They have found their place,
In offices, administrations, companies,
Now they are proud, beautiful, radiant,
God keep us safe, they are brilliant,
If they can leave me alone,
The circle will be complete; I would not have to fight anymore,
They will continue to shine, to be beautiful,
Whatever they want,
I wouldn’t meet them again,
I prefer to listen to the song of the blackbird.
NB : the last verse is a phrase in a lied by Berlioz
I was a teacher in a previous life, and had to fight hard with these people, i was in the wrong place, at the wrong moment
First Black American Secretary of State, COLIN POWELL, (1937-2021)
Served in the G. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter administrations,
He said, “Success is the result of hard work…and learning from failure,”
His hobby was restoring old cars; hardly knew the meaning of vacations.

Some poets, are an island lost at sea
Another day goes by, and still no P.O.T.D.
Other poets, their faces
Their faces are everywhere
Other poets, feel left out
They fall into despair
I'll send an S.O.S. to the soup
I'll send an S.O.S. to the soup
I hope administration gets my
I hope administration gets my
I hope administration gets my message for some poets
We want our P.O.T.D's too
We want our P.O.T.D's too
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Sometimes it's not so easy
Sometimes I just don't get
Sometimes it's not so easy...to be administrations pet
I'll send an S.O.S. to the soup
I'll send an S.O.S. to the soup
I hope administration gets my
I hope administration gets my
I hope administration get my message for some poets
We want our P.O.T.D.'s too
We want our P.O.T.D.'s too
We want our P.O.T.D.'s too
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
Just Ice or Justice, one is a block of water created by frozen particles and imperfections
The other is a block of truth seeking qualities to bring moral righteousness and administrations
Long ago, you would take off your hat to the Judge, In the hope that he would show leniency
For if he did it to you in twentieth century Britain, it was the sign for the death penalty
Hang him high and may the Lord be with him, his Honour said
Then they took him down to the gallows, they hung him until he was dead
Justice and Just Ice, they are similar, hard and bold
Ask the man with the noose around his neck, they are both very, very cold
Exposure to what is best
administrations ministry be
execution tactics
A story must come
From the heart
And must be carried
In both hands
Cupped like sacred egg
In the hands of a priestess.
This is my brother
A rare outpour of truth
I can carry his story
In my hands
Or pour it on your page.
A painter could have it
On a canvass;
It could be sculpted
But it must come
From the heart.
The story of my own brother
Who was crushed by a polity
That cared not for children;
Whose child heart
Was blasted away
By conscienceless administrations.
That had eaten up
The children’s future
A story must come
From the heart.
His smile could
Light up the night sky
A smile that made
Innocence envious
And little children
How they flock by him
This is my brother.
But his name changed
And the authorities will
Be kept really busy.
This story must come
From your heart.
when the “dignitary,”
the president or the lesser puppet
stands down from their post
to “write” their book &
blab on the lecture circuit,
those who remember the bloodshed
of which their administrations
were responsible
make their way to the front
to grab the mic & point the finger
at the figurehead of
atrocity,
the button pushing, torturous
unfeeling robots,
who continue to lead our world
into
catastrophe---
these war criminals will not be
exemplified at another
Nuremberg,
for there will never be another---
s/he gains immunity from the
world’s ability to imprison them &
keep them from profiting after
they leave their post,
by the shaking of the bloody & dirty
hands
of their crony counterparts,
those co-conspirators
in the quest to keep elite order
as the rest of us fester---
but when one sees them in public,
when one speaks up against them,
the words flowing from your mouth
will be caught on all the phone video
cameras
in the audience &
their slimy reactions will also be seen,
then being broadcasted on the net---
so keep up the good work!
your finger pointed in disgust inspires
the rest of us!
Abdul abjects about abominable aberrations and abominations about adulation.
Adulation, adoration and add adulteration as an aberration of approbation.
All Abdul's articulations about administrations admiration’s and amalgamation
and accumulation as an alleviation and annexation about Abdul's alienation.

Today’s students strive only to meet expectations
We used to go all out to exceed expectations
Young people have no real goals, just vague destinations
Their minds seem to be set on low-level vibrations
Our young people seem to lack worthy aspirations
Discouraged teachers are left with exasperation
With weapons in schools they must avoid confrontations
And keep a close eye on escape route locations
These kids can’t even hold meaningful conversations
Or do the simplest mathematic calculations
Their free time is spent in video game fixations
A "C" or a "D" harvests little indignation
Teachers get no support from school administrations
Even when students fail final examinations
These unmotivated kids have few variations
They only want to slide by and meet expectations
One day these children will be running corporations
Or choosing how governments make appropriations
It’s frightening when you consider the implications
For our world's future, I have angst-filled expectations
