Short Citizenry Poems

U.S. Governors take a 'Hypocritic Oath'
Vowing stubbornly to be blind to both

  Whatever contradicts their beliefs
  Or might give their citizenry relief...

Citizenry
Should learn
To differentiate between needs and wants
Much more before they waste their resources
Hard-earned money

Right now
Swift understanding
To differentiate between needs and wants
Someone to live without a want
Only a need

Caesar preferred to be quietly interred

  But to Antony his friend he deferred --
 
With Rome's citizenry Antony conferred

  Spurred them on with the passion of his words

Masterfully, did he their emotions stir --

  They'd hunt down and kill the conspirators, sure...

Sure enough, as fire particles gray the California sky,
And when stinky particles foul the dawn air,
You want to shout out...why,why??
Ugly masks only make it worse.
Don't yet call the hearse!
Citizenry have a plan.
Poetry in motion!
Recall governor,
Man!

Hear the roar of freedom
feel the thunder of the never ending march
of determined multitudes
seeking to keep this great experiment
called America on it's path to greatness
agree or disagree   
    ...her strength
the right of self determination
of mind, spirit and body,
for each of it's sacred citizenry     
   ...her cornerstone...

A lovely, senior named Ruth,
Was told to don ugly goggles, forsooth!
By Canadian powers that be,
That frightened the good citizenry.


She went hobbling to the store.
Ruth, was smacked by the front door.
By a youth in such a hurry,
No apologies, but just like a rat did scurry,

An ancient sage once warned the citizenry:
  Pray for the welfare of the government.
  For without the fear of its legislation
  Every man would swallow his fellow (man) alive.

This is in need of a slight change in the USA
For the Trump Presidency (2016 to ?):
  Pray for the welfare of the governed --
  That the leader not swallow his subordinates alive

"Every day will be better and better, Comrades!"
  --thus Nikita Krushchev to Soviet citizenry, nightly on TV
    before suddenly disappearing from public view in 1971 

"Every day in every way I am getting better and better."
  --thus (former mental patient) Inspector Dreyfus
    before his unfortunate demise in the 1976 film
    'The Revenge of the Pink Panther'

 What do you think?  Was there a link?...

The spires watch nightmares planned below, for citizenry
Who should have no foe.' From within its boundry's
They're to be fools on show, the first of April, auspisces
Known.' The donkeys are leading all reason has flown.'
Six the number..' of zones in plan? to destroy cohesion
Do we give a damn.? In academia many need real learning'
We experience much deluge, and yet there's lots of chat; that 
The planet; is burning.?

Oh say 
Can we see?
What is country,
What can it be?
Are its citizenry 
Inclusive and free?
What gender is innocent 
In our mist?
What higher moral code
Can we resist?
Which pigmentation 
Or spiritual quest 
Should unite the nation 
For the singular best?
What part of human kind
Must a country keep in mind?
What can a country be
That limits liberty, 
If all these things 
A country cannot be
Then nothing 
In this country 
Shall be free....

We, the citizenry as a whole, cannot successfully coexist peacefully. Family units, as a whole, cannot exist peacefully. Isn’t it hypocritical to expect more than we can do, from world leaders, The same as us, except for rank. Until they feel the pain, and suffering, of those they govern, they will continue to sacrifice lives, and create hardships in others, in the name of righteousness, as easy as cutting chattel, from the seemingly never ending stalks of wheat....

The honored dead lay in their graves
While on this special day we praise
Their unselfish contributions:
Each gave their lives for this nation;
A great country with liberty
Enjoyed by its citizenry.
What do we do to contribute?
Lay flowery wreaths, a tribute?
We the living need to do more:
We must earnestly strive toward
A lasting peace, not just in words
But deeds, so war does not recur.
The toll is too great on the young:
Our dead and wounded are its sum....

By what perverse mental capacity
Does the bully gain satisfaction
In administering agony upon another

By what human deficiency 
Does the dictator righteously believe
Their dictates should circumscribe a citizenry

By what delusional misconception
Does a people follow in obedience
A potentate’s decrees of servitude to state

By what level of constitutional dismantling
Does “We the People” have to be unglued
Before our comrades vote to remove potentates, dictators, and bullies...
