Nasty Poem.
This mucky word
combination I have crafted
All my vileness I used
when this was drafted
I aim for a delectably
desecrated display of prose
With a vulgar rhythm
hurtful enough to wilt a rose
The aim of this depraved
tirade
Simply to rain on your
parade
You see I think you’re
weak and foolish
And you sir your face
looks quite ghoulish
You over there with the
silly hair
And I won’t say anything
about the people over there
I don’t look the like of
you much
Not going to refrain from
saying such
I wish you would all just
leave
The presence of you makes
me wish to heave
But truth be told I’m
rather lonely and scared of rejection
So I push people away and
look for an adverse reaction
Really I would have liked
to have had a chat
But I never learnt how to
handle that
I actually think you look
friendly
But being nice is not
trendy
See the thing is this we
live by example
My examples of meanness
have been ample
And being the meanest can
offer protection
You give me meaning.
Without you I would be
plain and without purpose
For it’s not until you
come along
And touch me that I can
transform into a song
A sonnet, poem or prose
Without you I express
nothing
I am unfulfilled until you
complete me
You transform me from
potential into something
That can carry an idea and
create or record history
Without you my pen I would
be but plain paper
Younger wisdom.
I forgot a lot of valuable
things as I got older
I lost some of my
happiness and freedom and my heart seems to have grown colder
When I was a little boy I
dreamed big and believed I could be anything one day
I was truly happy climbing
trees and did not worry about things like hours or pay
Now I am not even sure I
am good at being me and worry what others think
No longer do I just sit
and stare at the world in wonder, nowadays I would get upset if I covered my
new suit in ink
I want to get ahead and
have a career, but I dreamt of being a poet, geologist, writer, adventurer or
good old fashioned knight
So tonight upon realising
this I avowed to change and return to my childish ways,
it was an epiphany truly as if I had seen the light
it was an epiphany truly as if I had seen the light
So on my day off I am
going to lie in not read the paper, and for breakfast cocoa puffs and
thundercats
I’m going to the shop
with a whole £2, to deliberate on how many sweets I can get then I’m
going to wear fun clothes and a silly hat
I will wake up knowing the
world is mine, I can be anything that I want I can do anything I want
even leave my crusts
even leave my crusts
I won’t conform any longer to all these
silly musts
I will walk around in
funny manners as I find it funny and it’s good to use your body I
know, we all know this instinctively
I will begin to naturally
think more positively
I won’t bear long
created grudges, instead I will play with sand and glitter and shiny things
I think adopting this
approach I will thaw my frozen heart, then I can start to concentrate
on growing wings.
Word nonsense.
A whimsical outburst of
disconnected words
Scurried out in maddened
herds
They ran along in lines
Like drunken swine’s
Weaving about with
promiscuous meanings
Be careful for they have
poetic leanings
But with them lacking a
purpose
They are just a lot of
discourse
There goes the last of
them now
Well the poem has to end
somehow.
The poet’s night out.
This cunning linguist so
loquacious is he
His lascivious tongue
moves freely
He speaks with freedom and
rhyme
Moving his ideas line by
line
Drunk on speech as if it
were fine wine
He will charm her if he
can
Free roaming existing
without a strict plan
Becoming jovial and
sentimental as the drunkenness progresses
For she has caught the
poets eye a eulogy to her he professes
For he is having a joyous
time and her beauty is so magnificent
Though he acknowledges
this evening and its merriment is transient
As all things are, and in
the morning when the wine has been drunk
The words spent memories
blurred and the brain is pure funk
But for that short period
he promises a dance in words and ideas
Wrapping each other in
ecstasy and temporarily letting go of fears
Lost in the process of
conveying and interpreting meaning
For a short experiential
moment we can keep each other dreaming.
But she is a realist and
falls not for his dialectical
Explaining she wants
something that is real not theoretical.
So it seems that having
your way with words can be much easier
The cost was us.
Sad and worried brain
Tired and drained
Overly serious and caught
in thought
I smile far less than I
ought
I try to laugh and enjoy
life
But recently it has been
pure strife
You wanted more than I
could give
And I hope you will
forgive
I retreated and hid in
solitude
When I started to fall
into this downward mood
I was trying to make
things right
I pride my self on
fighting the good fight
I could not let it be
Maybe that was the final
blow for you and me
We started to compete with
one another
Your requests and pleas
for me to change began to smother
I lost my confidence and
voice you lost faith and felt I was disinterested
I grow weary and
distressed
Our fighting grew more
frequent and intense
It was no longer possible
to sit on the fence
I did not know the way for
us to go
And my feelings I could
not show
So came the time when we
had to part
And in our own directions
depart.
I am glad we could remain
amicable
It has helped me remain
stable
I am sad it happened as it
did
And from you I hid
I felt unable to pursue my
course fitting around you
I think you felt the same
about me that I was not doing what you wanted me too
I will change my situation
regain the, me I lost
I’m just sad that we
were the cost
Pre-contemplative
drunk.
