Unliveable Poems | Examples


A Griot's Prospectus

I was born like any man
And look how different we use the day
To toll our lives against the sand
Through hour glass running away
In sterile classrooms fettered to pride
I wasted my years to hear men say
There goes a scholar open the gate wide
Only to learn it's not that way
There are boundaries invisible
And rules indelible 
And ancient nonesense without decay
My mother lived without degrees
And I more than her is miserable
Not contented to dissect the bees
On wages unliveable
Where would I be without praying knees
For I too shall die like any man
A mere phantom on the mind's rough seas
No different than when our life began.

Why

Ive tryed to learn 
Ive tryed to fly
all you seem to want
is for me to cry
Tryed to run
tryed to hide
you love my pain
youll love when I die
I said I would follow you to the end of time
but if you dont step up this heart well stay mine.
I wake every moring to only pain
my life is unliveable 
why wont this change
I dont want heaven
nore live in hell
just remove this life
form this cell
stop my time
stop my pain 
noone knows
to them is all the same
But I have to wake every day to other peoples happiness
so fuk your games 
Ill die alone if thats the only way
what can i do. 
when my little sister curses you.
Maybe shes right!
