Affairs Poems

451st Civil Affairs Battalion

Permission for draft of requisition order
Civil war family heir
Destroyer class reconstructionism
Turn liberty up a notch for the western fleet
Fussy bonnet held us high

A destroyer class vessel is surplus
Afforded the documentation of drafting
Her pardon
Is not a priority 
Abandon requires address


The 451 st Civil Affairs Battalion 

The adjustment of languaging a building.
I come from this to you,

Once again, for a second time in recent history, we're
    Living through a master class of deception and fraud.
Where the powerful usurp their greed and influence,
    While underneath an umbrella of a distant God.

We're all witness to a false narrative by distraction,
    While the MAGAngsters spread

God, Please Intervene The Affairs Of My Country, Philippines

Slavery is all over the world
The Filipinos are victims of slavery
We have been slaves by Spaniards 
We have been slaves by Japanese
We have been slaves by Americans
Our government are fighting slavery
Poor people, we only have government
What if government is the one oppressing
What happen now, the left leaning
The yellow hardliners, the red loyalist 
The Lower House,

A breeze of super heated love the ancients called it
At the forth angle trumped up charges bemoan you
Twas a case of of an eagle eating a chic..... cry folly

A Haunting Waltz

As I recline, wearied, on this eve so dark and dreary,
Whispers in the shadows, tales of Victorian eerie.
The moon, a spectral lantern, spills its ghastly glow on cobblestone streets,
Where specters of yore, in corsets and top hats, discreetly meet.

Beneath flickering gas lamps, secrets deftly concealed,
In murky alleys, truths unfold, a clandestine reveal.
Gloom, thick

When America in Sad State of Affairs

America is
in a sad state of affairs
where will crimes be nest

no telling where it may end

be careful when you
throw out your trash can by can
something may be lost

we know what happened
world went to hell in basket
never seen again

have to start over

Premium MemberMinding Other Peoples’ Affairs or Businesses

Minding other peoples’ affairs or businesses
Some villainous pundits or vile hyenas are the best
In simply doing just that, comrades. They ignore
Their own problems. They leave a huge door
Ajar, wide open, so they can put their flagitious nose
In their neighbors’ personal businesses or affairs
Please, always have the fireman’s water hose
Ready, in check and in full force

I  
am  
a seed  
in the ground  
waiting for the sun  
to warm me and to wake me up  
I feel gentle taps of pluie soaking through the soil  
nourishing me  
I start to  
grow and  
change

I

the surface

State of Affairs

Oh, life was good, the days were sunny
Every taunt, every insult seemed funny,
I loved all my foes and friends to a fault
and ate my dessert with a pinch of salt.

With a dash of vinegar, some sour cream
I turned nightmare into the sweet dream,
Aches, pains, cramps and shivering cold
For pennies my profound thoughts I sold.

I buried

Premium MemberSettling Contentious Affairs

Guns,
and ballistic threats
don't settle anything
They can't,
more quickly
kill.

Mindfulness,
and compassion therapies,
might restore peace
We could
most inclusively
embrace.

Could our court
and prison
and police
and legislative systems
become more mindful,
less judgmental,
by restoring win/win hopeful health?

Rather than punishing
shadowed neurodiversity
and cognitive limitations
and post traumatic stress disorders
and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders
and poverty
and lack of affordable self-medication choices,

Retribution
revenge
assuming perpetrators had real-world powers
to choose
and chose badly
madly
sadly.

Court fines
and forced confinement

Next day new school day. 
Amadeus was the first to
Wake then he woke DJ and 
Damali And all three went for
The showers. Twenty minutes 
Later they woke everybody else 
Including the adults. The Hakim 
Children were feverishly 
Excited about there new school. 
Anticipating all of the differences
They would encounter. 
Amadeus asked at the
Breakfast table, "are

Knockout

Knockout!
Drop the bowling ball on Putin’s head
See how the multi coloured ball
Adds another colour to its rainbow hue
Now bloody red with a bit of brains yellow
Not that Putin ever had a brain to use
His disastrous Putin War in Ukraine
Bled his pretty military dead and white
If only he’d attacked Japan as planned
Tokyo would be his with
