Political / Social Poems (810)

Time lost to thee

Ancient as the old oak tree

Fleeting as the bumble bee

Grasp for that little glee

The caged bird wishes to be free

Look really hard....
See? Here I am
The packaging is a bit worn perhaps
But look inside
Beyond the wrapping
See?
No....wait!!
That one's unfinished, unversed...
I know it's agleam now, but that will fade
And the packaging will fray


Look really hard.....
I'm in here

Not
women versus men
rainbow versus white
rich versus poor
working versus entitled
nor
strong versus weak
gender versus gender-bender
proud versus meek
blue versus red

But rather
one voice
the voices of many
as one
one country
one world

sharing
loaves and fishes
sharing
love
sharing
peace

in
thankfulness

When the chinese used fireworks for celebrations
They used a black powder called gunpowder, it has two
Practical uses for making harmess fireworks or creating
Explosions for rocket missiles during their wars, the same
Was also used for rifles and guns, they celebrated their
Chinese New Year with these exploading fireworks, but as
Time went on the gunpowder was used to make a huge
Explosion by a man called Guy Fawkes, he planned to blow
Up the British Houses of Parliament, his plan misfired and
He was caught along with his accomplices, and sent to jail.
England now celebrates this night as Guy Fawkes Night
It is on the 5th of November, and families get together
As they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
They also have a large firework display during this event.
Yes gunpowder has many uses and it is used for good
Purposes as well as evil, it can be also used in Dynamite
An explosive which has been used in construction in
Various ways for good, or misused by theives to blow up
Bank vaults, but all these different variations of uses
The end result is that it nearly always goes off with a bang.

With all the things the world has to offer, why is it, as we get older, we become softer? With all the inspirations one can muster, why does life become cluttered? As we try to be the best we can, with good intentions not everything goes to plan. Life is a trial no doubt, but we feel miserable if we have to go without, live, love and learn, as we grow through life we learn to live, love and even yearn.

We all grow on borrowed time, its not questionable, it’s a very fine line and precise, the complexities of life is not how we lived it or what we have done, but how we share it with others, we are all on the same rock, none of us are exempt, why do some view others with contempt? We are all different in our ways, but who gave someone else to right to question who, how or what we do as right or wrong? For far to long we have been told how it will be, where did our right to be free go? Our right to think how we like, to openly say how we feel, without question or doubt or be judged by an equal.

Why do people feel the desire to control others, do they think its right? When will they learn that humanity when suppressed will always try to fight, for freedom and liberty, to be free as a bird and to take flight. Why has humanity been programmed to be in competition? Why must we keep up with the rich & infamous, why can’t we be humble enough for what we need, instead of being left to feel we want what others have.

And when you get to an age to sit back and ponder and wonder, why you went through it all, just remember that it was because it was what you were told how to use the one thing you outright owned…… that was your life!!

My fellow Americians I would like to speak
today on the school shootings
I think we should hxycklng and hughxcjjmvk
this situation more carefully..
Guns should be yzhvkjmkcbzggxjnjffccmmkc
or at least ckvmjxhxxcjcnc, and everybody
knows that a loaded gun might xkvkhxhmmvmm
and kill someone..
But! To be quite clear on this subject I HCJCVVxvgv
and hccddcvmjkfkvk jccj vkvvg cjvvkkmvvk mgvkbk
for the long term.
You, of course would say that I am full of shjfflbmmv
and bull mmmk.
We have a solution which is to talk this thing to death
until the next child gets shmmffkkktvv and ucmkkvhjpl.
I think I have made my case so get off my asshgbhvkkmk.
To be jcmgfcjkgvmkgmkkmmmik should show the world
how nuts we junogkkolkooblll are
Thank you-----

Who am I kidding
The world doesn't know me
And know me never will

What am I saying
Said it before
Saying it still

Like a song about a river
But never to cross it in style
No I never will

Then where am I going
Nowhere I feel
My home has allways been a place
Never upon but over the hill

Who am I kidding
The world doesn't know me
And know me never will

I was waiting with patience
For my Nexflix to come in the mail
The shiny red envelope was my favorite piece of mail
Where did you go?
I found out with a lot of prying on your website
You no longer allow just a dvd in the mail
You have to have the streaming first
Then you can add the dvd option for another eight bucks
You changed and seperated the two and I paid the 16 bucks for a while
Now you want me to pay for a service
I don't even use so I can get eight dvds in the mail a month
that would be two bucks a dvd
I can get them at the library for free
I can get them at Redbox for 1.29
Redbox doesn't charge a monthly fee either
I'd like to keep you around
but for now I have to say
bye bye!

Tis Mind Boggling!

Mine is not to reason why, mine is but to do or die!

Tis like seeing a sinking ship go under the water of a stormy sea.

Down goes marriage without a hope!

This is a dictionary question … Whether tis nobler to lose the centuries old premise of marriage, the dictionary says, marriage is a legal union of a man and a woman.

Or to take up a sea of troubles and change the dictionary’s significance and accept the new marriage revolution of the concept that marriage can also be between two individual men or between two individual woman whom can be married together under the eyes of the law.

Aye, there’s the rub forcing this upon the multitude, by lobbyists, government, power and money.

Whether tis nobler in the mind and the courts, to consummate this act by the minority, without the will of the majority.

Tis a shot-gun wedding by the Federal courts and the individual States. Does this man take this man or does this woman take this woman as their lawful spouse in the eyes of our new connived laws?

It use to be a man and woman in a mass of Holy or Civil matrimony was for the purpose of procreating children and family life … but what now?

Now to say the least, to promote such a radical change of centuries old tradition is mind boggling to the naive.

Poem

Old Marriage style passing bye

Is the new fashion for you and I

Does man and woman’s marriage and their love stand a chance

Or do we live In a revolution of wanton hopeless romance
.....................................

Confused, I think I’d rather just live together! Lol

Tis not my place to judge!

The Multitude are on their own!

I have no opion,just an observation ...

I don’t need your Edge-u-may-kay-shun!
For me it aint got no relations
You can take your tangents, co sins and things
When I leave school, I is gonna be famous and sing
Music lesson?, woman listen stop stressin
They got music dictators and shit to take care of it
I got it all sorted, me and Bianca have fought it all out
She has a mate that cleans the floors for that Simon Cowell
She going to bang him a couple of our rhymes
And then roll on wiff all the good times
You can keep your Edge-u-may-kay-shun
I don’t need that stuff, I got talent I can sing
