Best Dystopia Poems

Through the mire, lie rows of houses,
in fact there all around, 
This is suburbia the sprawl, 
Spreading in all directions,
Concrete and steel surge upwards, 
Indigenous trees bulldozed down,
Roads dark alleyways fester, 
Behold this was once my town. 

Weaving through leaky tunnels, 
Stench permeates foul air,
Organization...

Here a mansion, there a metal cube,
Now a street, and now a numbered route,
Here a faith and there an attitude,
Now pajama bottoms, now a suit –
So many colors blended into white!

I watch the people pass like frantic ants
All vaguely trusting that they share a hill,
As...

another day gone by
another thirty dead
until we rue the day
"what's exactly wrong with your head?"
please just psychoanalyze 
till someone else is gone again

another one in purgatory

another scream to murmur
another fifty murdered
until we can somehow figure
what kind of bliss comes from this
our lives will be spent...

Mogadishu ...
Black Hawk helicopter down
Caracas ...
Riots burning everything to the ground
New Orleans ...
Katrina tears has gotten many more drowned
Manila ...
Government death squads are roaming around

Global Dystopia
Earth frowns
Parents and children weeping,
sad mourning sounds
Everyday the sun comes up,
hope goes down

Bi’lin ...
Smouldering settlement protests sparks up
Baghdad ...
A covered...

“What is this strange place we find ourselves in
Trapped in the open, we are free within.” 
Perhaps a more interesting question we should ask...
If freedom can be won, how do we consummate the task?

Can it be found in a world that seems determined to drown?
Is...

Without further ado
i offer my literary missives anew
fur ye to ponder and brew
from meister mwm of his motley crue,
whom dwells in a nada very complex edifice
which numb burr oof offspring equals deux
whereby this spouse i.e me kind of resembles an emu
whence money a edified reader...

The long hard journey through
past to progress

These day's has far few many stops to make along it's tried and tested daily route to commute

As cutting costs has so many
uneconomic station laid bare
in it's path

Deemed unsustainable via 
accounting computer program
ledgers with countless bites
of memory to spare

Once...

Unity is illusionary,
A dystopia of thoughts and dreams
What is life but a fleeting thing in the grand scheme of things?
Freedom so precious and heavily bought 
cannot compare to one loving thought....

Oh, beautiful for racist lies,
And Amber Heard on trial,
For TikTok fueled insanity
While twerking Gangnam style.
Ambivalent dichotomies
Now shred my faith in thee.
And guns are good, 
Not brotherhood.
It’s plain for all to see.
We are free to achieve 
Our American dream
In the land of the craven,
The home of...

Made In America
Is a fable
By foreign companies
For
Gullible patrons
Who love
To call themselves
Patriots

Today a key
To unlock the apartment
Tomorrow
It will be
Your debit card
And
A credit score
Will float over your head

Kids go to school
Not in the latest fashion
Nor
Do they wear uniforms
No
School kids
Today they wear
Bullet-proof vests

No healthcare for all
But war! 
War...

Where’s a hero when we need one?
Get rid of the villain with a silly, little gun
I ricochet like the bullets that hit Superman,
But he was shielded best he can…best he can…

Driving through dystopia town, dystopia town
It will be deserted and damaged, no longer are we...

The age-old dream is a nightmare,
that has haunted us far too long,
still it lures in so many souls
with the sweetness of its song.
But beyond the simple melody
a darkness quickly appears,
those who preach of utopia
are the ones we should most fear.

It all starts out pleasant enough,
they...

In the end, it was the numbers that did us in.?
They lined us up into military rows and assigned us all numbers?
One after one after one after one after one….?
How many, nobody knows.?
You see, it’s a numbers game, it’s all the same
You’re not to blame,...

Half flesh, half steel, sinews and twined wire,
Begotten in the heat of half-love, tempered
By hatred and the axe, fathered by one
Who killed her mother, the male chauvinist boar
Whose eye-teeth, razor-sharp, saw through the spine, 
Joy-sword in sheath. Wrought iron, blood vessels,
Bone and cable, one part...

I hate this world I'm living in
I hate it to the core
I hate this world I'm living in
Can't take it anymore

The hate that sparks a genocide
Does anybody care?
The theft, the lies, the cover up
Is there much more to bear?

I hate this world I'm living in
A...
