Mongers Poems - Poems about Mongers


War Mongers

the ravishing revolution, 
a wanton waltz of war, 
where proud generals prance, 
with bloody, 
bruised hearts' saw, 
their noble steeds, 
a phalanx of fantasy, 
trample the trembling, 
tender/timid/bereft/faint,
the mere infinite.

in this bloody ballroom, 
where death's dark majesty reigns, 
the lubricious language love/lust, 
of liberty's sweet pains, 
is reduced to snarling insolence, 
a dry, dusty joke,

Premium MemberLove To the War Mongers

my heart is open
I am ready to love everyone
to exude peace and hope
even to the war mongers

they are unaware of how they are hurting themselves
I give them as much affection as I can
wishing them to feel the love
and show empathy to their enemies

Premium MemberWar Mongers

Let's all try living in harmony side by side
Do we really think that's possible
Or are we destined to live like combatants forever
Which do I think is more possible

Definitely I do have my thoughts on the subject
Mine are honestly not that unique
The majority of people today would surely agree
Most do with a tongue in cheek

Only the

“Fear Mongers”

Newspapers yelling, 
TVs screaming,
Radios blaring.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Politicians lying,
Preachers ranting,
Black men dying,
Mothers crying.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Breaking news,
More breaking news.
Shootings here,
Robberies there,
More mothers crying.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Fear mongers
Marching, Marching, Marching
They’re coming to take you away
Hey! Hey!
They’re coming to take you

Premium MemberTormentors Rumor Mongers and Instigators

The tormenters tried to bully me. 
 I danced away, acting delighted.
This seemed to irritate them
But they teased others.

The rumor-mongers tried to guilt me.
I tossed their guilt into a burn pile
And lit it on fire after pouring on lighter fluid.
Their mouths flew open and down.

The instigators tried to make me feel badly about my past.
I

They had run out of vaccine and resigned

Peace spread like a mushroom cloud of goodwill

For the war on mercy there was no pill

In puzzled surrender they quarantined

Premium MemberReleasing Rumour Mongers

Lies from directions I had not expected 
Offered in a variety of ways 
Apologetically 

Pretending to be concerned 
I sent them away 
Recognizing their imperfections 

Seeing them more clearly now 
Rumour Mongers 
Thriving on gossip 

Fabricated by clouded minds
Trouble makers 
No longer friends of any kind

The Fear Mongers Have a Field Day

Fear had all but a few intrepid explorers in its icy grasp,
And even they not resisting the right of fear to, 
Lord it over the land.

Things looked bleak indeed for the human race,
With all means of advertising at fear's beck and call,
Social media spreading fear faster than the plague.

Journalists no longer free to print without

War Mongers

NO GLORY FOUND
 
No glory found and no guilt ever apportioned 
For those guiding young men to wars uncautioned,

The chosen too often of colour, unlearned or piss poor.
But true heroes they’ll be winning by force majeure.

Ticker tape parades and medals for those who make home,
For the rest, just a name on some glorious dome.  

But see

A Gossip Mongers

I know you are a gossip mongers
And you know I'm detesting you,
And you know I'm not pleased with you,
You always judge me day and night
And you follow me from left to right.
When will you stop to judge me?
When will you stop to follow me?

When I fail you are busy disseminating that tale
Through your sinful lips

Down With the War Mongers

Wars round the corner, 
wars at every bend
Could it be that all this 
warring would never 
ever end? 
Why can't we borrow 
love and peace too learn 
to lend? 
For peaceloving persons 
wars are hard to 
comprehend
But in which blessed 
century will the world 
it's ways amend? 
Why not be all sincere 
when peace we
