Poems about violence

AT THE FUNERAL THEY CRIED
At the funeral they cried -
So much sadness pouring out, it was a surprise
To know they'd hated him when he was still alive:
But so it goes, the bottled up years of grief
Given relief, the pain of loss,
The bollocking from the boss,
Those months of feeling cross,
The times you had to lie -
All, all comes pouring out
In one long cry.

At the funeral they tried
To think of that man who'd died
But found they cried more easily
For themselves.

- This poem is all about self-pity and hurt given the chance to vent at a funeral.

WHY, TEMPTATION, MUST I GIVE IN TO THEE?
Why, temptation, must I give in to thee,
Why fight, then fall beneath your curse¢d grip:
Lost in moment's madness, pleasure see,
The instant of my strength, weakness one slip ?

Why, temptation, must your long shadows play
Strange yearnings unseen on my cleanse¢d mind;
Renew thyself in death for thy new day
In one who, replete, to you's now blind ?

Temptation, I have this quarrel with you -
Your peace is but a pause before you strike :
And worse, before my mortal pace is through
I fear with me you'll do as you like.

For I am foolish, proud, and not so strong:
Temptation, with me you can do no wrong.


- A poem about temptation - always at the moment you think you've conquered it, when you're at your strongest, it strikes. And when you've over-indulged and are no longer tempted, when you think you've immune to it, temptation is renewing itself.
