Premium Member Useless

Useless is inner-light
if it can't be gathered,
as is water in the air
which can't be drank,
even if dying of thirst.


Ugly

I'm useless
I'm a disgrace
I'm pathetic
I'm a joke
I'm a failure
I'm dirty
I'm awful

And it's all because of YOU.

A Bridge

Bridge,
should not collapse

River,
world also,
millions crying

cars will also become useless

the years will wail.

Strings severed
No more dancing
Can't dance
Useless
Lifeless
With two left feet

Self Cornered By the Self

rest easy
lost in this maze-
amazed- can't get out.
'help' useless,
can't find their way
in. safety made 
by inversions.

Old voices echoed
Stubbornly until they drowned
Soft remonstrations
Old worn useless endearments
Rising waters held silence

Useless Bookworms

Here is a bookworm 
Knows how cloth weaving
To cover his body weaving 
This is useless 
To all cloth less
Nakedly shivering

    useless life
    without existence

Come gather the rose in bloom
Before it withers and dies
Like a book un-read or a song un-sung
Useless waste swept away by time

Useless

To the sounding of the
Tick on Tock.

I added to it
Block on block.

My loneliness,
A drawing in.

A turning of anger
In.

What is the
seed I dare not spill?
Is it useless grief?
I have only so much
stored in my breath.
I dare not waste
a single tear.

Useful English

Use is a useful word in English
In use it’s user friendly
What’s unable to refuse is misuse
To make it useless anybody can abuse it!

Scissors

We are like a pair 
of scissors: alone - useless 
blades of solitude,  
but together - Atropos' 
shears cutting the thread of fate.

Lonely Heart

Lonely heart,
Absent mind,
Looking forward,
Left behind,
Searching for happiness, 
Seems so useless,
When emptiness is all I find.

You want me disconnected
Further conversion is useless
Naive impostor enigma syndrome

She longs to be touched
Lusting over every man around her
Useless it is to try to change her ways
Tempted is she to lose herself tonight

Trump and Putrid Lips

Trump's Putrid Lips Up Would Pucker,    
Seeming to think we were some sucker;
Useless;
Clueless,
And out some things sure is a shucker.

No Time To Waste

An empty useless mark
On dreary days left dark
Arouse my faculties, burst forward into light
Never waste life's time or ever lose my sight

Self

the differences 
between men and animals 
give birth a  human 

without knowing self,  knowledge 
of  uniserse is useless

Shroud of Wisdom

No matter how bright a star is
It becomes futile and useless 
If it cannot share its glow 
For bigotry suppresses its flow
