Which one is worse
A parent not being able
To feed her kids because
They can’t afford to put
Food on the table
OR
A state who chooses to
Turn down food allowances
That can help feed hundreds of
Hungry children, isn’t that
Also considered child abuse
So, which is worse

Some discover the joy of chocolate in fall.
Maybe, Motther, got it for us at the mall.
Later, we were then able to buy it on our owm,
From our allowances, oh, how we felt so grown!
As time flew by, we found it calmed us down,
Like magic, it gave us smiles, and removed,frowns.
I am grateful, for this tasty, most auspicious treat.
On Valentines Day, in red satin, knocks me offf my feet!

He remembers it before it arrives,
To collect a far one hundred miles drives,
To keep stalling payment his life deprives,
Better he ended up in beehives…
The end of every month full of meaning,
It’s a female worker’s time for preening:
In a sense, a life of subordination;
No envying other’s ordination,
Especially after allowances;
Just watch out for Michael Jackson’s dances!
In bed strong muscles completely inert,
Until their owner receives credit alert;
Boss wins the heart of a worker through wage:
The ones who split it their workers’ strength cage…
A promise of the life of “hand to mouth”
It has been the same story North and South.
You don’t wait, when an old mouth had gone out;
You’re asking for The Tormented’s sure shout
The Truth: worker’s wage plus his boss chance tips:
That way boss sure praises on his lips…

There's times when people are hard to understand
Most likely caused by unknown factors
These things that can happen to all of us at times
Then love kicks in and that's all that matters
We make allowances for a change in the weather
We should also be aware of our moods
They can make us see things that really aren't there
Sadly they can be reason for feuds
Just try to understand the changing patterns
That affect us guys sooner or later
Sometimes it can leave a big hole in our heart
Which soon can become a big crater
A real open mind is the thing you must have
To make sense of how love does evolve
Though it doesn't always follow and make good sense
Don't lose hope the problem will be solved
One needs compassion to help us get through
Not everyday will come up solid gold
The secret of life and real happy experiences
Is fulfilling and such a joy to behold

I still believe all politicians are not liars and dishonest
Though it is difficult to find those are consistently so
Those who will face harsh realities on election day
Dishonest peers will work together to see them go.
Right on, Liz Cheney! for standing up for what was right
Republicans turned their backs on her; she was ousted,
She stood like a beacon of justice against Trump’s big lie
Proving her words, what was right; it cannot be doubted.
Honest politicians have always been scorned by others
For they work on principle; for them, values are prized
And when confronted by their unscrupulous peers,
Most of them are not entirely taken aback or surprised.
Many honest politicians voluntarily return to civilian life
Eschewing the titles, plans, plush allowances, longevity
When they realize they are unable to make a difference,
Will trade the lifestyle of Washington for common decency.

Doing What’s Right
Miracle Man
5-19-2022
When life has finished shucking our corn,
there remains that day, just a shriveled stalk.
Thoughts may carry us back to being reborn,
and circumstances bidding our Godly walk.
From shallow graves, just a thought away,
lie bones we thought long ago forgotten.
These past memories often sadness convey,
and while many are good some are rotten.
For all those things which we ought have done,
that remained as scraps on our life’s plate.
Life makes no allowances for a partial rerun,
the life we’ve lived will determine our fate.

Always be humble
and gentle, be patient
with each other, with each other, each other
Making allowance, allowances
For each other's faults
Always be humble and gentle
Be patient always forgiven
Because of your love Jesus
Because of the love of God
Because of your love, Jesus
Because of the love of God the love of God
All things are beautiful

Firearms for sale
Come and get them now.
Our rifles are fine
Our shotguns are a wow!
So you can’t come by today, Chet?
That’s okay. Buy them on the Internet.
How much easier can it be?
So many sold nice and illegally.
Fire arms for sale. Oh. You are only ten?
Well, we have to make allowances now and again.
Step right up and show me your cash.
We’ll get you a shotgun in an Iowa flash.
Who’s that young kid standing outside?
Tell him to come in; we won’t make fun or chide.
All he has to have is real USA money.
Just ask my sister, Rough and Ready Rita Gunny.

