Best Votes Poems

Voting Tuesday came around.
The news would tell it all.
The candidates still shaking hands.
Outside the voting poll.

The signs were still on countless lawns.
Results were coming in.
The candidates were waiting.
To find out who would win.

But when the polls reported.
All were shocked to hear.
Only five percent had cast...

Why? What evil have they done?
Who would harm daughter or son?

As a nation we blindly and carelessly vote
for those who throw them from life’s boat.

But Christ, didn’t you say “Let the little children come to Me.”?
What is it even your supposed followers can’t see?

Your babies...

Ghana vote tomorrow 
Peace we need not sorrow

Comedy everywhere not horror
Our choice be reflected like a mirror

Who so ever wins we follow as our hero
Turn not our birthplace into queues and terror 

For that is the only country we have to cope
Her abundance in peace...

EXCUSE US WHILE WE DON’T BE PARENTS FOR A WHILE

I’m just not certain this is right for you two
Are you sure you can do what you need to do?
There’s a great deal of extraneous work involved
And suppose there’s a problem that cannot be solved

What if...

Do not waste your vote, all say
But, who shows the right way?
All politicians are fully corrupt
The Nation may face bankrupt

If you elect kindly Mr. X
He will be weak in sex
On the other hand Mr. Y
Will make Justice die

If you make your vote invalid
Again you prove...

Pandering For Votes
Tom’s Opinion
July 17, 2021

Our country is filled with protesters, and activist’.
Many, filled with hate, are motivated by feelings of entitlement.
Their hunger is never quenched,
and a helping hand has become a way of life.
They quench their thirst from a pool
 fed by the success...

Debaters may boast who talks the most, but the most votes, ladies and gents,
are won with the most common sense, and a dollop of dollars and cents.

Submitted Friday the 13th of May 2022, for the “Killing with an Epigram Poetry Contest” sponsored by Margarita Lillico...

A brand new candidate got elected
The present incumbent got ejected
Lambasted and rejected
‘Tis another novel dawn in America
‘Tis another extraordinary day at the plaza
Of love, unity, justice, far from any drama.

The streets are full of happy citizens
The children are playing safely in the streets
Bring the flags;...

Today's rain is more of a doom,
But why not just spare my own room?
You just poured in without a shame
So, who will then take this your blame?

Tho', where I live is a jungle,
My life needs not be this bungled,
Because this flood was just a lot,
This...

The political party is a pot
Brewing beer not of barley
Preserved for the toppers not the lot
It is a beer to convince by deception to pry
Upon the minds of the lot

The powers of the political party steer
Mainly gained through the intoxication
After partying with the beer
Maliciously present...

All the ghouls come out for Halloween
to ask you for your vote.
With their sticks and signs
sure to hammer their line
in the chance to be your goat.

Where their passion's lost
for the greater sign
that will dazzle your eyes in bloat.
And their colors blind to the popular mind
that...

Trump Poems and Epigrams VI


Trump’s Retribution Resolution
by Michael R. Burch

My New Year’s resolution?
I require your money and votes,
for you are my retribution.

May I offer you dark-skinned scapegoats
and bigger and deeper moats
as part of my sweet resolution?

Please consider a YUGE contribution,
a mountain of lovely C-notes,
for you...

I’ve felt the stir of resolution
to throw off careless greed.

I’ve heard the soothing voice of reason,
long thought to be extinct.

So pound your plowshares into words,
turn your anger into votes.

Let’s march together towards sanity,
reclaiming fragile future’s hope....
