The Ugliness of Reincarnation
And if there’s nothing left to come back to ...
shall we wander the aimless wasteland
as ghosts
along with the other extinctic creatures.
A barren planet of our making:
literally, Hell on Earth.
So, let us pray the Lord’s prayer
for a little intervention.
A little “on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

The Ugliness of Money
Why do so many not have enough
for their most basic needs
While others have more
than they can ever spend
They can’t take it with them in the end

Ugliness
Do you remember saying you love me,
Cuddling till we fell asleep in eachothers arms. laughing our hearts out, getting eachother gifts everyweek. I know the answer to that,it's no because all the ugliness we have had covers every single good thing about us. You shoudnt let the ugliness, cover all the goodnes. but you

Along the Broken Avenue
The town, ripped up like a carpet—flung to the side like a broken leg. In its scar the soldiers marched. Chanted for a ruler who ate in his highchair while he penned in their death warrants. Overhead birds of death floated, their naked beaks dying for flesh. It’s cold, so cold a little brown mole

PARASITE
It’s a parasite’s world.
The worm of laziness
Clogging the mind,
Ego refusing change.
It’s a parasite’s world,
Seeping through one’s blood and breath.
Adoption, adaptation to change, an uphill task.
Ignorance, dark, deep, masquerading ugliness.
It’s a parasite’s world---
Where dependence is practice.
And excuses-- strategy, to design.
Deadlines met feverishly by others.
It’s a parasite’s world,
Where type of work affect quality.
Where comparison and perks

Flowers and Age
‘I’m okay, you’re okay’ is a mask in the land of pretend.
Hide your face and how it twists into such an ugly thing,
How it wrinkles and fades into what none could call beauty.
Hide your skin and the odd colours that bloom beneath it
Like flowers.
You age like flowers do – beauty ebbing away as they crumple,
Ready

Kitschy Broken Ugliness - Remembering Nette Onclaud
Repost:
Dedicated to Nette Onclaud, a great poet who alas stopped posting on Poetry Soup on 4 November 2020. A dear friend whom I truly miss.
She really did it, bought a kitschy,
a repulsive ornate vase,
Thank God, the cat broke it.

Beauty In Ugliness
We believe in good things easily
But hard to confide in bad ones,
(Beauty tells us the jovial story
But often it throws the dark rays
Into our smiling face.)
We know if the flowers
Bloom, they must give sweet fragrance
To the air, but we often forget
Some are odorless. Some flowers which
Bloom beyond our vision are full
Of sweet nectar but we

An Ugliness of Winter Winds
An Ugliness of Winter Winds
David J Walker
Cold as the old north wind
may blow
Temperatures
well below
The freezing points of heaven
or hell
the tide swells without
contrition
the moon rises without
permission
snow sneers
as winter veers
well beyond a
path of tears
March winds bring an ugliness
To winter

Shoes
We wear shoes
To protect our feet
Have to please them
With the right size
To keep healthy
To be comfortable
Go all the ways to please them
They will in return
Walk faster
With more stable steps
With more beautiful posture
Moreover some people may
Go further to please eyes
Hiding ugliness and handicaps
Building confidence
Showing off
Capturing admiration
And finally slaved their own

Ugliness
The ugliness
becomes most
ugly because
we despise it,
we don't pay it
attention...
if we offer a little
affection, if we pass
a little love,
we will sight that with time
the ugliness will mutate color....
Ugliness is nothing else
than impression of
first sight...
if it shows
its inside
beauty,
we will observe
the nature
lavish as it is ...
With time
It will be transformed ,
it will
display

Beauty Can Replace the Ugliness of Thoughts
If I changed my looks
it would satisfy many,
but it wouldn't make me feel comfortable
with what I was born with, what nobody has;
my traits are my identity:
beauty can replace the ugliness of thoughts:
I cultivate it strengthening minds that are so fragile!
I am cute and liked by everybody,
I laugh, I sing ballads and people listen;
girls used
