Politicians Poems - Poems about Politicians

they said it was the sun, but it was her eyes— blue like drowning, and I looked. I didn’t whistle, I didn’t speak, just looked. they dragged me out like a busted dog from a hot porch, shouting things even the devil would blush at. the rope was older than the tree, and the hate older than that. tell her I forgive her— but never them. ...

In this country Politicians line their pockets from back-door deals Sports figures kneel with raised fist, and protest our flag Hollywood celebrities exclaim they will leave our country Silicon Valley tramples on free-speech norms Corporate elites rig systems to transfer wealth and live more royally than kings of yore, while Children hunger for food for love for protection from abuse Where are the marchers, the protesters with...

They called it progress But the last time I checked Progress can't exist without justice Especially when we still can't breathe even in the afterlife But we will always scream No justice, no peace We can't be silenced Even if we have to use violence You see the politicians using our graves To boost their campaigns 'Forgetting' to mention our names Then Simultaneously putting the blame On...

We clap and cheer when they speak well phrases that please that cast a spell. But behind the brilliance are borrowed lines they read poets study the rhymes. Our leaders rhyme not truth but lies with practiced timing and careful guise. They stir the crowd with crafted speech not to uplift but to mislead. And yet if words can sway the hearts of men then write your truth and write again....

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...

I chuckle soft when people fume, And blame the lot in suits and gloom. “You see those leaders? All a scam!” But who’s still selling free yarn? Was it not your own cousin’s name, On that campaign with matching frame? The nurse who sighs, “This ward’s a zoo,” Still checks her brows in selfie view. She posts, “On duty, Lord be praised,” While someone’s...

We are the quiet ones, lost in the hush, Where the world storms past in a thunderous rush. The lights are too bright, the voices too loud— But we dream in the softness behind the cloud. We did not ask for a battle or war, A war how foolish that we can't win, Yet they fashion laws like licence plates. The kind...

Will they come with cold, proud eyes, And laws like winter in their hands? Will silence fall where once were cries— The laughter none but we understand? I saw the stars through a hospital pane, And wondered if they’d burn for me, Or if their fire would die in vain, In halls without our poetry. They call us strange, too loud, too still, Too...

Solar system, twenty-four-hour rotation—turning, three hundred sixty-five-day revolution—returning. Asseveration system, four-year migrant, overturned cups, promises, spilling out like the unborn, bathing the heart’s ear, resounding canyon echoes of sanguinity, prosperity, fantasy. Poverty or opulence? Debate, ponder, discord. Choice, suffer suffrage. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Nothing changes! Politicians, ambivalent Robin Hoods from hell. Change your life? A mendacious mendicant’s tale. ...

Nature did not unleash her terror on us as it did with Noto, Haiti, or the Indian Ocean. We abuse nature with the stamp of leadership which impedes lives, causing artificial stampedes of hunger, worse than nature's disasters. Quakes of human stampedes everywhere! Ibadan free funfair stampede Okija and Abuja free rice distribution stampedes are only where the lens focused, away...

Would you trust in him, the question I pose, A puppet master, in a circus of woes. Democrat or Republican, he don’t care who he’s pimping, Got shot at by his own, this so-called politician. Looks like he’s been in a brawl with Tyson’s bite, Rising through chaos, in the dead of night. Just like Hitler, hell on earth, different time, All...

Politicians when asked a question will never answer with a yes or no. They'll question the question to avoid the truth then disappear up their own arsehole. PS, and that's what they talk out of now days....
