Betraying Poems | Examples


Premium Member Betraying Freedom

Today Joe Biden spelled it out crystal-clear
  that he's 'leading' solely from the rear  

Our sanctions, he stressed, were never meant to deter
  Given that, why on earth should Russia ever fear
A country whose president shirks helping democratic Ukraine
  with its two biggest needs: a no-fly zone and up-to-date planes

Mr. Biden just sent Zelinskyy 300 fighter planes built in the '80's
  and he's bragging as if he did something quite weighty...

As a matter of fact, not only is Biden leading from the rear
  He's betrayed the ideals free people everywhere hold dear 
   ~ I pray fervently that an end to JB's presidency be near

coloreds dawning
a little, sunny lit dark
the clouds betrayed lights

I Wonder

I wonder why I'm treated like a child,
When I left childhood many years ago,
I just wonder!

They told me, 
"Youths are the leaders of tomorrow",
When the old ones have refused to handle over power to the young bloods or rest in peace.
Lies as old as time!

I wonder why they call me daily,
When one day they will forget the same name,
Like I wrote that which was widely irrelevant.
I wonder!

I still I wonder why they refuse to celebrate and compliment me now,
But beside my grave, they will cry blood,
Burn candles and burn forests,
Testifying of me to the whole world, 
When I won't be there to hear and see.

I wonder why they are killing, betraying, embezzling, marginalizing and underdeveloping...
Forgetting that someday,
They will all die and decay like an abandoned egg in a refuse dump. 

Even deep in my heart,
I wonder!
