Best Ching Poems
Cha-Ching
Hello,
hold the phone
My girl Friday is here,
and the eagle has flown
Got an increase in my cash flow;
now I can do some things,
the weekend's here, lots of places to go
First I got to swing by my buddy's house,
find out what's coming in, what's going out
I'm holding...

Ching-A-LingAn eternal optimist I am, one day closer to spring
Hey, it ain't a lie, always look on the bright side of things
Could be a lot worse
Could be riding in a hearse
Little things count like the sound in your pocket of ching-a-ling...

Cash-Cha-ChingThe deceitfulness of money
Lures people in
Like a prostitute lures men
It appears as a best friend
But on its shoulder is
Disrespect, arrogance, injustice
And don’t forget it doesn’t lend
It’s selfish an avaricious
As it shows off its richness
It trades its denomination for
Big houses, big cars, trips and vacations
And...

Christianity and I ChingGood and evil exist like
Two sides of an arrowhead
Like crime and punishment
Mutually support independent industries
A man divided is never whole
Nuclear fascination, molecular fireworks
The atom split, armaments deferred
Duality rings
Like chains waiting to be broken
Releasing man
Into spiritual adulthood...

Deliverance ---over there..>
lost time leaking away
collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude
deliver us/me from erratum
inert/confined/lost
entangled in a weary knot
buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?
lost life leaking into the past
<..over here...

Everything Is EverythingAncient ones present me the wisdom
Allow me be influenced by the intuitive I Ching
Fall for nothing, stand for something
I value myself too much just to be someone's fling
Always portrayed an instinct to do the right thing
Gift me with sapphire instead of a diamond ring
In the...
