Best Patriot Poems


Premium Member Be Loyal

Be loyal whether things are going your way or not.
Unite with your fellow dwellers
Speak your mind 
After you listen to their views
Take them seriously
You are in this together

Be loyal to your country, your family, and your friends
Do not allow anyone to put them down.
Stand up for what is right.
Show that you are listening,
And when you disapprove 
Explain why in a kind and loving way.

Be loyal to your soldiers. Defend them and their assignments.
They are not given choices. They are given orders.
They follow them in good faith.
To keep the country healthy.
To allow you to enjoy your life
While they are possibly sacrificing theirs
In your honor.

Be loyal to your country’s mandates, and beliefs.
If there is something that needs to be changed,
Advocate.
But in a heartfelt, cooperative, 
Wise and caring way.
Do not speak badly of your government or her policies.
Be loyal always.

Premium Member The Unbroken

'Sell out your country' is what they said, 
As water kept dripping on his head.
Two days had passed since he went to bed.
'Sell out your country' is what they said.
Three days passed since he had been fed.
Denial of his Rights had not been read.
'Sell out your country' is what they said, 
As water kept dripping on his head.

Premium Member Patriot Guard Funeral Escort

Patriot Guard funeral Escort
Loch David Crane
August, 2008

Today is sunny: with three dozen bikes,
some decorated cars,  a pair of trikes,
two dozen Marines: all of the family
and toddlers to set their Daddy free
into the Great Beyond beyond the sky
where loved ones send their veterans who die.
Below our feet the stones give way to grass
where they are neatly trimmed; and as we pass
the names of strangers stare into the air
and we look back, wondering who lies there.
I won't step on a grave--I'll walk around
so not to insult those within the ground.
	We ride at funerals honoring those vets,
	brave men and women we have never met.


Premium Member Identity Crisis

He says he saw "(this nation's)
Identity sold and robbed by immigration..."
And I remember
My first day teaching at the border school
First one there that August morning
Cows were grazing on the lawn
I walked into the office to report them
and the secretary laughed, "They're Hector's.
They sneak over the border sometimes.
He's on his way to get them."
The crossing was two blocks away
There was a hole in the fence 
Where all the kids from Mexico
Who attended school in America, crossed
Customs and border patrol agents knew them
AND watched them come and go 
Safely
It really was an open border then
And no one felt their identity was threatened
America was built on the backs of immigrants
And those who came in chains
They worked for pennies and nothing at all
While white culture treated them as inferiors
Are we losing our identity as white supremacists
Because people of nonwhite culture refuse to be our inferiors
GOOD
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Declaration of Independence (if you read)
People coming to America to live free and pursue their happiness
Robs our identity
Really?
People coming to America to live free and pursue their dreams
IS our identity
not January 6 insurrectionists
not election deniers
not voting rights suppressors
NOT white supremacists
who are destructive to others' lives, liberty, and their happiness
My duty as a TRUE American Patriot is to call you out
You threaten the very principles upon which this nation stands
And like it or not, we will confront you, and block your way
This great country is made of great people, 
not narrow minded _____
(Whatever fits)
I'm out

The Anonymous Patriot

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations can attest
That none raised a claim against him, even in jest,
And reports on his environmental conduct all agree
That he never injured a sprouting tree,
And that all he did was to the favor of Mother Nature.

Apart from a short peace-keeping mission overseas,
He worked for a charitable foundation that preaches peace,
He never skipped a day of work and never got fired.
Tax evasion was to him an unpatriotic sin,
And he paid all his levies with a mirthful grin.

All his Sacco reports faithfully indicate
That he remitted his contributions and didn’t wait
To be reminded by the office like the rest.
The media sorority remains convinced in every way
That he bought the three mainstream papers every day.

Policies registered in his name doubtless show
That he was fully insured from head to toe.
The departments of health well understand
That he was cognizant of the benefits of the National Health Insurance Fund.

