Uninhabitable Poems | Examples

Torn Pages

I see the throbbing bass and liquid windswept flute in colorful everyday accompaniments companions really helping guiding finding myself quite champed as I weave through parallel realms not commonly accessed by learned energy observing interacting always respectful as I understand these entities exist to expand my mind chasing swallowtail butterflies and the aliens among us dragonflies whose speed of acrobatic art can only be duplicated by beings from another dimension the reason my 30 mn hikes always become 2 hour soul journeys connecting with all I encounter some boring sad joyful recompense but none grumpy mean or uninhabitable

Dead End

A random road wanders across the desert
as voluminous clouds chase the rising sun 
nary a sound can be heard, save for the
whipping wind and clicks of insects. 

The yawning horizon stretches out
reaching towards a vast, expansive sea
its crystalline beauty is but a deceptive liar
for death surrounds her ever lapping shores. 

Almost uninhabitable she is
like a barren womb in want
her waters are lifeless, a fluid grave
bearing witness of her desolate decay. 

Fish carcasses tell their solemn tales
along her distant, lonely shores
their bony apertures are splayed and pecked 
hungry seagulls circle, hunting for scraps. 

Relentless winds are spreading littered
whitewashed bones, causing them
to tumble about
conjuring up a false sense of life. 

Now the moon is rising
as acrid air hovers over the sullen sea
the winds seem to shout, “go away”
a dull emptiness prevails. 

The blackest night, save for the moon
descends upon this accursed place
where the bony beach rattles its lifeless tunes
along a haunting shoreline
that no one wants to see
where no one wants to be
beside the Salton Sea.

Let Life Find Its Way

                           The world transformed many times
                             From uninhabitable to habitable
                                    From deserts to tundra
                             From volcanic rocks to rainforest
                               We, humans should take care
                                         Of Mother Earth.
                                     She will be going fine
                                 If we let her flora and fauna
                           Thrive in their own natural habitation
                                       Let life find its way.

Save Water

Save Water
Water is life, water is life, The world is desolate without water! Without this there will be no forest or park, Will food grow in the fields? Water is nectar, water is life, The world is desolate without water! Without this neither animals nor dogs, The world will become uninhabitable! Water is life, water is life, The world without water is a cremation ground! Water is a precious gem, Save it everyone!
Bidyarnab Das

Looking To Nobody To Save the World

I hear it more and more,
Every time I visit the store,
Walk along the shore,
Or hear our neighbors next door.

"Nobody is going to tell me what to do",
No wonder I am feeling blue,
Every time I put on a shoe
And have to take it off again and forego a live show,
If nobody, is not there to tell the children what to do.


When will we come to realize that nobody is indispensable,
And we need to find his missing relatives as soon as possible,
As, it may soon become impossible,
For just one nobody to save the world that is so inhospitable,
It may soon become uninhabitable?

Light

We died in the night
Humanity’s quarrels
Caused by spite

The world
Seems to crumble
In our hands
The earth now seems like
An uninhabitable land

It seems like
Our happiness will end
And darkness will be rushing
Inside our hearts instead

When it seemed 
All was against me,
I looked to the sky

The sky,
glamoured by the stars
Encased bright

No matter what 
happened in our world,
They always show light

They sing their own song
In spite of the music,
No, quarrels,
Of our world
And then I realized

The stars, they shine
When we are broken
Our fate 
Captured bright

Our tears
They fall
When we are hopeless
But we
Will live
To see the 
light

There’s light inside us
One day it will shine so bright
Everything in the world
Will be a clean sight

We will see the light

Do Murders Seem Senseless

Violent offenders released without bail
  a senseless reform, it unfailingly fails

Victims walk alone in dark alleys at night
  then rant on the news 'bout the lack of streetlights

Movies at theatres feature a killing a minute
  Hollywood's culture of death implicated in it

Crude rap songs glorify every nasty habit imaginable
  blare from sidewalks and streets uninhabitable

Guns so easy to score on the meanest of streets
  adolescents own more than the cops on the beat

Single mothers on drugs, absent fathers in jail
  young kids left untended, what do 'values' avail

Do murders seem senseless ~ They're so often not
  They happen for good reason in the society we've got

