For accomplished poetic expressions of deep political observations, see Peter Dale Scott's Seculum trilogy: Coming to Jakarta: A Poem About Terror (1989), Listening to the Candle: A Poem on Impulse (1992), and Minding the Darkness: A Poem for the Year 2000, and Crossing Borders: Selected Shorter Poems.
Agreed, Charles.
