Short Outdated Poems

I'm under rated
About me a lot is said
I'm so outdated...

strange bony face
growing from his
outdated suit
warmly odd...

Date him!Your grumpy boyfriend
The outdated one...

the see-through floor
and the skeleton walls

I will have
almost
arrived,
 when the infinite
is felt
 adjacent
 to me...
I will be
yet
distant
 when
have only
outdated
my
Limits...!...

I caught a glimpse of myself in the sideview mirror.
my eyes replaced by two large black buttons,
similar to the ones on my Fathers' outdated overcoat....

Back in my days,
there was an often heard phrase,
but these days it is not very popular.
The phrase I refer to,
that mainly my generation can relate to,
is, "I wish I had a camera."...

I can see myself
Outside my window
I'm not the bird on the wire
But the pole on which the wire is strung
With a hundred other cables cut and hung
Limp and spent
Outdated and irrelevant...

The story of my life is wild;
New interests suddenly sprout 
outdated habits get tossed out;
Focus sharpens as the years pass
 led by an internal compass; 
Connected to that inner child,...

Nuclear missiles
  as outdated as whistles

Hypersonic jets
  don't scare my pets

Multiple warheads
  won't knock you dead

The winner of my weaponry race
  two loving arms take first place...

I am alone in this wolflike world
Holding, grasping, hoping, praying
My life's worth immeasurable to me
Yet alas my notions are considered quaint
Outdated if you must, 
Yet is there a time limit on values?...

Reading it
Mesmerised by it
Leaves me speechless
The scarcity of it

Time is imperative
Seeking is essential 
Routine is outdated
Receiving is strategized

Knowing it
Speculating about it
Leaves me honoured
It is priceless...

SILHOUETTES

Shadows
In the moonlight,
Liaisons, 
Holding hostage
Outdated dreams.
Ugly contours
Etched upon a heart.
Tortured thoughts
Trampling the
Emptiness of
Soul.

Old
not outdated 
germ
still in the wheat

Not as fast
as I was
 
Faster
than I will 
ever be

Mind 
over matter
horse
pulling the cart

Intention
still deadly

Blade
forever
sharp

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

You are a ray of light that caresses my soul…
You stir my might each day releasing things outdated…
You love me in a way that is right with purity…
You shall forever stay with me goddess of delight...
My friend, my lover, my ray of light…...

Part of the Unemployed

What if I were to be paranoid
Of some things is there a void
Or maybe what I stipulated
By now has become outdated
I am now part of the unemployed.

neglected
        once lamented
now graffiti
          scrawled:
faded respectability
of
   yesteryear and
outdated
            taste:
now.  
     litter-strewn,
dusty
        cold & musty
sepia like
in the late
       Autumn 
                   sun...

Why Would White Supremacists

Why should white supremacists be emulated;
We have hesitated and then been humiliated;
Many feelings hurt;
Did treat like dirt;
So must remove each statue that is outdated.

change to what end,
we must not pretend.
things are different now,
though why I'm not sure
that I exactly know how.
we talk 
we discuss
friends are more valuable now
than just a faded lust.
loves poems, overrated
secrecy , outdated
thus, take life in strides
with a renewed sense of pride....

A land of the free only if you have money
Murdering unborn illegal not gun slaying
Evolution restricted by outdated constitution
Republicans democrats so seldom unified
In God we trust but it evil that resides now
Crime only pays if hide your looted money
A country for dreamers now of nightmare...

The world may think PEACE is overrated,
the absence of it makes life feel outdated,
Some of us need controversy and dissension
to feel alive,
with PEACE our souls would really thrive,
We don't know what we are missing
if we've never experienced its splendor,
To its quiet and harmony we would surely surrender....

Back during World War 11 -
written on the backs of envelopes
NORWICH
reveals our parent’s were quite, naughty too.
In a roundabout way, saying,“Get ready to screw”-
I never had a clue; Mum knew
“kNickers Off Ready When I Come Home”. 
I thought NORWICH- was where Dad was located. 
Handy ACRONYM  sadly outdated...

Told Me I Was Old

They told Me I Was Old and outdated;
Had heard this and became humiliated;
Skin was worn;
Grey hair born;
God in heaven for me still had waited.

Jim Horn

Nice to know God knows how not to 
give up. Now if He can teach us the 
same trick.

4997. Almost there. Keep encouraging 
me on....

Out of kilter and out of time,
Born in the 40's and now in his prime,
Saddened by a world that's passed him by,
Outdated, outmoded and now not so spry,
Looking for comfort but there's none to be had,
Evenings are spent all alone in his 'pad',
Talking to walls that don't answer back,
Eyes, once so lively, now fade to black....

Lack of sense abundant

Common sense reluctant

A ship of fools obeying rules

Outdated and redundant

Division of the classes

Controlling all the masses

Creating slaves unto their graves

Unchanging as time passes

A simple evolution

A unified solution

An active stance our only chance

Let's start the revolution...
