Political / Social Poems (810)

Violence in sports
You damn right!
Give me some football!
Give me a batter charging the mound in baseball!
I wanna hear Trump make another stupid speech
War and death
War and death
Go together like crack and meth
Cause I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Here comes the tornado
There goes the hurricane
Only one thing I like better than a cruise
And that my friends is the 6 o clock news!

Blood on the streets, all the camera cars start to roll
News casters put on their makeup and checkout their notes
News stations chuckle with glee
They know if it bleeds it will lead
Directors phone up their mates for a quote
And fake moral outrage live on tee vee
It’s their lead story today
More bloodshed tomorrow

Payed experts speculate wildly, over what can it all mean
Nothing is happening, but our reporter is live at the scene
So they roll a video tape
Of a dead body under a coat
Presenters show insincere sorrow
Producers secretly gloat
It’s the lead story today
More bloodshed tomorrow

The Camera cars all packed up, have now gone away
So we’ll take some time and tell you what else happened today
We’ve a story of a skateboarding cat
To prove the world isn't so grim
Then we will go over to the weather,
As we wait for the next death to come in
That was our lead story today
And we’ll have more bloodshed tomorrow

When will I die?
Are we really going to have huge job losses starting September 27?
Why does God let bad people get away with all their crap?
Did the dinosaurs die off, or just turn into chickens and bald eagles?
Was life better when we just had 200 million people on the planet?
How do aliens exist in space that is so vast it boggles the mind?
When are we going to get hard evidence of Bigfoot?
Are the poor people of India really happier than the rich in the USA?
When are we going to have a really good president again like Kennedy?
When are we going to visit Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn?
When will we have electric cars that are affordable?

I was watching the Libertarian debates last weekend
I objected to a few things that were said
One was the minimum wage
They said that it should be zero
That you get paid what your skills are
If you aren't being paid what you are worth
Then all you need to do is walk across the street
But I see countless skilled workers being ripped off every day
They cross the street and it's the same story all over again
The minimum wage should be raised to 15 bucks an hour
The next thing was immigration
The libertarian candidates said let them all in
No borders
We need all the skilled labor we can get
I disagree
We don't need a wall
We just need the citzens of our country to be employed first
If there are still jobs left over
Then fine, let them in to fill those jobs
But the jobs should be available to Americans first
Not whoever gets there first, or who is the cheapest
I still like a lot of their ideas
I did vote for Gary Johnson back in 2012
I probably will vote for him again
Unless Bernie Sanders majically get the Democratic nomination

1. Norway
2. Iceland
3. Canada
4. Germany
5. Australia
6. Italy
7. New Zealand
8. Finland
9. Sweden
10. Qatar

Here I am in America
I stole the job from ya
I live the dream while yours dies
Why do I still want to cry?
Maybe it's because of NAFTA and thing like that
Make me feel like a rat
Bernie Sanders has it right
We all need to stand up and fight
With 15 dollars an hour
We will have the power
Till then I will sit here and cryo
Even though it's Cinco De Mayo

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs
And you can't play football without breaking a few heads

To err is human
To forgive, nah!

The more you study history
The more you learn that man has learned nothing from history

Money can't buy happiness
But it sure can rent it!

The only people who win in war
Are politicians and businessmen

Knowing the hour you are to die is not important
It's knowing that you will be prepared no matter when it comes

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day
Teach a man how to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime
Teach a man how to steal a fish through taxation
And he'll eat for a while
Till the stealers outnumber the fishermen

When I am elected president there will be no more homelessness
There will be no wage under 15 dollars an hour anywhere in the world
There will be no illegals taking jobs from Americans
Health care will be free and available to all people
We will go to Mars
We will give our children hope
So they don't have to take dope
Our educational system will be the best in the world
There will be no more illegal groping at airports
We will not bomb any more countries for profit
All drugs will be made legal
Our prison system will then be drastically reduced
Our national debt will be paid down
So the 400 billion in interest paid yearly can be used for new roads
Electric cars will be made cheap enough for everyone to own one
We will protect our environment and have clean water
In Flint and everywhere else
We will reward work by cutting taxes and no taxes on overtime
We will foster and sense of community and love
For all people everywhere
So that we can truly say not god bless the usa
But god bless everyone on this great planet we call earth!

Can you find
the lines
that you seek
the ones
that can guide you
though the lands
of deceit
the ones
that are hard
to hold
when you are
all alone
hanging by a thread
where common sense
is your only friend
when you try
to follow
your lines of intent

Does honesty
and common sense
still survive
in the crevices
and burrows
in the concrete jungles
where animals
are dressed
as human
where it is
the wolves
who are kings
and the lion
is just
a flea bitten
scabby old cat
hanging around
the garbage bags
where
the lost people
of humanity eat
