Cold War Poems - Poems about Cold War

A map, a fractured globe, lines drawn in ice, whispers of dread. Two titans, shadows stretching across continents, a silent scream in the static of radio waves, the hum of unseen missiles, a lullaby of fear. Duck and cover, a child's fragile shield, against the sun turned to ash, the mushroom cloud, a blooming nightmare. Berlin's wall, a scar on the soul of...

I'm torn across axis yet to exist, Or had once been, since been replaced, By a sense of self and lack thereof, When we, by they encased. Cleavage adorned in modest terms, Abreast as if more than one, Still less than two, duplicitous you, Less I divide by hegemon. Senses shook, a daily wage, Of war: be both me and we? An ancient oath...

Once the green land of morning calm and high serenity Soon waved the blood red flag, stained with the false words “We will soon be free” Now a grey, barren mountain swallowed by Yaldabaoth’s sea...

Four o’clock in the morning, Another four hours to go, Mouth tastes of stomach acid Eyes like pee holes in the snow. Every Mid shift at this time It’s always the same Time to start playing My stay awake game. Me and old Elvis playing music On our imaginary record show, Country Rock mainly For those in the know. A quick check...

They went to the spar hotel and got it on. One time was enough to revive the old socialist. He was fully revived. This was similar but different than before. They bonked away one session and did other things. This was better than being in the reading room studying revolutionary doctrines. The human body needed...

You spiked my drink, I poisoned thine. You pulled a dagger, I swung a halberd. You threw a grenade And I threw a bomb. This might have been a story between Russia and the United States But is it a story of you and me? Is it the story of Democrat and Republican? Is it the story of Christian vs Atheist? What if: You spiked...

Amongst the guns and bullets the tremors of a soul unfinished, refurbished, by a cold cold war Democrats, Republicans dead remains without a name who cares which side of the fence you stand on its a cold cold war territorial sovereignty tunnels and waterways who owns rights to the land God does insignia of soldiers,...

My thumbs pressed on the trigger. The M-2 bucked its load. I squinted down the barrel And watched his head explode. An early morning ambush, A steaming Luzon hell, For Ferdi and Imelda, Our Cold War clientele. The mission was generic: Suppress the NPA*. It didn't really matter Just who got in the way. I carried out my orders And did what I was told, But Christ, the...

I do not have any pain I did not complain How do we get out? We met by a miracle Let's flee to the West This we can do For the truth will kill us here Our truth will end us You are my life I am your life They built a wall round us Round our city To keep us in But they cannot stop us Will...

Cold, When we are grief is untold When we are helpless and hopeless When we are all wandering with no direction When all hope is lost amidst insurgence. Cold, When the girl child is raped, molested and battered with no justice. When innocent babies are aborted in birth places and thrown in sacred places. When the boy child is put under immoral subjection...

The horsemen have arrived on their menacing mares, Whose stiletto-hoofed horseshoes click-clack on an achromatic static; Silent staccatos inside an ultraviolet light. As vidalian-dampened eyes drip viridian veneers before the mounted steeds, And embrocations of nuclear infernos' fumes simmer their cimmerian shades, A penumbral eclipse gallops atop the sickened sky. Diaries dug from the barren breasts of Chernobyl, Inscribed with...
