Best Ideologues Poems

Watch out for that ideology
Bad effects on your psychology
It bleeds into our sociology
‘Til we hate one another’s biology

Let’s make a pact
To get our facts together
Have no ideology
Whatsoever

Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Amin –
Terminating angels of some fantastic machine
Marx and Weber and Keynes and Rand
Raised...

...She said,”I need to talk about something,
that for a long while has bothered me.
For the first time in all of my life,
I do not know what I should be.

“For so long I had it all laid out,
I ‘understood’ the point of all this.
I would be...

Stone set unblemished unworked faces create hardship floors on which to sip out of rock puddles. Such luxury. In a fine art landscape one must always wear clicking heels. And one must always lift ones head and toss one's bowl hairdo around. It gives an...

REBELLIOUS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


A rebellious act is not  always a showing of disrespect
It may be an activity for a right you’re trying to protect
Every fiat and decree issued  by an agency of the government
Will alienate some creating disapproval and discontent
The reaction by the issuer...

Missions on a selfie stick is described as a result of a sudden appearance. But a carbonated omitted beast is not normally associated with a dramatic spoon and cables dancing are very often fragrant. Neat is neither a feet nor is it a metric metre....

Empty Shells

A wrong leader in power
Frustrates all hopes
The poets will not sing any new songs
A dullness may take over
Natural purposes retarded
It even makes you wonder
If God intended grace
To allow to build a dream
Of rainbow or embrace

Greed will tip the balance
Plans and semi-plans
Of ideologues and clans
Will...

We carry in us
the genes of our parents;
we carry in us
the Soul of Our Nation;
the sins – and, more
important – the climbing out
of valleys, to higher peaks of
Spiritual Truths and Values:
Whether one's ancestor born slave or free-man,
whether born in poverty or the-lap-of-luxury – just 
born...

what do you need to be told
to make you capable of pragmatic liberation
which could be the foundation to a new
assessment of the inevitable
darkness is our measure but never our limit
its manic prism reflects everything all at once
while humanity puts its hope in youth
you just have...

You see all of these protesters out
chanting and screeching on the TV,
convinced that we’ll solve all our problems
Ii we just get rid of the police.
They claim that they’re targeting people
merely of the color of their skin,
though by the per capita numbers
whites and Latinos tak it...

In 1894, Annie climbed on a bike
Told the doubters to take a hike
Planned to cycle cross the planet, found sponsors, took a gun
Though she died 50 years after, her legend had begun.

How much is embellished, it's hard to say,
She used steamships to bridge gaps along...

Thanks to the potters of chop city
for kneading us a keyhole peek 
into a new green world dis-order.
Where all colors of the rainbow are represented
except for blue and the color of common sense.
A six block funhouse of 
intolerance-
intimidation
rape-
assault-
extortion
murder.
A murder of dregs 
descending on the naïve
and...

The words struck cold fear in my heart.
What was I to do?  I didn’t know.
This was not supposed to happen,
so back to the doctor did I go,
and the words he told me there
were just another heavy blow:
Male puberty’s window had passed,
It was too late,...

This table is for eagles only
where the tough- dirty-necessary decisions are made.
Every now and again an asp raises its rage
it has to be engaged with one way or another.
You haven't the stomach for it,
that's what the small table is for
for little owls to perch.
Hooting excuses...

She had been indoctrinated to believe her country was free
But she hit the tripwires, had nowhere to flee
She learned the hard way that what she'd been taught
were lies from a regime that couldn't be fought.

His country was designed free, the constitution shows
But there are some...

The meteor was coming near
But little Robbie had no fear
His parents knew earth was DOA
But he tried to argue, to save the day.

He said, “Dear Space Rock, don’t I have rights
My life and liberty are in your sights
I like puppies and cats, and elephants too
You’re...
