Common Man Poems - Poems about Common Man

At the breakdown of ages man disappears and reappears In the form of an easy-to-use scheme Over the last half-century, man has been replaced By technocratic ideas of what a man is But the real man can no longer fit into these forms, which have shrunk like old clothes. At the breakdown of ages, man is left to himself. Politicians and their...

WAR OF THE COMMON MAN I live in the Land of America where no politician stays honest. Everything they promise us becomes a lie to keep our salaries uncertain and modest. The government taxes more than we can afford. Politicians claim there's no choice. They're taking away all our freedoms. The poor have no money or voice. There'll be a Day of Rebellion. Blood will...

Every Day, My Father got up early And sat there, in the dark, like a mushroom, And thought, and thought, and thought… And... grieved... He would not be the hero that he'd hoped, An ordinary fellow with flat feet... What DID he think? enveloped in the pre-dawn hush?

REVISED When I was young I ignored age and never thought of passing time or viewed the products of its rage upon this changing face of mine. At that age blessed through life to go, to walk high peaks close to the sun, and think the clock was moving slow above where the dark valleys run. Slower the step with shortened stride descending to the...

The life of a common man Left to his own ways He shares his life through words From the edges of a page Inside his story produces A long-winded tale expressed But fine is its story intertwined With life’s long road impressed This man has no longer a page That is empty of life’s journey Every detail is written down And it surely feels like plenty-- Of...

Begin Thus spoke the Premier in a solemn voice Announced the implementation of a new plan There are too many scams, I had no choice It is to benefit the common man At the stroke of midnight when the corrupt sleep Their misdeeds in the past sixty-year span Will be exposed when the new changes creep It is to benefit the common man The...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLMVB0B1_Ts Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" Drums play ears listen Visions display eyes glisten. The quiet burns as freedom yearns. Trumpeters announce man's every ounce. Distant thunder sounds love should abound. Embrace the words, the message of life's echo, its solitary vestige. Here we live and proudly stand the everyday un-common man Struggling to...

He wrote poems for the common man, That everyone could understand. Gave us life in rhyming works of art. Brought smiles that could lead to tears. Made us face our hidden fears. Touched our souls then led us to our heart. He painted skies with blues and grays. With images that danced in haze, To songs that whispered through the winds of...
