Best Foreign Aid Poems


On a Roll With the Dole
Sending foreign aid just doesn’t make sense
With American families living in tents
Just how many countries rushed to give cash
When into New Orleans Katrina crashed

San Andreas fault runs through our nation
Cross Western states, widespread devastation
Our British, Aussie and Canadian friends
Are the only ones on whom we...

Tribute Documentary Zimbabwe’s Forgotten Children


Mama will be left behind when I die
I’m too sick to survive
My education was put to an end
When papa had no more to spend
We walk over sewage water
And sell plastic bottles for cents
We eat leafy greens and maze...

Hello! Mars!
Are you there?
We got some money for you down here!
Do you need some foreign aid
I tell you what we'll do

we'll beam some up to you!
And if you need some more someday
our address is NASA BLACK...

The Peoples Servant
THE PEOPLES SERVANT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


He was here today promised pie in the sky
But we’ll soon discover its  just another lie
They’ll say anything that to them is a plus
But once they are in they  make fools  of us
They need our vote to get...

Third World
We live in a Third World country
Where most breathe in poverty
Where progress is way too slow
As corruption disrupts its flow

We see children sleep in streets
With no shelter, no food to eat
We face dreadful traffic everyday
Public works here is a rife dismay

We often hear and see...

Remarkable in brewery and port, foreign aid and cheese production
founders of the twin Giants of the nation within the oceans
having the cultivating- Land of glowing lights;
a global focal point in bicycle riding
and a historic mountain top in windmill usage,
yet named as a glorified settlement but...

My Malawi - Independence Day Poem
We were not a nation, but just a continent 
Africa with kingdoms 
then, we violently got segmented and detached by people who never understood us 
we were sliced as if we were bread, 
then, one precious piece appeared, 
a sweet-potato shaped 
only to find itself...

Hungry
Read a story the other day about one out of five children in the U.S. go hungry.
Amazing to me because no child should go to bed with stomachs grumbly.
This country gives a lot to other countries in foreign aid.
Why don’t we curb that? Feed our...

Patriot Parade Part 1
It was said by pilgrim sons next to the Boston Harbor,
That to take tax without redress was action of dishonor.
And so a team of farmers went and built themselves an army,
To drive the redcoats off their land and end George’s tyranny.

We’re beating drums and ask...

Liberian Civil War Prayer
It was a time of great and exalting excitement,
Until the country was again up in arms and agitation.
The war was on,
Indeed tough and elusive,
Era has made it way;
The melody of birds singing in the trees,

Had been converted to the rhymes of guns and violence.
Faces begun...

Siege of Jerusalem
As the last twinkle
In the brown eyes of Jesus
Faded to heaven
The morning star left Jesus
Darkness covered all
The sun of the archons set
The binding veil torn
Those ones in the sleep of death
Were awakened hence
For the sun of Christ rose up
Envy and dumbness
Were left in the empty...

Glittering Generalities
GLITTERING GENERALITIES

I vow that you will be happily effected
If I am elected by your selection
At the forthcoming election.
With great dedication 
I shall diligently bother
To uphold the glory of this great nation
Founded by our forefathers!
National debt,
Is dragging us under,
Forlornly unmet,
Tearing us asunder!
I shall keep economy healthy

Up In Flames

My daughter heard
a Decent Cool-lio smart phone stranger
(with an African sounding name)
give a four fifty one Fahrenheit warning
Some said: the fellow was loco insane
Others said, 
not taking heed was the crux to blame

Mr. O Mgeni
said he saw a sickly pale man,
in an ivory tower,
feverishly delirium...
