Crackpots Poems | Examples


Premium Member 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.'

Premium Member Sound Science

Hello Darwin my old friend
It seems we are crackpots again
As knowledge has become forbidden fruit
Applying logic is now completely moot
With Edward Jenner turning in his grave
Can’t save the saved
With the sound of science

With ICUs packed to the door
And health officials asking for
Everyone to just wear a mask
Apparently a most invasive task
To protect your neighbours from this disease 
They’re on their knees
With the sound of science

Now you may call me heretic
For being so scientific 
But I have faith in my fellow man
That beating this disease we can
By trusting experts who know their stuff
Would be enough
To hear the sound of science


Premium Member American Dystopia: West Coast

************

American dystopia,where law breaking  is fine.
San Freaksisco, USA, civil living disappeared in no time.

Streets filled with thieves and have become public latrines.
Owners of small businesses are regularly and joyfully bitten!
.
Perfectly OK, by our governor with madness, encouraged.
You can move here and steal, though by sane people, vehemently discouraged.
.
Some have elected crackpots, having profound disrespect for law and order.
They need to move without haste, south of the border!
.
My heart weeps for the beauty and civility that California has indeed lost.
Our law abiding citizens hopes and dreams disappeared in a political holocaust!

Thinning hair, lost some weight,
Then, his fellow runners in the race,
Walking over him like old cheese cake!
Dragging anything out to do him in_
Anita Hill? Wow, yesterday's newspapers,
An aging,wrinkled pill!
Crackpots on skateboards, DUI's,
Flailing their arms, promising the moon.
Thinking ...younger means better!
These arrogant aging prom queens and kings,
Need their lips, tightly tethered.
One day, they too, will be weathered!

Hot Dogs A New York Tale

There once lived a Mayor named Di Blasio,
Who had steamy, hot desires for Ocasio!
In an effort to woo her and all health crackpots, too, 
He pulled out his very lengthy political lance.

"Ah, Divine Maiden, I want you all for my own.
For only this for you will I do,
I am deporting all unhealthy, evil hot dogs to
France."
Maiden Ocasio in gratitude fell to her feet.

So Nathan's went out of business!
Oh how greatly, the New Yorkers wept!
Said she: "The world will indeed be Green!
You and I will be King and Queen..
No cows, no cars, no steel buildings
Divinely, so peachy-clean!"

Premium Member Wacky Towns

I've visited many towns and cities as I've traversed this old orb,
Their culture, their food, their beauty and architecture to absorb.
Istanbul, Tokyo, Athens, Casablanca and London I fondly recall;
Well-known names, but the names of English villages beats them all!

It would be interesting to know who established the town of Throop,
And the name of the prankster who settled the village of Droop!
The borough of Great Snoring must be a sleepy village (so to speak).
I suspect Piddlehinton is rife with bushes to hide behind to sneak a leak!

I suppose citizens of Blubberhouse are proud to call it their abode.
Picklechurch and Picklescott are villages with exotic names bestowed.
Then there are the towns of Affpuddle, Puddletown and Briants Puddle.
What crackpots concocted those names to amuse and thus befuddle?

Barton In The Beans and Bitchfield grace the verdant country-side,
And in the bergs of Didling and Papplewick, denizens happily abide.
I must admit that here in the colonies there are oddly named towns too,
Like Bean Blossom, Tillamook and Intercourse, just to name a few!

We Will Not Be Quiet

They want the people to go away
To keep quiet
shhhh…. don’t say a word.
But…we’re not!
We the people elected them!
Why should we stay quiet?
This is our country!
We are the people!
We are the voters!
We own this country…not the elected officials!
So..why should we be quiet?
Why should we go away!
Who in the hell are those elected officials anyway!
Get out! Get out of my government! I don’t want you anymore!
“….when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same 
object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it 
is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their 
future security.” [Declaration of Independence] 


Written in response to the assertion by some officials in Washington and the media 
that the citizens calling themselves Tea Partiers were a bunch of political radicals 
and crackpots.

Oil Spill

No words ...
no words strong enough
to capture this obscenity
as egrets and alligators,
shrimp and oysters
and human beings suffocate
on the stench, the filfth of the latest
greatest disaster.

On the radio
some myopic crackpots
are talking about the price of BP stock
and 'now would be a good time to buy.'
Buy while we die.
Sell while you kill 
our Earth.

Of what use is this rage, these tears
with a fist raised to darkening skys?
Skys that fill with ether 
up from the bowels of the earth.
Perhaps, all the sinkholes happening
around our planet originate
from stealing this black gold 
out from its natural place.

Selfish, greedy thieves.
This is the legacy we leave.
