Best Entrepreneurial Poems


Premium Member If the World Should End Tomorrow

If, by chance, the world should end tomorrow
How would you spend the last day of your life ~~
Either in revelry or regret?  in jubilation or sorrow?

With time cut short, your day becomes staccato
Apologies for everyone whom you caused strife,
If, by chance, the world should end tomorrow.

Perhaps a visit to a sacred and most holy grotto
To commune with the saints about the afterlife
Either in revelry or regret?  in jubilation or sorrow?

No time for entrepreneurial schemes to borrow
No time for the cutting words slicing like a knife
If, by chance the world should end tomorrow.

Interesting, as we’ve no promise for the morrow
Neither breath, nor place, nor space nor heighth
Either in revelry or regret, in jubilation or sorrow.

‘Tis up to us to plow a straight and narrow furrow
To make the most noble, good, and worthwhile rife
If, by chance, the world should end tomorrow
Either in revery or regret? in jubilation or sorrow?

Premium Member AN INSTANT

An instant touch 
Can bring life 
Fertilize an egg
Procreate and excel 

Expand on an idea
Stand on business
Grow your company 
Instant entrepreneurial touch

An instant touch
Can bring death
Shot of a gun 
Driving drunk 

An instant touch can heal
Like the woman in the bible 
Who had an issue of blood
Touched His hem was made whole

My instant cup of coffee or tea
May not seem so great to me
But the person without a cup
May see me as blessed filled up

Life is filled with so many instances 
Be open to the significant possibilities

Paris, Mon Amour

"when the Gods want to punish you, they answer your prayers"
                                  --line from the film "Out of Africa"

She stopped, transfixed, a breathless 
butterfly pinned to a board, and she said, 
"That is So beautiful!" Then, turning
to her husband as they stood in my kitchen 
before an aerial photograph of L'Ile de la Cite' 
shaped like a ship in the beating heart of Paris,  
(young Yuppie wife of entrepreneurial architect 
who owned half the houses on the street 
where I lived), she asked with pleading eyes, 

"Could we go someday?" Knowing the appetite 
for that which lies beyond Beyond: Paris, 
La Cite' Emeraude, or wherever is the personal
Shangri La, I wished I could have shared 
what I've known: a second floor apartment 
in an historic building in the 12th--its 
circular staircase royally carpeted in red,
enclosing a tiny lift, depositing us 
to a storied paradise, its rooms extending 

beyond glass doors of an antechamber into 
a formal salon, two stately bedrooms 
with balconies, and a "bureau," birthplace 
of poems, diaries of dreams, and in the interior 
courtyard beneath our common windows, 
open to the Paris bleu, a caged canary sang, 
lusting for open sky in mornings filled 
with the perfume of freshly baked pastries 
and baguettes from the patisserie below.  

Once, I was besotted with a man who told me
after lovemaking, "I never knew how 
much yearning you needed."  He divined this, 
and for a time he fed that soul hunger in me, so 
that it was hard when he left, and they always leave.  
Ships seeking harbor, leave in their wake
a yearning in the corners of your life, which will 
surely bring back Paris and everyone you have ever 
loved, which will somehow, somehow, against 
all odds, satiate the supplicant heart.

What If Thanksgiving Celebrated 365 Days a Year Part I

an earlier draft of this barely satisfactory missive ex post facto, i chomped asper with upper dentures upon evincing a couple of typographical errors, in up rye or draft, and did not wanna dodge being a spell bound stickler for typing words correctly. 

though no obligation to trot out this fixation sans zero misspelling tolerance, a compulsion with any concomitant obsession found me reposting before a repast of dessert - so there Ghost of Marie Antoinette, wherever you might be hiding - i can have my cake and eat it too!

