This is the 21st Century
Where it seems the masses
Are still placed on this Earth
To serve the upper classes,
Feed their acquisitive appetites
Wipe their delicate arses,
And all in all perpetuate
That longest of running farces,
Respect for so called betters,
Eating crumbs from their table
Serving with dedication
For as long as they are able
Until comes that day
They can no longer try
Then have the decency
To just crawl off and die.
Its the same the world over
Every where you can go
The system is dedicated
To maintain the status quo
Is god still in his heaven?
Will we all get an entry pass
So we can continue serving
That heavenly upper class.
Cultural ownership,
disproportionately lavished upon kings,
the occasional ecopolitical queen,
white male Republican Senators,
elite corporate CEOs
overdriving inside monocultural management
feeding consumer acquisitive appetites
Leads to cultural entitlement
Elitely leads to cultural appropriation,
where I win appropriate proportions
at your loser disproportionate misfortune,
And,
sometimes to multicultural creolization,
where everyone wins Golden Rules
co-arisingly together.
Acquisitive anguish arising within my acceptant abyss
The creatures that lurk within the deep
Are without hope and sustenance
I awake aimlessly with thoughts that have gone awry
Every nuance of my being accumulating auspicious hell
For amidst the atrocious abdominous appetites
I linger in a lachrymal graveyard levitating leviathans
Craving for more absolutistic ambient assuage
Adoring and absorbing your aesthetic appetency
Accepting your allure of ambitious alienation
And yet I absolve you from all your atrocities.

Certain Summers remain uppercase,
all blue, heat and breakneck. We daughters of the season,
off-key in synchronicity, played out
the inborn cool of our age..
You and I came up through a flowery, fulsome time
that thought highly of itself, all laissez-faire but
as acquisitive as any generation.
I meant to never go away. 'Course, there I went,
since that's the sway life has on youth.
You decamped with the first man of your
dreams. I doubted us, for a time, and fear is so often
posture, worthy or not of passing on.
Now we watch other sisters, for them summer blazes
a cheap high. They're all exclamation points, blistering style,
indifferent to rebel decades -
in the wake of us -
Peel the refinement and what have you got
A human being who's still an animal at heart
They will not admit they share an animal's nature
It won't happen..…they believe they're a different creature
They've lost their fur, their claws, their teeth
That's superficiality, they're still animals underneath
But they steal the fur from animals too
And not just any fur is going to do
So they lock these creatures in small cramped cages
And strip their skin off as they've done for ages
But acquisitive greed might take a turn for the worse
When wanderers from space look on humans as a main course
MATHEMATICS
Most Momentous Majestic Monitor
Anytime Affirmative analyzing accuracy
Top Trainer tuning treating talent
Humdinger Hero having highest honor
Excellent Explorer explaining efficiently
Marvelous Methodical Mind Mender
Acquisitive Analytic approaching applying accuracy
Terrific Teacher thinking tutoring tactfully
Ideal Instructor initiating intense intelligence
Capable Cultivator countering correcting chaos
Sagacious Systematic Scientific Searcher sorting solution

Each second slips away seamlessly,
Yet if only in this moment,
Contemplating like an allegro within my mind,
Always inquiring and acquisitive for answers,
Nothing ever manifests to be within reach,
Knowing my only certainty is this confusion,
Always tossing away my freedom’s,
Understanding nonexistence seems my reality.
Each second slips away seamlessly,
Yet if only in this moment,
Eyes open gazing, glancing forever seeking,
Focus completely blurred all reactions lost,
Whichever direction I look never matters,
Blinking as if to make sure it’s tangible,
Awake but never feeling truly awoken,
Blindness sometimes my only true desire.
Each second slips away seamlessly,
Yet if only in this moment,
My mouth agape screaming, yelling,
Continuing but never knowing if heard,
Lips moving vicariously with each expression,
Posturing with each as if an exclamation,
Painfully yearning to be fully understood,
Loneliness and being forgotten the true void.
B beutiful, bouncy, all boy
R rowdy, remarkable, restless
A adoreable, acquisitive, active
N natorious, nice, naughty
D demanding, dreamy, daredevil
O optimistic, open minded, ongoing
N nosey, nourishing, needed
Perfect darken complextion
Chocolate colored eyes and hair
Always a sunshine smile
In everyone's heart hes there.
Out on constant journey's
having not a single care,
Spreading your joyness around
With each new task you dare.
Oh how handsome you are
In a blink of an eye your a man,
New adventure's to seek
I'll try not to cry but undstand.
