76. Dark Future (3066 times seen)
By Miquel Molina i Diez | 14-08-2018 | Pseudopoems
Year 2164.
Computers, mobile phones, and the like, are a thing of the past.
Microchips, which were implanted in our heads, govern our minds, our thoughts, our health, and everything we do.
There is no escape.
There is no privacy.
They can read our minds.
We are being indoctrinated....
77. Break me like a horse (2608 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
A gentle breaking takes time
Ironically time is what we’ve had the most of
Both time and gentleness breeds trust
A horse and his rider slowly learning to gallop together
The bit is placed in her mouth first,
Leading by example yet steadily steering
The stallion to the pasture of his drea...

79. After My Shower (2461 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
After my shower I lay on my bed
wondering why depression is visiting again
my life is on track and I'm living my fame
but somehow I'm stuck in this purple-haze
My mind starts to wander about cousin Andre'
he put a rifle in his mouth
while he was in college
then my thoughts switche...
80. The Cadman Wall (2523 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
My sugar walls are asking for your
bitter walls to stop blocking your heart
The Wall of China cannot compare to the magnitude of
your wall,
I declare
Walls make people fall,
ask Humpty
The fast pace of Wall street can't
describe how quickly you replace your lovers
Lovers with no faces

81. The Things That Women Carry... (2799 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
The things that women carry
are all hidden inside.
The closet of no-end
holds the tears of our lives.
From the unborn children
to our most secret fears.
The threat of their exposure
seems to always be near.
Some of us wear acrimonious exteriors
while others transpose themselves
into pass...

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
I heard a voice
and guess what it said?
Sticky get away from my young man,
Why do people have to use mean words
2 get their point across, Absurd!!
Somebody told me just the other day,
that a Faggot had come their way,
U don't even know them well
And you're telling them to burn in...

I am cold like snow...
No longer will I give love..
numbness is my fate......
My heart is bleeding...

All love has leaked out....
Rejection of joy....

86. Saggin Lillies (2518 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
I look down and see
This anti-perky gravity
fed my baby lilly milk
baby's daddy wet my silk
Ninnies ain’t so cute no more
Poppa seeks a younger whore
belly button lodging with
hairline leading to the clit
nipples ripples no more six-pack
gray hair grows below the back

87. Narrow Stygian Damsel (2045 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
As weight escapes my skinny frame
I over eat like it's a game
being voluptuous is so in style
but all I hear is I like your smile
your size, you hair, your eyes, your lips
but sometimes I wish I had big hips
more breast, more thighs, more hair
green eyes, lighter skin, a thicker chin
can...

By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
Restoration is powered by grace
Faith without action is dead
Sometimes god allows us to
Make decisions that may hinder
Our progression towards our purpose
But then restoration is powered by
A will to do something great
Have a strong will and
Be a fighter
Don't be a quitter
And ...

others oblivious
