The Americas Poems | Examples

Putin's Deranged Press Conference

Putin holds a deranged press conference in which he outlines his plans
For the future of Europe and the world:

- Russia would rule eastern Europe and the Central Asian Stans as in the old Soviet era.
- He would proclaim himself the Czar of Russia, and Xi would rule East Asia and SE Asia as the new Emperor of Asia.
- Teheran would rule Iran and Afghanistan.
- The Saudis would rule the Middle East but would recognize Israel.
- Western Europe would continue as the EU and the UK would continue.

- The US would be given the Americas.

- Africa would be divided up between the great powers.

- The UN would be replaced with a much more focused international organization
  Where the powers would jointly rule the world, cooperate on global issues,
  Such as climate change and space exploration.

A military conflict would come to an end.

The Beaver-Ization of the Americas

Can this thing go any faster?
At this rate, we’ll all be left behind 

Cheers to our philosophy 
of this could be our “perfect disaster” 

Running power lines through empty cities 
It felt like we could take on the world if we wanted to 

I miss those feelings
fading, fading 

How could something so real  
slip away from me?

Wandered into a fairytale 
I’m scared if I open my eyes,
it’ll all go away 

I’m calling for something real
At this rate, we’ll all be left behind 

I’m calling you back
hoping my advice 
can be your immediate relief team 

But unironically,
I’ll fall harder and faster than you will

I only hate you 
‘cause you’re more forgiving than I could 
ever wish to be 

Can this thing go any faster?
At this rate,
I’d rather be left behind


Premium Member Flat Wrong

The Spanish had armadas;
the Americas, flotillas.
The Amazon has capybara;
the Andes has chinchillas.
Kentucky has its sassafras;
Madagascar has vanilla.
Napoleon lost at Waterloo;
Frazier, in Manila.
Will a person tell the Mexicans
how to pronounce tortilla?

Premium Member Understanding Our Past, Living Today, Creating Our Future

Only when lions have historians
will hunters cease being heroes
we are one nation, one family, indivisible 
for us, divorce or separation are not options

Though blacks first stepped foot in the Americas, in 1518
racial barriers broken, time passes,but love endures
racial rifts, tearing at the heart of America
clean your house of racism, America

Racism is a sickness that may never go away
there's no color in love
the ship has whethered every rack, the prize we sought is won
the port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting

African American history; the record of a race
of indomitable people surviving the diaspora
where do we go from here!
we move united into the future


Easternmost Point of Americas Collapsing

We have atavistic coincidence :
easternmost point
 of the Americas
Cabo Branco, Paraíba 
Brazil

Far Across the Atlantic

From dusk till dawn, the fields, they toiled
Enduring lashes from the overseer's whip.
Grimacing as the sun on them, boiled
The pain, too deep for them to even weep.

Heavy iron shackles impeded their footsteps
Hot iron on bare skin branded them as property
And while many suffered from broken biceps
Others died and few in pains, reached forty.

The maidens got raped by the bearded monster
The children, separated and sold like sheep
And while many got maimed in this order
With stoicism they endured with little sleep.

The Americas, my Ancestors built
And like soldiers far from Rome, 
They sweated and died without guilt
In a land they couldn't call home..

They toiled under the sun in silence
Their minds, blurred by the middle passage
Such hideous and appalling violence
That saw thousands cast overboard during the voyage.

Gathered at dusk around their candle stick,
Desperation had struck some with insomnia.
Families in fear clung, while the kids kick
Hearing their parents voices singing in nostalgia

"Home again again, home again again
When shall I see my home?....."

Premium Member A Simple Love Spoon a Token of Love

A Simple Love Spoon.
.
A gift for you my lovely
The fairest maiden of our valley
And a such a beauty to behold
I carved thee a love spoon
Out of a simple piece of wood
I wish that it was gold

But I be a simple peasant boy who’s poor
And you be a milkmaid
That my eyes and heart adore
. 
A simple spoon but a token of my undying love
For thou art an angel
Sent from heaven up above
This spoon is all I have
I hope it’s good enough
.
One fine day I’ll go to the Americas
Far across the seas
And become a gentleman and man of means
Just wait and see
Then I’ll give all you want
A fine dress and silk ribbons for your hair
So you will look a fine lady
At the next goose fair
.
Will you then wait for me my love
Upon the meadow 
Under the shade of our special tree
Where we first kissed and fell in love
And you gave yourself to me.
.

