Best Elected Poems

The Elected

Sharks leave the water to campaign on land
Drink Champagne at political parties
Draw blood; circle around, troll for enemies 
Take contributions with a wink
Tease young girls, kiss babies, follow rules
To the point of razor sharp teeth
Follow schools of fish
Delicious to eat
Sharks don’t just swim. ...

Ladies and gentlemen; in this 
time of political upheaval and 
uncertainty, we must never 
forget those things which seem 
to be forgotten. Those things 
that only we can remember. 
The things that our forefathers 
remembered, and never forgot. 
Remembering what it took to 
never forget,...

If you come in 'like a wrecking ball' 
in your bare essentials,
you must expect
the shrapnel to cut deeper
than the skin,
lest you hide behind 'the party line'.

Politically speaking
if now we are being softened up 
for the deep and gruesome cuts 
in the budget to come, 
then...

Canzonetta
-elected-

True love is just another useless word,
So I accept this low-class life of mine.
There's no true love in this world,
So I do my best to cross the line.
With wires of pleasure spiking through,
Go figure, I erupt with nothing but lies.
I was numb before, so I...

Everyone's talking about crime these days
     So few police, it seems thuggery pays

   No hotter topics than murder or theft
     No matter your politics be right or left

   Though in Chicago one issue's...

Elected in election's, year after year
They stand on their podiums, declaring their seer's
Telling us proudly in the hope that we'll sap
Basically it's all lies as they tell so much crap
 
How can they stand there and lie through their teeth
It beggars believe it would make...

Discrediting plausibility 
by shredding their humility 
to a place of vulnerability 
devoured by inabilities 
cowardice incompetence 
showered into consciousness 
empowered causing confidence 
validation found in compliments 
a false sense of accomplishment 
resort to intense punishment 
to knock down their competitors 
who speak of truth not...

Help Me Get Elected

By Elton Camp

Ron was a member of the fifty-three percent
But it was belly-up that his company went

“I have to fire people,” the new owner said
“So that this firm won’t operate in the red.”

It was into his IRA Ron was forced to dip
Now...

To enter this contest on Poetry Soup
They asked for a tale, a story – THE POOP
The only condition, you had to produce
The story as written by the great Dr. Seuss

Now this story begins as most stories start
With the who, when and where and all of...

As the newly-elected president of the grand ol' U. S. of A. 
I would tell the truth to friend and foe alike and, like it or not, 
Order all legal federal actions against former leaders dropped. 
I will proclaim the cherished values that make our...

The jokes here about leaders show 
How uniformed we truly are.
Some supernatural......sinless, poets 
living up with the twinkling stars?

Are you kidding me??
What planet do you live on?
The great “unelected” white washed 
masses?

I see many whose comments are to 
humiliate any leader.
As if every Poet here...

Who Elected Recent Presidents
By Franklin Price
2/1/2016

Who elected recent presidents?
My guess is you don't know
It was not the ones who voted 
But the ones who did not go

If you are of the majority
Whose ballots end up blank
Don't be disenchanted with results
You only have yourself to thank...

They are, 
Still in touch with reality
They Value logistics over statistics,
They ask the right questions.

They don't believe in a totally cashless society,
Their vision for the future includes a roadmap,
That leads to prosperity for more than 10.

They see People, Water and the environment,
As assets that should...

We know that it was an inside job, that President Trump incited the mob. Why was home land security sent away to a place of obscurity? Where was the FBI who warned that some thing was going to fly? If heads must roll and some...
