Best Equals Poems
He possessed a razor sharp mind
Slicing through problems
With a surgeon like precision
All the while dancing at the edge of sanity
One brilliant moment at a time
The blade of his brilliance
Flashed forward
Relativity speaking
Embraced by pop culture
Recognized, coveted for his mass appeal
Eyes piercing beyond the speed of light
He was born into and was a great mystery
Lining our minds, one question at a time
Curiosity's companion
Gravitational accomplice
Weighing infinities limitations
Searching the stars
Collecting what he lacked on earth
Content in his solitude
Personal grooming not of great concern
For he truly was incoruptably himself
His razor sharp mind
Chose not to cut his hair
The need to know and to belong,
to sing the chorus and the song,
to learn to share and be a part,
not at the centre,in the the heart;
To play a role,an instrument
finely tuned in temperament,
one of many,in symphony,
essential,yet in harmony;
Yet we each,unique,individual,
in unison,sacred,sacremental.
Inspired by Jesus prayer in J 17:11
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan
Every time I have lamented over something lost,
I have managed to do without it at little cost.
Getting over a loss is success, I don’t envisage much strife.
But what doesn’t apply - in the box could not be a human life.
There's not a "better,"
for courage and cowardice
come in all colors.
We met at point forty five
At the stop, the beast on four wheel drives
I intentionally ask for the travel fee
Unconcerned about your impression on me
The moment you spoke of the bus cost
My numbers and calculations were lost
I wanted you to be the ying to my yang
Be the caller, as my telephone rang
My wise professor taught me mathematics
With formulas got my mind performing acrobatics
When letters and numbers were combined
I hoped that we were eternally entwined
Can I ever find e if u are square root to 128?
128veu, I don't wish for you to carelessly illustrate
Although the axis x was shorter than y
However your line will still converge mine
"Yang", you called facing the scintillating sun
Far past distant plains where we scorch and run
You are my "Xiaoping", capturing my troubled heart-
A splintered cork you used to sealed as treasury art
To the antique shop of organs you visited
Lies my draining veins stood so privileged
Satisfied with the length of my heart rate
I mailed gratitude to my aesthetic fate
Can you calculate if my rate was abnormal?
Alas! With you, I am immortal
My ancient professor taught me algebra
Equations that held us like bunches of abaca
That engulfs the arid earth with triumph
My axis extends higher than a tree's xylem
The horizontal axis of x for Xiaoping
And the vertical axis of y for Yang
If those axis intersects at point forty-five
It will equal to a pronumeral U and I
The other day my hubby and I had a tiny tiff,
a silly disagreement we all have once or twice,
as he came crawling for my forgiveness he said,
“HAPPY WIFE EQUALS HAPPY LIFE!”
He knows the routine as I stated the drill,
for the dog house is never for the wife,
“honey did you give me enough blankets?”
“HAPPY WIFE EQUALS HAPPY LIFE!”
“Come one, don't assume I'd leave you cold!
I'm not that mean, but I'll bring you a fork and knife.”
I guess I'm eating in the dog house once again,
“HAPPY WIFE EQUALS HAPPY LIFE!!”
This is getting ridiculous and my feet are frozen,
too many times I have slept with the wildlife,
skunks, squirrels and bats everywhere I look,
“HAPPY WIFE EQUALS HAPPY LIFE!”
Man she wears the pants in this dictatorship home,
Does she even realize she's not very nice?
“Honey, come back inside it's been a week out here.”
“Sure dear whatever you say sweet sugar and spice”
“HAPPY WIFE EQUALS HAPPY LIFE!”

Its been a while for me what about you?
Almost forgotten or possibly not a clue
Fantasies arise - begin to store and evolve
What once was a truth - is now desolved
So its been a while for me - what about you?
Surely i know - what on earth i have to do
What distraction has caused intimacy zero for me
Calm my crazy world so iron clad i couldnt see
Why walk this earth with my eyes wide shut
Deny myself opportunity, intimacy and love
Closed to inspiration for a heart just beating life
Trying to send me signals to feel love beaming bright
Knowing i have it within me but yet im petrified
Wish it would just find me - envelope me so kind
Embracing feelings - i have so long been denied
Help me decipher the signs so i dont lose my mind
Hey you out there - if your reading my rhyme
Please - let this be your sign .........................
Don't be like me - and forget what life is all about
LOVE = LIFE
Oscar Levant, American Author, Comedian, Music Composer and more,
Was born in the early 20th Century and died in the 1970’s
Each decade, or era has their comedians – below is one of Mr Levant’s quotes,
TWO BY TWO EQUALS FOUR
A young couple Clorrita and Dwaine,
Decided to spend a holiday in Spain,
Both vegans, enjoyed a good radish,
But either neither nor, spoke Spanish.
