Republic Poems - Poems about Republic

The Not So Great Debate

The not so great debate in America today
Is that even though liberal people fear for their lives
They dare not violate the progressive ethos
Of victim first
And so argue round and round
That everything is okay and only getting better.

The irony of course is this obfuscation
And soft-core tyranny is actually illiberal.
But words today no longer matter
Labels being fungible
On

***** REPUBLIC

They captured and tortured my humanity.
They believed slavery and colonization would slaughter my Africanness.
Their heirs now ask me to sing praises of assimilation and integration,
To become yet another mop in service of the Republic of Enslaving Enlightenment.
I was born free, with Africa as my sacred land.
I will never bow before my oppressors.
I will never celebrate

Republic of Molossia

Cornichons


The Cute Kind
Tasse and  Gobelet are lovers.
Two beautiful peacocks.
I made a wager on the horses
,but didn't wanna tell my friends.
The woman said. She would 
listen to Organ music during the day
often times she'd sing along with
the words to the songs: she had
an old book with songs,rhymns and poems
in it. She'd get up early in

A Republic, if you can keep it

Apocrypha phantoms
Hustle flung at your plugged ears
Wretched refuse numbed

TITLE:




When asked what form of government the delegates at the Constitutional Convention had created, Benjamin Franklin famously responded with "A republic, if you can keep it," implying that the success of the republic depended on the active participation and responsibility of its citizens. 


Franklin's statement established the new

I'm not a bit like Socrates

All I know is that I know something,
though I agree, it ain't all that much.
But those like Socrates who say all that they know is nothing
seem to me to be completely out of touch.

Dry republic day!

Rainbow like flag emerged
Children born surrounded by waterless planets
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the republic!
Children grows to be adams and eves
Clouds of not readily mixed oxygen and hydrogen unyielding rain
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the republic!
Those born end up dying
Earth dries to dead earth
World shifting to countries without borders
Long live the

The Train They Call 'The Republic'

     Two weeks away, a changing of the guard
        Some folks may take it awfully hard

     Others smirk, their shoulders shrug
        The 'Republic' still on track to chug

Banana Republic

Self proclaimed prophets, living in Opulence.
Self proclaimed Disciples, living in Opulence.
How many biblical prophets lived in opulence?
Is this the Gainsaying of Korrah?
Or am I just a bit frustrated with deception and hypocrisy?
Self Proclaimed Messiahs, turning their backs on destitute women!
“IF I have this world’s good and see my brother in need and do nothing to

Republic

these myriad days I've grieved
towering loss of freedom once perceived,
furtive malignant cancer spreads
every citizen intrusive dread...
anon denizens of the dark,
surreptitious with their spark,
do undermine, deceive, and chart
a course diverse from heart's
inspired constructive bent
foundation land twas Heaven sent.

The Rot of the Republic

Listen up, 'cause I'm about to spit some truth
About a disease that's eating our society from the root
Corruption, the silent killer, the thief in the night
Stealing our future, our justice, our right

Bribes exchanging hands, backdoor deals in the dark
While the common folk struggle, just trying to make their mark
Services meant for all, now reserved for

india talking to ourselves

sky has no limit
earth has limits
overseas India-centric radicals' insurgency
one dragon, dragon's Asia, dragon's world
amidst global wars,is India occupation country spirit? world spirit?
will there be cross border aggression or war within country?
wear your soldier hat
be war ready
fulfill the call of duty for which you arrived 

The Fall of The First Republic

When freedom defers its justice,
    A fearful republic becomes
        Impotent to expedite.
                                 

All Hail the Republic

The concept of a royal family
Is such a ludicrous thing,  
Products of privileged inbreeding  
Worshipped as Queen  or king.
So, when the current one dies
And, I stress, and only then
He should be replaced by
A broody, fat farmyard  hen.

Clucketty MacCluck theyll call her:
She’ll be so much cheaper to pay
With less embarrassing behaviour
And unlikely

Republic

It only works when
         the public thing  fully loved
          respected for all...

Tamar the Great of Georgia

[paraphrase of a Svan folksong]


I, I am Queen Tamar
I raised myself to Heaven
I dug up a barren mountain
I left only a deep hole
I put the sword to Constantinople
I drove them into the sea
I made their lands my lands.
