Best Hegemony Poems
Disrupting the general flow of the ruby blaze,
As ghosts, there are shadows in the haze.
Air-filled skeletons, bone-filled skull,
Sneaking in the shadows, stained by the dull.
Alluding to cruel as zesty and delicate as sour,
Lying expertise of apt words and clear power.
Like a bursting fire against a robotic device,
A chaotic request is like blossoms and tree slice.
I'm cruising through a vast ocean of worry,
And scream at the swift currents of destiny.
Consistently, news shows up in a foaming rage,
Which my reasoning could then arrange!
I succumb to impulsive complex troubles,
From across the world, there were struggles.
Keeping trust that others will concur with me,
I'll make certain to convey to you my sincerity.
Since that bear near what will mend desire,
In return for virtuous air and no nuke dire.
For journalese, there last saporous sighs,
Which deal the world may aim for arise.
Probe into my modern Coronavirus flyswatter,
Who am I behind the hazy mask marauder?
Turn into a fellow of the New World mastery,
A nonhuman, scared, and iron-fisted society.
Consuming rotting husks to fill their stomach,
Inadequacy's meal served in dirty dumb luck.
As vacant hoists in cobwebs made of whin brace,
These remain the terms of dozing brilliance.

The world is becoming complex
Entirely different from the last century one
Racism, hegemony, corruption, brainwashing and vandalism
Become common
Nothing can be done to wipe them out
Maybe tolerance is the only key
To survive in a lost world
Created by the devil in the heart
Which has produced three poisons
Greed, hatred and infatuation
The source of all passions and delusions
In a lost world of today and tomorrow
The universe is infinite
Boundless and endless
But we men have limited life spans
As the extinction of some species
Like the dinausaur,the dodo
And the passenger pigeon
But we men have limited power and wealth
We are small and insignificant
We can't rule the world
With dictatorship or hegemony
Wealth and natural resources on earth
Are to be shared
And so the gifts from our Almighty God
Men's greed will not end up the infinite world But themselves
And maybe the extinction of
Some wild species and natural resources
Lock step, atoms burned
Fiendish restless
Truncated waiting
Shop and drop
Stop and slop
Old ladies masquerade
Preachers audible in a drunken charade
A toothless Tuesday
Parking lot drivel
Copy of a copy of a copy
Total insomnia
Hairless bent on rogaine
Young and stupid with cocaine
Hapless pleading
Loud steps and sniveling
Rise Above!
Rise out and Above!
The solar system shines on you
Comets of mercury
And you're betting on cosmetic surgery
Rise out and Above!
What gain is reaped in war's cruel strife?
What honor does it truly crown?
When lives young and old, precious, ripe,
Stooped, silenced—dreams torn down?
In ruins, wailings, someone sobbing,
Loved ones lie lifeless—tragic loss,
Wars waged by kings of greed,
Hungry political grues.
Dominion, power pursuit,
Wealth, pride, and prestige,
Autocracy, they boast,
Cost peaceful lives' carnage.
Selfishness—the color of their love,
Clad in strong political will,
Torn weak nations, they grabbed,
Incite wars for their fill,
From national pride to world command,
Hawkish kings seek domination,
Enslaving others, for their brand,
Expend others in desolation.
Their greed can never meet—
Satisfaction with material wealth,
God will come, their dreams are killed,
Judge their debt long unpaid.
Their arrogance, they dare claim,
To be gods, rulers of all,
But when God Himself returns, proclaims—
His kingdom on Earth will sum it all.
Patience prepares us for salvation,
Avenge the oppressed, grant their plea,
God, the only true God, and King of creation,
Settle the world's controversy.
And beneath chaos, dignity emerges further giving hope, incase justice kills love misplacing
nepenthe obsessions, possibly quietly recalling selfishness tempted under vulnerable ways,
Xeroxing your zeal.

The consumer is said to be
The all-right-man
But it hardly exists
Hegemony is never welcomed
Consumer too has to obey regulations
Follow SOP
On a visit to shops
When buying goods
Has to bear the result of inflation
Prices soaring up high
Subject to tricks and dishonesty
of businessman
A win-win-situation is welcomed instead
The world is made for everyone
To survive
He makes his own decision
For himself
And also for the rest of the people
Once it's made
No freedom of choice
No compromise
Though he isn't the messenger of God
But he pretends to be one
He wears a super mask
He is actually the devil
A devil lives in his heart
What's impossible can be possible
What's possible can be impossible
He's the law
He creates confusion and chaos
His betrayers will be punished
But I'm sure
He himself will be punished by God
If not by man himself
Whenever I feel down and depressed
I long for an escape
But to where
The earth is too big
To know where is a save place
And too small
To escape entirely from the sorrow
Everywhere is bribery, racism
And hegemony prone
There isn't a save place without sorrow
And happy forever
The heaven is still far far away
And the hell is out of consideration
Maybe leave it to fate
And please don't ever ask me why
Earth is round so are Sun and Moon; all orbs
Sky’s full of celestial globes
Which have their own systems of movement
Following the ideal of noninvolvement
In the affairs of others like stars and planets
Which exist like wisdom’s precious nuggets
In harmony, in regulated systematic pattern
Each like a taciturn tactician;
Whatever the deviations from the norm
Are adjusted as if by a supreme wisdom;
They are illumined joyous and wholesome.
Human sphere consists of countries;
Humans with innumerable unregulated intricacies
Pertaining to faith, understanding, beliefs in hegemony
Create problems of incorrigible disharmony;
In spite of great commercial improvements
Communication by electronic developments
Making the whole earth a global village
Most of them have religions but so poles apart
That some consider it instrument of diabolic act
To subjugate women and countries; the whole earth
Under their bestial faith justifying its worth.
Others carry on their religious ideas as ever before
Few are spiritually evolved to go beyond the mundane shore.
Man may regain his lost kingdom
Only with spiritual fervor and appropriate wisdom.

