Society Poems - Poems about Society

It was a wonder, How could people live so short sighted? Until a walk outside among them revealed, That their compulsions had chased away the stars. When you're surrounded by lights within arm's reach - And every urge is reciprocated ten-fold, Then how could you ever, in your wildest desires - Possibly expect to shoot for the sky? ...

Out my door, I dash To other people's doors for cash Dashing, grubhubbing, and ubering galore In an economy that's sputtering, lent-filled pockets I really abhor Rapacious eyes peruse desktops, tablets, and smartphones for eye-catching menus Man's incessant search for comfort and convenience hungrily continues Dashing, dashing past drive-thrus and beyond dining rooms Now a new and different energy looms Dough dashing Dashing for...

As I run away from the chains, not a single one of my principles drifted out of my mind, I know what's right and what's wrong for me I can take actions by chance and leaps of faith I escaped from the herd, I do not take revenge but I choose to stay calm Resentment is control,...

The T in talent are pieces of tampered glass Subjugated under capitalism, And meticulously carving out worthlessness   on the talented's carcass. The A stands for all the crumbs of appreciation You collect along your way, feeding your right and just pride Humbled by a dilemmatic correlation   of efforts and proudness. The L is tricky, which maybe the love Or...

Love women for all they do. Do not kick them around like a used pair of shoes. Do not discard them when you are done with them, send them on a path of growth and goodness. Give them love and support and help them grow. Treat women with love and respect, and give them all your love and...

The precursor Who you are and what you are is your personal dream. It is only when you speak it into the stream of the world that you can claim to be a member of A Living Society. It's your obligation to do so and the only...

I need words to catch this fire, this burning that eats me alive like a wolf in my chest, this storm that turns my bones to water. But words give me only small, broken things: love, need, want each one is a tiny box trying to hold the sea. Still, I shout, because this love is a wild horse kicking to get out, the sun breaking open...

They inhale the poisonous substance, adduction had no power over resistance; their brain's responsiveness is too slow: look at them: their glance is so mellow! This is the offspring of the floating potheads, they renounce everything that means strides; they sit in a relaxed pose with mindless eyes: soldiers fight the wars, while they enjoy puffs. " Vacant glances and sunken...

An old man once said: Freedom isn’t free As a child, I grew up, never understanding those words. As an adult, I learned, the tree of freedom is watered with blood. I thought we had paid enough. But as trees wither without water, so does freedom without its tribute. As such I hoped, we could pay with sweat and duty. But once again-we choose red......

It's right out in the open for everyone to see ~ puppets bought and paid for dancers strung and played delusional parrots with microphones hostages read the demands of a madman while maintaining somewhat of a poker face It's never been so obvious : integrity has its price....

We're mannequins peering from a storage bin. We slouch across from the "No-Food" paper sign. Its message sags to a pulp taped to the shoulders of a glass door. Shoppers, incoming, their shared orange squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'. Crowdsourcing emboldens shame, our French kisses hung on tangy wind chimes breezes tongue....

The human race, the most successful dynasty on earth. Five-foot titans, jaws gaping, eyes too wide to see their own reflections. Apex predators. The first to fall were the animals shadows with breath, their bones paved into myths. Then the land, bled dry to raise glass towers, trees fell disgusted by the massacre. The human race, the most...

I ran not out of fright, I ran not because I was chased. I ran not because I felt compelled, Nor from some urging to flee from something or someone. I ran not because others did, I ran not because I'm an idealist at heart. I ran not because...

[Verse 1] The lithium, the satellite The blood moon in a sleepless night The reels you posted, burning bright Still echo in my chest The AI wrote a lullaby The sea caught fire, the wires lie But somewhere deep behind my eyes She dances like the rest [Chorus] There she goes, my beautiful muse There she goes with nothing to lose There she goes, and I light...

They claimed this world, Its not what it seems to be. So it started to unravel, bursting at the seams. So I lied in a wake. Unable to slip away. So I'm begging you now go back to sleep. counting your stars while they poison your sheep. Once the wave is set it's doomed to repeat. Thats where they linger hidden within your dreams. Just waiting for...
