Thank you for sharing. I'm drafting up a blog post on political poems and this very well will make a mention.
I am looking forward to your blog. Perhaps it's ok with flag to talk about political poems here. I'm linking a very powerful political poem by Ken Sara-Wiwa. He was murdered by the Nigerian government for activism against the oil development that was destroying the lands of his tribe. It's called "The True Prison". I mentioned it when you asked the community "What poems are on your wall?" almost 100,000 posts ago.

The poem isn't explicitly political, but check out ZenPencils's fantastic rendering of Invictus too.
