Last Commented Political / Social Poems (810)

For many a years i fought for
your freedom on this land.
I saw many friends and soldiers
die in my hands.
I fought with a syringe and
knife in my hand.
my fighting was was not
done with guns and
grenades.
My fighting many times was to
keep my comrades from dying.
My service how it changed me.
You send me home i find i am
jobless for nothing transfers
over from the military to civilian.
For now all i have done for you
i start anew as if my service
never matter to you.
My time i serviced.
The comrades i saved only has
value to me it seems.
Where is the loyalty?
The outstretched hands as if
to say thank you can i help.

The lessons that we teach the youth affect future direction
We pave the path on which the generations travel
Leaving teaching plans in hands that steer as i now write
Will see tapestries already frayed rapidly unravel

Siding with the bullies as we persecute the weak
A million innocents die to teach the few a lesson
Force instead of dialogue, clenched fists instead of words
We cut off tongues to better hear the Smith & Wesson

Our locust like hungers fed with supplies from another’s larder
Taking what we need from those we’re meant to be protecting
Spouting concepts like “democracy” and false terms like “free trade”
While we steal and cheat and subvert who they’re electing

That powers to be respected more than the contents of a heart
A grasping fist desired whilst an open hand ignored
That empty hearts and heads are fine if filled with golden things
The gilded vessel more important than the contents that are poured

Double standards abound in this game of smoke and mirrors
Holding up one standard whilst partaking in another
Petty ties that bind us to a shallow family tree
Superficial similarities by which we recognise a brother

Reality becomes obscure as virtual constructs take the lead
Square eyed cotton wool wrapped alabaster youth abound
Language broken down along with physical interaction
Hardwired to the mainframe yet no roots within the ground

Respect and understanding of our relationship with nature
Has eroded till we’ve severed once strong ties
We shit in our own nest and sell it piece by piece for profit
We hand them keys with engine running whilst on course to our demise

We cannot blame the rider when we’ve handed over reigns
And set the course on which the race is to be run
Unless we take control of what we pass to those who follow
On Jacob’s ladder we’re already greasing rungs

What exactly will it take for eyes to open wide ?
To finally see the truth behind the lies with which we're plied
To light the fire that melts the chains with which we're pacified
To find the unity and love we're constantly denied

Lacking mental flexibility like a joint thats calcified
Our cerebral sanctuary's been invaded and occupied
Hearts measured in their cash worth, weighed up and quantified
Selling wants to empty hearts see's desires multiplied

The methods of their conquest see's them separate and divide
Not black or white but gold, in this manufactured class apartheid
To recognise dual justice systems, you will never see them tried
Those who break the rules they make by which we must abide

Stopping human development like a dose of thalidomide
Stranded upon dry land, thrown from evolutions tide
Dog eat dog mentalities and greed have been deified
Putting locks and chains on where our humanity resides

Thieves hold seats of power, oaths of service falsified
Their attack dogs roam the land, assuring the Empire's rule applied
Using economic terrorism along with tried and tested genocide
Perpetual war and the profits it raises see's racism glorified
An unholy marriage of government groom and blushing business bride
That golds worth more than human lives is a truth unclassified

Let us see the lies and bullshit dumped and dropped to the roadside
Let us reclaim our human nature to a form more dignified
Let us take the slums they build of hearts and see them gentrified
Before upon these crosses of gold we bear, we're nailed and crucified

See no evil
Speak no evil
Hear no evil
is what they
say to me.
But how can
that be.
For i see
what is in
front of me.
I can not
just put on
a blank stare
and let life be
that way for me.

City or a parking lot?
Ancient history long forgot.
Cars and motorbikes
Where are the gays and dikes?
All on lesbo perchance
Listening to music while they dance.
Frocking under over stuffed olive trees
Licking the honey from Greek bees.
Tasting each other
Where is their brother?

Back in the city of the lions fountain
Rich blue sea and snow cap mountain.
Teams of tourists fill cafes.
Tour guide spewing visitors daze.
Too many years of history.
Can they see the Greek God's mystery?
After information overload
Boarding coach parked on the road.
Did they notice graffiti everywhere?
Greek youth are angry they don’t care.
Tagging walls on their name day.
History be dammed they say.

Who are you to give advice?
When you're also skating on thin ice,

Maybe a lot of times I don't make sense,
but at the end of the day I try my hardest to repent.

Contridicters play their harp,
disapointment in my heart.

Liars somehow to gain trust,
...but why play into the hate and continue to thrust?

We are on giant floating rock in space
no bottom, no top and no gates.

Space continues forever,
the unseens we will never treasure.

The bible to show us,
human being to throw us.

Give recognition for at least something above,
deny, push away you will never feel love

To the bottom onlt to find my advantages,
I've found my calling now to peel off these bandages.

When that certain feeling that no one hears you arrives,
find that certain outlet to channel, never deprive.

Kept focused but lost tack
now keeping focused to eventually attrack.

Tug-a-war to pull you in? Then i'm not playing, you win.
...Seems all anyone wants to do is follow trends.

Sometimes I bash myself too much for my past, if i keep that consisteint nothing will last.

Seeing the ugly as beautiful evey now and then,
will I ever feel normal again?

I can't speak to you in words how i feel,
but read my words for they are real.

What you admire to me is expired,
It's sad to see what you looked up to retired.

You set yourself in a set path it seems I can't touch,
Well, have you been all the way to the bottom to embrace and clutch??

Are your eyes set on me like I think.
And for that does your "set path" start to shrink?

I bare through the ignorance to find what I love,
...Someone that can accept me and has the touch of a dove.

Can't extinguish the start much less the end,
everything around me now just seems blend.

I can feel an uprising soon,
something and someone that will send me satisfied to my tomb

So many familiar personalities
come, stay, then go in this reality

Watched as backstabbers escape
but just know they will be denied at heavens gate.

So appealed at peoples rat race,
pulling others down to climb up the corporate ladder to be first place.

For what? To stand on top looking at the ones they crippled?
...What they dished out has a major ripple.

Drugs only to ease the pain,
If caught jail to gain.

Always be open make smart humble decisions,
one state of mind isn't hard to surrender.

Pay attention to the right things that will get you ahead in the best way,
treat good and evil the same way.

Killing people with kindness is righteous,
only sometimes killing evil of it's blindness.

Stand for what you believe,
never lash out and you'll never bleed.

It's never the ones you need,
we are all one dig deep and you'll see.See More

What's my role in this if i'm not making it?
Never ending battle to win it. but win what?

Mainstream is what i duck and avoid,
is that what keeps my mind played like a toy?

Rulers are blind to what they rule,
while society needs another new.

Idolizing the same old thing you "love".
...when there just more on the rise above.

Let the blind be blind,
that's the only way you can shine.

Only the end because that's what your psyche decided, while i'll be the one to end this instead... Remember don't be the one to be blinded.
