Best Viva Poems

My France, My France
How I weep for you
these tears are not of joy,
for you have let the enemy in,
they brought disaster to your shores.

My France, My France
How I weep for you
The pain you must endure.
For all those dead have,
come to you under burdening
skies.

My France, My...

VIVA LA ELVIS

In Tupelo Mississippi, twin baby boys were born,
To Gladys and Vernon Presley, but sadly one passed on.
They named him Jesse Garon, their hearts so full of pain,
And then came Elvis Aaron, a breath of sweet refrain.

One heart beating for the two, their spirits...

My mouth is now sore
Sour grapes - galore

Wide World of Sports televises a political assassination
from San Marcos, a tiny Latin American nation.
When the president dies, a dictator comes into position.
He takes complete control, and wants to subdue opposition.

The revolutionary creates revolutions:

In the silence of the dark night.
And the fresh dawn light.
With the hope to make life right.
By the means of a violent fight....

his heraldic crest 
a donger and yarbles rampant 
upon a field of clover
it was a stone slab of course
donated by a few eggheads in exile
his best friends were his orgasms
shall we redefine the human condition

with many rivers...

VIVA –  FATHER OF A RAINBOW NATION

Nelson Mandela, what a man,
What an icon, what a wise politician,
Even though he was in prison for
A 27 year span,
Held no grudges, or hate, just wanted
No segregation, he went on a mission,
To make sure that as a father...

The red kings,
And the black kings,
And the kings of garnet and jasper,
Lie silently behind plexiglass
While the population
Is petrified.
Yet the red kings,
And the black kings,
And the kings of garnet-jasper,
Are only strange marionette kings
That the population themselves
Have created....

Models on a runway
Look like skeletons in clothes.
Skinniness is what’s expected
At the fashion shows.

So mannequins reflect that trend
And thus are thinly shaped,
Conforming to how we expect
To see their outfits draped.

But not in Venezuela
Where the mannequins have grown,
Presenting bigger boobs and butts
Than those before had known.

The...

Freedom and Liberty.
Bought with blood.

We've fought side by side.
Guided from above.

Mexico stood brave.
United States couragous.

Won their wars
And stood victorious!

So let's remember as we celebrate freedom
From our common foes.

That if we always stand together.
We shall surely never fall...........

I can’t imagine where I’d be
If Jesus had not come to me.

I knew Him once, so long ago
But life pressed in and so, you know,
I quite forgot His loving ways
And trundled on in those dark days

I can’t imagine where I’d be
If Jesus had not come...
