Yet so many wishes to think, 

Mind is a pitiful scheme, 

Combined with a pit of all things.

I got no legs
Ain't I pitiful
Wheel me around all day.

Boil me an egg
Pancakes, a griddle full
Then watch me worm away.
Form: Lyric

The ego is a tyrannical beggar.
A loud, pitiful, empty-handed turnkey,
Powerless but for charity,
Living in fear of death by discovery.

Oh you pitiful copycat,
fake accounts you’re getting fat;
Polluting my shadow Spam,
you can’t be who I am;
That’s a dead person’s photograph.

In the grasslands lay, Pitiful figure so thin, Awaits the cold rain. There washed in mud and droplets, There, fades to bloom once again.

Stupid

Street people are
Telling you statements of
Untruth regarding you. You are
Pitiful. Yes, yes
Indeed you are outright
Devastatingly dumb.

In This World

In this world you can't survive 
Being weak and pitiful an
Not protecting yourself
In this world you won't survive
If you're too hard core
Heartless and a bully

Scenarios of Barrios

Scenarios of Barrios

What we all saw were many scenarios,
Of urban poor areas known as barrios;
A pitiful sight,
Day and night;
Each one on Sundays to church goes.

Lost Love

Violent despair grip me like an addiction,
love conceals it’s magic.
I stifle the cries of broken heart.
to silence it forever.
bury it, too fearful to hear it again.
Pitiful for wasted love.

Alone

When the night was dark with a storm blowing wild
Why did you blow out the little flickering lamp of my life
Didnt you hear the pitiful wailing of the helpless infant
Abandoned by you, Oh! Mother

Premium Member Poor Pitiful Danny Diver

     Danny Diver is no belly-flopper
     Only this time his dive came a-cropper 

        Danny started out fine
        But he’d drunk too much wine 

      He's motionless in the rescue-copter

Ol’ John Brown sang a pitiful tune He went to his reward all too soon Fought for a good cause Without undue pause And they strung him up at half-past noon.

Homeless In America

O-o say can you see
Where my home used to be?

Is our Congress still there?
Does it float on hot air?

All the homeless at night
Are a pitiful sight

All we have now is Trump
But he won't share his dump!
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member The Cry


I saw a flailing butterfly
beyond hope with wings 
weighted down with water
on the surface of a pond
sending ripples across
the morning to lap 
the shores of the infinite
with its urgent and pitiful cry

The Childless Woman

Sijo 3 

               it’s so pitiful to watch/the childless woman go there
                 with no baby as before/look at the darkening sky
         with tear-filled eyes again on/this starless night of the dead

Girl Up

in the middle of the night, 
i wake.
i see her crying
can tell she's broken,
why mourn!?
pitiful i am
for that skinny guy
chose his way already
why cry!?
remorseful he ain't
his cock crows anytime of day or night.

Premium Member Salvation

a lion pride surround a straggling calf
its pitiful cries are heard -
as a lone bull charges

Go

So pitiful
grasping at the lives we chanced
those who survived
130 thousand forgot
so soon
pompous buffoon
Boris Johnson will not isolate after Covid case among staff
news just 23 hours ago
humanity
just how low will we

The Great Wall of China

Chinese slaves place their stones,
Breaking muscles and bones.
Defending its territory,
It shines in pitiful glory.
Yet this wall stands tall,
To defend those whom befall.
Those dark days have passed,
And now united at last.

Players

Funny how she thinks,
She is the gold,
And oh, how it glitters.

Pitiful how he sees her,
Just like a new toy,
For his fantasies and pleasure.

Because some boys are players,
And girls are the games,
And the fun never ends.

Premium Member Show-Off

Once there was a pitiful young dandy from Dubuque
Who behaved like a complete socially inept kook
Would exhibit his largest asset
In an inappropriate basket
It was enough to make a less endowed person puke!

                         Summer Winds

Amidst strong winds, John was treading the road
Carrying on his back a heavy load,
It was a pitiful sight 
To brave the wind in such plight:
When load fell down, it showed a bag of toads!
