They have not a place to stay 
Sitting there, starving, all day
It causes me to bemoan:
The fact that they’re all alone

A Mormon in search of his god
Took an hike where the Saints had trod
When he went lame
The angels came
Preaching, "Nike shoes are for Nod!"

Was accosted by Les Dicker
She sighed, "I'm so glad
That you'll be its dad
As Sam was quite a bit quicker!"

I’ve dug this hole too deep,
Laying here, and all I can do is weep.
Soothing sympathy is a rare thing for me
As I cry tears of sorrow and empathy.

Men Cruelty Beasts Pity

The man invested in  total falsehood
killing without mercy, cruel insanity
the informal beasts have further pity
they only kill to eat as a simple mood

Pity

The pity you see in their eyes
You remember
When you were an active member
In society
In this family

Spot Very Tight

Caught yourself in a spot very tight?
No way out, no one else in sight
Wallow in self-pity 
Or think and be witty 
Doesn’t matter the route, be mighty and fight

PITY NOT


Pity not the one who his path is littered
With broken dreams
BUT
The one who dreams as companions had 
None on his way!

Pity of the Belle

My heart was manned for you.
But I could not be your Boo.
All you care about is cash.
Your words have given me negative rash.
When I'm stronger you will not be my Boo.

Premium Member What a Pity

Smoke bellows from a chimney,
Raping the innocent sky of its dignity,
Needlessly denying helpless animals,
Of their precious gift of life,
With no sense of shame or pity,

It Does Not Feel Pity, It Does Not Feel Fear

It does not feel pity, it does not feel fear,
It strike you like vulture so viciously from air.
And what does it want? Nothing! Just blood!	.
Cursed mosquito. Despicable gnat.

Premium Member Pity Not the One

Pity, not the one whose path is littered
With broken dreams

But

The one who dreams as a companion had
None on his way!

I Cradled Pity In My Arms

I cradled pity in my arms
as the wind blew it away
Hope escaped
through the crack in my heart
Sadness shrugged but never left
just sat beside me here
searching the horizon
for death

Premium Member Pity For Polar Bears

The polar bears’ piece of land

on which they sit or stand

is melting into smaller chunks of ice.

That’s just not very nice!


For Line Gauthier's Bite Size Poem No18 Poetry Contest

I Pity the Super Rich

I pity the super-rich,
Their best dreams left behind in a ditch,
With no friends left on the pitch, 
And time almost up on their watch,
For their soul to re-attach, 
If the virus they should catch.

Premium Member Pity the Poor Women

Pity the poor women of Afghanistan
In the hands of the ruthless Taliban
Repressed and put down
In a shapeless black gown
At the disposal of any overbearing man.

Mani’s scriptures of seven

Seven beams of unveiled light 
Enters the breast caged by bone
The Spirit’s pity of might 
Her seven fingers now known 
Softens skin and hearts of stone 
Rainbow of hope from heaven 
Mani’s scriptures of seven

Premium Member Pity Poor Doctor Anderson Cooper

     So many patients waiting with their dogs
         I pitied the poor Doctor, Anderson Cooper

      As time passed, my pity shifted to the waiting room
         An aquarium it had ~ it lacked a pooper-scooper

Pity

Negativity spreads like sicknesses around the world.
Positivity is hard to find...in this world.
Can there be peace on Earth?
I'm yearning for God's ever-glowing mirth
Never thought I could be so gloomy
Until today had to replay...pity...

It Is a Pity

Relishing on sour foods left over night
Grains only fit for the husbandry
Sucking the unrefined milk after a cow’s fight
Generating the most unhygienic dairy
Diseases are thriving with unchallenged might
So everyone is a victim of the gory
Form: Elegy

Premium Member Rescue Dog

Back corner
Of a cage
Skinny
Sad
Cold
Shivering
Vulnerable
Defeated look
Their eyes locked
They made a connection
Visiting him daily for a week
Before taking him home
Never again either to be lonely
