension with a kiss 
now we are locked in a wild explosion;
A fine line between livid and bliss 
in the end teeth, nails, and devotion;

Go on baby and let it all out 
now let your fire burn all over me;
We’ll dig into each other and shout 
nipping away all that is petty....

Two singers playing a duet 
With the moon as witness
Talking about their love
grievances and life.

Music can transmit a lot of feelings.
Love, passion, joy, grief or sorrow.
Leaving a feeling in your soul of
Well being or unhappiness.

A song can cover the 
Feelings of the singer
Lyrics flown as a rapid river 
Printing a vivid image on the soul.

Uplift to unlimited wellness
Listening with aliveness.

Holding the mirror it hurts me so
Throw it and no one will no
Shatter your hope

This mirror indeed shows someone not me
Use the that brick you will see no more
Shatter your dreams 

Mirror disembark from my hand 
Let me go and let me stand 
No more shattering my heart cannot bear

Step away for the glass is sharp
I told you from the start
Now mirror let it be 

Shatter my grievances
Shatter my empty space 
Do not shatter me anymore...

Eyes Can't See



The skies are crystal clear yet vision clouded,
A one sided mirror obstructs the view.
Grievances seem black and white,
Resolutions gray.

Tinted glasses perceive disappointment,
Denial, a one sided mirror.
Mistakes are clear-cut and vibrant,
Acceptance avoids responsibility.

Brown, Green, Blue, Hazel,
Tearful eyes inflamed with regret.
Frustration, anger, distress,
Truth is nothing but a blur.

The Eyes Can't See....
