Kelvin Rush Poems

You keep on asking as if we're blessed
There are no answers for us to digest
Man has no insight to the meaning of life
It's futile and full of pain and strife
...

I think you'll find you're in my seat
You belong at the back get to your feet
Stand up at once you should know your place
Remember you belong to an inferior race
...

My dad was laid in bed unwell
But this time it looked quite serious
It seemed my dad was always ill
Sweating and coughing delirious
...

Yours is the light that always shines
Mine is the darkness eternally blind
Yours is the love that radiates joy
Mine is self-loathing the little lost boy
...

We're light years away from paradise
Stuck in this hellhole with the rats and lice
Dreading the night when the darkness appears
Anxious and uptight can't escape from the fears
...

Pat the Rat was a heartless brat
She would fight and spit bloody swear and attack
She had whopping great balls and the strength of an ox
She had charm and the brains of a cardboard box
...

What's it got to do with you
The things I say and what I do
So what about the way I look
Who cares if you think I'm stuck up
...

Everything comes and goes that's all you need to know
Objects relationships fear and pain
Uncontrolled anger jealousy and shame
Wealth and property celebrity and fame
...

Our Nanny State you are so great
What would we do without ya
You steal our kids you take our money
You think for us and we thank ya
...

Rushing round and round like a mouse on a wheel
The treadmill of life so confusing and surreal
The never ending drama the toil and stress
The pain and the illness the people we detest
...

Flat pack money back
Missing parts and screws
Same old frustrations
Never ending blues
...

Sitting on my toilet
Is the best part of the day
Letting all my problems
Slowly ebb away
...

Dear old Henry what have I done
We were such good friends we had so much fun
I would stroke you gently and give you food
You would make me laugh you were quiet and subdued
...

Same old busy people standing in a line
Wait your turn now one at a time
Shuffling forward inch by inch
Silently waiting trying not to flinch
...

Always watching never saying a word
The silent observer free as a bird
So calm and peaceful nothing to hide
Never deceitful always by your side
...

A virus with no resistance
A mind game full of deceit
A clever man offered assistance
Then came crashing down at my feet
...

Born to the state that's what you are
There's no debate you know the score
As soon as you arrive they take control
They want your blood your heart your soul
...

I've sorted out the money the pain and the worry
The heartache and all the goodbyes
I've spoken to the angels and cleansed my mind
I've laughed joked and cried
...

My assets were sold
I was stripped naked and bare
They found all the gold
It was a callous affair
...

No one really cared about my Cousin Sid
He'd been causing lots of trouble
Ever since he was a kid
People only remembered
...

The Best Poem Of Kelvin Rush

The Meaning Of Life

You keep on asking as if we're blessed
There are no answers for us to digest
Man has no insight to the meaning of life
It's futile and full of pain and strife

Think about anything that comes in your head
Then never forget one day you'll be dead
It's hardly surprising that no one is sane
The drugs and the booze the lies and the pain

The reason for living is not found in a book
It's like having a dream but you never wake up
It can't be explained by sight or sound
It's magnificent and godlike immense and profound

It's short and sweet it's bitter and pure
It offers you thrills but gives you no cure
It's bloody and quaint it's violent and cruel
It pretends to be saint but acts like a fool

It rises in many and renders you weak
It causes such heartache it's coy and discrete
It knows you will suffer before you give in
It's cunning and stunning and determined to win

It shines like an angel it oozes with joy
It's willing and able to kill and destroy
It moves off in silence then strikes like a snake
God help all the ones who lie in its wake

It's confusing and baron and incredibly wise
It's intrusive and Aaron it laughs and it cries
It pretends to be clean when in fact it infects
It's rude and obscene and hard to detect

It always reacts and never forgets
It retains all its strength from the ones it protects
It creates then dictates then destroys all that's good
It debates and dilates and feeds off your blood

It's rigid and torrid corrupt and insane
It thrives on emotion like anger and pain
It lurks like a virus it's patient and calm
It's willing and able with swagger and charm

It comes out of nowhere with fire and gust
It's heartless and cold it's bold and robust
Nothing on earth can stand in its way
It flatters and shatters and batters its prey

So before you ask what's the meaning of life
Just remember my friend we're dumb and so blind
We're specs on this earth of no consequence
We're meaningless parasites an insignificance
