Waste Of Time Poems - Poems about Waste Of Time

Don't waste my time
The ambush came in back to back The train that came was right on track To me, this feels like blasphemy I won't stay how they wanted me When I die Will I leave by their design? I'm not sure if I'd wanna know so Tell me a lie To me, this feels like blasphemy That I can't breathe at all It's just a waste of time...

She wanted to teach kids, so she went to R.S.U. Much of it indoctrination, she didn't know what to do She could walk out and forego her degree Or play along, hide her views, and be less free He put his boys in a school, that once was good But it didn't teach the basics it should They told his boys...

Premium Member Do Not Waste Your Time with that Antiquated Tunnel
The antiquated train tunnel had not been working for years. Paranormal researchers asked about it, but we did not encourage them. No one I knew had seen anything strange or weird there. I have clairaudient tendencies, and I had not heard anything. But they insisted on trying go conjure up something. I was amazed when I saw their completed documentary. Because...

A Waste of Time But To Others It Was Sublime
I've always believed that I was aware of where my thoughts lie and that they often arrive unbidden, as a foe or friendly ally. Sometimes grabbing my attention, sifting around in my mind, even those I attempt to suppress, the ones I feel are unkind. Do thoughts lead to awareness or is it the other way around? I pondered the...

Premium Member A Waste of Time
Sometimes I think my life a waste of time That I have accomplished nothing of note, When I observe those with lives sublime I fear I am stuck in a backwood remote. My mind becomes overwhelmed with fear That I may leave this life without a legacy With all I have accomplished left at a bier, Where some have labeled all mendacity. Yet...

Premium Member Maybe Not a Waste of Time
I had an elementary education degree; it was worthless. Too many people had one – there were thirty-seven substitute teachers in my town. Everybody and their brother had this degree. A total waste of my time. I decided to go back to school after a guidance counselor talked me into it. To be – ha! A guidance counselor. I was not...

We live in a world of time everything is controlled by the clock always looking to see where it's at engagements band meetings in its lock Social media is not my scene at all whatever it is Twitter, Instagram or Facebook people wanting to tell all that they think nothing is secret not even how we look What do people want to know...

Waste of Time
The grief left its mark In too tender souls, It doesn't matter how old we are, We all don't like to listen. There are a lot of lies around, To break our will, And everyone says: "Don't be sad», And I'm running alone in the field again. Wild thoughts are pounding in my head, Which sometimes frighten the soul. And these thoughts carried me Where the...

Waste No Time
We were friends for years Then you alarmingly disappeared With no notice, no warning To my heart, it's jarring It's pierced my inner core I won't be seeing you anymore We always planned to have that drink And carry on about the good ole days I know you're in a better place I don't know why we stayed away When we were kindred spirits from...

Dots and line and blips on a page. Squiggles. Dashes. Swirls. Short and long ones. Some with loops. Others just plain plain. None meant anything to Charles. They never had. He had gotten along fine in forty-six years without reading anything at all. He knew numbers. He could add and subtract. Numbers was about money. They made...

Dont Waste Any Time
Time is such a fragile thing Not knowing what it will bring Each day holding something new Seconds, minutes, hours too Sometimes ticking by too fast We need to make it really last Sharing good times with our friends Never letting our love end Memories we wont forget Always forgive, don't regret The bad times that you might find Leave your worries far behind Laugh and smile...

As you turn to walk away, I will not ask you to stay. If that is what you expect me to do, then I have a surprise for you. I am relieved to see you go, But, I don't want it to show. I don't want you to see, any reaction at all from me. It would be a...

Don'T Waste Your Time
Don’t waste ya time And get yourself in a bind You will make mistakes And the outcome may not be great But it may not mean a thing Just take the experience it will bring And move on from it now You are better from the know-how. © Paul Warren Poetry...
