Dark Poems by Top Critiquers

You listen son, and you listen good.
Don't mention that boy,
is that understood?

None of us here will emit his name,
nor speak of that day, so do the same.
It's a peaceful town,
so keep it that way!

We've got nothin to do with guilt or shame.

That boy was a troublemaker,
I know that firsthand.
At your young age, I doubt you'd understand.

His vile negro mouth spewed disgusting chatter,
the boy went missing,
but nevermind the matter!

And the Tallahatchie River
where the huge tree stood......

I was a kid when I looked up at the sky
I was a kid when I pointed my finger at that star
I was a kid when I made that solemn vow that night
I was just a little kid with a big dream
A small body with a huge energy
I was innocent but my eyes were a mystery
All that was flashing through my mind was success
I was feeling a twinge of envy for those TV superstars
I was praying to god help me confess
Until that day when courage filled my heart
And my lips finally whispered my plan
Mama, I do remember that look in your eyes, ...

I Been So Gone I Did Not Know I Survived

I Been So Dead I Did Not Think I Revived  
 
Resurrection Infection With Some Pre Direction  
 
Election Without Any Self Determined Inspection  
 
Or Schooling Of What Should Be By Me Correction  
 
I Want To Choose From More Than This Selection  
 
Or I May Feel What Is Described Is Still Unsatisfied  
 
And Leaves Me Deprived Yet Still In Overdrive Suicide  


 
 

O dearest halo,  
 
The final  toll from the bell  
Let me hang on thee so well
Until my face grows white n pale  
Take me far from this ol' hell  

Grim Reaper, my dearest saviour  
With you i know there is no greater
The stroke of midnight and no later
This cold death as thou must cater

Thus the noose becomes thine halo  
In the low skies hangs my grey soul
Tis my last breath?, I'm afraid so
Sheltered in my new found grave hole
