Political / Social Poems (810)

I waited for you
To make the first move
You were in charge
And did what you do

Looking in my glass house
You saw what you see
I was vulnerable
So you took advantage of me

In the first petition we faux wed
And you created my future course
But, I’ve finally had enough of your scam
Now it’s time for us to faux divorce

You were the one with the masterful plan
And what I really needed didn’t matter
All you wanted was to make your play
So you’d get whatever you were after

Simultaneously,
You put me in the driver’s seat
And handed over the keys
While you got in on the passenger's side
And feigned giving the control to me

Being unlicensed and trusting you
I then took hold of the wheel
Not knowing you were just using me
To get my signature on your lucrative deal

The one where I became an indentured servant
So others could decide my fate
But, eventually I exposed your treachery
And since then I’ve gotten nothing but hate

After once upon a time
Smiling sweetly in my face
So handsome, and oh so grand
YOU, the TOP GUN
The BIG MAN with a plan
Didn’t want to hang your head in disgrace

Lately
You’ve been getting a wee bit upset
And still doing whatever it is you still do
While I’ve made plans to quicken your step
By encouraging you to make your next move

Because you need votes and connections
From one to the other end of the State
Who will enjoy sitting down at your table
Eating your food from off of your plate
And
Together you’ll make merry and laugh
At the joke you made, oh yeah, that’s “me”
Determined to hang on until the end
And to never allow me to go free

As you bask in your hay days
And all the money you made
You’re happy with the respect you achieved
At my expense and others like me too
While we paid your debts
And still want answers from you

But, you underestimate us
And my willingness to strive
When you left me with nothing to lose
After you lied
And cheapened my pride

And now you’re getting angrier
The more doggedly I share
Me, the little mouse
Fat cats no longer scare

BUT,

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I CARE?

Why don’t you put your… oops,
OUR money
Where your mouth is
Let’s finally meet together in the courtroom
I’m sure your posse will be there
And the new Judge can decide
Preponderance
Evidentiary documents
And sworn testimony too

Then I’ll show my hand
Politely address you as “Sir”
And mop the floor up with you!!!

Oh, that’s right, I almost forgot
You prefer that we mediate without proof
In a private room where no one can see
So all your bad faith acts will stay buried in history

But I’m not giving you the broom that you need
So you can sweep me
And what you’ve done to everyone
Quietly
Under the rug

Especially since your new plan
Is to avoid a public scandal
In your campaign to be elected his Honor

The reigning JUDGE!!!

Pirates were around in the 16th century, they flew the
Jolly Roger/Scull & Crossbones and would loot and pillage
Ships at sea, for their rich cargo and gold doubloons
Over the years they have moved to land in guises as
Highwaymen and bushrangers, outlaws that steal money
As well as gold and defy the law. In modern times the
Pirate has become an even bigger threat to the film and
Music industry by bootlegging copies on videotape and
Disks, robbing performers and actors of their rightful
Royalties. Now in the days of the Internet, the pirate or
Modern day version known as a scammer, creates
All sorts of evil ways to attain money on hoax activities
Dating sites and social networking even through networks
With items for sale. Yes hoaxes and scams make up about
Seventy percent of Internet activities, which goes
Unpoliced, with people losing large ammounts of money
To these unscroupulous people every day. Can they be
Stopped? The answer is a mystery, as the world is losing
It's innocence to unstoppable theives we call pirates.

A long road
Filled with danger

Alone
I relied on the word
Of a
Stranger

Stupid is
What stupid does

Now I
“PLEAD”
So
I can just
Wake up

Nightmares
Fantasies
False hopes
Dreams

Our reality
Is seldom
What
We wish it to be

Punishment
They say
Should fit the crime

Even when innocent
In the wrong place
At the wrong time

Factory defects
Can be replaced
With new
Character flaws
Are sometimes
Overlooked
too

But
In this world
Where the strongest
Often thrive
Weakness
Can be exploited
So the status quo
Survives

Majority
vs.
Minority

All have stakes
In this game

On life
We bet all we have
Just to play

Knowing the risks
That it takes to win
If we lose at first
We ante up
And spin the wheel again

If fortune
Is meant to be ours
At last
Its security
Helps heal the wounds
Of the past

But
If at the end of the rainbow
There’s no gold in the pot
We do what we can
To make the best of our lot