He had the things necessary to a man of his day:
A radio, a piano, a car, and a house fit for his modest stay.
Researchers into Public Opinion are satisfied
That he had the right opinions for the day and year;
If things were alright, he agreed:  if things were foul, he defied.

He married a pious girl and added five souls to the population,
Which experts say was the perfect number for a father of his generation.
His teachers are grateful he was never a nuisance to their work.
Whether he was happy or free is a question rather absurd,
But had anything been wrong we should have no doubt heard!


The Last Patriot

THE LAST PATRIOT
"Let all the ends thou aimest at, by thy country, Thy God, and Truths.  Shakespeare

The bugler played Taps,
Shoes glistened in the sun.
Uniforms worn with pride,
To honor the last one.

Washington, Jefferson, Adams and more,
A new republic for all.
Their lives, family and fortune,
Risked so we would not fall.

A call to arms dear patriot,
A nation to defend.
Many would die for freedom,
They fought to the end.

We were torn asunder,
Our roots pulled apart.
The North and South in battle,
Tore at our country's heart.

The leaders from one land,
Called to calm the world.
We sent our finest,
Victory certain when our flag unfurled.

The greatest inventions known to man,
Came from the USA.
We shared with our friends,
To bring a better day.

An election changed things,
A leader for himself.
Destroyed al we love,
Denied a chance for wealth.

Foreigners tell us what to do,
Control our daily life.
We buried the last patriot,
We now live in fear and strife.

RAYMOND V. MORGAN

Premium Member The Patriot

The U.S. has a heritage
Born of might and blood.
I will not disinherit it
For wrongs some fools have done.

I will stand with hand on heart,
For those who fought for me.
I rise devoted as a part
Of a nation proud and free.

Our privilege was paid in full,
So high a cost was tendered.
Some knew crimson-dampened wool;
Others, shrapnel-shredded members.

There is no greater love or act
Than to die for the gain of others.
To leave a home, to defend a pact
Or give all for country and brothers.

So I stand with a broken salute.
I do not sit or kneel.
I weep and tremble, the pain acute
For so many died for me.

Premium Member For Life's Sake

I appreciate
The patriotic voices
It does my heart good

I truly believe
In what makes this country great
But I would say this:

The Constitution
And Bill of Rights created
To ensure freedom

Against tyranny
And to stop invaders from
Attacking our homes

We have the right to
Should pack a gun...

Having the right to
Be free goes hand in hand with
The right to feel safe

If we continue
To argue over our right
To security

We are betraying
The very thing we fought for
In all the wars past

We are no longer
Truly free because we now
Are captives of fear

We are so afraid
Of being insensitive
Offending someone...

We've allowed thousands
Of "sleepers" to live with us
Freely, unchallenged

Waiting for the time
The signal to attack us
Again and again

While we were sleeping
Enemies crawled in our beds
They destroy our dreams...

Would you invite your
Enemy to your house to
Sit at your table?

Right to privacy?
We gave that up long ago
It's an illusion

Each time we logon
To the web to conduct our
"Personal" business...

Each time we apply
To obtain that credit card
To purchase more "things"...

Willingly we will
Give up the rights to privacy
For financial gain

Making money is the
"Great American Way"
Nothing wrong with that

But when it comes to
National security
We whine, hem and haw...

We won't compromise
When it's not profitable
Even for life's sake...

Patriot Parade Part 2

Mexico again and more Injun and back to Mexico,
Tick off Lakota, Dakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho,
The Great Sioux War and lots more fuss before we invade Brazil,
Let’s hop around some islands first (punch out the Yaqui as well)

We’re beating drums to call your sons to help us as we raid,
It’s carnival of glory for the patriot’s parade.

That empire of the Spanish state is really ripe for gleanings,
We’ll pick up Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba and the Phillipenes.
Let’s not overlook those Boxers and their crazy Kung Fu too!
It simply would look bad if monks kick us out using mushu.

