Cry
Who tries to share,
Or help the weaker ones,
Who cares to look,
Or think of anyone.

Cry, the weaker ones,
Cry, the poor ones,
There is no one here,
To give any funds.

You starve for food,
You starve for water,
There is no one here,
To donate for any father.

Cry, the empty stomach,
Cry, a little harder,
There is no one here,
No one to bother.

I suggest you to sleep,
A deeper and more,
There is no one to awake,
Or look after your soul.

I won't stop,
I won't try,
Cry till the time,
The time till you die.
My first poem

"Again?" He asked.
"Later" She said.
But later became right then and right there.
"Not now" became that very second,
that minute.
He didn't accept no,
But she was so broken
She couldn't let go.

She said she will,
but doesn't mean she wants too.
She said she can,
but doesn't mean she needs too.
She said "not now"
But it didn't stop you.

I changed the colour of my hair from brunette to blonde
not for me but for you
maybe then you might respond

I got rid of my natural nails and replaced them with longer more colourful gel ones with lots of details.
not for me but for you

I stopped wearing sweats or comfortable pants and shirts, I now wore dresses and short skirts
not for me but for you

I  tossed my sneakers and flats, started wearing high heels which are all lined at my doormats
not for me but for you

I spoke softer, more high pitched just like every woman "should"
you make it a part of womanhood.
not for me but for you.

Is there anything you would like me to change?
Is there anything more you want me to rearrange?
Of course it's not gonna be for me, it would be for you.
Afterall, it's a game you play, it's the thing you do.
Not for me but for you.

"GET OVER IT!" She said as if depression can be remedied
by any of the contents found in a first aid kit.

Nothing beats this heat
As am feeling uneasy in my seat
I move closer to the window
And glimpse at an unusual shadow
Limping and searching
As if may have lost something
Teary eyes glanced at me
A beggar he didn't choose to be
Lost his days hardwork
Stood crying facing the wall
I got off the bus as it was yet to leave
Fetched my purse for money to give
As I approached the poor guy
He broke into tears to cry,
I heard his begging tears for food
And passing people laughed, saying his no good
I asked him how much he had lost
With unclear voice he said, just my food cost
I handed him a $10 note with a smile
He looked happy after a while
I came back to my bus seat
And adjusted the aircon slide to beat the heat
The journey started with a good thought
Now thinking, if it was food he bought...

So many unfortunate people, a little gesture or help can make their day brighter. Help a needy :)
George Krokos Oct 2017
There once did live an unfortunate soul
who from childhood had been diagnosed
with a very rare unknown medical condition
that also defined its own awkward position.
And as it went, it just didn’t know when to stop
until one day it received an unexpected notice
informing it that its time now was almost up
just moments before its heart bled into a cup.
Then instead of normal blood there was seen
that which looked like the colour of diarrhoea
and the stench resembled that of its breath
last exhaled from its gaping mouth at death.