When your ambition didn’t tally with mine,
we had to learn to steer a common course.
Our earlier dreams withered on the vine
Our individual pasts were our source.
In the interest of our joint future
we had to learn to steer a common course.
If at different rates we would mature,
then allowances we must surely make
in the interest of our joint future.
To be genuinely woke or a fake,
focus only on a global career,
then allowances we must surely make.
From humanitarian course don’t veer:
for that, I am eternally grateful.
Focus only on a global career.
Resisting temptation to be spiteful
when your ambition didn’t tally with mine;
for that, I am eternally grateful.
My earlier dreams withered on the vine.

It's finished, all in heard,
sleepless night, all come around,
headache, also landed,
for the first time, my mind is troubled,
immediately, I started preparing,
drawing the maps and planning,
my heart and mind keeps burning,
so little time to go, I'm still running.
It's finished, all I heard,
all lose end, I try mend,
my health begin to blick red,
for the first time, my mind is troubled,
how to get a job keeps coming,
and my CV is not improving,
my crown head is boiling,
so little time to go, I'm still running.
It's finished, all heard,
all allowances are to be accumulated,
hunger strike that time started,
for the first time, my mind is troubled,
cup cake keep calling,
parent, project, pastor stirring,
stagnant, I think I forgot the bearing,
so little time to go, I'm still running.
It's finished, all I heard,
world is not worked to work,
walk in the word, find your worth,
work on your worth to walk on the world.

UNDERSTANDING
to understand another,
one must never contemplate
the feeling of irrational judgement sought,
but hesitate for more
more understanding of cause,
more allowances of reasons pursued,
and the ability to walk in shoes of another soul
and to understand the other;
for that reason
one must never contemplate,
but hesitate to allow for more….

Undivided We Fall
Some people just don't realize...
How 1 bullet became 40 million.
How 40 million bullets becomes a war.
How 1 races hatred and lack of empathy became another races pain and anger.
How hatred, pain, and anger becomes the burning of your buildings.
Racism and supremacy...
The true disease that infects all people's of every race, creed, and color from shore to shore.
How divided we fall, becomes a worlds separation.
How together we stand takes empathy and patience.
How the lack of accountability from our leaders ticks the talk
back for-hundreds of years and becomes deaths clock.
An hourly replayed revelation of fear and devastation.
But even more importantly,
How the continual allowances of one races demise, brings forth separation,
that leaves this country vulnerable to attack, and will soon cause the destruction of every' race in this nation.

" New World
Corvid heard, Health officials
Social distancing guidance issues
Corvid dismissal
Schools what
No longer taught
Everyone doesn't have internet
Work places still reject
Keep away 6 feet and yet
Restaurants and bars no smoking here
Can't sit next to me I don't drink beer
Childcare workers day cares can house under 10 children Parents train your child just to stop sneezing and breathing Wash them hands coughing in arm inside your elbow
Mass transit no thank you I'm going to walk
No more fist bumps no friends for lunch
6 feet distance 6 ft apart health of officials help us not
Just what is monies figurative materialistic allowances
For providing services and material things there's pains
And pangs in sufferings deaths throughout the lands
Sinners, Saints, Politicians, Medical, Religious leaders
of provided hope no long-suffering stepping aside Corvid New World Order"

Whoever has cabin fever, hold up your hands
Can't hold up mine, cause I'm typing and can't
Never lived in a cabin
Assumed no distractions
But must make allowances for wielding an ax

slapped on the wrist
for being belittled-
trapped in a twist,
-unleashing my rage-
feeding mediocre
muse with the
aching for one
more word;
visceral syllables cascading,
my demure nature fading
he says I am becoming;
thinks I wear an
aura of ethereal heights-
but
I am but a woman
longing to be who
he thinks I am
when
all I am is afraid
to be abandoned
forsaken and mistaken,
not enough chances taken
wealth
allowances
bled hope dry;
desolated deserts
left me breathless,
awaiting the moment
my skin stops crawling-
for touches are numb and
I am left restless in a cage of rage
overwhelmed by
desultory ash;
like a chrysalis it
guards what lies
beneath-
filth lining corridors,
thresholds leading to
a place where death wins
i lost myself in hell-
where my demons never told
me how rancid life could really be
