Best Scourge Poems

This dread disease that has afflicted my home, 
This malady, this plague on my house;
This making convertible the former quaintness and provincialism thereof 
Into something wholly despicable and disgustingly homogeneous,
Yclept "cosmopolitanism," and "worldliness," and "globalization," 
(Or, perhaps "globalism");
That force of rude power that recognizes no...

A scourge
Of mankind.
Hate
A person
Before we talk and walk
That is no way Right.
It is every way Wrong.
want a special
kind
Of prejudice.
wish  to pre-judge
Everyone
beautiful
Lovely
gorgeous
Redeemed
Forgiven
And
love them
feel them
like them
Before speak to them
Or hear them speak.
Before know them personally
who they are.
from where
what color
what cast
what creed
My special own
Prejudice....

The meanest man in town,
That everybody feared.
Shot anybody down,
When anybody neared.

The scourge of the West,
And the ultimate sinner.
The Devil gets the best,
From Dirty Dick Skinner.

Had a scar on his cheek,
With a patch on his eye.
He'd prey on the meek,
And make women cry.

His bad whiskey breath,
Made...

My shoulders are alive with dandruff
Been blessed with it since I was a pup
Why me I shout
This frustration I spout
Maybe shove dandruff shampoo up my butt

God,these companies are a scourge!
Please stop ringing me
is all I urge.
Ringing me every day,
why don't you
just go away.
I don't want to take
your call,
I might not 
answer it at all.
So please don't ring me anymore,
like I've told you,
loads before.
If you ring me
one more time,
I'll have no...

Tired of the sufferation
Real menace of earths apparition
Dont judge me with my appearance
We are the great ones
No time to mingle with pagans
No religion 
I believe in no legion
Tread the right road even if in poverty
Try hold on in this world of calamity
Even though we work...

I sit on a chair facing a round table
    Bones weak, muscle aches- unable
    I lay my hands on my lap
    Thoughts of prayer, I grab
    Seeking help from start to end

as you stand still, i move within and throughout you, slipping into the spaces you have yet to discover about yourself. 
i cling to the hollowed spaces, sinking my teeth into the soft, immature lining of your personality, and i fill those secret parts of...

It started when he coughed.
Then we made jokes and laughed,
Hoping the curse we are is vindicated.
But the malady on lungs it feasted.
In its toxic smolder we chocked.
Rich and poor our doors we locked
In desperate timid fear
Of its heinous air scare
Disguising as fever it tripped
Through air...

Heroin, China white, or just smack, took him
into lost dreams and an altering of gritty reality
Chasing the dragon, didn’t seem enough
to balm a wounded psyche
Losing to lust demons
An iconic face of his late father
A boy destined to see an assassination
Shot at the hands, 
of Sirhan...

Pandemic raging around our world
Covid-19, Delta and Omicron
Deny it not too many interred
Don't drop the ball we will fight on.

True we have rights but remember this
We're fighting unseen merciless foe
Forget about freedoms that's not remiss
Sickness, death, and long-Covid woe.

Yes indeed lies have been spun
Hospitals full...

The glass ball slips from my grasp

Broken shards scrape the surface

I let the ground taste my tears

The droplets leave behind unmarked graves...