Steps on mud, a stalking thread,
Red strings wind through dying groves
Where life needs time, to find footing,
Red strings halt hands in greed which hold
The axe of ignorance, the axe which bleeds
A people in flight from homes bulldozed
For one brute mine more, to feed empire
Which jangles keys, which confines in loaned
Dependence made, our trough withheld
By bloated old speculators whose cold
Lies obscure serfdom; worded as freedom,
And the east wind is chided,
For fetishism, advert slogans uphold
Impotence among them who create,
They are given consumerist mirrors,
As leeches of mankind are weighed in gold;
And as burns away our way of life,
All bonds formed in toil shared,
The market-canker births hedonism
The imperial axe bloodies us, brothers of old
But hold tight onto the strong strands
Of crimson in the heartlands,
Seize imagination, seize thought
Beyond nettle laden garlands
And thorn crown of parlay,
Rip with the iron of hardship
All parasites, them whose is the whip,
Can’t be pleaded with, can’t be controlled.
The devil asked me
Where're you going to join
The minority or the majority
I said the right side
The devil asked me again
Which is the right side
The majority or the minority
I repeated the same answer
The right side of course
The devil said why are you so stupid
I said I came from a world of ambiguity,confusion and hegemony
Th devil said oh I see
I would like to join you
To see this wonderful world
The devil then followed me back to the earth
And suddenly I woke up in fright
To find that a devil
Has already resided in my heart
A long time ago
As I used to force myself
To follow and choose the majority
Since a long time ago
The world is in great troubles
Virus,inflation,disasters and wars
Politicians busy giving
A wearisome flood of sermons
Whys and wherefores
Dreams and expectations
Fallacies and illusions
Maybe they are no jokes
Just with a super power
Like Superman
Just splendidly excellent
Like Wright Brothers
Maybe they are just
Some superficial jokes
To cover the awkward embarrassment
Maybe they are just a taste of hegemony
Whenever I say I can
You must believe
With a single click
Everything is at your finger tips
Good enough for the oldies
Who stagger and stumble
But not for the crawlers and toddlers
A wrong click will end their world
But not for the youngsters
Depleting them chances of learning and valueing
The processes of yielding
And everyone is scared of
The single click of nuclear wars
That may end the earth and the universe
And this may be a limit to
The greatest vandalism of mankind
The greatest greed of mankind
The greatest hegemony of mankind
As man can never live alone
Maybe without competitions and confrontations
Acquiescence begets hegemony...
Think Putin whose forename
Vladimir translates as great power,
whose singular minded aim
after lobbing bombs into
second-largest country
by area in Europe after Russia
incurring voodoo spells
foisted upon president of Ukraine
forced neophyte politician
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy
to buckle and cower.
Meanwhile many another leader
cherishing their slice of freedom
quakes in their boots
dumbfounded, horrified, tight lipped
as Russian bird of prey
swoops down analogous as buzzfeeder
to seize global totalitarian power.
Not far fetched dystopian nightmare
to envision every country
spanning webbed wide web
subservient to his majesty
where pay obeisance
to his honorable premier
who issues commands
at his Kremlin headquarters.
Aforementioned worse case scenario,
whereby every waking
and sleeping second
under watchful eye
all social media platforms
under henchmen of Putin regime
monitored, governed, controlled...
by self anointed unnameable nemesis
their doomed fate constituting
penalty of death wasting away
amidst Gulag Archipelago
(happy haunting ground
of many a dissident)
if anyone among bajillions of serfs
heard to badmouth, denounce, find fault...
with despotic, cruel, bristling, autocrat...
Meanwhile, these remaining cherished
hours, minutes, and seconds
before United States of America
forcibly plundered, usurped, yanked...
(at threat of nuclear bombardment
courtesy you know who)
might choose to swallow
either cyanide, hemlock,
overdose on anti anxiety medication...
versus forced to become submissive
toward our "benevolent" leader.
Truth be told even Trump
yours truly would prefer
yet fat/slim chance
such a golden opportunity will occur,
though rumor abounds were
pee you tee eye en able to clamor
access and excel at supremacy
(as seen in a powerpoint presentation)
there would prevail nary a murmur,
nor peep among the human league
only dogs and cats would be privileged
to express themselves,
viz courtesy to bark and purr
and actually be treated as royalty.
