Many of these were written during my math class; I'm not sure why, but it seemed a scenario conducive to writing. I'd be happy to let anyone use my poetry, as long as they ask and give me credit. Thanks for visiting!

Physics

An incompetant teacher of a high school class
should not be offended when his students usurp;
he should accept the decline from teacher to bystander
with the humility of a just slander.

To laugh at your students for not understanding your words
is unforgivable when not one understands your thoughts.
You say something once, ridiculing those who don't understand.
You say something once, trying to move on.
You say something once, and no one understands.
You move on to a different topic with the foundations unset,
and your wonderful explanations are lost to the class
as you ridicule your students and move too fast.
The building you're building of knowledge is falling
My attempt at education are only a stalling
of what comes to place when you fail your students.
You lose you job, there should be no alternative.

Emo Limerick

When even the platypi sing I cry

and as the bells tolling I sigh.

Never truly getting better,

damn this f*ing weather.

Living. Dieing. Lie.

Caesar

The pride of Julius,

a working class hero,

is the pride of Pompey,

a dealer of death.



He's a highborn noble,

a killer of kindred

killed by kindred

in protection of Rome.



Crassus and Pompey

both saw the danger

but neither much cared

so neither was spared.



He reached his goal,

killing five-thousand foreigners

and returned to claim Rome

from popular Pompey.



But with Crassus long gone

he saw nothing wrong

with controlling the whole world

so the senate is his;



but his friends saw what's wrong

and made Caesar be gone.

For his numerous crimes

he was stabbed twenty-three times.

Green Hearts Crying

As big business crumbles,

the world's in a bumble.

The banks dropped a fumble;

the large ones die.



"Only Millions," he said

while only billions are dead

and only hundreds are fed.

The large ones die.



But as the cut-throats kill,

kill all in their way,

the Socialists share fills

and the large one dies.



"Only Millions," he said.

Only billions are dead.

only hundreds are fed.

The large ones die.

Here I Come

Overpopulation on our big, blue orb

is causing the inflation of the third world;

and as the scroll of our lives becomes unfurled,

so in our house our burned corpses are curled.



The humans of our planet,

selfish and seething,

have no desire to help it,

underserving of breathing.



Planning a massive neroism of Earth,

I will destroy its 24 grand mile girth.

Know these thoughts and emotions aren't unbridled mirth

but have been growing and festering since my long ago birth.



The humans of our planet,

selfish and seething,

have no desire to help it,

undeserving of breathing.



And so it is my

solemn duty to choose

the final moment when our species will lose,

because in orphans' shoes

to walk we've refused

and within just a few years our resources we'll lose.

Thanks

Keeping up with all we do,

the world expanding forth and through

the grey and gay of night time life

gives going forward some surprise



Now I shall never let ye see

the sadness that's inside of me

but if thou asketh, "The pain is where?"

I point to my chest and declare, "It's there"



The fact that ye saw, and ye asked,

will make me gasp, and happily bask

in the friendship that we have for free

and so, soon happy I will be.



I thank ye just for seeing me;

I thank ye just for being thee.