Unpopular Questions Number 3 of 2020

Glorious Spain after 1492, and the cost
Long forgotten, but for Bartolomeo de Las Casas
O the lie of OUR WORK ETHIC! How did Catholic Iberia
Rule the Americas (1492 -1898), dominate Europe?
You can rule, too, if you enslaved all of the Americas!

Little Corona

Little Corona
declared one day
"I will be the strongest,
most powerful I say !"

"I shall conquer the world,
and establish my reign.
The world in my hands,
never free again !"

"The fittest shall survive,
as Darwin said.
And all the weaklings,
will sadly be dead"

"Ridden with fever,
cough and cold,
the world will suffer,
the young and the old...."

"My reign will start
where its most populated,
I think its China"
little Corona speculated.

"I will then go on 
to the Americas,
the world's most famous,
celebrated landmass."

"And that's not the end"
little Corona  went on,
"I will destroy the world,
my reign will go on !"

"I will make sure,
none can escape, NONE !!
Try as hard as they might,
to fight me or run."

"I am the most powerful,
and I am very clever.
I will conquer the world,
You can defeat me NEVER !!"

Or so Corona thought,
being little and immature.
But man is much smarter,
and will certainly find a cure !

Ball Bearings

i'm confused
not knowing
where to go
what to do

my compass
needle sticks
out reading 
south by 
south 
west
but 

google map
and my gps
suggest
another
place
as 
to

where
the X
may be
yet directing
me are directions
that are directionally
my instincts telling me

you are
exactly 
where
you are 
meant
to 
be

but by my
calculations
with sexton and
star eyed gazing
the Americas weren't
discovered by Columbus
so Colombia isn't spelled

with
a "u"

The Beauty of the Statue of Liberty

(Fact not fiction. True research).

Birth place creation from France
The one and only Queen of freedom 
Along side of Queen of England.
Sculptured design by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi
The statue of liberty was and built by Gustave Eiffel.
Arrived in 214 in a package case from Roven France.
I can imagine that was a lot of weight and work well done in deed
June of 1885 the completed Statue became dedicated.
Of course it was dedicated on October 28th,1886 by president Grover Cleveland. 
 designed as a National Monument in 1924. and becomes the Americas most famous symbol of freedom. with it star of it's own.one of a kind even I would want one of my own.
Beautiful for sure the statue will always be. I've seeing it up close it's taller than a tree.
All statues have a history that means something to the world
Of what was then and now without them all  we would of never now what was then and now having a art to go with the books.

Rapid Fire

It’s the heat of the moment
Which ignites into flames
The burning passion
That trickles down your veins
Calling it love
Until the lover deceives you
Passing his blood
While she provides the forbidden fruit
It’s the blazing fire that’s spreading
To eradicate the people still standing
Who carries the burden of slavery and colonization
From Africa to the Americas 

So stand up for the cause
And put out the fire
Until it glows into a small ember
Protect yourselves before the fire ablaze
Turn away from the chaos
That runs through your veins
Don’t grab the fruit 
Like the Serpent gave to Eve
And Eve gave to Adam
For him to bite into it
Or you will get burnt
By a rapid fire

Promethean Gifts

Inca Indians cultivated potatoes
 thousands of years before Christ.
 Other indigenous domesticated tomatoes
 and maize and they gave it to us.
 
Many centuries of artificial selection
 by the indigenous people of the Americas
 resulted in the development of corn plants
 for the benefit of all mankind.
 
The Olmecs staple crop –
 Promethean gifts given to us
 in brotherly trust.
 And we locked them in artificial Reservations.

The Chase

They chase me out of Israel
They chase me out of the Pacific
They chase me out of Asia
They chase me out of Europe
They chase me out of the Americas
Now they are chasing me out of Africa
I have not a place to go Lord

You have heaven
