  pitiful scream 
        sits 
  barely heard;

until the floor burns....

Ain't I pitiful
Wheel me around all day.

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

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....

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

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.

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....

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...

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!...

brighter days

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....

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....