They carried masks, heard of an Epidemic,
The Spanish Flu could become Pandemic,
They lived in Europe on inland terrain,
So decided they would travel by train.
They asked for a sleeper for four,
The ticket officer asked, “Why Senor”,
“Well, there is me and I, and she,
And my wife, so four we are you see”.
They had never thought or planned,
People could not understand,
When they went out to dine,
“A table for four please, will be fine”.
Eventually returned home, all so relieved,
Even Clorrita and Dwaine heaved,
A sigh, people don’t do simple maths anymore,
Schizophrenics are two by two equals four!
“ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE, I’M SCHIZOPHRENIC AND SO AM I”
Fortunately, medicine has advanced incredibly since the 1970’s.
Six Feet = Three Bricks
Written: by Tom Wright
2/20/03
On winters night our mom would coddle,
keeping moppets warm was quite a trick.
Two feet always got the hot water bottle,
while the other six feet got heated bricks.
Heated and sheathed before finding beds,
neath quilts, that seemed in weight, tons.
With nothing protruding save burr heads,
too young to recognize we were lucky ones.
We are all God’s children
How dare anyone pick on or push around another person
This takes place with kids and grown-ups
It results in death in many cases and needs to cease and desists
We need to ask ourselves
How would we feel
If someone picked on us
Because we had less, were not as smart as others, were much smarter than others
Because we have special needs because we are somehow different
This needs to end
Ending it begins at home
With parents showing love
And teaching respect for everyone
God makes everyone beautiful
And no one has the divine right
To pick on another person
Because he or she stands out
It shows insecurity in the person
Who is picking on other people
God loves us all
This behavior needs to stop
The suicides due to bullying need to stop
The homicides due to bullying need to stop
The cyberbullying need to stop
And we need to respect one another
The way we want to be respected
Because we are equals
Since I belong to God, I am treated by the world like I'm the backwards spelling of
His name. In other words, I'm treated like a dog. His grand treatment will enable to
stand in the face of persecutions for the good life Jesus is the only solution. The
world will treat you like a dog but God holds all of their collars. They can't do you
any harm all you have to do to God's name is holla'! 1-11-11
We are a faint star cluster
A mere wisp of evening cloud
A glimpse into ancient history
Our distance cannot be fathomed
By your feeble, mortal minds
We may be stardust by now
You would think they are all the one and same
Me, myself and I - intertwined
Its all in here, different parts co exist
Influence this mind three egos persist
At times a battle here to be won
Thoughts and emotions going round the twist
Three equals one at times hard to control
Confusion, decisions they are all involved
Although different but all part of one
I couldnt imagine life any other way
Three different perspectives weight divided
I assure you not equally, then decided
Sometimes I lose to myself and I
But me is who I am and that's just fine
Not for naught is laughter called,
the right medication, for the soul,
Laughter plays no prideful role
on ego’s path, or vanities goal,
For laughter is the sense of joy installed,
That harmonizes with the world.
Not for naught is laughter said
To be the best medicine,
Well documented in olden lore
Widespread and genuine
When laughter is at its best
It rids the mind of emotional stress.
Not for naught they say
that tears of joy
Keeps miseries away
For sorrow’d tears, distress employ
But laughter is the key to the happy door
As souls entwine and in mirth soar.
Not for naught does laughter’s role
Play a major part in emotions discharge
No matter how gruesome the turmoil
Laughter clears the way small or large
For laughter makes light a load
on this life’s symbolic road.
Not for naught does laughter bring
Peoples together joyful in voice to sing
For man must have affinity to survive,
Must have Love around to keep the world alive
For without affinity for one another
There will be no laughter for miseries to smother.
Joyful laughter is pure sanity
Man must have affinity
For survival’s reality
Try the laughter’s way
Feel as relief has its say
at laughter’s play.
Swirling enveloped by the sun
Staring at the sky
Trying to outrun
The sign
Of ambiguity
Dancing in the snow
Inhaling frigid air
Wanting to know
How far fantasy
Is from reality?
Painting on stained canvas
Picturing us together
Yearning to go back to the beginning
Back to a clean slate
To white canvas
Digging for remnants of who we used to be
Searching for shards of who we were
I need you, like I need the sun
I need you to hold my hand
I need a friend
Stay with me
Before we disintegrate into the sea
Vanish into the air
Forget without a care
Shackled to a nameless fear.
