Soldiers marching, single file
Survival is the lasting purpose
The never-ending, gruelling trial
An insignificant microcosm
Specks of life shrunk out of view
A forgettable addition to creation
Could these ants be me and you? Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 10 October 2005Remember, remember the 5th November
Wholesome family fun
The re-enactment of a brutal death
To share with old and young
Remember, remember the 5th November
Cremation is the theme
Patriotism has reached a new low
When we can paint this scene. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 01 October 2005The faceless masses march to work
Slaves to the machine
Just a number and a name tag
Trapped in their routine
Outwardly, family-centred
But people are commodities
Your lifestyle is a liquid asset
To the service industry. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 20 September 2005Jesus died upon the cross
And rose again; miraculous
How should we observe this day?
Bear in mind, he died for us
Chocolate fertility for the kids
Eggs, rabbits and daffodils
Seasonal gluttony bathed in cocoa
No rugged cross upon a hill
Commercialised but so religious
The point was never lost on us
Stuff your face, for it is Easter
It’s nothing to do with Jesus. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 26 December The winter solstice convoluted
Pretends to be a Christian feast
Raped of meaning, drowned in tinsel
As the star shines in the East
All are merry, out of pocket
Exchanging presents void of thought
No gesture just an obligation
'Tis the season to be bought
Hark the herald angels sing
A saviour's born and no one cares
The sacrilegious time of getting
When Santa Claus receives your prayers
Whatever happened to religion?
The cola man took Jesus' place
What started as a great tradition
Has disappeared without a trace. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 10 January 2006Sophisticated modern man
Self-empowerment is his plan
Sells his soul to corporate chains
But never cares for what he gains
Ruler over land and beast
Destroys them all to make his feast
Rapes the world to plant his seed
A mindset built on lust and greed
The earth is fragile; kill the weak
Paradise is for the meek
Spirituality can be bought
Though your future may be fraught
Sophisticated modern man
Pays the price for his lifespan
His kingdom crumbles at his feet
The world destroyed; he claims defeat. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 18 September 2005Long days lying on the beach
Tanning in the sun
Splashing water in the sea
Children having fun
Blistered, cracking, flaking skin
Pealing from my back
Sweat-drenched clothing clinging close
The skin begins to crack. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 20 September 2005Pouring poison down your neck
Inhibition is the goal
Never mind the damaged cells
Forget that this will take its toll
Wild flirtation with a stranger
Intimacy for a night
No one cares about fulfilment
If it feels good, it must be right. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com 25 October 2005Have you read the news today?
The nation needs to know
About who won a football match
It's more than just a show
Have you kept yourself informed
About celebrity lives?
Actors on their honeymoon
Singers cheating on wives
Murder can be second place
Poverty is old news
A dying child can share a page
With this week's film reviews
The superficial priority
That we can't live without
A tabloid bible to the stars
To whom we are devout. Rate this Poem @ GotPoetry.com |