Now I just keep going over
and the same old thoughts
Resentments
disappointments and oughts
No matter how hard I drain
this glass, I can’t get it out of my head
The pain unforgiving
anxiety and dread
I keep looking back over
all the wrong that was done to me and the wrong I have done to others
The torment and abuse lack
of love and care fighting stealing and manipulating
I hide from the world my
body and my future and past, I shall lie here silently under the
covers
I find life quite
frustrating and debilitating
Still it’s been so long
since I existed in the now
My interests have dwindled friendship
groups shrunk
I want to change but I
lack the strength and don’t know how
So to ease the aching and
oppressive feelings I get drunk
Disordered and unchecked
emotions lead me to drinking these poisonous potions
Scared that I will die
unloved and not even missed
Days pass blurring into
one I’m out of touch just going through the motions
That is the real reason I
shout and scream and bawl and cry and seem perpetually pissed
I know it needs to stop
its killing me and those who care about me, and this choice
However I shall, I will
fight this illness, madness and sadness
I shall let these
ruminations go, learn to regain my voice
Carved messages.
I carve mandalas and
intricate patterns all over me
Patterns of anger and
upset but I feel little pain
It is not for lack of
paper that I carve this writing into me
I am also despite what
others think not insane
Where else is better to
write your story but on yourself?
Whoever sees me can read
my stories and view my art
Life’s experience have
harmed my mental health
I am suffering from a
broken heart
So when I take up my knife
and feel the cut
I am trying to communicate
I am and have been hurt.
Money.
Bourne of boredom and
indifference
Mine has aft been a path
of defiance
I don’t share the values
of this place
I do not wish to play in
the rat race
I value experiences real
The concepts of money I
find surreal
It is of course just a
concept an idea
So how can the lack of it
cause such fear?
The reasons simple we
share belief and that makes it real
This ratifies and
validates the deal
The ideas of the minority
however true lack power
So our belief in money
suspend the ivory tower
It has not always been
this way
So I have faith that one
day
We shall awake from our
slumber
A new world we can render
For if we stop to think
can money make a meal?
Can money make you feel?
What is really of true
worth?
Tiny bits paper and metal
If you had no concept of
it you’d think it mental
If money was so valuable why should we
be so quick to transfer it?
For as soon as you have
you it spend it
Night writer.
Do you too find the words
come quicker in the night?
When waking and dreaming
come together and the imagination takes flight
A cacophony of thoughts
and phrases rise within my mind
It seems they refuse to
stay in me confined
They form together quick
and fast
Fighting to be heard at
last
I used to find it a
nuisance
My mind at night pure
verbal dissonance
You see the thing with
words is that they are vain
In their quest to be heard
they can drive a man insane
This is the reason now
every night before I sleep I write
Political Monotony.
Modern day conundrum
Who do I believe in the main parties all sound humdrum
Plenty of rhetoric but lacking in substance
What is the oppositions fighting stance?
The financial institutions are free to do as they please
Phrases I have heard lately austerity cuts and pay freeze
The message I am getting is we have had it too good
So we will have to pay more for fuel, housing and food
And though the cost of living keeps on rising
More cuts loom on the horizon
They are going for the NHS the Youth Service and Civil Servants
I fear they would like to turn us all into archetypal peasants
The unemployment figure keeps on growing
Fuel poverty means that some folks need to fear when it starts
snowing
The DWP is running show trials to cut the number claiming sickness
benefit
They are less interested in fairness than the targets they must hit
Housing allowance has been significantly lowered
Dismantling of the safety net Tory and recession powered
JSA applicants undertaking the work programme will provide their
labour for free
Earning less than the minimum wage for their efforts that seems
immoral to me
Homelessness services and charities forced to fight for funding
Will cut costs to win their tendering
The homeless numbers are rising the youth are becoming
disenfranchised
Self interest and the profit motive seem to have backfired
The Point of view of a peaceful warrior.
As I sit back and ponder, I can not help but wonder
Where did we, I mean society go so wrong and our values and ethics go for such a wander
Businesses and politicians want to rob and hurt us
The newspapers are filled with lies and misdirection infected pus
The people don't speak to one another and no one wants to share
Have we all given in have we forgotten how to care?
Overhead you can hear the great steel bird the eye in the sky
Also we all know that the bank and the government have stolen from you and I
The situation is not a depression its just plain depressing
So I ask why do we accept these false profits and words like recession
Truth is we can start to improve the world right now no need for tomorrow
Speak with your neighbors go with peace and keep your mind wide not narrow
Well I wish you all the best either you take it as it comes or you stick to your guns
You can regain authorship or your life and your story may have just begun
Give it a go try and I guarantee you will be one step closer to that elusive state... Happy
Well its my last line so please I beseech you wake up stand up for your rights, oh and make it snappy.

A naff poem.
I wrote a shoddy poem once it took me little thought
I cobbled it together from things I was taught
The rhyming was sloppy and the speeeling was werse
Whenever I recited it I kept it terse
And well It failed to express anything in the way I had sought.
Disclaimer.
I taste of smoke and secrets
Just like them I can't be kept
I am transient like those stolen moments
The insomniac who barely sleeps
A restless pen
A restless mind
A little bit shitty ever now and then
But still one of the nicest people you will find.
Intro
Hi my name is Eep mu langolo and I am a giant panda, I am not real, I am the figment of a strange mans imagination and an image from some chinese snack. I appear to have confused bamboo for something else. Notice the eyes and the chocolate biscuits. Well it is a blog called rambling in the night. Enjoy earth being.
