Post your own/your favourite radical socialist poetry ITT. Here's mine:

With our legion hammers
With our many scythes
With our unleashed genders
With our human rights

Our fists are the colours of the rainbow
Yet we strike the orange husk
Our spirits raise us higher than the low
Yet we fight against Elon Musk

For we are the children of Mandela
For we are the children of Geronimo
We are the disabled queers in the favela
We are the trans blacks in your music videos

You have taken the sweat of our labour
You have taken our children's HRT
Genocidal whites are not my saviour
The future is the Democrat party

George Floyd, can you hear me?
We still ain't breathing
Black lives matter, really
So join me in kneeling

Here's some I have been working on for a long time, coomerade. I hope you like it.

Long have we worked and died,
And long the pigs survive,
But this shall be our pride:
For retards we shall strive.

Long have we fought and bled,
And long the fascists thrive,
But this shall long be said:
For trannies we shall strive.

Long have we failed and lost,
And hard the bourgeois drive,
But we shall pay this cost:
For niggers we shall strive.

Soon will we lose and die,
And soon the Reich arrive,
But this shall be our cry:
For shylocks we shall strive.
>>
>>25625805
This will definitely change the world, Comrade. After sitting and meditating a bit I decided to write mine own poem.

Remember Floyd, whose final breath
Still calls the world to fight injustice and death.
Black Lives Matter—hear the cry,
No more shall human dignity die.

For disabled queers in favelas below,
For every gender the world won't know,
For LGBTQ+, let freedom ring,
No human life is worth less than a king.

While Musk builds empires in the sky,
And Trump sells hatred with every lie,
We build the world with hand and heart,
The workers' world, where all have part.

No billionaire shall own our bread,
No tyrant rule above our head.
The land, the labor, the wealth we make—
The people's future is ours to take.

No gods of gold, no masters' throne,
No human being stands alone.
From every nation, every shore:
WORKERS OF THE WORLD—RISE EVERMORE!

I'm not a communist nor a leftist , but I wanted to post my most recent poem. Please give me attention.

Reflecting on past deeds trying to find sense
Mulled over painful missed opportunities of love
Smoking on weed to forget my laments
Yet hold hateful, misty tears of misery and blood

I disagree with god. I don't deserve to feel this dark.
Sins I've committed I can somehow still depart.
Yet I feel hexed like I'm not allowed to live
You don't forgive, you think I'm just a creepy old shark.

Villain or hero? I can't decide anymore.
Heartbeat's zero. But my tears still pour.
Opportunities nulled, yet trying in vain.
The beauties ignore, they hope I get slain.

I've been a bad boy, oh yes I have.
I've been a sad toy, to these vicious gods.
No dad to bring joy, but my funny flaws
I'm tired so I'll destroy, what zero cunny caused

The waters rush with an eerie sound,
The waves are swirling round and round.
They seem to feel no pain at all,
As they break and fall,
Cold of heart, cold of mind,
Rushing, rushing all the time.

Can you make this more explicitly about the class/racial/sexual/gender struggle, cumrade?

one i quite like by Langston Hughes:

Lenin walks around the world.
Frontiers cannot bar him.
Neither barracks nor barricades impede.
Nor does barbed wire scar him.

Lenin walks around the world.
Black, brown, and white receive him.
Language is no barrier.
The strangest tongues believe him.

Lenin walks around the world.
The sun sets like a scar.
Between the darkness and the dawn
There rises a red star.
>>
>>25626487
Powerful, but Lenin was a masquerading state-capitalist traitor.
>>
Here I have a poem for you communists:

Communists hearts are red
My ice for them is blue
Leninist heads I tear
Dice and condemn them like the jews

The reds are retarded gays
Marxist faggots are delusional
I'm purebred to disregard their hate
Capitalist swagger is evolutional

They think they'll be artists in their commune
But they'll be coal miners without cartoons
They think they'll be martyrs with their statues
But you'll always be faggots with dad issues

Make way for a real poet, comrades

We push on and act on
Our responsibility to bring visibility
To the most vulnerable:
To bring freedom to those who didn’t have a choice,
To bring volume to those who are using their voice.
We clear a woman’s way,
We don’t fear the day
She steps into the light
Because we are with her
Every step of the fight.

Idris Davies’s ‘The Angry Summer: a poem of 1926’.

One of the most prominent supporters of the poet’s work is Lord Neil Kinnock, former leader of the Labour Party. He tells how he would give world leaders he met a copy of Idris Davies’s collected poems. Kinnock wanted them, he says, “to learn about resilience and hope, courage and cynicism, fun and ferocious values in the way that the man from Rhymney taught of these things.”
-Lord Neil Kinnock on Idris Davies

Lord Kinnock reflects:
>’The Angry Summer’ is a marvellous, epic mixture of poetry ranging from fierce rage to lyrical soothing, with irony, nobility, cowardice and humour probing and exposing in between. The personal pain that 1926 inflicted was remembered by millions, including my collier, father, nineteen at the time, and four of his brothers. They worked and fought to ensure that the conditions which caused and followed it never returned. The best memorial that later generations could therefore have offered to 1926 was that the gradual progress after 1945 was perpetual. Instead, acceptance of poverty, fear, impotence, inequality, ignorance and exploitation began to seep back in again and are with us now. They always will be unless people show the stubborn collective valour of 1926 and use the power of determined democracy to eradicate their miserable dominion and emancipate every individual. Idris would like that.

‘The Angry Summer’ was written after the event and published by T. S, Eliot through Faber and Faber in 1943. The fifty sections are not uniform but vary in form, structure and length. They can therefore be considered a collection of poems although Idris Davis describes them in the singular as ‘a poem of 1926’. The opening section begins in hope and expectation, a common sentiment at the onset of the strike:

>Now it is May in the minds of men,
>Days for vision and for marching,
>Days for banners and for music,
>And beauty born of sacrifice.

There is an echo here of W. B. Yeats great poem of the Irish uprising, ‘Easter, 1916’, with its piercing repeated line: ‘A terrible beauty is born.’ Davies was a great admirer of Yeats, his ‘hero’ he said, and wrote about him in poetry and prose. However, ‘The Angry Summer’ also ends, after the seeming failure of the General Strike, with a sense of hope:

>But the battle’s end is not defeat
>To that dream that divided the broken feet
>And roused to beauty and to pride
>Toiler and toiler, side by side,
>Whose faith and courage shall be told
>In blaze of scarlet and of gold.

Oil Music by Kurt Weill (long time collaborator with Brecht)

The elderly woman has a vast estate where she strolls and collects shells on the beach. One day she finds oil so her ungrateful children sell the entire place off to Shell - the oil company- and destroy the entire estate.

thanks for an actual post and not cringe 12 year old memes

Behold
I'm redder than a rose
Nothing will stop
My communist goals
I am nelson Mandela
I am chairman mao
I am George Floyd
I make fascists bow
Down
Because they are all clowns
Kissing the ground
Below those with dollars yen and pounds
Now
Listen to these poetic sounds
I will turn you into a flower
Ascending from the ground
You ferocious fascist beast
Of a hound
