Poetry please... more uplifting than Brexit. 16:23 - Sep 10 with 1407 viewsNthQldITFC

They gave me a box of tin soldiers,
to play with when I was in bed.
I got tired of my Sergeants and Corporals,
so I played with my Privates instead.

Your password is hatred
Your visions aren't real
Another commodity
Spinning the wheel
The wheel is your life
The vision is still
You're caught in a bowl
A trap made of steel
The hatred it flows
Loudly and clear
Untruthful ovation
Of something sincere
You mock all reality
You haven't a clue
If I was where you are
Then you'd suffer too

(Dyllers, aged 16)

Bona fide sixth form poetry, so take the piss all you like :) It was called Mr Tabloid.

(edit: I forgot four lines)

If you want sick poems
Then Dolly's your man
He's spitting those rhymes
Faster than hits from Jackie Chan

He's burning up his enemies like they've got the flu
Just FFS don't mention Glasgow Blue
Lots of time to think during his employment hiatus
They are close to screwing and changing relationship status

But hang on, a twist, it's Jeremy Corbyn
Their relationship flame extinguished before it could even begin
Posting backwards and forwards with such renewed malice
Dolly began a rebound fling with a user called Callis

Truly impaired.

Why would one want to leave the EU,
It's not always better to try something new.
Sometimes you never know how good things are,
Until you're looking over the fence from afar.

A sparrow woke me sweetly
As I lay asleep in bed;
I tiptoed to the window
And I smashed his f@cking head.

This one is all my own work

All poetry is cr@p
It is right up its own @rse
So forget your meter
Forget your rhythm
Forget your fvcking rhyme
Forget your couplets
Forget your sonnets
Just say what you mean
In prose
Because all poetry is cr@p

Don't boil a kettle on a boat.

I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
[Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer,
You're magnetic ink.
I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

Moody Blues, 1969
