Last Commented Political / Social Poems (810)

you may seem to notice
that i do not always seem to please...
if you don't understand
then i give you the stand...

i may seem to be different
but i'm just a part of the indent...
well,for you i may behave strange
yet everybody has there own way...
i may see you strange too and you may see me
strange...that the strangest way...
no choice...
deal with it...
cause we we're not born to please everybody...

Has the world come off hell’s hinges
Society worn out on drunken binges
What about all us mere smidgeons’
Flocking around a bunch of pigeons
My hand holding a wallet twinges
Rising oil prices making hair singes
Sheiks and oil barons make cringes
Profits high and an environment tinges
Not all is right like addict’s syringes
Welcome all to the lunatic fringes

She came here to a land so cold,
Searching for those streets of gold,
From friends and family she went away,
It is such a heavy price to pay,
A strange land and a language new,
The thoughts of home make her feel blue,
The feeling of loss in her heart it burns,
She prays for the day when she returns.

As far as I'm concerned the price of gas is too low
I offer you Senator a bill that will not only increase oil profits
For the oil companies
But also tack on a pay raise for ourselves
I don't know about you
But I do know what the American people who are struggling to stay warm
In the winter and fill their vehicles mean to me
What they mean to me and what they mean to you
Are a bunch of suckers to use and abuse
I don't care about them at all
What I do care about is my own wealth
And doing right isn't going to do that
Keeping the price of gas low isn't gonna put that shiny red porche
In my garage or a 50 inch plasma TV hanging on my wall
So by passing this bill to raise the price of gas from 3.30 to 4 bucks
By May and make these increases retroactive each and every year
At a rate of 18.5 percent each year
So you see fellow Senators in just 10 years we will all be very
Rich men and the poor will get poorer which is exactly what we do best
Thank you for your time

Thinking less for ourselves these days
And working harder for a lot less pay
Our world seems caught up in a haze
When good life is all we really crave
Freedom creeping closer to its grave
Powerful forces making all a slave
Knowing less and less about our history
Making leaders more and more blistery
Leading us more and more into mystery
Really not forming our own opinions
Let us be cast aside so many minions
Closer and closer to chaotic dominion
Do movies, internet, radios, and television
Really bringing us so much division
True freedom is making one’s own decision

God bless America
God Bless my poet friends
God bless men
God bless women
God bless us
God bless Union
God bless life
God bless to breath
God bless to eat
God bless time
God bless the USA
God bless friends
God bless peace
God bless silence
God bless to have no more hate

My skull is very small and the world is very large
Both are so fragile and so very hard to comprehend
Physical things filtered like washing sand in the surf
Counting the number of clicks it takes to pretend
To get what I need to know, not always what I understand
Is inventing what is right and proving what is wrong
Not waiting for anything like truth to come along?
Something is very sterile about the World Wide Web
Because it doesn’t smell like bacon or taste like bread?
Weeding out some unexpected truth from being told
Just move my finger…click….move it again…click
I don't need a mind that thinks I just need my finger
Now look at me and see how I’ve become an expert, too

Wounded warrior
rusted mind
no longer civilized
far from being kind.

Paces in his cage and
the borders that block his path,
gnaws on strangers;
takes pleasure in exerting his wrath.

Animals are hunted
and quickly put away.
Come any closer
and you’ll make my day.

Cast off on your saintly voyage you wretched sinner
Puff your chest so full of yourself what a disgusting winner
Can’t you please understand there’s really no right or wrong
What you define as inferior may be in my own way just as strong
The world is so full of hypocrites who cast their evil gaze
And expect as much from diplomats with such practiced craze
Be aware that most will just agree to let you rule so seldom
For in the end our votes will send you down the road to freedom

Nothing is more precious as a sunrise
Casting light into pools of life so deep
Captured by atoms in every growing cell
If a grateful world would just surmise
Spreading the light all around will keep
Living up to humanity’s greatest potential
By helping the hungry be its biggest prize
Sunlight that every human being can reap
Something for everyone to keep so well
Bringing warm smiles to every child eyes
Knowing the comfort good meals keep
Sunlight causing a happiness to swell
