Best Polls Poems

Frightened By the Polls

As frightened as a wolverine in a man-made metal trap,
The politician crawled out from under his rock.
Afraid, after his voting record was revealed,
He avoided facing his constituency and their votes.
Never had he seen such scathing, waving, hating arms.
A people’s representative turned belly-up.

Well, so they tell us-
the political gladiators and
heavy weights. That in permanent
servitude we must remain.

They create a void in our stomachs,
which they momentarily fill with
what they carted away from us.
Just for their self will and whims
for another leap year's tenure to
be entrenched.

They widen the capacity...

I didn’t really want
to get political
my poems are supposed to be
sweet and fun

But several other poets
have posted verses
about my sweetie pie
Donald Trump

So let me explain
in poetic style
why I still plan to vote
for him this fall

Yes, he is crude
Yes, he is orange
Yes, he is totally
out there...

I didn’t see Alhaji Sule, the big contractor
Though he is a sponsor with a huge stake in government.
I didn’t see Chief Ade the financial banker
Though he is well-versed on political palavers.
I didn’t see Mazi Eze the business mogul
He’s engrossed in his profits of sales and...

If everyone had an opinion
how would the world be different?

If everyone gave their opinion
how would we treat them all?

If everyone asked for an opinion
how would thier lives change?

If everyone saw the difference between an pinion and a fact
how would one say, it's only an opinion...

In times of politics, where power unfolds,
A bump in the polls through executions told,
A dance of ambition, a ruthless endeavor,
Where souls are discarded, like leaves in the winter.

With ink-stained hands, they plot and they scheme,
Silencing dissenters, crushing each dream,
Lives laid bare, sacrificed on the stage,
For...

God is still on control
No matter the Victor at the polls

Put your heart in God’s hands
And your feet on solid land

Sinking sand is an early grave
Do not worry continue to pray

He will never lead you astray
This is a test of your fuchsia faith

Did you think...

election day blues
annoying voting machine
candidates unknown

unfamiliar names
did not do due diligence
angry at myself

voted for some names
did not know their competence
feel bad about this

resolve to learn more
candidate information
be better informed

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah, 
"poll'-itics and the media.

Waterboarding
The NFL
Will help Trump sleep
Extremely well

The NRA
Will make amends
When Dick Cheney
Can shoot more friends

The GOP
Has set some goals
For Kim Jong-Un
To fix the Polls

The USA
May be a mess
But that would be
Trump's second guess....

Knocking on doors, people to meet,
house after house, street after street,
keeping going, day after day,
whatever polls or trolls might say,
there's not much time for resting feet.

Car park selfies, the meet and greet,
sharing stickers and printed sheets,
no time to waste, there’s no delay,
knocking on doors.

Sunshine, showers,...

When shall we learn to recognize the truth
That we are being preyed upon by beasts
Whose sugared words are not enough as sooth
For our wounds that rather increase like yeasts?
How many roads or bridges need to fall,
Or lives to lose fighting in others’ wars?
How many children...
