Political / Social Poems (810)

These twilight years of loneliness,
no one around for me to view,
surely being on ones own is not the best,
have even vacated the churches pew,

The four walls have now become my cave,
nourishment now taken just to fill the need,
looking out my window people pass by, not even a wave,
my life it seems is a vegitating seed,

I no longer have that adventurous clout,
crippling body is aging within,
all I can do is at the telly shout,
it seems old age is now a communual sin,

No one bothers to contact or check up on me,
constantly receiving those goddamn bills,
in this life I am no longer free,
all I do now is feed the rich mans tills.

THERE IS NO WORLD WITHOUT LIVES
THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATHE
THERE IS NO LOVE IN AN EMPTY HEART
THERE IS NO GRAVE WITHOUT DEATH
THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT
DOGMAS
THERE IS NO CREATURE, NOT CREATED
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS
THE HARDFACT IS:
SUCCESS DOES NOT DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF THOSE WHO FAIL TO TRY

Don't yell at them
Don't hit them
Tell them you love them
Show them you love them
Don't control them
Don't get jealous
Don't look at them as sex objects
Listen to them
Talk to them
Tell them you appreciate them

[ Change ]

[Change is the change
of identity on facebook,
where you are only on cookbook!

Change is the difference
of doing business in East than West
where crony capitalism is best!

Change is the currency
of notes, bills, coins,
where human capital also joins!

Change is the attitude
of people towards sexuality
where love can be a causality!

Change is a human nature
for man & woman in relationship
where each struggles for partnership!

Change is the transformation
of parties in hues of politics
where power of money is game of ethics!

Change is the merging
a town of two border states
where upmanship was at stake!

Change is the struggle
for freedom from orthodoxy
where man is buried in methodology!

Change is a change of rule
from one nation to another
where greed and power gather!

Change is a shift
in climate from hot or cold
where Mother Nature acts bold!

Change is a plan
for IPL team for surprise win
where everyone will grin!

Change is a twist
of story in fiction novel
where readers would marvel!

Change is in the thinking
of person from poverty to affluence
where discomfort & comfort confluence!

Change is a change
from one change to another change
where only change is game of change!]

Be ye angry and sin not.
A Bible verse we have forgot.
Does your anger rule your life?
Do you always live with strife?

Many love their confrontations,
Seeking out new aggravations.
Being negative gives them joy.
For them anger is their toy.

They seem to hate their own existence.
In being arrogant they use persistence.
Aggression is a tool they like.
I wish their brain would go on strike.

Often anger can be good.
Just don't be misunderstood.
Many things should cause us anger.
It should not put you in danger.

Our self control we must maintain.
Or else you lose and have no gain.
Anger should be properly directed.
Not causing you to be corrected.

Does hurting others make you glad?
Do you feel joy when someone's sad?
Is there something wrong with you?
Not caring about what you do.

You can't always have your way.
Others would like to enjoy their day.
We all suffer through hard times.
Many are victims of bad crimes.

Don't let anger be your master.
It will lead you to disaster.
You can control it if you try.
It does no good making others cry.

Inside you there is a heart.
A great place for you to start.
You should also have a brain.
Something we all need to train.

You are not the only one.
We all feel pain from someone.
Some of us will do our best,
To make life easier for the rest.

Said that suit stood on shoes
To lessen your fears
To brighten your views.

While a podium he rides
Throwing words on the wind.

Don't you know who I am
Shoehold gripping the door
As a flexible wall
Moments him in check.

Key to the city
By delusional thought
Minds, self induced exile
Clearing the way.


This trump card you'll need
Tho it's, not fully charged
Keep moving forwards
The thicker it gets.

As you become more transparent
Peering eyes cannot see!

R.O.S.E
For i am the Shepherd for the people with no leader to grace, this promised land on which i stand chosen by the sealer of fates. No invasion or persuasion by a serpent or snake, the wicked fell the dragons tell is of subduction and hate.
The fruit we labor grows unabled with no roots to be stable, the seeds we plant we must prevent poisons from reaching the cradle. forced into life searching for light struggles to fight, these cold nights can be fatal. This rose is breed sapience fed so his thorns doesn't harm his creator.

I was young, naive, I had no sense,
meeting in private rooms this idol,
the attention was so intense,
all my emotions and feelings were tidal,

Their eyes looked at me with glazing stare,
sweet talking and fast moving hands,
telling me that as a fan, how much they care,
it was the same with some of those bands,

When I said thats not the place to touch,
they laughed and smiled thats ok dear,
trying not to offend them too much,
were just being very friendly here,

Leaving and being given some gift,
something told me that things had not been right,
who could I turn to without causing a rift,
Alone in bed and cried my eyes out that night,

Next day I had a word with Mum,
the horror on her face at what was said,
we will go to the police and see what can be done,
my nerves had gone and I was shaking with dread,

A statement was taken at the station,
questioning eyes and fearful words,
you realise your accusing a star of the nation,
their intimidation made me really scared,

I was nervous I know but really tried,
a cursory check with the star an alibi ensued,
words and spite came back to say I lied,
tears spun hard and shame at being used,

Now decades on the story is clear,
pandoras box is opened and secrets are out,
I no longer have to hide my shame and fear,
my story has been revealed and now has more clout,

But to have all those tears and sadness within,
now being told I was not only used,
I have been told it was not I who had committed a sin,
As a child I had been maliciously abused.

water,water every were
but not a drop to drink
Enda looked out the window
and he did start to think
He called up the gang
and they started to hatch a plan
a secret tax on water that what we will do
and sure the residents of the country will not have a clue
legislation was passed
and so began the Irish water farce
now Enda being a two faced man
he knew he needed a back up plan
So Enda met the brown envelop clan
convinced them of his plan
we will spend 50 million with your man
He will tell us how it is done
Installing meters having fun sure might even build a dam.
So with all this money coming in
The private companies will be in a spin
They will line up out side
All ready to hand me a bribe
Now on this night Enda and Joan spoke by phone
A great idea they agreed
It is the best plan we ever had we will get rich
The poor we can drink from a ditch
But what they did not know then
But they well know now
That there brilliant plan we the government crashing down
For the people of Ireland have a voice
We get choose our government
And next time we make the right choice

Sam Smith was the big winner
Weird Al Yankovic won too
The rest I wouldn't take out to dinner
The music has seemed to gone to hell in a hand basket
Sam Smith's Stay With Me and
Lorde's Yellow Flicker Beat
The only ones I cared to listen to against all that other racket
Kanye West tried to come on stage
But my favorite grammy moment of all time
That SOY BOMB guy dancing to Bob Dylan
That kind of stuff gets me engaged
Michael Jackson won the most grammys with eight
Adele got six which was pretty great
Since the music isn't what it used to be
My favorite category is comedy
And I bought Weird Al's Mandatory Fun
Now that the grammys are done
I will wait for the Oscars next week
Maybe they will have some winners who don't reek
