Paper Tomb
Scholars squander sunny days
Coffined in their cloistered nooks,
Where a wise man never stays
Buried, bored, by books....

Homeless Boy
Drop out from school at
ten after parent demise,
he hawks and picks purse;
floor serves as bed ;cloud blanket,
while leaders squander the wealth....

Trump Is Totally Inhumane
Trump Is Totally Inhumane

Has become very hard to bare the strain;
Trump does seem to be totally inhumane;
Will wander,
And squander;
From everyone does receive much disdain.

There is a way to succeed
If simple instructions you heed.
Don’t ever time squander,
From right paths don’t wander,
And never be caught up in greed!...

''Tonight''
Blush,flushed of face left the girl with an open heart.
''Send me his love''she cries.
Trample my woes.
Does love last in the hues of his eyes?
Squander fears of rejection.
Her fate lye only on his return....

Anything Is Possible
Anything is possible 
Just put your mind to it 
Never give up hope 
Push yourself to the limit
Do not squander your opportunity 
Or else, life will pass you by 
Give yourself a chance 
All you have to do is try...

They Drudge Among the Living
They drudge among the living 
But count among the dead
Their youthful labor stolen
A universal dread

In stasis, they squander years 
In shock, we view their pain
Hostility - A witness to 
Their efforts done in vain...

Premium Member Distant Relations
Distance makes the heart grow fonder;
I prefer you over yonder.
If you get the urge to wander,
opportunities to squander,
find another place to launder.
Maybe once just stop and ponder
        why your life’s this way....

Premium Member Spring Into Action
How much time does a man have
  Only as much as God gives him

So spring into action at the crack of dawn
  Then keep up the pace and the rhythm

You only live once, as we all realize
  Don't squander the time ~ Be wise...

While Trump Spends and Will Squander
While Trump Spends and Will Squander

While Trump did spend and also will squander;
Excessive expenditures have been big blunder;
He did shatter,
Laughing matter;
Mis-spelled words do exist in spell he is under.

Premium Member Today Is a Gift
Today is a gift I dare not squander
My thoughts and feelings I do not launder.
That I am still here at all is a wonder.
So many others have travelled yonder.
I feel like a poser vagabonder
Still, today’s a gift I dare not squander....

Trepidation
Lurking around each corner 
Waiting to blanket 
   Hopes
   Dreams 
   Desires 
Ready to squander 
   Love 
   Goals
   Lust 
Reckless and ruthless 
Heed those days of yore 
Always at hand

Listen to poem:
getting
more and more
protective
particular 
and selective
with my time

truth is
i refuse
to have others decide
how to squander 
what I have left

life is too short
to waste

Revelers wear masks without complaint
On Halloween, which makes me wonder
Why we find it hard to practice restraint,
     Commonsense and friendships we squander
     By casting good scientific practices asunder.

Melancholy
Those smiles bloomed, blossomed fawned
As tears now wander
Upon hearts squander
Love's grave has securely, purely, spawned 

We kissed aflutter and danced in shimmer
And my hands apprised
But now glanced disguised
For the shadows glare dolour and dimmer...

Evening Sun
Lost in time is earthly squander-
Difficult moments give us torture-
Forever lost in a simple beauty-
Crushed by iron fists of duty-
Gone is wandering without desire-
For in each moment together as one-
Burning within a lover's fire-
Adorned in rays of an evening sun-...

Questioning Fear
Why do I even try if all I do is lie?

Is it wrong to squander a life?
Is it wrong to shrivel up, consumed by strife

I see the faces of those I counted on
I remember them, but I’m already gone

Maybe it’s time to enter the beast, kill or be killed, the fighting does not cease...

Waste No More
You are not
Deserving of my kindess,
Let me spare you,
The ache and abhor

Of feeling like you broke my heart
Though regret you do implore

What a waste of time, Spent energy
On a Narc with a head too big
No longer will my heart you squander
This empath's got a new gig...
