Council Poems | Examples

Council Culture

An initiative unforeseen
Supported by the Countess Aberdeen
Motivated several politicians and were
Encouraged to convene

In the year of 1920
When issues were aplenty
Delegates backed the Cork City charter
And elected MacSwiney, our dear martyr
Yet as many were to grieve
Others would also leave

They were faced with a new mandate
Upon founding the Irish Free State
However not everyone was happy
And things got rather scrappy
With views diverging ever-more
Making it hard to keep the score

The dust took a while to settle
And tested our civic institutions’ mettle
Though issues were left unsolved
Causing city councils to be dissolved

New problems were to be addressed
That would get the people rousing
Occupied with public works and housing
Making the managers obsessed.

That’s an oversimplification
For a topic deserving of dilation
An overview of a creation
Being the Municipal Association

Council of the Wicked

As the man walks alone he sees the joy from the counsel that has become the Pharisees.
They have given the oath of rituals that pertain to the past and not for the future.
Looking at the actions and expectations, he sees them like the corrupted Phrarisees.
What they have done is go against the Edenic beauty of nature!

Entitlement at young ages is the poison of love!
At young ages they have for fame and dishonor sacrificed their purity!
The red blood has left the once peaceful and love -filled dove!
It is now a blood-stained corpse that has lost it’s purity!

Shifting their gears to the left on an empty tank!
Has allowed them to become morally bankrupt!
They want a bridge and residence to make their bank!
Their family and views have lead all their morals to become corrupt!

In the beginning if you cannot build with me to become my partner!
Then do not have the expectation for me to make you my life partner!

Council of great minds

she whispers to the bluebird
early every afternoon
whispers in its ear and
it listens as if it understands

she dreams of peace
and they talk for hours
probably devising machinations
to make this world a better place

Casey City crackpots

In the garden state, all used to be fair.' Yet four decades on
And disaster is in the air.' After lies about cin-vid and waste
Of funds.' Seems its victimisation for about everone.' At
'Their council meeting' the one they pay for.' Intimidation 
Is engineered and other bad plans. To remove private assets from private land.' Really just piracy.' Thats how it
Appears to stand.' I say they are right the 'people i love' do
Not back down, its illegal enough.' You have a contract to
Be goverened fair.' I smell the dead rats.' And I do really care.' I am with you in spirit.' Just stand take the strain.'
Sing I am Australian.' And give them back some pain.'

White Elephants

I’m sure ratepayers everywhere
Are aware of the many dangers
Of the cronyism to be found
At their local Council chambers

They build useless monuments
That will never make a buck
For vanity projects of all kinds
To feed egos run amok

All paid for by the taxpayer
Whilst roads and water are forgot
Common sense does not apply
To spend the rates financial pot

Management consultants say
‘Busloads of tourists will come to see’
But they’ve just made the numbers up
And charged outrageous fees

Ratepayers object but are ignored
We are unsophisticated swine
The council knows much better
How to spend your rates and mine

Behind the scenes you can be sure
Handshake deals are being made 
Strings are being pulled
And backhanders being paid

Touted as the next big thing
But a hopeless waste of dough 
When it fails the ratepayers cry
…………… ‘I bloody told you so!’

Wise ones nurture my rapture 
kindred souls share my light halo
The “Presence” guides lessons learned

Exoplanet Council Pow-Wow

The exoplanet council's having a pow-wow
  Where are those amateur astronomers now

We've lost track of their telescopes
  Have all those earthlings given up hope

Optimistic that our lifeforms will soon be discovered
  Guess we'll have to wait 'til folks down there recover

Council Girl

a lost girl arranges in her room
               her dress with stillness,
               she pushes her tongue
               against small kitten teeth,

outside the lift groans and bangs,
               lights burn shapes
               of flats and stairs;

this is a place to circle in;
               to return to,
               never to leave

she is sediment, a line of ash,
              a failed escapee

The Council of My Motherland

Strike the masses, with hopes in prose
To earn their trust, and thumbs in folds

Kneel to the masses, to be put to council
Chosen by the masses, to be their council

Steal the masses’ offering, when put in council
To flee their own, only from hassle

To thee the council of the motherland
Why do you cause pain bitter than labour
Poverty strikes masses like thunder
Indigenes molested like prisoners
Strangled by the strings of hunger
Whiles awaiting your promise to better the land

To the mighty above, they are left to pray
To sustain them without a pay
For the day the fire shall turn red
The evergreen’s scalp shall turn bald

Set Up a Council

There is something about a suicide bombing
That to me is quite alarming
What really was their actual intent?
And also message they may have meant.

Both killing as well as bodily harm
Has the whole world up in alarm
What will we all have to do next?
This is my message I had sent by text.

All of our blood is running thin
When you keep doing it again and again
To NATO and SEATO we should stampede
And set up a council to fulfill this need.

Local Arts Council

For the glory of God in the skies
Thanks for being forgiving and so wise;
Considerate, kind and understanding;
I will only pray and not be demanding.

When for God want to complete a task
All I ever have to do is simply ask
Him for great guidance and direction;
He will point me towards his perfection.

What you should do is first start
By making God source of your art
And ability to put things in your works
Even if quant and have a few quirks.

Ashes are always ashes and dust is dust
But before you die you so surely must
Brunswick Arts Council become part of
And for local art will have much love.

Heaken To My Council

I have said it once
Now will i say it twice
Not anymore 
Not trice
For she won't listen 
To my advice

She lives all her life
Bowing to images
And worshiping all the vanities

Thinking she is blessed
And will go to heaven
Now she perishes like a chicken
And she is soon forgotten

I will live a free man
Than to live a slave
For the beauty of the sea
Is it wave

The beauty of man 
Is to live a free man
A good seed 
Bears a good fruits
And a good water
Runs in a good fluids
