Theocracy Poems

Murky Mists of Narcissists Trysts

Varnished Tech Titans
Tattered totems tarnished
Viral tribal bible spiral
Tainted talismans taunted
Cash cows flaunted
Gerontocracy trumps democracy
Theocracy stumps hypocrisy
Autocracy dumps diplomacy
Haunted schism prism
Vaunted Fat Cats
Enigma?…just
Dogma & Stigma
Tit for Tats
Martian Martial law
Doff your hats
To techno-*wats
And petro-*rats
Deplore or Encore?
Poor Planet in flux
All about the bucks
Ersatz Fat Cats
Well More is More!

Baha'i temple and a raincoat

The overpouring raindrops, the incessant rain outside was telling me continuously,
She was a story to nay sayer
and he was a theme park to symbolic haifa.

Baha'i temple and a raincoat.
People get soaked there.
With theocracy, bureaucracy, faithfulness, faithlessness, midlife crisis and many more like all these.
We and the downpouring sounds outside, are a drawback, still
That heavenly sky is still a striker hand of an indoor game!

CHRIST, when the time came, set his face toward Jerusalem

REPORTS from those who hated him did not detour his mission

ONLY finishing his assigned task was the thing that mattered

STARTING a new religion or creating a theocracy was not his plan

STOPPING the Roman Government in its tracks was not his purpose

RIGHTEOUSNESS would be established by his cruel death on the cross.

OPENED doors to eternal life swung wide to all who would believe.

ANCIENT questions about who God is were now answered at Calvary's cross.

DECISIONS by individual choice were clearer than arbitrary selections.

I Pledge allegiance to the flag;
Not unto the Kingdom;
Not unto the Theocracy;
Not unto the Dictatorship;
But of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

Unto the REPUBLIC for which it stands;
ONE Nation, not two or more; 
INDIVISIBLE, not split or torn apart;
UNDER God, not alongside, not above, not with, not without.
With liberty and justice;
not for most, not for some, not for a few;
But for ALL.

Premium MemberHappy Birthday America 2

Generally, 247 years is a long time;
but not so many years for a nation.
What is more intriguing about time
relative to you is the timeline of
your Constitution and your Ideals.

As I understand it, a Democratic
Republic, where the people rule through
representative government was indeed a
rarity 247 years ago. However, you, America,
achieved this feat.

For nearly two and half centuries, you, America,
have remained free from rulership by kings and
queens, dictators, and religion. One of the most
unique characteristics of your way of life is your
ability to be highly influenced by God and the
Bible while yet refusing to be a Theocracy.

Happy Birthday, America. May you ever remain
the land of the free and home of the brave.

One of your grateful and proud citizens.

Mediocracy
          Along the simple path we plod 

                       Bureaucracy
         With a maze of obstacles to trod

                         Autocracy
       Also trying to dodge the hit squads

                         Theocracy
      Steering clear, of banned lesser gods 

                         Plutocracy
     Ride on through, wielding big fat wads

                         Democracy 
  A minefield of all above, behind the facade

In a democracy, the leader aligns himself with the people
    In a theocracy, the leader aligns himself with God

  In a bureaucracy, the people fall in line behind the leader
    In an autocracy, the people are peas in a pod

Tears On Mother Liberty

Tears on Mother Liberty

Plutocracy the society they created through the Trump towers, now they regret it Like Iraq having no democracy.

Theocracy seems Like the answer for now, for evil has ruined what was once a great nation, Living all hopeless and faithless.
God bless America!

Down your tools, raise your fists and continue the dream of Martin Luther King bring shame to the fiend debilitating our society.

No more shooting, instead put the blame on Putin and realize BLACKLIVESMATTER.
We can't kill each other or else the assassination of John. F. Kennedy is not an abomination, recreation these kids seizing on opiates therefore we need purple rain through the Prince of peace.

The circus in the White House like  Clinton, soldier on like Hilary and let the heart of Obama infect us all with Love for one another whether you black, white, Latino or whatever we are America!

Premium MemberNeda's Death

Iran ousted the Shah's tyranny,
backing a Muslim theocracy.
And hate crushed any hope of freedom,
for fear, demonized democracy.

Now, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
touts faith with a political twist.
An old popinjay stuck in the past,
he rules the land with an iron fist.

Don't accept religious slavery,
shout "Allah O Akbar!" from your roof.
And never forget those who were killed;
executed for crimes without proof.

Moussavi wants to be President,
stoking rage in the youth of Iran.
Neda's death is his rallying cry,
calling for the rights of every man.

