Tony Harrison has died. His poem 'V.' is a masterpiece of political poetry. It's a stark elegy set in a vandalised Leeds graveyard, where graffiti sparks a fierce dialogue on class and division. Its raw language is not obscene, but essential—a cry of shared anger that remains powerfully urgent.
The Sun King’s Summit erupts in gold and gas, but the tavern knows what’s true. 🍻✨ Laughter & wit triumph over pomp in this bardic tale from the Dreamspace. #Satire #BardicTales #PoliticalPoetry #DreamspaceDispatch #CurrentEvents
🕯️ Eulogy for a Mayor (Eric Adams)
A farewell to vibes, rats, and the Empire City’s most unserious leader:
We gather not to praise the man,
but to return the city he borrowed
and forgot to sign back in.
He wore Armani like a badge
and spoke of rats like prophets do plagues.
He danced in nightclubs
while the shelters burned.
He tweeted vibes,
while rent raised the dead.

What do you build when your power is made of ego and sand?
A broken land. A failed crown. And a prophecy rising from the shards.
The Throne Was Made of Sand is a poetic reckoning in shattered rhyme.
We remember. We resist. The tide is turning. #poetry #politicalpoetry #resist #creativeprotest #truth

Some poems whisper. Some scream.
Published in 2017, Tantrums and Tempests was born from frustration—watching hard-won rights threatened, seeing injustice ignored. Poetry is power, and this collection is my call to action.
When the leopard
Wants to lick your face
Past forgiveness

S.U.V. motorcade
to Trump-branded airplane
to S.U.V. motorcade
to Trump Hotel and Tower ...
next, he's fingerprinted and charged

flanked by his lawyers
the silent old man looks
small ... and smaller
