Politics Poems
Load shedding in south Africa
by Robert Rittel
When ignorance and mediocrity is on display,
fancy title and salaries become proof thereby.
The incompetence to deliver is the destruction,
implementation without visions is a foolish attraction.
What makes it very clear, when too many idiots pulling the plug,
the ship will sink, regardless the excuses by this pathetic flog.
Leadership has to proof itself by sincere integrity,
or democratic politics become anarchistic misery.
The chances are that everybody stops paying the electric bill,
and those self elected wasters running for the hill.

Power Play
by Nosheen Irfan
Break them
Shake them
Shatter them
Shackle them
Wipe out your opponent
Eliminate dissent
If they don't obey
They shall be disqualified
For in this game
There are no rules

Nigeria
by Samson Oloto
Bombs and barbarisms
Deaths and diseases
Frauds and falsehoods
Bans and nepotisms
They take your livelihood
And steal all your money
They ban your comfort
We shout for a week or two
And then revert to status quo
Dark Comedy
by Nosheen Irfan
Buy media
Control narrative
Kill dissent
Incarcerate courage
And the masses
They never meant anything anyway
In the rotten scheme of things
The dictators hide behind democracy
The democrats are puppets pulled by strings
The creators of problems believe

Watch me in action until he departs - in Trump's words
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
The more I think the more I'm sure
The odds were stacked as all can see,
The Media's rotten to the core
At least on that we should agree.
But two years on what do you think,
Did sleepy Joe succeed or fail,
I hear so many took to drink
Watching the saga of Dither and Flail.

Watching them cringe - in Trump's own words
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
Assailed, maligned, hounded and betrayed
And all for why, simply for the game I played,
My aim to win but of course the lefties don't agree,
Their views alone are all they ever want to see.
Control and power their only final goal,
That's why I say it was they that really stole
All those elections across our glorious land,
They and the Media, such a sordid little band.

Are we too late - America's plight
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
How did we get to where we are,
America - the one undimming shining star,
A land of freedom, of unbounded pride
Where no one needed run and hide
For their religion or mere thought,
Democracy - the very heart of what was taught.
Now the Media drums a beat
That too many rush to heed,
Politicians seem at war

Climate Activists
by Ian McCleary
When Climate Activists defaced Van Gogh paintings, I was wishing it were artists who were the masterminds behind it in protest of the Museums.
I was hoping that a group of enlightened artists would band together and take back the statues and artifacts of ancient antiquity
Sending them to their rightful owners. The poet
Byron would have fought to keep these World Treasures where they belonged.
The Elgin Marbles as they were called belonged to the Greeks and not to the British Empire.
This is what I would have preferred to have seen, then the fracas created by the disciples of Greta.
