Best Rulers Poems


Premium Member We Rulers of the Earth

Homo-Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth.
   Intelligent and civilized, but what is all this worth?

We're working hard to conquer space...we landed on the Moon.
   We'd better solve our problems here, or soon we will face doom.

New industries and factories, constructed every day,
   And poisoning the air we breathe...is this the price to pay?

Energy sources are shrinking...what happens when there's none?
   Will we, as Earthlings, ever learn to work with Nature as one?

Some in this world still starve each day, while others hoard their gold.
   Intelligent and civilized; at least, that's what we're told.

We cure disease with drugs that may cause sickness, the result!
   How many dearly paid for this ‘experimental cult’?

We have become a plastic world where everything is fake,
   From what we eat to how we look...when will we all awake?

We're civilized, we tell ourselves, but fight our fellow man.
   If only we could solve world stresses through a better plan.

With government corruption, morality trending low…
   The price of progress we may say...is this the way to grow?

We have upset Earth’s balanced ways, destroying Nature’s scheme...
   We’re intelligent and civilized...is it all a dream?

Will we ever walk on Nature's path, take her by the hand,
   Restore the beauty meant to be on Earth, our dying land?

Homo-Sapiens we call ourselves, rulers of this Earth...
   Intelligent and civilized...but what is all this worth?

Premium Member Big Impression


It isn’t the big celebrations,
Enormous dinners or huge gifts.
Parties never rouse foundations,
Jamborees or festivals.
It isn’t the life-sized creations,
Who impress kings, rulers or monarchs.

It’s the little things, a gentle expression,
When hearts meet in the deserts,
When dreamers discover their profession,
When simple reaches into the heart,
Pulls out a feeling, an impression,
The beautiful that inspires the light.

It isn’t in the impressive,
When a life gets made –
It’s in the thoughts, so obsessive…
Which bring feelings we want to save!

Rulers and Looters

I was told in the beginning
    That a wish may not well be  unicorn
    With two winged thrust-thronged
    To soar upon the cumulus,
  And for those who are wishing
  Wishes to fall on their laps
  Were wholly rendered redundant,
  Those who want to attain,
  Tainted and tarnished past attainment
  Forgetting forward fortune
  And glory in goods temporary.
  Now those who dole out mischief;
  Sowing the seed of acrimony
  Rotten in corruptible credo
  Reshuffling reservoir of redundancy
  To establish the roots of inertia,
  Of Demo-CRAZY
  Of masq-UERADES
  Of lob-BEASTS
  Of cons-titu-PATION
  Of elders
  Of fools
  Of economy
  Of pain
  Of nemesis
  Of crying jags
  And hopelessness, deep furrows on wanton minds
  Remembering the deceit of denigration
  That brought doomed to deserving daddies
  That it is always a surprise,
  Unwilling stallion in the midst
  Of same blind, semblance sahibs,
  A remembrance of the past remembrance
  Raising the boys to take the Salutary gauntlet
  of the favour done
  To pave the way
  For stock taking and a quiet get out,
  Of the unending, pass measure euphoria,
  Then it fell on the laps
  Of a fiery warrior; then
  The dance of the macabre
  And a sycophantic applause,
  Mutatis mutandis, endless queues
  Of rebounding stomachs 
  Roaming, rounder the ruins
  Recounting remnant reservoir
  Denouncing, declaring deceiving
  All one enmeshed in the same pot
  For the final stir of the arbiter.

The Tragic Games Between Rulers and People

Look for this tragic dilemma: 
either people have reached the real powers
and  handled  the weal of engine 
or government  done  the same
wiped people completely  out
from ruling, managing  and controling. 
Either nation harnessed rulers
through election, freedoms 
and other democratic institutions and values, 
either rulers slipped away again and again
from common monitoring, 
hooked  heavily  country by its gills.

At first scenario your fate going gradually
for recovering  and  prosperity
maybe slowly, after some disasters and calamities, 
discherishes and dishonesties
under the guide by community, 
but never lost hopes
the people who harnessed powers.

In the second case 
when government bodies
took powers on theirs hand 
the unhappy country and people
drifted slowly and implacable
for the stagnation and dying
through killing freedoms and justice 
in police, mass-media, election, 
eventually fatally 
all structure descended  to  repressions.
unjustice, wars, starvation, deficient
and multiple lacks and problems 
so familiar for Soviet empire
in its 7O year biography: 
theirs birth, increasing,
pride, glory
and total worthlessness  
and bankruptcy.

Our world has kept many other tragic examples
of enfoldment the worthiest scenarios
Look for the North Korean regime
or what  happened with Cuba 
under  the life-long  ruling of brave Fidel Castro,
honestly say two thirdth  of all nation and countries
can not to learn this art  
for their government firmly harnessing.
They appointment person, presidents and prime-ministers
slip away from  common control
leading with their  atavistic  desires  are  sordid  and sinister.    

God bless USA and West as whole
to be a good teachers for this world
that is the best advice that I told 
for the mine and next generations
who don’t want sacrifice their precious lives 
for the bad and cruel guiding at all.

