Poems About Ignorance by Top Critiquers

She believed everything I said
I took her up to the roof and told her she could fly because I asked God to grant her a special aviator's license.
Did you ever hear of something so goddamn stupid?
She did it
She fell like a fucking stone
Pretty stupid, even for a girl that was an amazing poet!
She was on this site from time to time

Going Ape
I love my smart phone
Some days it makes me feel dumb
When it out smarts me

Small Town Syndrome
i would rather be homeless
than live again in that town
i would rather you keep
your compliments to yourself
if it comes with that price
i don’t want your help
just because you’re nice
doesn’t mean you mean well

used
passed from one
to another,
a gift
of torment,
she hid away
her emotions,
drugging
her memories
so she can survive,
returning
to the scene
of the crime,
she is bled
as society
passes judgement
on her,
degrading her,
she loses her will
to keep fighting,
her desire to survive.

Tide Ride
a little swell
a splash and crash
a whimper
that's all
same stuff peddled
angst and nothing
when all's done
it's a big whole void
wind blowing between eyes
squinting at letters
jumbled abbreviations
swotted years for those
same old tepid liquid
left in dirty mugs
crumbled cookies
who cared anymore
reading tea leaves
thinking of magic wands
to return them all
to nowhere land.

The Paste Eater’s Grave
I.
In Goldfield, Nevada
there stands a stone-
unknown man
died eating library paste
July 14, 1908
The postmortem examination
revealed he was starved to death—
would have found the mixture sweet:
flour, water, 60% aluminum;
but, an entire jar a deadly treat
The only thing to his name
was a letter addressed to Ross ...

Mrs. Doubtfire
Feeling the burning honey slowly pour
From the white sands, the Heavenly skies, cast down to the beautiful shores
I suppose men would say such drastic and unfavorable things
When incorrectly birthed as a chick who flings a ding ding
I do not understand she of a man these days
Always shading the sun, polluting the air when they are jaded with their secretive palm play
Neglectful to groom facial hairs
Cheap five and dime cheap suits, to them, the inner beauty of a soul will never compare
Mentality to degrade using the supreme rules…hum… how many...

C.S.I.
The very definition of deadbeat
is every last conservative we know
hell for leather at the buy bull retreat
and the dog and pony deer hunter show
to study the latest mass murder kit
cuz deer and people weigh about the same
so bullets make the same ballistic hit
on legal or illegal human game...
about which they fantasize all day long,
when they're not bitching about Taylor Swift
and how woke she is with her latest song
where lyrics are too big for them to sift
like the ideation they should have learned
from all the schoolbooks...

Cuckoo's Boombox
Echoing my mind's summa cum laude
dark's academia brushed with mascara
touched by winds of the bottomless sea
understanding the cello's haunting strings
exploring the shadows of despair
screaming from the cuckoo's boombox
listening to silence in death's menagerie
echoing my mind's summa cum laude
dark's academia brushed with mascara
touched by winds of the bottomless sea
understanding the cello's haunting strings
exploring the shadows of despair
screaming from the cuckoo's boombox
listening to silence in death's menagerie

looking around me
squirrels in the trees
turn liquid in their
boredom
the stain of used
sunshine lies at
my feet
the language of
love is carved
apart on a butchers
block
preacher stare into
the weary eyes of
empty
pews
memories turned to shards
by apathy: cutting our feet
as we flee in terror of
ourselves
we are a beautiful
dawn cradled by
insufficient
gods
as the rose of hope
dies on our blue,
dry lips
...

Tears of the False Brave
Trick-a-treat, Merry Christmas or 4th of July
One thing for certain the United States of America is a fucking lie,
“Born and founded on theft and slavery
Now some white folks and coon black bitches trying to change its history,
“Their evil displayed worldwide with nowhere to hide
So for eternity their fuckery will always ride,
“What I’m saying is not considered no new shit
Because as I write and you read America is still a fuck bitch,
“Understand there are a few with a little common sense
But Congress, the Senate,...
