Nation Poems | Examples

rainbow nation

A nation rainbow

It rained and rained, fine rain but persistent 
mountains dissolved, and rocks turned into sand 
When the rain stopped, a smooth landscape 
of peace and camel dung
Before the deluge, people who had sinned were
stoned to death since this was no longer
Possibly the sinner had to eat a kilo of carrots
until they turned orange and
were not invited to dinner
or supervised at the supermarket
The authorities thought this was a good idea and 
made a color program,
to better classify
left-wingers
and radicals, making them eat cabbage till they 
turned green and could not hide their socialism 
tendency and forbidden to enter posh restaurants
The government liked this so much that they decided to
Classify all classes, beetroots for the royals 
deep yellow for the middle class, and potato peel
for the working class and pink for artists
Alas, people fall in love across the color barrier
Their children looked like rainbows and were impossible to classify
Therefore, the government declared everyone's
equals, but instead build bigger prisons

Premium Member Alien Nation

Alien eyes gaze from a crystal mist of white,
Beckoning, encompassing, consuming your light.
You're now helplessly suspended in wingless flight,
So, don't look for an exit...there's no exit in sight!

They amble and ramble, then they scramble your mind, 
The past becomes present, as you'll presently find.
Once you're prodded and poked, then you're poked from behind,
And all of you thought that...Genghis Khan was unkind!

Then you find yourself back, right back where you started,
You've been prodded and poked, then neatly discarded.
Your mind has been snapped cuz, your brain's been bombarded,
White-eyed and caged with the...mentally departed!

They whisk off to D.C., what else could be sweeter,
"We can't "Peter" around, our ship's on the meter!"
"We just heard that your "Boss," 'snot much of a reader,"
"I can't read either Jack!"..."TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!"

Premium Member In the interests of the Nation'

Its ob-scene yet not ob-scure.' Quite clear
The people must exerscise de'jure.' there
Were buisness officers sent armed to the
Teeth..Entailed unto your deadly grief.'
Just before the court action, Dezi was looking for truth and action.' Dingo dan though planned to thwart  being beside it  TWOT leader he'd have had to decide it would be great if an offence could be pinned on Freeman, the case would never
Be tried..Now goons are expendable.' And
If one perhaps were killed, he could say good riddance 'to that free-man' and old
danny boy could ridel.! That would only leave that car crash.? Yet he was good by
Thunder..The slipperiest snake that ever had slithered around
This land (Down under)

Premium Member SILLY BUT TRUE: A TANKAING FREE FLOW OF THE STATE OF OUR NATION

SILLY BUT TRUE:  A TANKAING FREE
FLOW OF THE STATE OF OUR NATION

Tariffing power,
With screwworm-like politics
Coopering our lives
Uprooting our lives:
Uprooting human justice,
Tree barking dread injustice:-

Military law,
Takes on nationwide control;
Policing all life:
Modern day monarchy times;
POTUS becoming king:-

Peace soon lay to rest;
The DOD, soon to be
The new DOW:
Download Other Wars coming,
As well as the new Red House:-

Yes, autocracy,
Displacing democracy,
Freely echoing
Power to do whatever
It wants to do, and will do!

Silly as it sounds,
All of this is as true as
The sun and the moon:
A true living reflection
Of the state of our nation:-

I am Rainbow

I am Rainbow 
seven colours merged to flowing 
glow in Dark Nights of the Soul
landed in a country nicknamed 
the “Rainbow Nation” untamed
my mission to transform, transmute
colours covered in dust and rust
with rain we gain, attain without shame
sublime freedom for Self and fellow 
with not much bellow never shallow 

arcs of colours we witness together 
comradeship our survival dope to cope
heliocentric symbols unified we hope
regard one another with approval and respect
as we watch rainbows high-low, know neglect
through struggling pain red became orange
orange yellow, yellow to green to blue then 
indigo to white sprinkled with fight, onto light
arcs across sunny skies, sunflowers, koppies 
such radiant patterns flood our mixed-up blood !


Premium Member Sad Man's Desire

I stepped on someone's gum
Now I'm part of a nation
I slipped on a paving slab
Now I'm part of another nation
Not that it’s up to my liking 
To change nations every day
But I can't argue if there are
So many nations that I don't have time to learn
Which one I'm a part of
At every moment of the day
Whose territories I appear on
And disappear without a care 
I don't mean to disturb all that 
Importance of power, those dour faces
That we are doomed to notice everyday
I don't mind if anyone is converted
To their familiar religions with those 
Cruel gods created by state-minded prophets 
In my view all this tormenting world
Was invented on purpose to spoil life
To intimidate us for no other reason 
Than power of the immortal troublemakers
Evolution is impossible
Consolations are rubbish
This species is hopeless
Not the first, not the last to become extinct 
I’m already gone fishing forever
Once I saw my eternal love’s face in the sky 
I wish to become a weed 
Growing on by a waterlogged stream.

Once again I defer today’s blessing to the Native Nations
I hope someday their wisdom will help us understand…
how we are not the total masters…
but only one part of the land

No one owns the water
No one owns the land
No one owns the ocean
No one owns the sand

These are give by our Mother

The Planet provides for free

Only by the hands
of the greedy
does the Earth
require a fee

Premium Member For The Unsung Heroes

Nationals you are the same
Whatever nation you relate to
You're caught up in the old game
Of some national breakthrough
The most independent sources 
Tell you what you need to learn
Privileged with self-importance
You count every cent you earn
Tell me propaganda stories
Tired generalizations
Pose a show-off with no worries 
Though you are a worried nation
That’s your special way to go
Just a little bit depressing
We are poles apart, I know 
But it seems a mutual blessing.

A School

Powerful is the art of school
To enlighten the spirits of the nation
To move burdens a cross the valleys, plains, mountains...
A school is a concrete atom of change
That flourish from time to time to challenge
The atrocities of the nation.

Wellington 1769-1852 and Bonaparte 1769-1821

'England is a nation of shopkeepers'
was never said by Bonaparte
but it was those self-same tradesmen
who kicked Napoleon’s ****
and
when at Waterloo they met
as he won the day
to give it a positive spin
one may only say,
"Wellington put the boot in!"

WE

Donkey.
Elephant.
Right, left, or center.
We The People are the core
Of our nation’s soul and we must defend her.
Radical agendas, violence and hate won’t do
We all must come together, black, white, red, blue; there’s so much more to do.
Solidarity and prosperity lifting all boats on its tide.
Put aside differences and focus on our goal.
We are the people, together we should stand
In the land of liberty
Of, and by, and for
The People
Just WE.

Premium Member One Fantasy Nation Under God

All citizens are happy and healthy
Wealthy and wise
A land where Jesus is Supreme Chancellor
Honorary Crowned Head of State
His Holy Spirit, the fire
Fueling our desire for freedom
For all peoples, for all Mankind
Our Wonderful Counsellor
Who sits on top of our make-believe throne
Undefeatable and all powerfully
Advising the President of Aerth,
Who's just a man, or woman
Elected to protect our interests
Abroad and at home
Throughout the Universe

Farming A Nation

Back drives me cold
Plant at village
Busy morning.

Season's shortage
Between rice price
Need force to plant.

Each time pants on
Soaking the mud
Life hard living.

Love those who work
A farm living
Help a nation.