Premium Member The Sixty-Four Rulers of the Yi Jing

The Sixty-Four Rulers of the Yi Jing

When chieftains uncrowned yearn to be enthroned
They either give their daughters to princes
Or invite other chieftains and have them poisoned
Some choose the war-path without hindrances

And lose their lives wives their land masses
In days of yore we call smirk as dark ages
Today’s chieftains also own land masses
Stars with stripes pedigree business managers 

Lawmen who make millions helped by judges
Generals in command of battalions
Through coup d’Etat fulfil ill-nursed grudges
All scions sired by pur sang stallions

Who won elections with money from banks
Or the pennies dropped by party members
All paths leaders take to the top while thanks
They give not to those who toiled to hoist masters

What may the difference be with then and now
One man still decides the fate of one’s country
No man can encompass all the know-how
Any man can lose cool and berserk thrash free

When the going gets tough under pressure
When vested interests pull tout azimuth
Is divine right a blessing rained down treasure
Or the servile mind’s habit of staying put

If sixty-four wise men ran a country
According to the dictates of the Yi Jing
The world will neither know war nor treaty
The future will be assured for every being

Hats Off To the Rulers

prostitute to the rulers,
bend over, smile, pretend, 
pop the anti-deppressant 
it makes all the truths hazy
easier to cope,

work hard, 
hate the poor,
they are so immoral,
they deserve to suffer,
Love the rich, they are so noble

The communists are evil
they want equality! screw that!
The socialists are the same,
Stealing from the rich to help the poor
stupid poor people deserve to suffer,
them and their kids, screw them,
ignore them, let them shoot each other, 
live in their slums, welfare abuse,
Disgusting,

Kill the terrorists!
one thousand civilians dead
for every terrorist!
So what? They are Muslims!
Going to hell, anyway.
No hand tied behind our back.

Ou friend the jews, we love them
stealing land from the muslims,
spreading hatred, 
who cares?
They defend our oil companies!
An important job.
Stupid muslims want to socialize their oil.
Hell no, we stole it fair and square. 

And they call me the propagandist.

Message To My Child

Son , keep my wise words for your  bright  future: As a future leader, privilege discipline in everything you will do. 
A ruler has  much power when his people are with him. Learn to understand the voices of the people you rule. A wise leader knows that power does not mean to control and ill - treat people,  It is the happiness for working for people... " helping them."Love knowledge to rule well, Respect is reciprocal in life , Love the person who corrects you because he loves you the most.  Respect is reciprocal in life , Be humble, tolerant of others  ,  and  a role model in the Society. Learn to forgive forgive and forget , Don't allow tribalism " tribal  conflict" to rise  among the people you lead. Remember that , war is the biggest enemy of the development. Promote peace and love where ever you will be. I love you so much son.

Premium Member Time 1984

Time is a funny thing,
time does not always seem real.
Governments and their rulers,
come and go.
Some are good to their people and country,
while others only destroy.
Can they be brought to their knees,
maybe ~ sometimes?
When we are living in today,
we have real time.
Can we now see or understand,
the many years that will come?
Then one day we awaken,
to that far off date.
Now here in the new real time of 2025,
we say where did all the time go?
In their day many read the book 1984,
some laughed at it as it was the talk of the town. 
Some saying, 
this would never happen.
Now in real time of 2025,
many years later what do we find?
Today many are saying, 
we are now living in this book of 1984.
The question is,
are we?
Some say yes,
others still feel it was just a crazy book.
Have you read it, 
only the reader can decide.

Rulers In This World

Of chorus lines puppet strings voodoo dolls as clown parades....
White cheeks dimpled smiles black ties affairs with, chichi crowns ?
Gladiators vying for world supremacy whileas muppets generals their
Daughters sip upon brandy to alleviate numb the truth in father's legacy.

To My Rulers

To My Rulers


My dear Rulers of our public 
Help us to come up in our lives 
Please put off yourself growth for a decade
To build my nation strong and mighty
It is enough to your family and to your successors
My Poor brothers have to live at least in a hut
Stop your decorations to your palaces
That will do develop our nation as mighty
We cast our votes on a good faith
You will pave at least a muddy path
Stop Your nasty draining of rivers and soil
Leave the lakes and ponds 
To my people drink and to cultivate food
Leave our faith on democracy
Not to exploit and make it money
Not to make us lazy dogs and 
 leave us to work and live 
Vanish the word Free and subsidies 
From our lives and day today dictionaries
To live as royal citizens of this nation

The Rulers

The rulers

The poor rule the world, live in badly built flats
buy plastic rubbish for the children as toys.
They can`t cook and their diet is fat and disgusting,
but without them, the rich would not be wealthy,
fewer cars on the roads full of potholes as there
would no one to keep the road drivable. 
And their big offices would stink as no one cleaned 
them, which really doesn`t matter as lifts would 
be out of order, and no janitors to change light bulbs.
So you see, the poor are privileged they are
the rulers of our modern society the opulent 
can`t do without them.

Premium Member Annointed One

Oh, Annointed Ome, crowned this day, 
Whose beauty lights up the sky; 
Take over please as ruler now 
Before we elders die.  

We leave you all this Planet and 
Dark Universe beyond; 
Your word will travel far and wide, 
Like ripples on a pond.  

Our generation tires now, 
The baton we pass on; 
Please take it and run swiftly, for 
The human-race ... goes on.

Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon too
   Through military conquest empires grew

Pulitzer's Fourth Estate ruled the modern world

Pipes For Fortune's Fingers

To say no creature eats carcass
Is but mockery to you vultures and hyenas
I spit before your throne
You whose whips I have always known

Who drowned the fish in my rivers
And made barren the soil of my mothers
You who made my children slaves
And did leave me near my grave

You have broken my hardest coconut
And have cracked my snail's shell have you not?
For you watch the future to perish
Filling pockets with gold more cherished

You chew me and with my bones pick teeth
The truth has been what you make of it
Is it not you who married my treasures
And offered no price for your manly pleasures

Longer ago than I care to remember
You killed good men and claimed their daughters
You who danced the dance of shame
And brought forth bastards to bear my name

Power foretells what man believes
Worthless are morals the noble give
You live above your earnings
Never bearers of good tidings

Ye are men whose greed still lingers
Ye are the men who slew I Nigeria
Ye are mere pipes on fortune's fingers
