Most Commented Political / Social Poems (810)

It is natural to feel disappointed

When things don’t go your way

It’s easy to think ....

"I can’t do it, so why try ? "

But no matter how scared you are of making mistakes

Or discouraged you may become

Never give up

Because if you don’t try and

If you don’t go after what you want in life

It won’t come to you

And you’ll be forced to accept

Things that you know could be better

Success is not measured by

Whether you win or you fail

There is always a little bit of success

Even if things don’t go your way

What’s important is that

You’ll feel better about yourself

Well the Tiger Cats are out
AGAIN
Montreal is in
AGAIN
Calgary just got eliminated
AGAIN
Saskatchewan is in
AGAiN
Probably too many men on the field
AGAIN
Montreal wins by a Field Goal
AGAIN

I have to break these chains, in this moment I can change, the old must fade away and set fire to ablaze

Through the smokey haze shines eyes that never turn to gaze, from the ashes rises, a flame retardant pilot

As the future approaches history, one doesn’t need to look to see, if one believes in destiny, then that is one will ever be

I orbit this mess while trying to tune my self-awareness but it still doesn’t make any sense so I abandon it

Follow me while I fall, it’s not that far to go, try and catch the meteor, putting on a show

Captured by the snow, a lonesome lonely rainbow, when all the fire has fallen, there’s still no letting go


And so it begins


The story has changed to accommodate the new way we go about reading the day, and in time, it will change again, to better suit the current trend

If the minds decide to wake, you can bet that most will shake, to come to find the truth, which has been hidden in plain view, will surely take its toll upon the already burdened soul

So forget the past with bliss because ignorance will win, it’s not what you’re without but what you hold within

The beginning of an era

A question of freedom

Those who seek to do well and survive

Are now being put to the test and ordered to do wrong

And those who seek to do harm and survive

Are now being slapped on the wrist and sent on their way to continue doing harm.

We`re being told that we can`t do this, we can`t do that

Because of someone else`s mistakes and misfortunes

First, goes the reputable breeders of so many kinds of animals

Next, the breed clubs, and national organizations

What`s next? No freedom to grow a garden, build a home, or have a child?

Will our next generations become lost to the mainstream of public rules and regulations

Acting like robots stuck on autopilot?

Why are our "great leaders" so afraid of individuality?

Individuals keep things alive and interesting.

If individuality is outlawed...

We`d have no media or news

Thousands or millions of people would be out of a job because someone somewhere told them they can`t do what they feel passionate about.

Are these so called leaders afraid to reach out, touch somebody, and support something that grows, learns, and teaches?

Something our people have been doing since the dawn of time.

Our freedom should be just that.

Free.

only three lines long
five, seven, five syllables
join disconnected thoughts

Essential is the air we breath
Like water is to land
The world rotates with love and anger
Now this I try to understand

Verse I

Pow'rs that be play politics,
To them we're only pawns.
Glories past won't help with this,
Those days have come and gone.


Chorus

Our dreams all turned to dust.
To feed their power lust,
They have betrayed our trust.
What's to become of us?


Verse II

Their posturing position,
Self-serving one and all,
Leading us to destruction,
We're headed for a fall.


Verse III

There must be some solution,
To stop this downhill slide.
Without some intervention,
The end is suicide.

Cradled and comfortable for death
I wept, I wept and cried a sleepless pain
And the empty darkness consumed the rain
For which I'm known
I'm born I'm killed I'm dead, I'm dead
I'm you if you were me
I'm every life ended in pain
I'm every life ended in pain

End it in pain

Unaccepted, I don't want to fight you
The emptiness is filled with the absence of light
I'm young I'm old I'm inbetween
And everone is affraid of things they dream
I can't life but I don't want to die
I don't have what it takes to even try
I'm the sadness in your eyes
I'm the sadness in childrens eyes

In childrens lies

Litigation, Don't make me beg
Acting as if nothing was ever said
I'm dead, I'm dead in an open grave
And when the sun came out thay made me their slave
I'm you if you were me
I'm you if you were free

The world around us is dying
they say they can help but are they trying
children with no place to live
rich people who refuse to give
humanity is ugly if we won't help the small
it will affect us all
have we gotten so compleasent that we don't care
that we poison our own air
the planet we walk on everyday
is simply rotting away
garbage lines the street we drive
but hey we will thrive
if we are even still alive
if we all did just our part for our kids
they will do what there parents did
if we would stop just talking about it and actually try
maybe some people won't have to die
donate a dollar or don't throw trash on the ground
or maybe return the wallet you found
let's remember we are all human and live on this earth
and recall our childrens worth

Cold Fusion

By the red glow
Of atmospheric events,
Aurora,
Burning, in a sense.
Eden burning,
Sunlight shining,
Curved,
We are round,
Not square,
Cold energy
Masquerading
As dark matter.
Still, and quiet,
Starlight shining
Cold and vast,
It's soul-blinding,
Small, and
Smaller by the day
Incredible
Shrinking-planet
This I say; cold,
No comfort
Greed and hate,
Cold-fusion hard,
This I do relate.
I cry at night
Aye, I do weep
The rain falls down
And then I sleep.
