America Poems | Examples

What time is it now?

The fear of indoctrination
The cost to be free
Suffering of a system
That keeps us ill
The attempts to keep us fighting 
and never to see
How they stop us from moving
And try to keep us still
The shift in continuity 
The change of the oppressed 
Those with greed in there hearts
and the lack of value of life has crest
It dosen't matter
what side is in control
Oppression is oppression 
And we must challenge it with what's in us that is best

Premium Member Pennies from Heaven

I rose up hard through the ranks,
Shining shineless shoes aglow.
Some just paid me with their thanks,
Plus just a penny a toe!

On my long way to the top,
I shined tears from eye to eye.
Because sometimes shoes would stop,
Alas, most shoes just went by!

So, I just scrimped and I slaved,
Put every penny away.
I knew every penny saved,
Would shine gold for me some day!

Had spit-polish dues to meet,
I sang the St. Louis Blues.
Saw more than a million feet,
And more than ten miles of shoes!

But every shoe that would stop,
Just one more penny to peck.
Till packs of pennies would drop,
And put gold around my neck!

All those precious pennies earned,
I fondly think on once more...
The golden rule's what I learned,
Now I own my own damn store!

Look at the mad period needy

that government of the people, for the people and by the people

Is it worthy of forgiveness if you're mistaken about the expression:

    ". . . that government of the people, for the people, and by the people, should not perish from the Earth"

believing it was spoken by one of the "Founders"?

  When Abraham Lincoln was faced with the threat of "Secession - when a number of the "Southern States" decided to "... dissolve the bonds" that made America a single nation to become a nation unto themselves, this most-basic-understanding of what it means to be "A People" - One Nation was in jeopardy and in many respects, it appears we have not yet successfully resolved the troubles this question posed! 

  What does it mean to be a citizen then and what does it mean to be free. What is "Liberty" in our understanding and practice and what color does your skin have to be to be considered even human because, these are the questions, I submit, that hang before us still - the questions that will determine whether or not we can continue to exist as a single nation.

An Immortal's Prophecy

The stench of endless days clings to my name;
My folly, like a rust, but stings not him.
A meek heart paid for by relentless blame,
Youth’s bitter wine- a draught forever grim.

Past twilights reel in cadences untrue,
I fall, a penitent within the flame;
Bound to repentance- ash where roses grew,
My voice, the echo of a sullied name.

O sickle, strike the valleys we once promised,
Lay low the ghosts that haunt my dwindled shore.
Let golden breaths on iron fleece be kissed,
And singe the thought that kept me wanting more.

So let the world unspool what once I wore,
That even ruin might return me pure.

the man who fell to earth

The man who fell to earth

He embraced the conservative dogma, but he was also
like Tucker Carlson, a committed Christian, believing in 
The gospel and God's son, Jesus.
He embraced the duality of Judaism and Christianity
Israel had given him money for his views and loved
by the likes of Netanyahu, and Trump was his friend
Then it went wrong, the suffering of Palestine bothered
His Christian soul that protested
He moved away from his certainties and spoke of his dread
All hell broke out, and it was pointed out to him that taking 
The shilling had to follow a path they had pointed out for
him, he baulked at this and became more convinced
They were wrong
For his unwavering faith, he was shot dead, a martyr who
stood his ground, when he, like many others, did, could
have looked away.
Charlie Kirk was a hero who will be remembered for 
a long time to come

Your guns don’t work.
They just cause hurt.
If the law doesn’t change, 
It will happen again.

Ode to our 101

As olden
My crate is bothered 
Again in milks nestle
Tiler of salt and creek
Abrupts the smitten teaks
So hardened in Finnish
Carved as turnip 
Young gentle artisan and I
His trolley rails
From gentle Oranges County
Hearing days labor in gus tide
Ventura he sails
Bringing floors tapping
And in Santa Monica his best hides


Docile Does Defeat 

Feathered wide
Apart as stride
Tipping blooms
Cautious feud
Disabled pollens
Meeting mew
Brewing nets
Callous frets collisions
Darkest reflections take

Premium Member Alien Nation

Alien eyes gaze from a crystal mist of white,
Beckoning, encompassing, consuming your light.
You're now helplessly suspended in wingless flight,
So, don't look for an exit...there's no exit in sight!

They amble and ramble, then they scramble your mind, 
The past becomes present, as you'll presently find.
Once you're prodded and poked, then you're poked from behind,
And all of you thought that...Genghis Khan was unkind!

Then you find yourself back, right back where you started,
You've been prodded and poked, then neatly discarded.
Your mind has been snapped cuz, your brain's been bombarded,
White-eyed and caged with the...mentally departed!

They whisk off to D.C., what else could be sweeter,
"We can't "Peter" around, our ship's on the meter!"
"We just heard that your "Boss," 'snot much of a reader,"
"I can't read either Jack!"..."TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!"

Assuming You Knew


Presumably assuming, 
Presents peculiar perspectives,
Within our collective, 
As a selective few move through, 
Unabated, 
Unafraid of the path laid before them,
Restoring glory to an old story,
As we climb assuming the truth, 
Teaching our youth what's true, 
Sharing the beauty of the view 
As we stew the pot, 
It's getting hot and ready to boil, 
The soil ripe for sowing, 
As we keep growing as a whole, 
Giving love the control, 
Governing our own soul, 
Presumably assuming the best, 
We have passed the test, 
You guessed it, 
I'm talking about you, 
I assume you already knew, 
Just what you came to do.

Salvations droplets

Craven images devout plights
Nestled as high 
Illusive runts

Stain them

Premium Member The Gaslighters, from Rebels to MAGA

They pretend that they all follow Jesus
from their necks, hang gold crosses from chains
But their bastardized form of religion
is a poison that runs through their veins

Their own version is hateful and angry
fearing all that they don’t understand
So they seek to remain in a bubble
isolated from all that they’ve banned

Each accusal is simply a cover
for the crimes that they daily commit
Every time that they wish to blame others
it turns out it’s a true MAGA fit

All their lies are a perfect perversion
of the fear that they feel deep inside
Be it gender, religion or color
they choose bigoted hate as their guide

Be prepared for the fight that is coming
being framed as preventing a steal
MAGA is the Confederacy rising
Because laws cannot change how they feel

WOMAN BE SAFE

Woman be safe, and put your health before your need for wealth. 
Wealth is good, and money is a need, but health and safety are the first and most important thing you need to live. 
Woman please be safe, and use all the care for yourself, love yourself and don’t be in a rush. 
Take time in your life, to build your life, making every decision that will help you get to all your goals in life. 
No need to rush, or make a hasty choice, love and care are the things you need most in life. 
Woman, please stay safe, use your time wisely, don’t let anyone rush you into a choice, stay aware and take care of yourself. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