Minus trimmings and over stuffed ego freezers, 
but altruism, civility, Dharma bum ethnocentrism, 
gratuitous homogeneous internationalism, 
karma mosaic opportunism, quitessential righteousness, 
unpretentious vivacious wide world yipping,

brouhaha dutifully emphasizing friendliness, 
antithetically booing critical, popularly pugnacious 
spoiled trump petting uber western yikyak, 
zealous antipathy craving everything. 
---------------------------------------------------------
a hypothetical, mental, rhetorical thought question 
   occurred to me just moments ago
sans, milk of human kindness bubbles frothily 
   upon major American holiday, 

   whereat figurative bro
   thar and sisters exhibit philanthropic 
   good-samaritan charitable ambitions 
   especially, towards indigent that crow
for bare necessities

   other than 
   when Thanksgiving rolls around, and dough
nuts to dollars even most frugal misanthropes 
   play feigned charitable card egoistically glow
with ambient benevolence, civility, 
   diligent energy, and friendly hello

and sundry pleasant greetings

   soon tubby rich entrepreneurial stranger 
   ready to make shares available vis a vis  IPO

My Public Service Part Two

(Part Two, Continued)

The better choice of the two, I believe is clear enough even for the ignorant.

Everyday a new adventure in human psychology, pain, and suffering.
allowed the privilege to interact with an endless array of human variety.
This disease knows no race, gender, class, sexuality, or political affiliation.
afflicting far more than the deranged few, as some would have you believe
a stereotype of persons with addiction, to create distance from the disease
It is possible that every living human, knows, or is related to someone afflicted.
Denying to acknowledge their loved ones condition, is the definition of ignorant.

It seems only fitting that the cause of our modern day's massive rise in addiction
Heroin, so numerous in its effects, stronger than any before, and more addicting
Is the direct descendant of man's original addictive remedy, the Opium Poppy.
The worlds percentage of heroin addicted persons, passing epidemic proportions
nothing in our lifetimes has possessed this level of destructive power.
society barely managed to subdue and heal from the international Opium problem
The fact an implication of how difficult this new epidemic will be to stop 
A terrible time to be an addict, but prosperous for entrepreneurial persons

Maybe this is my chance to increase my level of success in my current hustle
I have the ability, knowledge, and connections to be a true kingpin.
However, one constant continuously holds me firmly at my current level of success
Held back so long by addiction, I finally realize the extent of my enslavement
If I didn't have to support an immense and ever increasing drug habit
Long ago, I would have reached the level of extreme wealth and riches

I am embarrassed to admit the expense of my extremely costly past time
But, I will say with honesty the number spent resides in the millions
And, that is at distribution cost, purchasing quantity at a wholesale discount
Unaware and not wanting to know the true cost if bought at street price.
An entire lifetimes of earned yearly salaries, injected into my plump veins.
More money has gone into my veins, than into many millionaires bank accounts
If they hadn't been used to chase a short and fleeting sensation and feeling,
I would be among one of the richest individuals I know, without a doubt.

Embrace You're Future

Your intentions follow you. The stuff you're intending today is not going
to show up today, for it is new. It's going to show up in days, weeks, months and sometimes years on down the road, remove the worrisome load. 

Being successful in the Entrepreneurial world and making the Law of Attraction work for you, is a lifestyle, not a 1-2-3 formula for instant manifestation that is true.

Every day is a new act creation, and your manifestations will show up in multiple ways. When your desires show up, your manifestation arrival will seem natural, normal and expected in so many ways. 

Probably not that all exciting; this is normal because you have matured to the point that you can manifest the dreams you longed for, put them in writing. 

Rome wasn’t built in a day, a famous saying. Take time to see each new level as a new path opens for you to move forward with grace and appreciation. 

When we are grateful for the small things in life; that is when the bigger manifestations arrive without strife.

Understand this and you're halfway there. Relax and enjoy your accomplishments as well as the journey with loving care. 

Have fun with it and embrace your adventure!

