Best Dystopian Poems

Dystopian  

When I see in modern homes, blank walls
not disturbed by art, the center of peace 
an outside sofa for a whole family to sit
until a dad is arrested for child abuse
In the building, most families have gone 
on a few days holiday, at the same...

Sweeping through what once was mine
Gazing at this ravaged shrine
Composing the vitals in thoughts divine
Cut my losses and bleed through time
Here I'll stand along these lines

Chimerical dreams in the hands of Morpheus
Acidic tears that corrode the capricious
Inscrutable plans that defy the obvious
Vanishing ties that remove...

Shattered bottled up dreams
strewn in callous fashion,
litter those Tobacco roads
of man-made poverty
Cancerous amorality
is the accepted dystopian reality
Majority rule by the metal ballot law ... 
second finger got a gun pressed to the jaw
Diablo destiny decree:
Dos digital corrects any uno analog flaw
This warped sensibility
is the venal...

It is warmer

In Paris 
They talk about
The weather
Eat frugally 
Hamburgers made of 
Indian cows
Turnips from Sweden 
Potatoes
From Holland 
Gobbledegook
And sign on
The dotted line....

The landscape has been clouded by dust
The skyline vanishes as the definition
Between the hope of sky
And the dismal reality of the ground 
Pervades and creeps

The red luscious heart
Is tempered, not fully destroyed
Shadows creep in the debris
Thoughts of that past life
Flickering in the enforced dusk

Memories of...

this death will be the life of me
patches in the sky
we used to call them clouds
before the bombs went off
and canopied us in a toxic shell; 
the artist swapped his brush
for a brick
and threw it in tantrum
from a distance 
at some cheesy idyllic canvas
and despite...

The immortal cards of your metaphors haunted me endlessly. Thus, i haven't moved in years.  Sitted in a balcony whose walls were extensions of purgatory, here, i  fished for mars and mercury as i remembered your mosaic eyes with that licorice scent. Yeah,...

In years to come it might be said,
‘I never realised this is where it led,
It just crept up, I just went with the flow 
Nobody told me how things would go’.

Nobody explained what I took for granted
Would be taken, by those who commanded
That I conform...

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....

Walk with Me 

I made my way
Through the darkened streets
Past the hungry hearts
Where the enemy eats 

I browsed through glass
At my dear old friends
Where their silent smiles
Replace love that mends 

And I somehow feel
Like I'm missing out
Like there's something wrong
Like I want to shout 

Your...

Last Day of America 

the last day of America 
was the day we last voted
the last election we ever had

for on that day
a month before 
the corona virus re-emerged

as the great re-opening 
of the US economy
failed to stop the relentless spread
of the virus from hell

causing...

Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled 
An okay is needed for anything at all 
Manipulating truth determines your life
Erasing individuality is part of your strife 
Robotic neurotic, emotionless choice, nary a voice
Force proles...

A kaleidoscope of transcendent rhythms
Envelop my soul from the well-spring of a mystical
and majestic refrain.

Notes exalted in the heart of the awakened one
Only to be extinguished by the cruel masters of 
memory and time, which give way to a dystopian
perspective incessant and ominous in its...

I am being forced to live
With horrible malformations
On my body
In my body
I am stuck with them for years
For who knows how long

The people want me dead
Simply for existing
They claim it is in the name of the children
But I am a child
Being forced to grow up

And...

I never voted, anyhow supported, never trusted
Those who rule now
Yet I am claimed responsible
Over the deeds of people I never trusted
And my name is not Josef K.
In the light of the absurdity of what’s happening, 
The catastrophe of the rational and the triumphs of the...
