"electors" poems - Hello Poetry

The Great Debate started, Parliament was the open forest, electors were divided into two groups— Sir Fox's, and The Lion's, The first group wanted to overthrow the Lion from the sovereign head of the forest, It was a tough job to confront Lion directly, So, Sir Fox, appointed a Monkey as the Chief campaigner, and that monkey appointed other monkeys in the business, Scaring them with a story of vanishing trees, and living on the land increases the mortality rate if Lion Party continues. Monkey, the chief campaigner exclaimed, “We are not living in the rule of law but in the rule of Lion, All are equal, but the continuous target of a particular community, Like a beautiful deer, by another community in majority should be banned, Deers bring historic and aesthetic significance to the forest And need to be treated as the same,” Deers bellowed gleefully hearing this. Cows felt hurt, their exclusion from Monkey’s speech proved to be a setback to the Fox’s Party, Cows were the most targeted community by the Carnivores, everyone in the forest knew, Potential voters were lost to Lion’s Party. Polarising speeches of Chief continued, It brought Rhinoceros to its side, Seeing rhino in political rallies, Hippopotamus chipped in, To counter the increasing weight Political advisor of Lion, i.e, Tiger, persuaded Elephant to become an official member of their party. Hate speeches increased in numbers Giraffe, the bearer and upholder of law, Overlooked everything, the long neck looked tilted towards an ideology. Rumours became truth, truth became rumour Monkey was good in it, And an army of monkeys were excellent. Parrots, Pigeons, Peacock, **** Cuckoo, Cat, Loved the importance they got, Disseminated the Fox loving songs. The listeners felt threatened, They had an enemy living between them and they were considering them friends, They thanked the Parrot, Pigeon, Peacock for pointing them out. Now, biped hated quadruped, Quadruped hated reptiles, Reptiles did the same to amphibians, And in this way the whole animal kingdom danced in chaos, The fiery speeches of Sir Fox helped in creating illusion, The slogan of the Man as a common enemy was changed to, Feline as a common enemy, Felines joined Sir Fox’s Party, And Canines ran to Lion’s Party, Obvious was difficult to observe Obscure was easy to see. to be continued

The world, soon to be ending My darling don't cry The end, it's just the beginning As darkness fills the sky The war is here, but were blinded The fear soon to arise No one seems to mind it But It's not a surprise 13 species 13 skulls Collect the pieces Peace for all Thirteen skulls legend bound Thirteen skulls crystal crowned Thirteen skulls earthen drowned Thirteen skulls never found No one knows, the war is here But perhaps a few, the sight we saw We carry the burden of frightened fear One in a hundred, the torturous call Indigo and earth children have come to fight The warriors, of the protector Welcome the light of the divine It's our fault, the false electors Thirteen creatures Thirteen heavens Profound features The Chakra seven Thirteen skulls legend bound Thirteen skulls crystal crowned Thirteen skulls earthen drowned Thirteen skulls never found Communication all around Ring the bell, hear the sound The spirit grows, build the mound Meditate on lotus ground Thirteen skulls legend bound Thirteen skulls crystal crowned Thirteen skulls earthen drowned Thirteen skulls never found 13 species 13 skulls Collect the pieces Peace for all Thirteen creatures Thirteen heavens Profound features The Chakra seven Thirteen skulls legend bound Thirteen skulls crystal crowned Thirteen skulls earthen drowned Thirteen skulls never found Thirteen skulls, crystal skulls The thirteen skulls finally found The world will lay safe and sound Thirteen skulls, peace for all Thirteen skulls, peace for all

To polling stations Going out in droves, With their unanimous voice, Electors made clear their choice- “A breath of fresh air Would be fair! ” But as a democracy patrons Also democracy vendors, You thought- “Better an old Satan Than an angel new born, The heart of a new angel, We may not crack open!” As peace brokers, To dissuade voters You dinned into their ears, “Democracy is a process! Thus it entails The gradual unfolding of rights! Specially in developing nations, It is tardy in striking roots!” You also went to say “The ill-favoured government , Though by ballot card made out of play And adamant to let power away, A midwife to self-determination Had paved the way For the fairness you enjoy today. Imagine the price it had to pay!” Tirelessly you pleaded voters To see reasons And give the government A time-out and stalemate, Also to let it take part In a joint government! The hardest way What people learnt today Is democracy is indeed a process That could suffer setbacks, Or experience a lapse And down clutters A tyranny abyss! Double dealers Now as a democracy undertaker You venture to offer A hearse, What a farce! As history Recorded it in its annals Go ahead fish in troubled water, By your very nature You are capable To do nothing better!

What a Farce

To polling stations Going out in droves, With their unanimous voice, Electors made clear their choice- “A breath of fresh air Would be fair! ” But as a democracy patrons Also democracy vendors, You thought- “Better an old Satan Than an angel new born, The heart of a new angel, We may not crack open!” As peace brokers, To dissuade voters You dinned into their ears, “Democracy is a process! Thus it entails The gradual unfolding of rights! Specially in developing nations, It is tardy in striking roots!” You also went to say “The ill-favoured government , Though by ballot card made out of play And adamant to let power away, A midwife to self-determination Had paved the way For the fairness you enjoy today. Imagine the price it had to pay!” Tirelessly you pleaded voters To see reasons And give the government A time-out and stalemate, Also to let it take part In a joint government! The hardest way What people learnt today Is democracy is indeed a process That could suffer setbacks, Or experience a lapse And down clutters A tyranny abyss! Double dealers Now as a democracy undertaker You venture to offer A hearse, What a farce! As history Recorded it in its annals Go ahead fish in troubled water, By your very nature You are capable To do nothing better!

We all could have equal rights If the world would only grant them. We could all sing a brand-new A truly joyous national anthem. We could sing about at last The words of the Constitution Finally will match with reality Without another revolution. This is the tale of the autocrats And how they got badly out of hand. They decided they knew more about Things they could never understand. They decided they knew better than The people with proper education. So they elected their supporters to Lay waste to their own fine nation. This is a morality tale about greed And what it can do to men’s minds; That turns them to skulduggery And makes them act as if they’re blind To reason, decency and even honor Taking advantage of the weakest Who then grow weaker by the hour. As many times in history, they promise A shopping list of impossible dreams And the weak think they’ll come true, Say reality is not quite what it seems. They think by listening to carpetbaggers They will all get rich and supported By each elected lying son of a ***** But those dreams are soon aborted. For a while they believe the woes Are made by their predecessors. They’l blame the losers, the gays The blacks and finally the electors. They won’t question themselves About the choices they all made. By then the path of doom and death Will be almost permanently laid.

i'm always ashamed because i'm doing live editing, and because of live editing, i can never really appreciate my work, as if it was stored in a cabinet drawer, unseen and unread by a curious passer-by, this live editing fuels a feeling of shame... but it also fuels: iftaḥ yā simsim (open sesame)! the success of u.s.e. (united states of europe homogenised into a monochromatic use of the english tongue) will be built upon the failures u.s.a. and the failure to feel guilt for Hiroshima & Nagasaki like the implemented guilt the Germans are fed with Auschwitz... we have a cold war to stage the actor's stage fright in raising up a hand and a cold hearted democratic ink blotch of the testifying index finger that meddled in the shuffling-chess affairs of electors and parliaments; it's not that relative things matter (only einstein could have pulled that off somehow giving us ripples of vacuum when space and time collided without poetic agreement about fluctuated nostalgia of expression), we're all abhorrent of moral relativism, but not taking blame for the two neutron bombs makes me a bit sceptical about where this train is going: it's hardly Zion, but certainly the fenced in Israel.