Premium Member The Diagnosis

The doctor gave the diagnosis of pernicious anemia
Which then explained the new found fatigue
In the past, he had been able to take on any enterprise 
An astral imagination was his adherent 
To help carry out his entrepreneurial spirit
Now all of his gifts seeped slowly like sand through the hour glass

He had wanted to traverse over the poverty of his childhood
He refused to accept any sort blemish 
That would dampen the ladder to his success
His visage upon his final goals landed
Rural plots turned into verdant open land, tools, equipment stored 
Now like a sentry he guards his fold

More of the Same

Replicated news diet,
it don't ever change
Every day they feed us
more and more of the same

Smirking politicians
with greedy, covetous eyes
Make us more empty promises,
using the same old fake lies

Wall Street suit hustlers
selling the stolen American dream,
want more people to naively invest
in the same failed pyramid scheme

Experts and authorities
with fancy titles next to their name,
use recycled sound bytes ...
suggesting only more of the same

Prosperity peddling preachers
say for twenty bucks they can heal your poverty pain
But I've sniffed that snake oil incense before,
and it smells like more of the same

Entrepreneurial cult spirits
marketing pagan electronic games
Have converts in idol-making factories,
mass producing more of the same

As the sun rises each day,
and the four seasons change
I'm sure the next generation
will see even more of the same

Spring Equinox 2019

Spring Equinox 2019 ™®©- çø!a

Wednesday, March 20, 2019
out of hibernation,
sans mancave, I will climb
specifically at 5:59 Post Meridiem

eastern standard time,
when calendrical, celestial,
and chronological prime
airy factors mark

onset of temperate clime
mitt, also coincides with
'super worm equinox moon,'
to this Earthling, would appear
no larger than a dime

though ironically enough,
said satellite of Earth
closest to this oblate spheroid
whatever esoteric tidbit may be worth,
yet unwittingly inviting once in a
blue cheese moon opportunity
to espy with naked eye lunar dearth

of life, nor feasible conditions
warrant sear ching colonizing ahoy
by an adventurous space cowboy,
but perhaps convenient

launch pad to employ
entrepreneurial minded profiteers,
whether Jewish or goy
establishing other worldly
getaway to enjoy

reprieve, asper burgeoning
hardy madding crowd
populating nearly every square inch,
sans third rock from the sun, a proud

arrogant, defiant, haughty,
et cetera species predominantly cloud
ding, glomming, mucking, et cetera
exploiting courtesy manifest destiny

bajillion year old planet as if endowed
by divine creator to trumpet "FAKE"
supremacy, tis not white in my mind
declaring might equals right unbowed

credo selfishly amassing untold wealth
ideally at expense and health
of every others by fiat, force and stealth
consigning subjects to slavery
in an effort to rule global commonwealth,

which self centered 
aggrandizement that ball
(pockmarks most visible hall
of the moon tin king)
did not return my call

and thoroughly explains
without rhyme and reason
why what appears as face on lunar surface
actually migrants of Stonehenge vestial wall.

Fredral Republic of Nigeria

The federal republic of Nigeria.  

my country they say is very 
corrupt with selfish leaders, 
bribery among ourselves, 
where unemployment is more 
than the people, where there is  
inequality among male and 
female. the land where poverty 
can be found and high rate of 
bad gambling of all where 
dangerous people are. 
with these Nigeria has the 
largest diversity of culture with 
good heritage and we are 
proud of it
we are very entrepreneurial , 
confident, and respectful 
we are bound with freedom, 
unity, faith, peace, which we 
progress in all aspect of our 
day to day life and filled with 
humility.
our smiles lightens our world 
we are blessed with rich sweet 
dark chocolate skin which does 
not age fast 
our accent tops our world 
justice is our shield and 
defender 
 we never let the labours of our 
heroes be in vain
above all we are GOD’s own 
creation.

