Best Geography Poems

hate knows no limits
Boston or Beirut Bombings
innocent ones die

in Paris or Pakistan
atrocities unlabeled
innocent ones die

Baghdad or Berlin
Lives should have the same value
innocent ones die

innocent ones die
religion or politics~~~
extremism kills

Terrorism reigns
the world is no longer safe
innocent ones die

say a prayer for all
terror plays no favorites
innocent ones...

Why should I let you know 
my emotional geography?

Where does that valley of pain lie surrounded by
the foggy mountains of unwinged desires?

From where those tearful rivers start their journey
meeting at the ocean of sorrow? 


How in a gloomy evening the veil of twilight 
weeps over...

Geography and Racism 

I have only seen 
Africa from the deck
Of a ship sailing by
What I know comes
From books 
White men meeting 
In darkest Africa
The merchants followed
Soldiers
And colonisation 
Racism is contagious and
It settled in the mind
Of Europeans 
The illness widened to
Include everyone not white
Now we...

Hailed countries, old and new
Old civilization, myth or true
North to South, poetry of bards
East to West like flash of cards

Names on maps are words in gaps
Eloquence or simplicity in poetry snaps

Your poetry speaks of geography
Origins of people, languages and philosophy

Your words and thoughts so grand...

Far away in a galaxy once unknown to man
A vision of mass seen from other land
She does rest there, with her people of many
North America a land of plenty

A sub continent broken away from years gone past 
She lies there watching with her coast land...

Frogs sing in Japan
too bad they croak in Tennessee

"
I have walked the silent paths of grief
Sunless,dreary,cold and all alone.
I have slept on beds of winter leaves.

I know that death’s a greedy starving thief.
Although my heart weeps and my joy has gone.
I have never felt I was deceived.

I have learned that human life is...

GEOGRAPHY     NUT

Geography - don’t get me started
Places  well-known  and some uncharted
River,  country,  mountain  and town - 
Direction  -  Alaska  up,   Australia down

Any  place   in the world
When that map’s...

HISTORY    POLITICS    GEOGRAPHY

Some guy once said there's lies, damn lies, and statistics
But he surely meant lies, damn lies, and politics;
And since all the people  are dead in history
Why to study it remains a mystery.
Where the greatest  truth...

The Cotswolds are a bunch of hills in rural England's heart
They're green and rolling, full of sheep that frolic, bleat and fart.
People come from far and wide to hike the Cotswold Way,
And from Bath to Chipping Campden lovely views enhance their stay.
The villages and towns...

Geology, geometry, biology, biography
Anthropology, psychology, geography, photography,
Psychiatry, psychometry, cartography, graphography,
So many ol-ogies and og-Raph-ies, so little time.

Yet am I studying any of them?
Not today. Today I am sitting in my lazy girl,
Watching a year’s worth of a designer show.
I have been starring at other people...

I have always been curious about people from Kurdistan
I wonder why they are called kurds
I wonder when the kurds would become keese
Just like curd becomes cheese
I wonder if birds are called “birds” because they come from “Birdistan”…..
Okay, that kurd-bird joke one time never went down...

If Earth were actually
flat as they claim,
would never meet
in opposites...
Never USA and Russia,
would approach the extremes......

In the quiet twilight, we gather here today,  
To honor my dad, remember him, and pray.  
From the promised land, he flew with no regret,  
To the fifties U.S., a different mindset.

In the old world, he wore many hats, even a soldier,...

Hidden yet rugged
At the bottom of the world 
Cool water flowing
High above Hell’s barren gates
High above ringed deception...
