Best Stand Up Poems

Child , stand up
Clothes deemed unfashionable
by followers with no individuality
Kinky locks not straight enough

The stiffness in your tongue bearing testament
to your mother tongue, to which they laugh at, why?

You're Mahogany, sanded and buffed
well crafted and glossed to a high...

Mass killings has become a fad
Racism is on the rebound 
We are facing our golieths...

Where are those who proclaim; "Jesus is the only Way?"

I've heard of many who discuss creation vs. evolution.
Where are those who proclaim Jesus is the solution?

Put down the guns, lay down the knives
We are losing too many of our young lives,
The violence that you’re watching on TV
That is what’s happening, it’s our reality.

The death count’s rising, what are we going to do?
The Police need your help if they are to...

While watching comedians on TV
Sure wish one of those guys was me
Making people laugh
It would be such a gas
I'd even perform on stage for free

( this is my way to bring out what i see and what i object to ... the happenings in the state of Goa )
 When strange lands begin to unfold
And pathways commence to get green and fold
All the thoughts we held up in hope

I was born December 5, 1941 on the eve of Pearl Harbor
And I remember the aftermath of the Great Depression,
I remember the horrors and anxieties of World War II,
This generation has little more than a vague impression
Difficult, dangerous, oppressive times we’ve come through
No matter what...

as some African 
young leaders 
are  standing up 
with the problems
of millions of Africans.
they know well  
about
the work they are doing ...
Africa's advocates 
who know 
the consequences 
of the dangerous tasks 
which they are  choosing ...
Just  to help their compatriots. 
they can be wiping out  
silently

Senses defeated; defile of insensible

are stepping boldly, with motives ostensible, 

to take pledge upon our platform honorable.

List of agenda is: Power extensible!

Frustrations of the mass is just regrettable

with a history of deeds abominable.

Who to address in moments insufferable?

Despotism in democracy: deplorable!

We oppose their resolutions reprovable.

You let them persist and say nothing at all.
Your futures dissolve and fortunes free fall.
Critics add nothing but choice caterwaul.
Stand up and resist or do nothing at all.

You let them persist and say nothing at all.
Cowards shout wildly in visions so small.
Few stalwart sailors and...

If they called you black woman
If they keep reminding you of your skin colour
I know they said  you are not beautiful enough
I know they pointed fingers at you about that 

Tell them you are aware of that 
Tell them unique is never the same
Get...

STAND UP

Stand up!
Don't give up.
Don't wave the white flag.
Don't give in.
What a shame!  What a sin!

Those in power are afraid of you.
You're afraid too.  
Don't let courage melt in the face of fear,
  or no one will hear.

It's a cruel fate