Little Known Holidays Occurring On February Fifteenth

Little known holidays occurring on February fifteenth...,
awaiting commercial sponsors to become...
what else...,but hand over fist money makers?
(http://www.holidays-and-
observances.com/february-15.html)

Excess Valentine's surplus sweet treats
and assorted paraphernalia
need not go to waste
said sappy accouterments
can be repurposed

quickly without haste
less pronounced celebrated fetes faced
overwhelming stiff as an arrow baste
in love potion, understandable
no satiny frills laced,
or some other eye catching

emoji, persona, symbol...
awaits deft ploy of marksman/
woman to lift from obscurity,
whose ontological, mythological,
historical...basis replaced
essence mined to the Maximus,

and references to FACTS erased
with brilliance craftily distilling
entrepreneurial finesse aced
to broker psychological seduction,
(albeit subtle) synchronicity braced,
sans free market capitalism crux

linkedin at optimal nexus enterprize prefaced
with salient mania to generate profit raced
to the forefront of popular media
adulterated and of course embraced
by president of United States with
many commercial donning merchandise,

quoting P. T. Barnum,
there's a sucker chased 
and born every minute, and
trumpeting how to make

a stack of money
(held together by
toothpicks and paste)
tall as the Taj Mahal,

which occasion aced
with fanfare including
handing out signed "FAKE"
copies of 'The Art Of

The Deal' amazingly graced
on podium along with
candies, gewgaws, tsatskes...
toting, praising, lauding...merits of:

Premium Member Crusading Faith

Multinational economic and political and religious leaders,
parents and teachers,
repent!

Do not over-invest in exploiting the weakness of outsiders,
but nurture our cooperative strengths
when we only have insiders
with diverse strengths and weaknesses.

We don't need more lessons
on how and why and when and where
to be good entrepreneurial capitalists
playing WinLose self-redemption games
of false autonomy
and perilous short-term thinking
and narrow-minded planning.

We do need more WinWin cooperative lessons
mentors
games
processes that progress polyculturing regenerativity,
how and why and when and where
to listen to and mindfully grasp
good and healthy and beautiful cooperative wealth
of truth and trust in globally inclusive democracy
of ownership
through co-subsidiary solidarity,
integrity of Earth's self-governing abundance,
grace of nutritional forests,
karma of tidal rivers,
love of co-passion,
kindness of not unkindness,
contentment of positive content,
happiness through wu wei balance,
health of Tipping point harmonics.

Repent not with lamentation
but by reweaving celebration.

What was the original multinational corporation,
economic,
political,
religious?
Christianity spread for faith investment reasons
rather than competing disinvestment treasons.
Faith spreading virally through creolizing cooperations
and bad faith through demonizing fear and anger-mongering.

Messiahs arrive to turn matriarchal Earth upside down.
Not more patriarchal WinLose invasion
past its post-millennial time,
but more WinWin reverse-hierarchical
self-investing bilateral persuasion.

Golden Rules
apply to mega-corporations
remembering communion with Earth's paradise promise.
Then less need to worry
fret and stew
criminalize and demonize
with Rusty Cruels.

Messiahs,
small through megalogical co-mentors,
win through vulnerable weaknesses
of egocentric death
investing increase as eco-centric healthy life.

My Son-In-Law Ping

PING 

         He's the man of the house,
          Loving dad of two boys. 
             
               He's a delightful, 
   Soft-spoken man and quite serious. 
             
             But every so often, 
             He can be hilarious. 
 
               Ever and again,
         When he's in the mood, 

          He loves to cater to his
         family and acquaintances.
 
             Whilst he's cooking,
       He shows his intuitive dance,
           which was stupendous.
  
          He's a man with no vanities,
        Never been vain or ostentatious. 

  That success was fueled by his hard work.
  
            He never shows feelings of
 Superiority in his Entrepreneurial company. 

        He tattooed Jesus' face on his chest, 
                    With deliverance, 
         Which symbolises protection 
            And a huge love for Him. 

    He is a man who has defined his goals 
       With confidence and auspicious.

      Against all the odds on his journeys,
           Ping was ultimately victorious. 

He thanks God so much for He is so gracious!
