Observational poetry offers social commentary on subcultures, war, poverty, street life and politics. Along with social poems, you'll also find poetry here which explores the natural world. This broad category has poetry about everything to do with the way the world works (or doesn't work).

What part of piss off you racist Karen Brits and Gammons don't you pillocks understand?
By Stanley Collymore
And for those of you that quite
obviously maintain the rather
feigned notion that Meghan
doesn’t come or go to the UK principally
because she actually knows, she’s very
disliked; and therefore will accordingly
be, by your sort, simply openly booed;
ask yourselves, this obviously, clearly
put logical question, if you’ve got the
actually needed minimal brain power
required to do so! Additionally, what
intelligent person and, undoubtedly,
of whom, Meghan is quite certainly
among that...

THE ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.

Only criminals and the very rich get special judicial treatment in the UK!
By Stanley Collymore
Jamie Barrow a 32 year old clearly
remorseless and unrepentant
mass murderer has had
his criminal conviction quite evidently
significantly reduced by three British
Appeal Court judges actually simply
because In the evidently sick minds
patently of Jamie Barrow, obviously
his lawyer and the judges, this truly
evil murderer's actual earlier prison
term was adjudged by them clearly
to be literally manifestly excessive!
This rather odious, obviously racist
bastard effectively really...

People are a disease
People shuffling past me like corpses to stupid to die
Their clothes hold their guts in
Fear holds in the rest
Running like rats
Scurrying through waste paper and filth to their holes before the sun goes down
They have umbilical cords of sewage wrapped around their throats
Choking on life, nursing their wounds
They'll tell you that they're loving every minute of it
Just like prisoners come to love their captors
Just like roaches in a roach motel
Tasting the poison, telling you it's wine
Their clothes hold their guts in
Fear holds in the rest
Running like rats
Scurrying through waste paper and filth to their holes before the sun goes down
They have umbilical cords of sewage wrapped around their throats
Choking on life, nursing their wounds
They'll tell you that they're loving every minute of it
Just like prisoners come to love their captors
Just like roaches in a roach motel
Tasting the poison, telling you it's wine

Without sounding...How should I put this? I think you are addicted to
Cheetos. It became noticeable when I saw you and your grandpa blowing
orange dust up your noses. You said that you were having a snack break
while shining your Harley. Why didn't you put a shine on your mom's
Kawasaki?
There is something in the orange coloring. It goes along with the urge to
castrate yourself. Don't you think it peculiar that you named fido, Barry
Manilow. Who told you that Cheetos were anatomically correct? The same
can be said for...

The Seagull Poet
Out of the shadows
Hatched in a Nest
And into the light
Of the goldfish bowl
Have stayed, at the Stade
As seagulls wade
As the seas wave
From across the pebbly beach
By the fishing huts
And boats by their side
And cliff railways
And castle ruins
Where-in Hastings history lies
As new histories begin
Even as we perform
Reflections of our lifes
Interpretations of the norm
Squawk! screech! squawk!
Said the seagull poet
He's after your food
And don't you just know it
But i look to the tumbling...

Why tell the truth, when lies are far more interesting and convincing?
By Stanley Collymore
Nearly five months on and quite evidently still distinctively in solid silence, bless her patriotic heart, and actually counting; the dutiful mother, simply ever loving wife and patriotic citizen, Kate is unquestionably at home rather ardently, obviously recovering from her quite non-existent cancer, and as she well knows, distinctly like Charles and William do too, there's nowt better to boost your deservingly flagging popularity than a concerted act of simply, cynically induced sympathy; and therefore with cancer being as obviously ubiquitous; but, all the...

Mental liberation is clearly a construct that's alien to every feudal, serf Briton!
By Stanley Collymore
Why should a highly educated
and a discernibly mentally
clearly unquestionably
and a distinctively, thoroughly liberated
African American like Meghan actually
return to a place like Britain that really
is so staunchly inundated with feudal
mindset serfs, subjects, and multiple
plebeians that has been, and literally
still continues to be hateful towards
her, crucially because she's actually
quite essentially different! Meghan,
essentially has nothing to prove by
being there! And...

We who live in the west
do not see Israel as a colonial power
the last one in the Middle East
As many colonialists before Israel
this unlawful occupation will end
and when the dust settles, a new
the state will appear we can do business
with and hold song contests
Israel is the last gasp of this white

So far, more than forty thousand
Palestinians killed in this miasma
of evil intent, but no one calls
Israel is a terrorist state that must
be eradicated
While Hamas, who fight...
