Can you post your political views in the form of a rhyming poem?
- Please keep it civil
- Lets try to keep AI generated stuff to a minimum
- If you want to reply to a comment please also make ot rhyme.
Everything always get so serious. Thought this could be a fun experiment to discuss a serious issue in a non-serious way.
To me the right has become mostly a meme
Blocking political process is now the main theme
The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right
Gerrymandering going on day and night
Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders
He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders
Upvoted for Bernie Sanders
Why would you waste an upvote on someone who won't win, when you can upvote the least worst candidate that could?
/s just in case
Nazis are back and the climate is spent.
I'd love to step up, but I gotta pay rent.
The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror
or maybe
The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation
or maybe
One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc
All I see is a major shitshow
I can't keep up with all the garbage they throw
None of our problems ever get fixed
Because we can't even agree they exist!
The future's in the hands of those who won't live to see it
The house is burning down but they won't believe it
Everything's fucked, it's all just a mess
I suppose I'll just vote for who hates minorities less
Capitalism has become such a bore Wish waged labor existed no more I’d rather pay taxes Take billionaires assets And distribute some wealth to the poor
Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.
The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn't be sourced from meat.
Newlines are real tough.
Two spaces and the end make it rough.
Hit enter twice
For space extra nice.
Banana.
Healthcare is a universal right Let’s start with that then move on to the next fight
Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52
The picture is crooked by just enough
That you'd need a level to tell.
Every adjustment skews it a little bit more
This is starting to feel just like hell.
If it's low on the left, now it's high on the right,
Or it could be the other way around.
If we can't seem to find a way to agree,
Maybe the piece should just come down.
But we like it's aesthetic, that much is a fact,
Though we can't really explain why.
One thing is for certain, we want it displayed,
We just both feel it has fallen awry.
So I'll push, and you'll pull, and we'll stand back and sneer
At the other's well-meant intentions
As it goes from one extreme to the next
While neither of us pays much attention,
To the fact that the picture itself is what really matters,
Not how it sits on a line.
The whole Earth is slanted on its own axis,
And even beauty is crooked sometimes.
I always watch sadly
Those giving their vote
To people who'd gladly
Cut open their throat.
They follow their hate,
They don't spot the lies.
Rich man owns the state,Rich man's gaining weight,
The poor one just dies.
Edit: changed a line
The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don't you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property's inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)
Everything is fucked and burning,
Yet the wheels of greed keep turning,
Big wigs buy their thirteenth yacht,
While 'twixt twelve we share a hut,
This just leaves me with one thing:
"Chop, chop" goes the guillotine.
People dislike the present
Yet always vote Blue or Red
I only vote independent
And people still blame me for who led
Like tectonic plates, growing apart
With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part
The legislature doesn’t really care about me
They get there money and healthcare for free
Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization
Not just the US, but almost every nation
War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling
Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling
Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?
Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
Hypocrisy is rampant, my last nerves are plucked.
Both parties with grifters. Our system is fucked.
Mentalities of greed: I got mine, fuck you.
Just toxic words, the politicians spew.
No true efforts in fixing our country,
Their only interests are control and money.
Our country is in deep need of healing,
Putting out the emotional flames we are feeling.
Hoping the people can come together,
To make our future brighter and better.
I originally wrote this for !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works but it works pretty good for me too:
NATO Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
NATO Astronaut 2: Nope.
Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to...
Astronaut 2: Break into a song?
Astronaut 1: Yep.
I love the trenches,
I love the roadside mines,
I love blown bridges,
I love when turrets fly.
I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds.
Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)
I love my plane-fus,
I love nuke submarines,
I love logistics,
I love democracy!
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)
I love dictators
(I like to watch em hang)
I love Three Gorges
I love when things go bang!
I love the whole world
It's such a brilliant place
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (repeating until fade)

Slavery is real, racism is too
But look outside America, you'll see it times 2
I yearn to be free
To plant a tall tree
Or maybe five or fifty
A greener world would be nifty
/
Power corrupts
So why should we bother
With coups so abrupt
And Dictator Father?
/
Yet democracy still
Gives me a chill
Tyranny of the masses
Why the rose colored glasses?
/
Corporate greed
Is not immune
From society's bleed
Into authoritarian noon
/
So what, then? A king?
Or anarchy's kiss?
How do we give up the bling?
Live a life full of bliss?
/
The truth lies inside
The life we observe
Is the one that we chose
And thus, what we deserve
/
If we want to be free
Change from a few's not enough
Not just a million and three
But collectively, all of us
There are so many politics issues
That I would be here all day
So if you want to know what mine are
Treat this comment as an AMA
I wonder what you think
Of the old orange dink
Or maybe of the wealth
That is burning the earth in stealth?
My questions may be loaded
And my Rhymes are kind of bloated
Donald Trump may have tried his best
But I wouldn't call his reign good
No president for a while withstood the test
They had not been as they should
Since the 2000's I've been around
But they've all been meh to me
He's no different I have found
And that's fine, it's a fact of life you see
Tolerating their presence I can do
Sitting through it isn't a big deal
It's not like they affect me or you
Presidents are sitting ducks, let's be real
As for the wealth issue you speak of
Capitalism should add a few rules
Otherwise if push does come to shove
If we do nothing we would be fools
Ever since I have been married with kids
My days are too short for me to give a shit
I am a citizen of neither here or there Don’t really belong anywhere
Don’t support any party It seems foolhardy
I believe in a man who rose from the dead So I waste my life for that instead
Roses are red
Landlords are poo
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry
There was a young man from Bluff,
Who quite frankly had enough.
Feeling sick through,
With with interchangable red/blue.
With research in hand,
And policy that's not bland.
This time with great zeal,
This time I'll vote the colour teal.
If you wish create a good society, It cannot be run by the bourgeoisie. Nor can be trusted a Stalin or Mao Who call all their genocides justice somehow.
I don't really care
where the money go
even though you've said
that I should have known.
I'm interested in
mechanism of vote
it's my nerdy thing
just let me enjoy't.
Let's use Condorcet,
not FPTP,
even two-round set
is pretty shitty.
'lectoral treshold
I want it to cease
so that we could vote
for minor parties.
Last year you could see
it has real effect
I would be happier
without this deffect.
Amidst a tapestry of hopes and dreams, Where human welfare's more than it seems, Views intertwine, a chorus of care, For freedoms cherished, we stand aware.
Union's strength empowers the throng, In solidarity, we all belong, Fascism's shadow we firmly reject, For liberty's flame, we protect.
Capital's grasp, we dare to defy, Corporate greed, to the wind we'll let fly, Oligarchs and the 1% fade from might, Inequality's chains, we aim to unbind.
Eyes cast beyond, where spying's unveiled, Privacy's sanctuary, ever hailed, A symphony rises, the people unite, For a world of justice, we strive for the light.
Down with states and stature
Strive instead to ready
Through direct radical action
Root changes grow fruitful
Refreshed from old ashes
Our society rises
We sow personal power
To free all the people
