Politics Poems - Poems about Politics

Once in a century there comes a notable war, To prove how uncivilized human beings are! One steps up, reaching for the star, The other steps down, Leaving a never-vanishing scar. O ruled people! Say no to war, It has always favored the rulers so far. “We are the saviors of the world,” they say, Yet the shepherdless flock is left as prey. What...

I am he who says goodnight. Don't take me for a label. At least I'm from a time when thought, Use portents undue fable. Vuck doors and rules to hide lyrics lying for a sadist, Lest the sense of selves perchance; employ spells of'n alchemist. I invoke the inner man. I invoke to see that who wants for...

You couldn’t see the forest for the trees, Just another microbe in America’s disease. “Read my lips,” Bush One said — You listened close and voted Red. Taxes rose, spending too — How’s that working out for you? You couldn’t see the forest for the trees, Just another microbe in America’s disease. “It’s the economy, stupid,” Clinton blew — You bought the line and...

I kneel by the ash heap of my country, pulling out the charred bones of laws once tender with purpose. A womb, a book, a vote—each gutted clean by men in ties who grin as they light the match, who quote scripture as forests burn and children cry in cages built from policy. My daughter will not inherit a peace I once believed in. She...

War is no one’s friend It smiles with fire, and devours to the end. It begins with banners, chants, and threats, But it ends in silence, graves, and tears. We know how it starts, loud, proud, precise. But who knows the cost? Who pays the price? Not just soldiers who fell in line But children, parents, souls divine. War wears no badge...

Politics is the art of the possible And of the impossible too Politicians make you responsible For all the bad things they do The people from other countries Despise you although they know You’ve no power to finish this Art of the impossible show So you are a pariah nation You are never an individual It is you who waits at the stations But still your...

From the ashes of struggle, we rose— I, Mao, with fire. I, Deng, with reform. Now, Xi walks where dragons tread, With silence sharper than swords. Taiwan waits—not to be taken, But to remember. For the Art of War wins wars unspoken, And rivers return to their source. Do not fear the red sun rising— It does not burn, It illumines. China does not beg the world. It...

They're smiling leniently don’t be silly You can’t be apolitical these days I’m smiling back I don’t trust them initially, It doesn’t fall under a criminal offence I’m fascinated by the incongruous lines Just look at those familiar shapes, distorted The early cubist paintings make them shine Not blindingly, but just how you would want it Ambiguous light of green and brown...

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....

In office halls, where silhouettes loom, Beware the boss who calls you aside to manipulate, A trap awaits, where whispers seal your destiny, Keep colleague woes locked deep, an unspoken weight. Security's helping hand may hold a test, Expectation's seed, in every coin you nest, Proximity breeds contempt, a subtle art, One day's omission, and you're branded apart. Close friendships forged in workplace...

Poem ‘Oblivion’ Drastic times calls forth bold demands, Not quiet hearts or passive hands. For change to rise, the roofs and roots must shake, To build a new, immoral and unethical ways must break. Sometimes it takes the patience to fall, To raise up justice, loud and tall. Opposition paves the path, it’s true, For something better, bold, and new. Wrongdoing for too long...
