Unlivable Poems | Examples


To Find

Come find me
where roads have washed away
in tangled bits of cluster
and skies that turned to gray
come whisper
soothe a ringing ear
with words of hope and harmony
dissipating fear
fill the unapproachable
where misery's chained
living life unlivable
and love has long remained

Poem of My Life

I wish I could be at peace,
I wish my life would be at ease.
I dream of a life,
I dream of a life
which feels unlivable in reality.

Dreams in sleep seem more real
than the goal that I want to achieve .
Dreams in sleep seem more real 
than the life I would like to live .
My Dream, My Goal, My Love
is just one ,
Writing .

It doesn't let me sleep peacefully ,
it pulls my soul out of me,
until I achieve it.
It might seem like I'm overthinking,
It might seem like I'm over-sinking 
into a fantasy world,
which seems like a very useless thing 
But
But
Listen to me attentively.
My dreams and goals don't have limits.
I believe it is a gift sent by God,
I wasn't inspired by any human ,
I was inspired by God to do this.

Sometimes
I just want to let go of it ,
want to focus on my studies 
and live in so called " reality"
Sometimes 
I just hope I've never fallen in love with writing,
because
my life would've been easier and normal
But 
Hold on tight , 
For the crazy journey.
Hope for the Best ,
As God is always in my Vest.

Planet Earth has become scary and unlivable,
So why not try something that is unbelievable 

Thinking of buying a one way ticket to Mars,
To The Milky Way Dairy who sell Milky Bars,

All my poetic friends would be invited along,
Where we’ll create and dream, united and strong,

What an awesome getaway trip this would be,
Just our families, our muses, you and me!

Child of Unknown Father

Before the birth of fatherless children
Life was good, the land was peaceful
To the field we went happily
Children knew and played with fathers
Peace died because war was awful
To unlivable areas women fled unhappily

Fathers taken as war hostages
Evils of sickness, hunger and thirst we endured
In our hideouts, the worst of evils was war rape
Unknown gunmen made us impregnated
Fatherless children we delivered
Children of mothers they are 

Community hates this for man decides
On him, mother and child depend
Wordless the mother is, and so the child becomes
Unhappily and unfreely the child grows
He cannot play with his unknown dad
So shame builds on him, as no father he has

We never decided to bear a child in impurity
Who will never be at harmony
And whose life and education are risky
For he is fatherless and family ignominy 
Ultimately, mother and child need basic rights 
For they both are victims of their innocence

Wayward Hope

To think the unthinkable 
To live the unlivable 
To dream the impossible 
And seek the unreachable

Going where I'm going
First being where I've been 
The courage to conquer it all
It has to come from within

Cracked like a cinder block 
It keeps reviving itself 
It lingers on to keep me strong 
It'll take me through to the end

One moment fleeting 
But always on guard 
It has a life of its own
And pushes on diligent yet worn

Just when I think it's sunken too low
It rises up with a force and lets itself be known 
A drifter at times yet always so close
That Wayward Hope that knows me as Home

Pachyderm Extinction Party

Pachyderm Extinction Party

Two American parties of politics each have a mascot, 
Either choice as sensible as picking a sasquatch.
One a pachyderm the other a ass, 
The former officially adopted by the party of impasse.

It is too bad this proboscis beast has been picked
By accident of history this party to depict;
One whose furtherance of business as usual
Will destroy this world by treating everything as a consumable.

Whether the logo represents Asian or African species is unclear;
Likely Republicans don’t know or seem not to give a tear.
Jumbos are killed every 15 seconds, extinction soon to be it’s fate,
All for powder and trinkets made from hacked off tusks sold at a high rate.

G.O.P. would not lift a finger to protect this mammoth animal
For this would infringe on rights to make capitol.
Preventing it from being hunted to the last individual
Would slow their campaign to make this world unlivable.

The Search Beneath the Babylonian Soil

A furious Bush gave an urgent speech at the UN Headquarters
demanding that they must search beneath the Babylonian 
soil and bring proof of any hidden nuclear weapon;
Brian Haw, as many, honestly believed that there were none...
why didn't  Blair and Golden believe his words?


Soon Iraq was invaded and bombarded and as night got colder,
frequent explosions lit up the blackest sky of the Middle East,
but they did not kill Saddam: the bearded, tyrannical beast....
he would be found in a filthy bunker with a limited supply of food and water;
why did he flee and hide into that unlivable hole like a persecuted priest?      
His execution was horrendous, but justice was done for his crimes
and whether he had nuclear weapons and later dismantled them in secret 
to avoid sanctions and alienation: one thing is for certain he's no longer a threat;
he was loved by some, but hated by many...was his power based on lies?
An angry president was appeased, but a defeated tyrant had to meet a horrible fate!

Falling Into Lifes Sad Pit

I'm teetering along the edge
Of a long and deep sharp ledge
One more push and I will drop
Can someone please help me stop
The pain everyday that follows
Me into more bad tomorrows
That will not leave me alone
I would like to just be shown
What it's like to wear a smile
It has been too long a while
Since my days were filled with joy
Thinking fates out to destroy
Every ounce of happiness
Until there is nothing left
To live for and dream about
I just want to scream and shout
Take away all the dark clouds
Giving me the love allowed
That I see looking so grand
I want to hold someones hand
Feeling the soft warm rush
That makes my whole body gush
With sensations never felt
Because life has always dealt
A hand so unbearable
Days were too unlivable
For enjoying anything
My heart never got to sing
Any happy and fun tunes
Darkness and a lot of gloom
Is all I will ever feel
This world will never reveal
Any goodness night or day
I will just crawl up and stay
Tightly wrapped up in a ball
Until it's my time to fall
Into a nice peaceful slumber
My lonely life finally over

Ode To Tsunami

Roaring anger through great seven seas 
erupted as spiteful giant water columns 
Swept off  fragile nations to oceans 
You ! the most cruel catastrophe of all 
Turned suburbs along seaboards to graves 
Naked bodies decayed among their own rubbles 
Once  paradises changed to unlivable grounds 
You! fateful miracle engulfed loving kith and kin 
Scattered carcasses gave out foul reeks 
Rescuers buried them in mass graves 
Crows and foxes devoured  untimely preys 
You! mindless wonder created such horrible scenes 
Orphanages filled by infants,kids and elders 
None could erase their unforgettable memories 
Blockaded their glowing future for ages 
You! mighty disaster made them stand still 
Wonderful tales about mermaids and leviathans 
skills and talents on gears and crafts 
carried to sea among laments of fishing folks 
You! heartless monster made mother Earth sadden

Wings of Lead

on wings of lead some shall fly
not to soar but to fall
weighed down by the burdens of life
they tumble out of control
unable to stop or slow down
the pain of life to much to bear
some don’t even care
they are lost and will not be found
their lives seem meaningless
doomed to an eternal wandering
there are those that soar
and those that fall
save yourself I’ll tell you 
while you still can 
for I am falling to
wishing I had done something so long ago
but now I’m falling and I cannot stop
nothing can stop me 
but hitting the bottom 
only death could stop me now
for I am falling and there is nothing to stop me
my life unlived and cut so tragically short
tragic to you maybe 
but freedom to me
no longer weighed down by the wings of lead
I am free of my pain 
pain so severe it made life unlivable
unable to soar with the rest
I fall as do so many
unable to keep up from the weight 
shackled to my misery and depression 
I pray for it to end quick
that I may be set free
free of what haunts me so gravely
the fear of life itself
