Nationalism Poems - Poems about Nationalism

Today's leaders
From ashes of pain, true leaders rise, Forged in struggle’s unyielding cries. Yet now, from gilded thrones of greed, False prophets spawn, with lies they breed. They weave deceit, a cunning art, To hijack souls and rend the heart. Using hired blades and looted dimes, They buy men to side their evil dreams Behind a flag, their falsehoods creep, While nation bleeds and victims...

Premium Member Gee, Why Can’t We All Just Get Along
This basic wish Is the wish of every mother and child The wish for things to be safe and fun For everyone to smile And not push and shove, yell and fight. It’s the wish that drives them like sheep Into the beautiful green pastures over there Just beyond the bounds, always Just out of reach. It’s the wish to unite Form a one...

Let the New Year Come
(Dedicated to the Filipino Youth) Our years of youthful yonder— carry the mark of strength and beauty. Like ancient, unwavering mountains, no force can shake us, no storm can bend us. Our years of noble sacrifice — bear the weight of wisdom and menace. Like the clever, tireless ant in summer daze, Rizal’s pen a throne of heroes’ embrace. Our years of patriots and...

When personal narcissism and tribal autism choose our words as hurting threatening weapons of trauma defense Rather than choosing wealth of healing win/win tools for compassion's therapeutic mind/body unfence We soon find that no one cares to impatiently listen outside our partisan walls For whatever future mindful kindness and EarthBody forgiveness we cannot trust will win/win wealth/health last....

I never doubted my gliding flight like a baby bird, I have always trusted the free winds of democracy. It offers justice for those whose freedoms are deferred. It grants inclusiveness to those so threatened by autocracy. I am just a poet, still believing synergy has wings, I am just a poet trusting economic popular will, a working-class autarky of mutual...

Premium Member Not Yet Time For Paradise
Mistaking side by side pluralism for more resonant co-infested polyculturalism Is like mistaking chaotic divisions for resilient organic complexity, integral multiplicity Like only perceiving competitive dissonance and degenerative confusion while missing inside resonant light regenerating cooperative mind/body health/wealth consciousness Free from win/lose lack-of-capital-driven anxiety, Free toward win/win co-invested anticipation Dipolar co-arising hope Left/Right UpMight/DownTight root-budding Yang/Yintegral bilateral balance Resonantly resilient Way as a round wombed ch'i polypathic pole Holonic joy of sacred unscared unscorched Earth Tribes timeless unboundaried win/win paradise, co-invested bipartisan peace...

Nationalism, Not God, Is Behind War
FROM A COMMENT TO ONE OF MY GOOD READERS/ Soupers: "It's a blessing to have known Jesus through one's parents. I was 30 when I began to take Jesus seriously ("an acquired taste," for a Hindu nationalist). It's NATIONALISM - of whatever kind - THAT IS CAUSING WARS, not God/Jesus. Study wars & it's civil &...

Anaya and Ann Foster - Thanx - Nationalism Exposed By Me Alone Here
In 1897 Theodr HERZL created the Zionist Movement, but his great work helped create the State of Israel in 1948. Where is the State of Zion? Perhaps he meant the Israelist Movement rather than Zionist? Long before USA and revisionism were born, the Prophet Nehemiah - in exile with The Chosen people in Persia - dreamed...

Putin and Trump's Dream
I In 2023, Trump won the presidential elections. On inauguration day Don Trump gave Putin a present, Ukraine. He said, with some history as backing, "nationalism" is a nuisance. We had no war with Russia when the Soviet Union existed. Ukraine is not as special as Israel. In fact Putin and I have plans to make...
