Plutocrats Poems | Examples


Ya Boo and Fiddlesticks

Ya boo and fiddlesticks
to the thorns of life and all that pricks.
Ya boo, too, ye  plutocrats
who treat the rest like worthless rats.
Fiddlesticks to  ivory towers
where boffins sport their mental powers,
deeming themselves to be omniscient
and lesser minds somewhat deficient.
Give me the simple things of life,
these to share with kids and wife.

Premium MemberMaking America Grungy Again

AnthroCentrism
grows from globally rabid nihilism.

As cynicism
grows from anthropocentric roots

As narcissism
grows from cynical Lose/Lose
trampling our Win/Win EarthTribe opportunities
in over-marching, 
uneconomically smart
unecologically naive
anti-ego/ecosystemic,
stomping bully boots.


What the USSR Military-Terrorist Party
learned the hard way,
their Russian mafia metamorphosis
has learned a simpler
continuing kleptocratic way:

When plundering and raping your own people
and Earth's international climate of active nutritional hope,
it is easier
and less transparent
to not have the unfortunate responsibilities
of actual 
factual RealTalk 
and RealWalk governing service provision

Like developing robust health and climate care systems
and building safe railroads and bike paths
and viable water and sewer systems
and healthy soil
and potable water supplies
and breathable air
and not quite so yang-fired up
win/lose competitive capital hoarding
among just-us AnthroCentric plutocrats.

Would that Apprentice Donald
had stayed private mafia likewise
rather than fiddling and twittering
extracting and walling
making America grungy again.

Premium MemberGrowing Competing Anxieties

What is the best available treatment
for cancerous climates of anxiety?

Well, 
imagine you were born in a USA
time and place
when we knew only one retributive model of justice,
both internal theological punishment for being merely mortal
and external anti-ecological.

Now imagine you live in a Win/Win 
time and place
wherein Restorative Justice Peace Warriors
are also PermaCulturing Designers
of natural landscapes,
internal and external,
and spiritual-experiential-sensory climates,
internal and external,
nondually co-arising.

Best still-available long-term therapies
for growing Wonder and Awe
and Grace and Good Karma Climates,
long-term restorative health co-designers,
for democratic regenerative polyculturing outcome optimization
WinWin planning and strategics and praxis,
and not so much merely against
Republican DeGenerative MonoCultural Income Hoarding for Plutocrats,
dissonance,
disarray,
dismay,
decaying Win/Lose
toward Lose/Lose (0)Soul Trends,
4D RealTime double-binding nihilistic
denialism of Win/Win ego/ecotherapeutic 
sacred/secular co-equivalence,
cosmic cosmological co-incidence.

Premium MemberOne Home, Many Flags

We are one people,
with one home,
and one flag."
D. J. Trump

Hmmm.
I was with him
right up to the last word,
where I so hoped,
without any realistic expectation,
he would say one "climate"

Waving many diversely colored
polyphonic and polycultural flags
on behalf of health for all species
and against pathology for any ecosystem.

Democrats support WinWin politics
for all polypathic flags
of Earth enhabiting cultures,
where nationalistic elitists,
Plutocrats and entitled patriarchs,
are blinded by their own short-sighted ego-centric flag waving
for secularized wealth,
dualistically devoid of double-boundaried sacred health.

National flags rise and fall,
and still Mother Earth expects an answer
to which one climate we would have become
the fairest of and for us all.

The American Dream

The American Dream is dead indeed
A victim of American Greed
Trickle down they said we’d try
Then proceeded to suck us dry

The One Percent seeking thrills
Living large in Beverly Hills
Paying minimum wage even though it kills
And the middle class can’t pay their bills

Infinite growth is just a dream
Some would call it a Ponzie Scheme
Leveraged living by the way
Selling tomorrow to pay for today
On this you surely can depend
Certain destruction in the end

Time will pass it’s always the same
Just the same old political game
Some other fool will take the blame
Absolving us of our Great Shame

As always the best government money can buy
Politicians ready and eager to comply
Super PACS no need to balk
The Supreme Court ruled money talks

Citizens United paved the way 
Now Plutocrats will have their sway
Most will suffer a few will play
But in the end we all will pay

The greedy deeds of Kleptocrats
Both Republicans and Democrats
Business as usual the same old malarkey
Democracy taking us to Oligarchy

But be of stout heart and have no fear
Climate change is already here
And in the end it will be clear
Sooner or later we’ll all disappear

Rise To Power

Rise to power
Soar to fame
All that's certain
Can't explain
All I feel
Is much to blame

Politicians
Running free
Plutocrats
Not meant to be

Salutations
False to me
Winning losers
Never see

Time has come
To alter gaff
Mend the tear
That we must laugh

Situation
Runs amok
And beats upon
Fair nation's luck

To soldier in
Democracy
Emerging in
A fallacy

The Reckoning

Have we not witnessed two centuries of hate?
Unspeakable horrors, on land and on seas,
Forced Democrarcy down on her knees
With barabric massacres and mindless waste;
Yet blinding Hatred brooks no debate.
Intellect revered, while Wisdom and Peace
Are held to ransom by plutocrats obese.
Undermined, Faith flees, carries no weight
When despots, demagogues, harangue the masses,
Slaves to gadgetry and consumer greed
Mammon rules with none to intercede
Over a planet bereft of natural resources; 
Blithely blinkered in rose-tinted glasses
We ignore the Reckoning - it fast approaches.
