Best Deducting Poems

Rich ones get richer from our wages.
Middle man paid with too many pages.
We continue on path.
Hiding outrageous wrath,
Revolved in political stages,

Taxes, taxes, what will be the due.
Deductions, exemptions for a few,
All my money they have kept.
Deducting tears I wept.
Tax man arrived claimed all of them...

We might
we must
we mightily engage color's radical invitation
toward democracy,
in which black camouflages equal opportunity,
creolizes equivalent enculturations
of diversity's tones and hues
and historic chilling cries.

We could thereby release
this collective stranglehold on white
as might
and right
or fight
absence of color's ecological transparency,
vulnerability becoming
whichever rhythms and patterns
and designs embraced by history's...

our English Literature class was delighted
to meet a new to our area Ms. Liska,

and so we all loved her,
and knew she loved us as well,

of further regenerativity
both discontinuous nutritional thoughts
and continuous maturing revolutions...

Chorus
Banks! Banks! Let us all do away with banks
And their dirty tricks and their silly pranks
Banks! Banks! They mean very little to me
If I was the king all banks will be history
If I was the king all banks will be history
If I was the king...

Easy Practitioners of Another Voodoo

While I was counting the cost of steak
And while depressed about her over weight
He was counting grains of rice
She was forced into a life of vice

And while the self righteous contemplate
Judgement day is a “next” meal “day” maybe “today” ( to...

Cooperative kindness to others
is a fake kindness
if this liberating word or freeing action
compromises your own integrity,
which is disintegrating thereby,
an unkindness
to your own healthy Ego with Other relationship.

If we had electric cars
we could have parking meters
that charged those cars 
well shopping or at work

deducting the cost 
automatically from our banks
allowing electric cars 
to be charged at work, home and play

Desalination plants 
could pump water up onto the mountains 
allowing nature to deliver...

He said,

Your faith community's secularizing problem
is too much dogmatically intolerant rigidity.
You reek of green political correctness.

She replied, indefinitely concluding,

You are undoubtedly right,
our sacred opportunity
too slowly grows win/win principles
of nature/spirit indigenous integrity

We speak of blue empowerment
through green cooperative enlightenment,

Yet shun the rightwing dominant
red patriarchs

and the senate and congress still have
 their own entitlement trusts,
 but let's build a wall...

“Tom, You Shouldn’t Be Here”
New Years Day 2017
Miracle Man
10/2/2024

At birth God assigned me
an unknown expiration date.
God has seen fit to bless me
with my date coming late.

But an inaudible clock is busy
deducting from my earthly time.
Subtracting each earthly second
God has allotted for my lifetime.

I’ve faced serious...
