Political Poems
Flag Bearer *Political- potentially triggering*
by Sapper Morton
America, the land of silent classrooms,
where freedom takes aim in open hallways.
They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend,
but when she strides in with stars in her eyes,
her trauma buried beneath her skin,
and blood staining the black leather of her boots,
who does she fight for now?
I raise my hand high, trembling,

take what you want and own who you can
but make sure to reel them in before they're a man
make up excuses to spend all our funds
then hide behind your desks and wait for the guns
but lie to us all, everything's alright
just as long as you can sleep at night
make sure to look pretty and put on your mask
divert us away from the questions we ask
stand on your stage and welcome your fans
just make sure you see the camera before you shake hands

Untitled
by Sher Shah Suri
We are bequeathed on the nation,
And the nation bequeathed to us.
Have pride they said,
For it is the only one in the universe.
Culture! Culture! Cried the painter,
Oldest of the old.
A single stroke, a blazing hue,
He drew as he was told.

Change the World - Change it Right
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
Why oh why have we become so woke
To the point of companies going near broke,

Empowering voices that just believe in denigration.

Messages from Witnesses
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Witnesses abound, like hidden treasures under
The earth —and like common vices upon the
Face of the earth, contorted with the hammer-stare
Of frozen shafts of light descending fast on a
Warmless street.
Good and bad are linked with the chain-graft
Of our wobbling times —a stinking, old robe
Turned inside-out.
The smell of stale beer creases the raised brows.
Witnesses grieve ceaselessly.

Yet another Politician
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
Why do politicians lie
And our wallets deftly pry,
Puff and bluster all the time
Their intent to cheat sublime.
Are we dumb or just naive
Of that talent to deceive,
Smiles aplenty to go round
While broken promises abound.
