Best Homeland Poems


Premium Member Watan - Homeland
I 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 Homeland
Giyani, 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...

Security of My Homeland
Sitting on the boundary, defending Pakistani border, 
Not feeling alone as its Almighty Order, 
Security the way I take Almighty Pleasure, 
Face all troubles Don’t matter how Harder, 

You the sword of nation, and country pride, 
Chest you up brave heart, don’t sit aside, 
Strive...

MY 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...

Premium Member Homeland Heretics - Part One
A 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 Homeland
Africa 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 Homeland
The 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...

I'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...

Premium Member Homeland Heretics - Part Two
The 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...

those powerful hands, embodying strength, offering a refuge, 
          the determined voice which carried assurance to fearful souls....
    a banyan tree stretching its branches to provide shade to the beaten.

Birch
Sycamores certainly speak French, cypresses - ancient Greek, the Old Testament's olives are bilingual: they speak Hebrew and Aramaic. Birch is a Russian tree though growing in Canada. So small and frail (they wither abroad), already gone into a winter trance, she is silent but...
