Band Poems - Poems about Band

I was driving our new bus down a rural lane Potholes, rocks, the bus began to complain GPS didn't reach, I told the rock band As we bumped along in no man's land. This will wreck my guitar, said Tony the Rock: Don't they make tour buses with at least one shock? The drums were colliding, the keyboard took a spill The...

A thin film of promise stretched across the gaping wound of hunger. A peso shaved, a temporary reprieve, a headline shouting victory while the roots remain tangled. The farmer still sweats under a sun that scorches profit, the middleman still pockets a lion's share, the land still whispers of forgotten support. This small cut, neatly bandaged for the cameras, does it staunch the deeper bleeding? Will it nourish the soil of long-term...

Am I here, am I there ... Am I screaming everywhere, Can't get in, can't get out Snared by what it's all about Beats of blue-green 'round my head Share the space with rockets of red, Splashes of yellow paint pour ...

What of the woman buried alive in their sleep? What of the children who once stood brave? Their minds controlled their souls enslaved The baneful trumpets sound...

I was not around when America, the country, was formed… but a younger more innocent me was brought up thinking this is is the greatest...

I had the worst terrors last night My mind was in a gruesome sight The ‘ol apocryphal scene Insighted by the new regime Migration bill stirs fear among Farmworkers chant that It’s Wrong! Phone app saves Honduran journalist Can’t go back she’s on their death list Can’t walk ‘n get food without stress ICE is cold, enforcing arrests Or anywhere, nonetheless For...

I watched one thousand waves crash on the shore Echoing, howling, there is so much more I watched one thousand trees sway East to West I had fallen beneath them after doing my best I could still hear the bird calling, from where I said goodbye The bear on the mountain couldn't find me and wondered why There's so much to...

I’m in the band called “Beg Your Pardon” Our latest, “The Luddits Headway” Sells well, and the “Forest of Arden” Our hit, has got some airplay There ain’t no plans for touring though: The phase of changes lingers on Our singer left to form the “Zoo” Our drummer yesterday has gone The reason was the weak attendance Our captive crowd went away Eventually, our...

When you live on a farm and hear cockadoodle-doo What do those words mean to you? They mean pretty soon you'll hear moo, and you'll have lots of work to do. After a while, the horse will neigh, and, before you know it, you are bailing hay. I wished that rooster hadn't made a peep, so I turned over and went...
