Human Rights Poems - Poems about Human Rights

A Night of '89
A Night of '89 Footsteps at midnight the knock no one dared answer. Dogs howled in silence. Charred Bodies on the road, eyes still open to the sky. The crows never ask. Posters on the wall by morning, the faces fade. Smoke curls from tire pyres . Mother lights a lamp. Her son's shoes still by the door. She dares not whisper. Gunfire in the dusk, then a scream...

Find My Broken Heart
Yesterday, I was writing poems about small things— how small beings dwell, how they endure, the quiet life we don't notice. A spider spinning a web in a corner. A bird singing at dawn. They teach us to slow down. To enjoy the little things. To survive softly. But today— I woke up to war. I don’t know who to notice first. The children in Gaza, who are so...

Human Rights
Every day, a new fight, For the dignity of human rights. People turning on each other, Instead of standing strong together. Prejudice against Black and Brown, Judging skin while tearing down. The suffering in Gaza—a tragic sight, Reflecting the loss of humanity’s light. The poor lie on roads to sleep, Without enough food, their struggles are deep. Villages parched with thirst and despair, In lands where...

The Thing
The things of which we cannot speak Make us become we cannot say The thing brought back from yesterday That praised the strong and crushed the weak That thing whose name we cannot name That fathers fought to keep at bay The thing we thought had gone away Now clothes our parliament in shame Klaus Barbie made their king of spies Elon von...

Premium Member The black hole of DC
“My name is Jonathan Mellis, I'm solitary confined In a D.C Jail, where they destroy your mind They call solitary confinement “the hole”. They drop you in and let time erode your soul. It’s hard to cope with this tunnel of sadness I'm facing At first, I'm lonely and my mind is racing. After a while this turns into desperate...

In case of article fourteen Quite a problem could have been Solved completely, setting free All from tribal pedigree No prejudice would take place Based on nation or the race No one meets with deprivation Well protected by convention Be it truth, we could have been Living in most fairiest dream Ever dreamt about, or heard Magic of the written word Would reach out the moral...

Time To Stand Up For Human Rights
It's time, For you to stand in line, And take a stand this time, While there is still time, For human rights to define. It is all to easy to define, The rights of those who think they deserve to shine, Brighter than those others who are in a different line, For all time. But I say that makes us all less fine,...
