Best Homeland Poems
Watan - HomelandI never saw my home land,
when I see it on TV,
a strange ache is inside me,
I do not understand.
I was born in (censored),
a country far away,
from where I currently stay.
That's where my parents fled.
How can I long for Egypt,
a country in turmoil,
with only foreign soil,
while...

Giyani My HomelandGiyani, my homeland, my forefathers land
Located deep in South Africa in the Limpopo province
Where all things are bright and beautiful
Far from fraud of fertility
It's an infamous land
The moonlight outshines the streetlight
Giyani is indeed a beauty
It's like the Garden...

My Heart In Your HomelandMY HEART IN YOUR HOMELAND
Cupid must have been busy he forgot my heart,
And so instead of a man I've fallen in love,
it is in the mountain ranges my eyes dart.
Sweet, the giddy puffy white clouds above
outstretch his arms to share a shady luff
amongst swarming emerald...

Homeland Heretics - Part OneA world was created where every individual believed that being represented
was essential as religions require symbols
to be interpreted by the ordained,
meaning of things provided for us like fertilizer on furrowed fields,
law & tax codes, medical knowledge, emotional expressions governed by consensus,
a democracy of dellusions,
dissent...

Africa My HomelandAfrica My Homeland
I am the face
fixed on a map
A space
with boundary, leaving no gap
I am a homeland
desecrated when I was abducted from my rightful nation
A brand
with a name which precedes my reputation
I am a continent
incapacitated not to live up to his flair
A dissident
doors shut...

Bleeding HomelandThe value of her name is fading,
Oh mother Ghana, mother of beauty and richness.
Every sector in her government is creating hopelessness.
A place attained from the sweat of passed souls within nationalism and confidence,
Today has appeared in darkness.
Showcasing old treasures with new born acts made out...

Homeland SecurityI'd prefer my mania back
Don't give me a panic attack
The TV heads state
Global threats are so great
As part of the blitzing wolf pack
Author's note: Global security is the key to "homeland" security. The real problem with this idea is that it means addressing...

Homeland Heretics - Part TwoThe new millenia has delivered a genesis
of global corporate government,
a religion of salvation through submission to the State,
politicians as priest, as pest,
collection plates around every corner,
confession rooms in community centers, communion with false currency,
tax code as Bible, Commander in Chief as Christ,
the man...
