Pain and failure make me to feel dejected
right from time I hated to see oppression
       love is so treasured.

Wiggling his sneaky red tongue:-

Idols

of oppression

upheld by belief

Always be calm during external fears growing, haunting inside. 
Just keep living. Miracles nourish oppression. Pain quietly runs.
Survive the underestimated vices with x-rays you zenith!

Laugh Why Not

The world can bring on a hell of a depression
You feel like you’re in an oppression
So I’d rather make you laugh
Even for a minute or a half
To disconnect you from realities connection
Form: Limerick

Oppression

The ego plaintiff's tool ~ oppression,
lest the house be ruled by God with intercession,
the sameness ranks and duels with fool's content ~ obsession,
and heart's song ranks with fools, in its regression!

Premium Member 'Back in the USSR'


      My wife came to America 
        glad to leave behind Soviet 
          oppression, communism 
             and state violence

        Apparently 
          she didn’t travel far enough

Alas the Day

Alas the day,
alas the night when the voices cease,
and the words run from the page,
when men, women, boys and girls are deprived through oppression, repression,
racism and hate,
and Ill education of an age.

Jenny's Side

Just because you support 
starvation
terror
oppression
on stolen lands
is no reason
none at all
to preach to me

Keep your opinion
with you and your cult
just stay away 
let the civilized be

Antigone Trilogy

Antigone did

That which Gods from her wanted

Bowing to no one

 

Freedom fighting girl

Ethic’ly responsible

A riot God sent

 

Freedom in God’s book

Resistance to oppression

End to slavery

Happiness, freedom and love
The optimistic vertex
Sadness, oppression and hate
The pessimistic vertex
Life is but a throw of the dice

Premium Member Where have all the poets gone?

The jester and the poet
the last bastions to protest
oppression

neither blind nor deaf
the silence tells the story
of my disgust

you have lost my respect
one day, when is your children
do not come crying to me

Veiled

Visible only 
the eyes to see 
where the path leads,
Buried beneath 
a disguise, no 
sign how the heart bleeds.
Covered from head
down to toe, a 
shapeless expression,
Only obedience to know and 
life of oppression.

I Rise

Tell my enemies, that I feel no fear.
Tell them I was forged in oppression, watered in tears.
Molded by the bullets, that embraced my peers.
Tell them, my heart is of steel.
Tell them I am Kurdish.
Tell them, so they hear.

Wisdom

When we’re young and prefer sagging trousers, we're left-wingers, we're hippies, carousers. Then we age and grow wise, cause our trousers to rise, and send soldiers to shoot rabble-rousers.

Premium Member LOVE'S FRUITING LIBERATION

We are juicy fruits,
flowing with sweet liberty;
drowning oppression:-

Nothing beats sweet love;
love’s the fruit of our spirit’s
sweet liberation:-

Bitter oppression
meets new raisins in the sun;
liberty preserved:-

Premium Member Our Freedom

We celebrate our freedom under
the gaze of our mothers who
fought through oppression,
Silently they look down
to the children they left
to inherit their legacy.

They stand between 
the mountains and the sun
their glow always felt.