They Just Don'T Care

Call it as it is!
Not mistaken.
Not uninformed –  
They just don't care! 
Death in record numbers
at our Southern Border;
Death in the streets
of large cities from 
Fentanyl...They just
don't care! Mask-less
getting her hair done;
at the seaside with
his obedient dog, steak
for him and Kibbles
for the population. She
parties in Florida, 
while the streets of New
York are rapidly becoming
an uninhabitable sewer – 
Even pigeons, rats and 
roaches objecting to
piles of feces on sidewalks,
along curbs, obstructing
their normal foraging, healthier
diets of tossed pizza, bagels 
and imported lox – They just don't
care! Using God and religion
as a prop, to control the naive
masses, while they get richer,
sitting ever higher on their
imagined Royal Asses. Already
card-caring Mammon's. They 
just don't care! Obsessed
with Pursuit-of-power – 
badly in need of a soul-cleansing
shower – the Devil Delighted,
fiery-plans for each selfish-hide -- 
advance reservations on a
Subterranean Ride –

Void

There is that momentary pause
 a second or two locked in hidden space,
 darkness, calling out from somewhere
 lapses of the uninhabitable reality
 in the in-betweens;
we cannot help but enter in
 escaping what lay behind
 what waits ahead
 all that haunts the now
 the blank void that is nullified;
the quiet stillness
 of emptiness here, 
 the chasmed abyss of nothing
 the journey into lost time
 over there, beyond.

Several Haiku

Haiku 

Beautiful horses
But it is the modest mule 
That carries our load

Tidy office building
Busy and efficient place 
Kept clean by janitors
 
Our great cities
Without armies of cleaners  
Uninhabitable 

Galloping filly 
Bets are on black beauty 
The jenny won

Island

Island
If I were an island
Made by nature or by man
I wouldn’t feel alone at all
I would devise a plan
I’d slowly but most definitely
Proof I was smart and wise
For I would turn myself into
A most desirable paradise
Where everything was thriving
Plants and animals, the whole lot
I’d labor steadily and with joy
To make exceptional this here spot
As I would lie there by myself
I would seem isolated
But that would only be assumed
I would be underrated
I would have no appeal or charm
Nobody would come near
Who knows if some would even think
I was a place to fear
But in my isolated state
I’d flourish and I’d bloom
For all the silence and the peace
Would leave me lots of room
And when perhaps by accident
After quite a lot of time
Someone who ventured over here
Would see that I’m sublime
And off he’d go to tell the rest
Of the jewel he had found
He’d tell of all that he had seen
This would for sure astound
What they had seen as overgrown
Uninhabitable and scary
Now caught the interest of them all
They were no longer wary
But by that time I would have been
A natural reserve
All guarded and protected 
From those who would have the nerve.
Wendy Nipas

Demise

Demise

The mansion anchored seaside
erosion
from the wrath of the tide
impelled now reposes 
haunted on the rise.

The ocean floor raw,
uninhabitable,
like a barren womb, 
surrounds the symbol of
the über wealthy 1% 
alienated 

when the world collapsed.

Caged

Locked inside her head,
unable to let her feelings out;
Screaming on the inside,
like a caged beast;
Over flowing,
rushed feelings out of control;
Waves crashing against rock,
as if yearning to escape from the sea;
Love overbearing,
hate misunderstood;
Confusion growing,
as if weeds choking out a paradise of flowers;
Soon fear of being nothing,
like uninhabitable soil that's drained of life;
World seeming dull and lifeless,
a blank sheet of paper;
She screams inside for someone to save her,
someone to care but she can't make a sound;
Silence deafening,
Loneliness piercing;
No one will save her,
pay attention to her silent pleas;
Her prison is so empty,
that her fate looks the same.

She's Still My Girl

Seriously Jealous,

inherently over-zealous,

a calculation of the wellness-
of present day hellishness...

Seriously sophomoric,

traumatically important,

radical-
a spaceship uninhabitable.


Playing a game,

never would have guessed I was a lame...

Being insane,

while people are on their way.


Driving the plains,

with wheel chairs with sprains,

going to work on the veins,

with fangs,

from behind brains,

I withstand the shame,

and accept my fame.

An Insignificant Insect

An Insignificant Insect

An insignificant insect
Living on an insignificant planet
Located in an insignificant galaxy
Why does man think he is so important?
He is a parasite tolerated by the universe
To be swept away whenever it desires
Man kills the planet he is on
Pollution and war leaves deep scars
Ruining what was created shortly after the big bang
Wanting to spread to other planets and stars
To rape them and watch them die as the Earth is
Man will be swept away on uninhabitable worlds
Man thinks he will leave an impact
There will be no impact
No monuments to what man has done
No trace that he ever existed
An insect that never mattered 
On an insignificant planet in an insignificant galaxy
Man never existed
