Thicker Poems

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Water describes a stranger while blood describes a family member
This statement has been around for as long as i can remember
When it comes to different situations why is this statement used
When the truth is when you're in need of help your family has refused
Family isn't the the blood it used to be because its been watered down
Its selfishness, lies and money bringing all families to the ground
There's constant argument and not getting along with one another
There's fighting over the inheritance of their almost dead mother
There's competing between siblings on who's better than who
What happen to sticking close together the way your mother has taught you
A proverb says friends are sticking closer than a brother
So really there is no such thing as blood being thicker than water.

Blood vs Water

A heavenly mix,
that gives a perfect fix.
They say blood is thicker than water,
a reverberating old proverb.

But, I object!!!
Course in the world I am living,
water is magic.
In the world I am living,
water is no different.

It can be lighter, but it is an anchor,
And blood can be thicker, but predominantly bitter.
Hence, the concept is invalid
to me, if not to anyone else.
Course in the world I am living,
Both hás volume.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Blood is thicker than water,
So the saying goes,
But sometimes blood can be,
The source of our woes.

Family ties run deep,
Bound by love and history,
We laugh and we weep,
And share in each other's victories.

But blood can also bring pain,
When family turns against their own,
Betrayal and anger reign,
And trust is shattered and thrown.

Blood may flow through our veins,
But love and loyalty must be earned,
For true family is built,
On more than simply being related by birth.

So remember, blood may be thick,
But it is the heart that truly matters,
And those who stand by us in life,
Are the ones who truly are our brothers and sisters.

A Thicker Sweater

Wrapped up and warm, so comfy inside
A thick Irish sweater, where two can reside
As long as its large enough, it still might be snug
But you know what they say about bugs in a rug
Its lanolin scent so earthy and raw
Its pattern so delicate, I wouldn't withdraw
Myself from it ever as long as I knew
That someone was there, one heart from two

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

I thought blood was no longer thiker than water.
But that's not the matter.
Even that who calls you honey,
Will run away when you have no money.

Listen to me yee!
Not in anyway  will I mislead thee.
Build a rapport.
Your kins need your report.

Let your mother be your accomplice.
She always know how to accomplish.
You can always use her as an alibi.
Remember tha time she sang you lullaby.

You have those you call comrade.
But I tell you they'll come and raid.
That day when you'll go.
They'll come eat as they go.

They'll praise you during the requim mass.
But those will be the words of the mass.
Your kins will sing the dirges.
As your gang act as your judges.

Do not be a city boy.
You life will be a bouy.
Go back to the village.
Do not cry much about the milage.

Your village people needs you.
Once you go to the village you'll get a ewe.
But I tell you, you need them more.
One day you grave will need a mow.

Heed to the words of an erudite sage.
Do not judge by looking at the age.
I put this message in words.
Take this to the entire world.



 Tha Formidable Cheru.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

It’s not the color of our 
skin that defines us 
It’s the size of one’s ego
that expands like a balloon 
Blood is thicker than water 
We’re  all human beings 
We can try to asked 
your opinion in 
a civil matter 
Don’t fool yourself by 
saying you’re perfect 
In reality nobody really is

They Say Blood Is Thicker Than Water

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS COME OUT TO PLAY
NONE In DISARRAY
WHEN FAMILY ABANDONS YOU
AFTER SOME TIME, IT BECOMES REAL, TRUE
SO MUCH PAIN BECAUSE BLOOD SHOULD BE THICKER THAN WATER
OH HOW I THANK GOD FOR MY WONDERFUL DAUGHTER
SO MUCH JEALOUSY FOR SACRIFICES I MADE
WHILE THEY ARE STUCK IN MUD AND WADE
I FINALLY LEARNT THE BIGGEST LESSON OF THEM ALL
IF THEY WANT, THEY CAN CALL
I'm NOT GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THEM ANY MORE
WHAT THE HELL FOR?

Thicker In the Middle

The pictures on the wall are kind of crooked.
The mem’ries in my head, starting to fade.
That guy there in the frame was better looking.
The mirror shows what passing time has made.
Each moment going by is lost forever.
Each day that passes brings with it more gray.
Every “someday” morphs into a “never.”
Every youthful dream given away.