Marchers, led by courageous women,
helped turn a trickle into a flood.
And history will remember them
as martyrs, willing to spill their blood.

Governments

In ancient Greece, their world was a democracy.
Modern times have changed its face by hypocrisy,
occurring when man desired an autocracy,
and the power of a rich aristocracy.

The formation of a large, scale bureaucracy,
rid the people of their personal privacy.
Stealing the self is millennium piracy.
Human rights are in need of strong advocacy.

Once the nation, under God, a theocracy,
a world of leaders have made a neocracy,
a whole new set of rules to stop mobocracy.
Can we just live our lives without conspiracy?

1/12/17

democracy-a system of government by the whole population 
autocracy-government ruled by one man
theocracy-a form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler
neocracy- a new government
mobocracy- government ruled by the mob

Premium MemberTheocracy

The head, a divine messenger for human leadership
Holy scriptures with direct instructions stay as the constitution
Eradication of mixed opinions to keep the sheep completely homogeneous
Official orientation of any kind is void of different beliefs
Creed established and adhered to irrespective of the human right stand
Religion, the command, staff, seal and national identity
Administration under the lordship of some proclaimed unseen forces
Creating a political system tantamount to totalitarianism
Yielding to semi-molded exposure or even close mindedness of its citizens.

INDEPENDENCE


I have observed that America is a Democratic Republic with high values on the INDIVIDUAL 

We are 50 States, some of whose economies rival other countries; yet we are one NATION.

Yes, we have fought each other in a bloody war; yet we are one and shall not be DIVIDED.

As a nation, we set our goals and aim for the heights, flying and soaring like the EAGLE.

We are not about “He, the President or He the Potentate”, but all about “We The PEOPLE".

Our nation is not perfect, but at its core, “We Believe That All Men Are Created EQUAL".

We are blessed and prosperous; and as a people, we pause to give thanks every NOVEMBER.

So often, similarities make great people; but the strength of America is its DIFFERENCES.

Some of our rights are granted through government; there are others that are God ENDOWED.

We have One President, 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, and Supreme Court Justices are NINE.

Our country is a Republic and not a Theocracy; but most of our founding fathers believed in a CREATOR.

It has been said that America is great because we are good; may our goodness long ENDURE.

Intellectual War

Awaken in the midst of a war
Shaken by the catastrophe
Forsaken by the Lord
Sometimes it saddens me because we catch these bad dreams
These fractured philosophies
We are practicing immodesty
Judging demographies, is this autonomy, or a theocracy?
Tracking the rainbows path
Reached the pot of gold
And realized it was empty
This whole journey for what?
Sometimes it just gets me
We are trapped in the flesh
A head full of bad memories
A heart that's been over-stretched 
A soul that has been immortalized, you could easily forget, a credit line of 
neglect and disrespect
A spirit that has been tormented and drug through the woods
And left to die silently, no one can hear his cries, no one could see his 
good
No one understands him the way they should,
He has these wings on his back and he wishes he could
Extend them and wrap around the universe, 
And preserve this jewel

No Accounting For Taste

No accounting for 
taste
What you dislike
and called a waste
is what I like

You call 
cheese,honey
I called it bitter pill
You prefer a monkey
while chimp makes 
me chill

You like worshipping 
sun
I love worshipping 
God
It really fun
you called mine odd

I lived in tradition
You lived in 
modernity
But in addition
I lived in christianity

You urged me to 
study biology
I urged you to learn 
Shakespeare
You want me to live 
by astrology
Let poetry be your 
spear

You prefer winter
that is your choice
Mine is summer
when I'll rejoice

When you lay on 
your bunk,
you hear the 
music,rock
but I listen to punk
who should be given 
a sock?

You love a black lady
with long dark hair
I love a white baby
to be my heir

You desire 
democracy
as system of your 
government
I desire theocracy
it had the best 
management

Let us be a union
Let there be chaste
Let's tolerate each 
one's opinion
for no accounting 
for taste

The Great Havoc: Mahasen

The moment of my start , 
the destruction of thy art,
hearing the songs of theocracy ,
the songs for saving thee .

The intonation of deadly scream ,
heard across the vast stream ,
lest none had to stop me , 
for me to stop to see thy majestic beauty.

I heard the words of my master ,
who plans well for thy disaster ,
who creates the scenery well as common , 
serving a wide from the times of Romans .

He sends me often here ,
for punishing the big malevolence , 
but I never saw the wonders - for thy fear ,
for thy deep oceans help my tolerance .


I wish could I give thee a chance , 
to see the world with a second glance ,
nevertheless the order remains order after all ,
keep waiting for me to hear the next call .
