Fancy Garbage: Your WORST Poetry/Writing

Post by Grey »

One man's garbage is another man's gold.
You know those times when you write what you thought was AWESOME then you look again and you're like WHAT THE HAY!
Well, even your worst poetry can be someone's greatest treasure.
Lift someone's spirit with one of your WORST writings: poetry is preferred.

Here's mine:

The world retaliates

I would rather die than see
The world
In all its puss and rubbish
Explode like a zit
On a teenager’s face.
The question is not how.
Not when.
Not even why?
There is no question.
It is going to happen
Whether by another World War
Or disease – let us call it Cancer’s Sister
Nay maybe Diabetes twin- Obesity
No maybe Natural disasters
Maybe the Earth with its greedy selfishness
Will swallow the corruption it has endured for so long
Swallow each and every one of us
Raining fire, spit, and bile
On the heads of the “innocent” humans
And why should we mourn?
Says the Angels and the lost souls of Earth
The victim to the cruelty – animosity of man
Man thinks he has evolved
That he is so much ahead of other creatures
It seems fit he die by his own hands
And soon by the hands of the Earth

.... I honestly don't know what possessed me to write such a depressing poem. But hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure.