Those pictures, well, they’re all kind of misleading:
A moment frozen, nothing more or less.
The hairline, like the mem’ry is receding.
Makes my mental image quite a mess.
But every moment we have should be treasured.
And each day is much more precious than gold.
The true worth of a life cannot be measured
And a spirit young-at-heart will not grow old.

Those pictures on the wall will not get clearer.
Just one more in the trove of memories.
So I’ll just quit my gazing in the mirror
And try to ponder greater mysteries.
For though I’m growing thicker in the middle
And thinner on the top as days pass by,
I’ll one day find the answer to the riddle
That plagues us as we slowly age: why?

Thicker Than Water

My nurse got in touch
I did not expect much
from my medical results she had seen,
but on one thing I failed,
Cholesterol off the scale
which was bad news for little old me.
She just sat there quiet,
I reeled off my diet,
red meat, lots of eggs,dairy stuff,
not much veg in the range
she demanded a change,
though not keen
lots more greens,
fair enough.
I can't overstate it,
you name it, I ate it,
as long as it grew from the ground,
my mood became petulant,
gut rather flatulent,
but gradually lost a few pounds.
One more round of blood letting,
nurse no longer fretting,
the numbers down, now she was pleased,
I'm one happy fellah,
so I ( please don't tell her)
celebrated with a burger and cheese.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

My childhood friend, my blood brother
We did a lot of fun things together
Playing carom, table tennis and skating
You were the dull school boy
My eyes were always pained 
To see you struggle through school
The painting on the wall of the little boy in tears
Always reminded me of you
And so I kept a close watch 
To give your dull mind a spark 
Now and then teaching you, stoking your inner fire
What a fine eagle you turned out 
Life’s battle you have won
Whereas I have lost one and all
We have now parted ways
You are now  wrapped up with another
And I in my lonely mansion with father and mother.

Thicker Than Water

"Thicker Than Water"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Once again, we are here
Regardless of the place, Love remains sincere
I can't think of another group I'd rather be near
Just being close to you all gives me reason to cheer
Because in my heart, it is oh so clear
That each of your faces always appear
At the front, the middle and even in the rear
And each position, to me, is oh so dear
Because each of you is so much more than a peer
Since the Love we share is more than just mere
You all are the reason I have nothing to fear
Because the strength of our bond conquers my every tear

Thicker Than Blood

The blood is thicker than water
As many people do proclaim;
The brothers and sisters in flesh
Never put each other to shame.

The red blood that runs through their veins
Is flowing through their own parent;
The beat of each and every heart
Reveals the true bonding moment.

No one can break the foundation
Of the love for one another;
Yes, they always want to establish
That blood is thicker than water.

But there is greater than this kind
Of human link that is so deep;
It is God and the chosen ones
Who are called as the Savior’s sheep.

Yes, the Father’s sons and daughters
Must follow the will of one God;
It is their paramount duty,
Because it is thicker than blood.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water -Farewell

Blood is thicker than water (farewell)

Burdened and scarred by DNA
Passed on to us without our say yet
Blood is thicker than water you say?
Characteristically speaking at least 
Yes this much is true

Blood coagulates, dries up at such a rate
Impermanent - given certain conditions -  
As flaking paint on the family portrait
Carries unknown diseases causing delicate hearts 
Quite literally to break

Water the poor relation oh so giving
Life force indeed of all things living
Cleanses, refreshes, vitality brings
Enriches life prompting hale hearts
Passionately to sing

Crimson blood dripping oozing  
Pure water flowing clear and soothing
I know now which is my choosing

Blood is thicker than water they say
This I will dispute 
Till my last drop has bled away

Blood Thicker Than Water

We went through 
The strength of things
The worst of things
Best friends 
A team
You had my back 
I had yours
Secrets and stories
So much fun
Back in the day
Bikes and "the black"
Manhunt and boys
And now
Years later
Children and families
Gains and loses
We live far apart
But we're still the same
You are still my bestie
My sister, my cousin, my friend
My ride or die to the end

Thicker Than Water

I pushed at the open door, no sound
just darkness inside. Dust filtered my
nostrils, a mustiness of lost years
inhabited my senses. A loose floorboard
creaked in the stairwell, the aroma 
of her Chanel provoked memories of my
living hell. A tear of self-pity congealed
in the dirt at my feet.I switched on the light,
"Hello son I knew you'd be back;He's gone..."