We don’t depend
Only on

Wins
vs.
Loss

We pray for
“RELIEF”
And put our trust
In
GOD

For with Him
All things are possible
To achieve

And with faith
He’ll answer
If we believe

It may not be
What we want to hear

But His will
Will be done

And of this
We need not
Fear

How we forget
Those that have sacrificed lives
Died on foreign soil so we can reap the spoils
Of a war where we traded blood for oil
Or the tomb with the unmarked grave
With eyes that’ll never see the light of day
Or the pain in a child’s face
When her mom says her dad he’s gone away
How about the ones left to die praying for one more day
While we sit at the dinner table and we say grace
Nightmares in the night his heart it starts to race
Meanwhile the media they talk away
They say this is a price we had to pay
But they never spent a night in a foreign place
He watched his friends die for our misplaced hate
Or our blind faith in a leader who contemplates
To get rich before his eight years are up and he walks away
Promised to bring them home but still they stay
We voted for Obama to get a new change
Four years and he’s running again with a killer main event
They killed Osama and video- taped but how we forget
Still they stayed

Every which way I turn they're walking next to me,
and its clearly obvious that your frown is from the burn, from the burn of the daily grind,
dig to find anything that satisfies the mind,
and in time....you'll give it up
it ain't mine...don't even know wassup

I'm a victimless crime stood on by divines,
Don't have the right frame of mind
lash me for all I've got
I'm kind,selfless and forgetful,
and often I get lost in the stupour of drunk and high,
cause this world you provide its what I need to get by!

Just Like a bird in a guilded cage we are all
supposed to be free ? But are we really
free ? The answer is No !, in Australia we
are compelled to vote, we are fined if
we don't vote, as our governments make
laws that control our lifestyle, when life
was created by God he deemed all of us
were born equal, that being the case why
do we need a leader to govern as we are
all as good as each other, laws create
problems in society, and corrupts our
lifestyles. When society, tells us what we are
permitted to do and even what we say and
wear, is that freedom ?, the answer is No,
we live in a society were we are forced to
accept rules on our personal appearance,
it was alright for women to wear skirts and
men to wear long pants, and boys to wear
short pants all in the name of tradition
and this is dictating our lives, if we fail to
comply we are discriminated by society and
looked upon as anti socialists which in some
extremes can lead to civil unrest and world wars,
we are all prisoners of tradition and government
laws, we do things to please everyone except
ourselves and that is selfishness that needs to
change as people need to wear and look as they
wish. here are some examples these days women
can wear pants and men even wear skirts, they
are called kilts that Irish and Scottish soldiers
would wear into battles. Makeup only woman
wear allowed to wear, yet in very early times
men would wear make up, back in the Egyptian
dynasties. It was also the same in indian tribal
customs only men wore war paint, but it has
all changed. If a man wore lipstick in the street
today he would be laughed at as being gay or
a drag queen, yet circus clowns have done this
in there work amusing children, even actors
use it with no incriminations, so why can't
men and women have a say in what they
wear and how they dress and have nothing
said about it, if we were truly free we could
do all of this, but as long as discrimination
rules society we will always be forced to obey
tradition and follow the rules that suits a select
few and not the majority of the world we live in.
This explains my thesus that we are just like
that bird in a guilded cage, we seek freedom
but can never really be free. This is the order
of our society today.

Across this world so far and wide
So many different places that I’ve been
And different faces of this world I’ve seen


I’ve travelled across a desert of mirrors
Where broken hearts lay shattered in pieces
Reflecting back their sorrow and pain

Up snow covered mountains where summer is missing
To mountain lakes where mermaids lay sleeping
Dreaming their perfect dreams of heavenly visions

I’ve seen clowns dancing on graves of heroes
To where dead bodies litter the playground
And soldiers die while walking in peace


I’ve walked through the streets of mighty cities
Where the rich grow fatter and the poor lay dying
To where sleep in bed is but a distant memory

Holy men pray and propound their peace theories
In the meantime the dogs of war let off their leashes
All for the sake of the almighty dollar

All these many place I’ve been and seen
But there is one place I have never found
Is where love reigns supreme

They marched along my shoulder
we stayed quiet to the day

Can we not rise upon! they whispered
Our life Is our Stay!

To hold that Is
to grapple all
to know this is right
We shall never fall

for on darkened days
tis' the mind

shall be the mountain
all swords will melt
within the fountain

Winds come rushing in clouds go rolling by
A storm is in the making they know but will deny
Don't ask don't tell is their philosophy
So full of hate and greed
They won't stop until you bleed
Wicked seed despising the eyes that see through it all
They wanna see you fall

Don't ask don't tell philosophy
Their lips are sealed but I can see
The things they hide from you and me
Inside a world where nothing's free
What you get isn't always what you see
Don't ask don't tell philosophy

I wonder if I said to much a threatening liability
They will come for me like Leonardo davinci
they will paint a picture for all to see
They will say its me
Burning my image with smiles on their face
Hiding their eyes from what they despise
Don't ask don't tell no compromise
