A
  pitiful scream 
        sits 
  barely heard;

   Simmering 
     to a boil 
until the floor burns....

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....

So many fish in the sea, 

Yet so many wishes to think, 

Mind is a pitiful scheme, 

Combined with a pit of all things....

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....

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

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

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.

I know a woman in Birmingham
Her marriage is a pitiful sham,
She plays around
She tries new ground,
And gives it up, not giving a damn.

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....

All my feelings

Happy,
Sad, 
Excited,
Glad, 
Joyful,
Cheerful,

Bright,
Sorrowful,
Wistful,

Heedful,
Bemused

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...

     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.

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!...

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

               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...

I
look for
brighter days
on the horizon
no matter the present chaos,
in spite of your pitiful doom and gloom attitude,
I am resolving to maintain a positive attitude about our future world....

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....

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