Make Your Vote Count

Although a tough decision
It warrants our attention

But if no inclination
Your mind’s on a vacation
Then vote with vindication
In order to take action

Flouting the Clout

Treat us like subjects and we'll vote you out!

Advice of the Doomed

Only mince words for society’s detriment.
Mollycoddle youth for the future’s corruption.
Beware of using political correction,
society’s wormwood; overdose for descent. 
Today’s apocalypse is due to discontent.

BAAA BAAA

           I've given up my right to keep

           Active in Political Speak

            Now, I lay me down as Sheep

Thus pertinent policy never given gesture
As we the people sip their political strychnine

POLITICAL CHOICE



Neither a follower or leader be,
middle of the flock looks alright to me.
Leaders draw noses in ass,
followers spread bull and gas.
Both make money on their endorsed crime sprees!

*For the follower or leader contest.

Annoyed with politicians
Not normal thank God!!!

Head of State

On the coast geographically
New York a cradle of culture
Liberty dwells here for sure
As well as Justice politically

Defines both a city and state
Moving forward early until late
Big Apple like a diamond glitter

Political Corruption

Partisanship hinders compromise
Oblivious voters put cronies into power
Likeability trumps substance
Idiotic commentators bicker
Tension builds amongst the people
Idealouges pollute the system
Charming individuals manipulate
Society falls apart


Short political poem by Wesley Evans | Go to this short poem

tired

Tired
Of political correctness
Cultural awareness
Sensitivity.
Tired of everything
Being an excuse
A syndrome
A disability.
Tired of a society that's
Thin-skinned
Entitled
Oblivious.
The constant bombardment
Leads to indifference
At best.
Tired.

Paleontology and Politics

I love it when she does her laundry in a very scientific way,
intrigued when she haikus about dinosaurs and paleontology;
but when she bitches not getting noticed for her political stuff,
I shake my head 'Suzie, of politics people have had enough'!

A call To all Soupers:Warning!

I just lost all thoughts
for what to write

A political debate?
A cross country race rap?
Arg i feel so ashamed,
So dim Witted
Maybe You my
Poetry Pals
Will spit out 
All you think i should write
And ill for sure dedicate it to all yours=)


Short political poem by Wilfredo Derequito | Go to this short poem

Political Postmortem

How fickle the electoral wind!
only yesterday a sure winner
but now a picture of despair.

Experience means nothing,
rhetorical prowess is best,
more like elocution contest.

Lack of substance is alright,
just talk and you are made
or end up politically dead.
