Short Punks Poems

If life gave you a pink lemon,
Would you be always wondering
Just what to do with it?
If that's all there is, then just go for it....

Charles Bronson, star of "Death Wish," 
  Served punks icy-cold revenge dish.

  On body counts, he raised the ante.
 America's screen one-man vigilante...

Drunks

Stay in Funks

No longer look like Hunks

Use Sidewalks for Bunks

Get beaten up by Punks 

And though they have Lost it All

They'll be in the Bodega Tomorrow

Looking for some Alcohol...

Chronic illness isn’t for punks
You deal with pain feel drained
I wonder why my power failed
To heal myself be a miracle 
I think it’s leftover trauma
I forgot in maroon mind
But body blues recall drama
So I will find a white way
To break the cycle of pain
And gain the keys to self help...

The Peacock Punks
bide their time
in New York's finery
Their aegis ,Betty Davis eyes
follows them in no uncertain terms
The day is engrossed with snowflakes
There is serenity in the air
as the chanteuse
forgets her words
I sensed the silence
as a solitary butterfly flew past
I longed for my reward...

I don't want to be lost forever
In the high school sea
This clique or that one
Which should I choose
Preps, punks, goths, 
Every possible type is here
But I don't want to be any of them
I want to be myself
The kind of person that's
Not accepted in high school
But I can make it on my own
This is it, just me...

Lucky me
I can't see
The hell this worlds become
With punks on one side
And preps on the other
What's this world coming to
When you're scared to outside you're own house
It sucks not knowing where you're going next
Heaven or Hell 
You.ve got to choose before you go
Stay high and you'll fly right by

(This is a fictional poem)

A bunch of punks stole my glasses.
I  tried very hard to kick their _____.
But without my specs, I can't see.
They beat the holy crap out of me.
Please don't ever try to fight five people at once.
Or like me, you'll be in a wheelchair for months.
They kicked my ___ and now I can't see or walk, what  am I going to do?
My food has to be put in a blender because without teeth, I can't chew....

it's me they dream of
in their half sleeps
why me?
even the kids ridicule me
only the maids adore me
it's me they yearn to kiss
the beauty princesses don't see future with me
i cry,because i'm all alone
no one sees my tears 
because i'm out of love
and i don't have any friends
i'm smart,with no one to trust
why me?
old friends dis me for my past
punks warn their girls about me
why me?
my mama thought i was good for nothing...

Explosion
Heavy punches
Killing in one move
Mental manipulation 
Insane and crazy
Mad beat
Ripple in the fist
Stamina of a horse
One punch is all it takes
Let’s dance brother
Don’t stop
Iron stare
Don’t stop with the rawness
Absolute gold
Typical brunts can’t stand up to the iron fist
Not an average sucker
Kill ordinary punks
The heat is in the air
The air is warm
Strength of the mighty
Absolutely Insane 
Eat this
BOOM!...

Back in the day
There was many a name
For all the groups in school
We’d label ‘em all

The bros
Bro hoes
Asians
And nerds

Some were outcasts
Some were punks
Some were skaters
And some were lunks

No matter the person
Each had a name
It was quite the simple game
All in good fun

The divisive nature 
Of this attitude
Caused much hatred
And was quite immature

In the grand scheme
It was just high school
We could all act a fool
Innocence was bliss...

The worst fraternity on campus is Delta Tau Chi
Every night, all of the frat members get high.
They can drink more than their weight in booze.
In the classrooms with their grades is where they lose.
The brothers have trouble imbibing their knowledge.
The dean wants those punks kicked out of the college.
For everyone else, they display blatant effrontery.
The truth is, there are houses like that on every campus in the country.

Based on the 1978 film “Animal House”
