Unpopular Poems


Premium MemberSome People - Unpopular In Stature -

Some people – unpopular in stature – 
   Slip away into death unnoticed 
Softer than a falling feather
   That little earns a second glance

But the good deeds of their lives
   Grow – recount a love that’s long
And with increasing strength – strive 
   To tell of hope that spans a marathon. 

Others are taken with a shout 
   Heard far across the air waves – 
Ushered by those in the crowd
   To a biography and grand raves

And some die amid great efforts – 
   Succumbing to an evil deed –
And leave a hole as big as their hearts – 
   Hindsight is the mystery. 

Still others leave unknown;
   Their time becomes a strange gap
That hides behind a name
   Clinging to a simple lithograph.

Unpopular Questions Number 4: Hitler

"Mein Kampf" held the clue for you and Europe
You hoped Hitler would destroy Soviet Russia, then itself

Game Theory, realpolitik, so-called political scientists say, "realism"
O how many ways we refused to help Jews - US refused refugees till 1941!
Don't hate me: these are facts of history. All Gandhi & King ask: change!

NOTE: By 1939 Mein Kampf sold over 5.2 million copies and was translated into 11 languages. Think again if you assume some of these languages were Arabic and Zulu, Sanskrit and Chinese. Hitler was in prison in 1925 for attempted putsch against the government in Bavaria, but served 9 months of his 5 year term, during which he began dictating Mein Kamof to Rudolph Hess, fellow "nazi."

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!

Hope In Asking Unpopular Questions

 Unasked questions hide truths from you
Asking them offers hope
Why did the East long shun Europe
Until post - '92 [1492]

Unpopular


It wasn’t her looks
which made her so unappealing
No, ma’am ... 
that girl is a certified cutie pie

It wasn’t her demure charm
that caused man-child rebel teens
to sissy shy away
No, sir ... that young, yet-to-be 
buxom woman,
cocooned in a size 5 butterfly body,
is so Spanish Harlem Rose   beautiful ... 
Eyes don’t lie, so says 
this fanboy fella:  Ah- ooh ah
She’s gonna honey bee
a statuesque,         
                regal queen Latifah

According to my secret admirer,
local enquirer text send ...
why
is she so unpopular then?

Perhaps, it’s because
she refuse to let herself be deflowered
and degraded,
by silly boyz-to-men

That’s the type of Zulu woman,
me low-popularity humble soul want
as my better-half best friend

Hey popular girl I wish I had a 
bunch of fake friends like you! 
I wish I had your pretty

Hey Popular boy with your

Fancy kicks! With your shiny 
car and your pocket full of
