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

(This poetic form is dróttkvætt which has internal half rhyme on odd lines and internal full rhymes on even lines)

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

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.

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

fucking no!!!

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.

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.

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

Slavery is real, racism is too

But look outside America, you’ll see it times 2

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

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)

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

Roses are red Violets are blue The worlds gonna end Before I turn 52