Author: I’m not beating this damned drum anymore… 
Muse: But we haven’t even gotten to the world wars!
Author: I’m starting to think the mad hatter’s leading this damned Patriot Parade
Muse: It’s only 1901!  We still have the whole 20th century left to go!
Author: Screw you muse, I’m out.  Peace.

Premium Member patriot cat

once a small tabby named peaches

liked to recite lincoln speeches

at the senate she'd roost

till president deduced

that cats trying to impeach us.

Patriot Parade Part 1

It was said by pilgrim sons next to the Boston Harbor,
That to take tax without redress was action of dishonor.
And so a team of farmers went and built themselves an army,
To drive the redcoats off their land and end George’s tyranny.

We’re beating drums and ask your sons to come now to our aid
We’re marching out as men along the patriot’s parade.

Them red-devil Injuns ain’t no good and they cavort in sin!
So forget your Ma’s and Pa’s my boys the calvr’y needs a win.
We’ll drive them savages off them fields and make that land our own,
Them whisky barons should pay too for drunks and broked men’s homes

We’re beating drums so tell your sons to come now to our aid
We’re marching out as soldiers along the patriot’s parade.

The government of 1812 wanted lands Canadian
they also set about with plans to take captured Lousianne.
Those Brits they really gave us cause with press-gang’d merchant sailors.
Rise up you merry lads and arm let’s feed those Brits to gators!

We’re beating drums to protect your sons so come now to our aid
We’re marching yet again along the patriot’s parade.

Keep sending sons to mount and ride against the red-man nations,
In Texas good men hold back Santa Anna’s salutations.
The yellow cinaman’s opium turns strong men into slaves,
We need to climb Mt. Fiji and teach Japan we rule the waves.

We’re beating on the drums again, not empire, just foreign aid;
We’re sailors, soldiers and marines on a patriot’s parade.

Them fed’ral scum think they can ru’n our way of life. ‘tain’t southern.
They’re try’na undercut our vote by free’n the ‘raff for breedin’.
Those southern states how dare they break from this nation we’re building?
We can’t let constitution bar the way that we are growing!

We’re sailors, soldiers and your sons on a patriot’s parade
We’re the real army and your true sons on patriot’s parade

You may think we’ve fought enough and we all wish that it were so,
But truth be told we need to scold Koreans on Ganghwado.
And even if that weren’t so bad rustlers have crossed the border,
We need more men that we can send to restore Texan order.

We’re beating on new drums, you’ll see, all dressed in golden braid,
The army, navy and marines on patriot parade!

Patriot

By George P. Lumayag

A patriot digs and builds a castle underground like an ant. 
A patriot reserves much food underground like an ant. 
A patriot reads the minds of miners to protect the queen's castles.
A patriot poetically motivates the people to build a web of castles 
to protect themselves from the fires of the dragons. 
If the patriots do things right like ants, 
they will be safe in the future.

Premium Member A True Patriot

The true patriot doesn't always go with the flow, he follows his heart. Even wounded, he still does his part. Speak so loud and clear, even if it attracts ridicule and scorn,  from far and near. His actions rather than just his words, try to limit the length of the terms, of the callous and arrogant,Who listen to no one,  but their idols of power and greed. Shouldn't they take notice of the signs of their fathers, really take heed. If the patriot shows how to forgive and forget, can their hardened hearts ever br breached? Not by rifle fire, but by the love of their Sons, I pray some day they can be reached.

Premium Member As The Year Ends

The year is ending by leaving us sad;
For all those who left us in our journey;
So let’s pray for their souls we can be glad;
Having left us, are under God’s mercy.

Those who are in this world may they live long;
prayers ever irrational answered;
Smiles, happiness, prosperity among
Other boons granted are, forever, yearned.

Let us prepare to welcome the new year;
With sincere thoughts first and actions honest;
Be eager to spread good news, do not hear
Or fuel rumours at others’ behest.

These are the signs of a patriot true;
Avoid anger if you cannot construe.
