Vices Poems - Poems about Vices

The virtues, sacrificed By muscling vices, Lay dying Across the dusty crusts of Earth. The sky, once admirably azure, Now bleeds dark streams of gray Above the sight of flying vultures Flapping, circling in wait....

I could be long I could be short I could be another line That didn’t have the time So all I did was wonder why You could see me and so I’d feel seen But I would still look the same You could know me and so I’d be known And yet I’d still be what...

The refrigerator door opens, the light illuminates the wine. Still we just can’t seem to comprehend, why we feel like crap all the time. Don’t speak before our morning coffee, just one more menthol cigarette. Half a dozen donuts for breakfast, and all the sugar we can get. But we go to church every Sunday, though we might nod off cause we’re bored. So...

There’s a good man deep inside me though most could never tell, when I’m brawlin’ with the devil drinkin’ booze and raisin’ hell. Satan grins and taunts me it seems he won’t backdown, a good man wants to get free but the whip - it does come down! I knew I had a slim chance once things had gone awry to crack his whip with...

now that the sun says goodbye and the bodies begin to fall from the buildings, we meet with knives in hand and we shattered some more of the Earth. motels swallow cravings in pairs, the corners spew sins and a cup sanctifies Bacchus. by the table the teeth chew the cigarettes and the news, the conversations and our vices, the words and the cowardly...

Like the rainbow in the sky our life is full of lie. You think the rain has gone away but it may come another day… Like the water in the lake our life is full of fake. You think the bottom is so clear but you’ll swim and disappear… Like the weather on the Planet our life is full...

Anger hurts the one whose angry, More than you can know. It grows and festers like a sore, Till love no longer shows. Hatred soon becomes the norm, Because of hurts and slights, Which took their place most often, Just in our own sight. Envy of your neighbors, Envy of your friends, Jealousy of others, Where does it all end? For many reasons why and how, Our jealousy...

meagre mortal should scarce think he enjoys for eerie enjoyment only to unborns coil: punctured pleasure easing pain does not sit you in leisure's taunted train do you think you've won punctured patience? yet you've begotten sassy sentience! if a gaunt grape tree bears pear what's your contention, or boar bear? trade not lanky love with a lout make moaning ocean her pool, she'll...

Rights and wrongs Too entangled A war is fine Kill for peace Unable to judge As virtue just died Love and hatred Wrongly blend Hate to love Or love to hate Sums up in hate Self confused. Lies and truths Inseparable pals Lying to live Or living to lie life so absurd As credibility lost Logic and myth Rationale rare Religion reins men God an excuse To suppress men As...

I writhe in ambiguity Though the past would send their best My will is lazily over-thrown As I build my own gallows I hit bedrock-- Yet still, frantically dig with more fervor My mind is an empire on the brink of collapse With Regret as my only ally I threw my aspiration to the wolves Dreaming is but a subtle luxury: 'My vivid hallucination of...

Money has functions four Exchange, value, deffered costs and store It adds to more power in life For more wealth, luxury and pride Gold and perfume are assured And our family future is secured Yet more is aimed with lotto tickets Put debit and credit cards in pockets As most gifts are given in cash And shopping is never a rash Friends multiply as riches...

Many longs to hear What I have to say. But my lips never care To have the words sprayed. Many want to see my view And know my stand But the germinating clue Will make me strand. Many have said to me: 'What are you hiding from us'. But i can feel, That none can be trust. Many care to know All about me. And some just follow To from...
