Some Poetry

Here’s some incredibly awful poetry that I’ve written. I’m bored and felt like sharing.

 

Warning: some of it is political, so some of you are bound to disagree. Please do so respectfully.

 

Also, this is original content, so please do not steal it. 

 


A Colossus Fallen
“Give me your tired,"
So long as their Visa hasn’t expired

 

“Your poor, “
Just make sure they don’t move next door

 

“Your huddled masses, “
But make sure that their skin tone passes

 

“Yearning to breathe free, “
First, pay a naturalization fee

 

“The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, “
Only if their country of origin isn’t at war

 

“Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, “
As long as they’re a famous artist, or have a PhD

 

“I lift my hand beside the golden door!”
The door to a nation whose heart beats no more
 


Hamlet’s Misjudgement
What does it mean to be human?
Shakespeare debated -- "To be or not to be?"
What if he was asking the wrong question?
What if the choice were not so binary?

 

This illustrates an original misconception
But we have no time for this dishonesty
Let the era of Hamlet's misjudgement be done
Now we must ask -- "How best to be?"

 

For we are here, and this issue is pressing
Death is always near, and this life is a blessing
Squander not your days, lest you soon forget
You can die a million ways; what will be your epithet?

 

When the children of posterity tour your skeletal avenue
As they meander aimlessly betwixt the gravestones
And their eyes wander to a plot meant for you
What words will be etched six feet above your bones?
 


Here & Not There
These moments sustain me
For my lungs are full of stolen air
My feelings betray me

For this world is so full of despair

 

Why am I here and not there?

 

I do not know why I get to live
When others die without reason
I do not know what I can give

To earn myself another season

 

Why am I here and not there?

 

If good people rot in hell
And others starve on Earth

How, then, can I live well?
How can I prove my worth?

 

Why am I here and not there?

 

For what reason do I live
If not to serve and to fight
Surely something will give
If I work until my very last light

~~~Honestly … This is absolutely Fantastic~

You have such a Familiar nuance that distinguishes your Poetry. I love how you keep your poetry grounded in Reality, while also Citing some Famous works (Such as Hamlet/Shakespeare). You have your own unique flow, yet draw from influence of the Greatest theatrical works, and yet your Poise is defined enough to differentiate. I was a bit perturbed at the dark undertones of your work, yet that Cast feelings and contemplation over me which is what a successful Poet can do..

Overall I think your poetry is Sublime and would definitely Care to see more. 

~!Cheers!~

(P.S I do not believe life is as Dreary as it may seem, I also belief Death is a Gateway into the next step of an Eternal Journey. I hope you see the Joy in life Friend~!) ~~~
