Best High Treason Poems


Premium Member Sophie
Sophie Scholl was raised a Christian in a Lutheran family
Born in the town of Forchtenberg in south west Germany
For standing defiant against evil with her young life she'd pay
In a country that was in deep turmoil and had lost its way.

She was a young teenager...

*Like Caesar I wrote this in the 3rd person:) 

In third person he talks just like Caesar
Stuffing bagfuls of sweets in the freezer
Mumbles loud in his sleep
An appointment can’t keep
Often plucks at his brows with a tweezer.

With false tan he conceals his complexion
In shop windows...

No one lives in a democracy opening word lie 
Let's be frank for a moment we are all slaves 
unto a taxpaying system none the less true 

Graded by our salary in class distinction fact 
poor lawless order is the ruling bodies ignorance 
that takes...

Premium Member When God Died
Bold Nietzsche declared, “God is dead,”
Humans have killed him, so he said.
Enlightened men, all widely read,
have purged his being from their head.

God decomposed and left a stench,
That human genius cannot quench.
The promise of enlightenment
Instead of light has brought man blight.

God’s substitute, goddess reason
The symbol of...

A TWICE REFORMED CLOWN
There is an eerie silence,
 In the Big Top,
Not a sound is heard,
A heart beat could stop,
A hush envelops one,
And all,
Only the Ringmaster,
Whistles a call.
Suddenly with splendor,
And gust,
In burst the entertainers,
With such lust,
Everyone’s in the mood 
For laughter,
But is the clown that
Comes...

Pamphlet (Birth of a Constitution)
London’s Guildhall, John Lilburne is frogmarched in
A man Cromwell considered a friend,
To stand before him accused of high treason
His actions against parliament to defend

As radical leader of the ‘Levellers’
John opposed Parliament fervently,
With his clandestine printing network
Speaking out of its tyranny;

Power, John Lilburne argued
Belonged with the...

Premium Member Lady Jane Grey's Last Day
Here I am facing my death at age sixteen.
Each moment of my life has been a foreboding scene.
I never had desire to be this nation’s queen.

Devoid of love and care from my mother,
it seems I could not trust her or any other.
Merely a pawn in...

The Gods Must Be Crazy
The Gods must be crazy
Or they never lived
And those that depend on them to give
Blessings peace and life after death
Had better not be holding their breath

If They live They’ve given so much
The Inquisition Jihad and such
War after war after war after war
Priestly abuse the concept...

The Abandon Farm
I have always wanted something wonderful out of life
But my mother said there is always a price
It has nothing to do with land, money or property 
Someone has always been there for me and I am very sorry
Cowards hide behind their doors causing a terrible...

Freedom and Religion
Brainwashed to think you’re free
By men who think they know
They lead you on and you follow
While all you are is a devotee
They think of you as a sheep in a flock
While you follow on and hand your head
You help them and their lies you spread
While...

Premium Member Mary's Farewell
In a short time, you will be my executioner.
Your actions shall be considered a favor.
You say to me “Lady, please forgive me”.
I, Mary Stuart, am grateful for your sympathy.
You are putting me out of my misery.

It was purely by providential chance,
that I should rule both...

but the doubts about Protestantism beset him
and after further study,
he returned to Catholicism.

arrested by priest hunters
in Anglican England 
for teaching about the Christ.

and executed in England,
which had been  Catholic for...

Ultimate Bad Friends
They demean your value and destroy your image,
utter wild cries like creatures in pain,
their expressions change with the rapidity of a kaleidoscope,
faces change with each turn of their talk, 
like a wheat-field under a summer breeze,
flounders like a huge conger-eel in an ocean of dingy...

All for the black liquid underground
Stealing riches fact to face 
An elitist group of people 
an illumatti condemns a nation falsely 
without just cause or evidence 
to back up actions or such vile deeds 
against another race 
Now for me that shades the colour 
Shadows...
