Short Uncared For Poems

In old rags
Biting cold winter night
Sleeping in footpath
Under open sky
Uncared for
Abandoned
No emotions ~
Only Silence

You have shown me
Truly
What it means 
To be a vulture amongst mourning doves
To witness pain, 
Absolute and final,
And feel only hunger 
Gnawing with merciless lust, are we 
On the skin
On delicacies uncared for
With no regard for what once was 
Only what can now be 
...

What lies behind it,
Dare I take a look and see.
Looks very old, uncared for,
What secrets does it hide, 
Nothing here but a broken heart

Left bruised and broken
Lonely without hope and love
Now firmly locked and bolted
Key thrown away for good
No one can cross the threshold now.

Furious females take to the streets, shouting
   Staid matrons join them, newly doubting

Angry young males overturn cars, defiant
   Older men surrender their values, and riot

Lawyerly senators attack each other, at virtual war
   As the issues that really matter, go uncared for

Civility is abandoned, all but forgotten
   A nation's lifeblood tainted, utterly rotten...

My body flips me off and I fall down
Into the sunburnt grass;
It's telling me “It’s time to sleep!
Just look how good this bed of
Uncared for dirt appears in the
Afternoon shade?
Pray, tell me why you will not
Dream now when your
Dorm room didn't catch a wink?”
And I smile at its
Upturned two middle fingers and say,
“Well body, it's actually time to write for me.”...

Pour down the waters,
May they fall over
The sanctuary so it
May flower abundantly.

May the fruit it bear
Belong to you
The honey it produces
Be sweeter than most.

May the territorial waters
Live like a spirit,
Roaming over the earth
Like liberated winds.

I am the sad sanctuary
Untamed and uncared for,
Waiting for the gardner
To come and tend to it....

bland, plain, simple, uncaring, unkind
These are ugly words
spinster, old maid, crone, hag, these are ugly words
blah, dribble, drip, droopy, dreary, depressing 
Do I have to say it?

gray, tan, unclean, unkempt, uncared for, unloved
these are ugly words
words that hurt, maim, kill, bruise and make people cry
idiot, dummy, despicable, unwanted

any words that make you feel less than yourself
words that make someone cry 
These are ugly words...

RESOLUTIONS

my resolutions?
i don’t dare think how many
so?  won’t make any

two thousand thirteen
will come with january
fade – february

just like all the rest
predictions are numerous
cartoons humorous

politicians bad
the voters all up in arms
sick of d.c. charms

prices going up
wages quite stationary
unemployed many

uncared for homeless
with their numbers increasing
and rich desisting

i’ll sit by and watch
expectations will be few
all in all what’s new?...
