Politics Poems - Poems about Politics

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...

Democracy in a Coffin” They wrapped the flag around his mouth, called it freedom, then shot him for speaking. The ballot box bleeds ink and oil, votes drowned in rivers of silence. Statues stand on broken backs, names carved in stone— not to honor, but to forget. Children chant anthems in empty classrooms, their futures auctioned for one more war, one more lie. This isn't a nation— it's a graveyard with borders....

Religion and politics stay away I want to stay positive and play Religion and politics make me feel blue I’ll be me, and you be you No judgements between us if you please Do not care if you are Democrat or Republican I am independent, but won’t mention this with ease For division takes away from all kinds of friends and fun...

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...

Written By: D. Collins 5/8/25 After tariffs upon the world an American Pope is elected. Does it have anything to do with how we're so disrespected? Maybe it's the world's way of trying to reign Chaos in. While Chaos will expect the Pope to personally visit him. Does The Pope have knowledge of the petafiles within the church? Did he...

Two friends among the distances One is red and one is blue Uniting despite the fights The colors choose to fuse Purple is a pretty color It's the color we should be Martin Luther didn't die Rosa Parks didn't cry For us to live separately I love my neighbors, red and blue Black, mixed and white Men, women, other, too I love whoever...

One step back, two steps forward, Swing around and do the dance, Keep it fast, a little awkward A whole world audience to entrance. Now you've got them captivated Up the tempo, raise the heat, Some may need to be sedated As they wither from your beat. Hearts loud-pounding, foreheads thumping, Gasping air among the shouts, Doomsayers bleating, markets jumping, Second guessing, full of doubts. Quite the...

Crowley can suck eggs and men in beds, The spies can take a long and slutty hike. Leavitt can take the words she spreads, And sit for each on cactus spikes. Magic is but a muse, A trick a mind performed en masse, Claiming fiction in the news, As if evil's in the smoke of grass. Ghosts and spirits float in heavens, Hovering in...

In twilight's hush, where shadows play, A paradox reigns, in endless sway, The good perish, while the wicked thrive, In this land, where virtue's brief, and vice survives. Patriots fall, like autumn's leaves, Assassinated, poisoned, for their noble deeds, Their voices silenced, before their time, As darkness feeds on justice's prime. Bola Ige, Barnabas Igwe, Marshall Harry too, Ogbonnaya Uche, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and more,...

Rome they say, was burning and its monarch was playing fiddle... The neo Neros, today, pour fuel on the fire-flames... Caste, color, creed, religion, sect, Each thing is bundled up as fine fuel With our dreams, all these burn into ashes. They give us loud calls to quench the fire. Dousing the flame, they say, is our task. Fire might swamp our little huts. We should...

Amidst the noisy world, A unique character is bound, Every creature has a sound, A little moment shared—will find. A day cold and drizzly, Folks remain warm and sturdy, Thin icy drops cheer their voice, A dense squall amplifies the noise. A rough buzz in the debate ground, Eyes glued to the stand, A diverging array of political discourse, Convincingly, to retire the crowds’ doubts. Cheers to...
