Best Equitable Poems


Premium Member To My Children

Drive mindfully, dear children, as you traverse hurdled highways of life,
Cognizant that adjacent to an oasis of joy, lies a desert brooding strife;
Assume charge of your chosen path, obey rules of road as you ride,
Pursuing life’s aspirations you vie, with compass of mind as your guide.

Beware things luring you with glitter, may be just metal, feigning gold,
Love superficial, love that is shallow, never the love for you to behold;
Don’t let a mirage~ a spurious illusion~ become an aspiration of hope,
Life, a vast ocean, as it ebbs and flows, learn to navigate, strive to cope.

As shrouds and clouds obscure life, seek enlightenment to wear a smile,
Defy encroachment of grimace, defy the vibes that cramp your style;
Embrace blissed domain of empathy, proffering missives angelic, kind,
Yield to others, who are lost, show them the egress destiny designed.

Build your abode on pillars of morals, revering honesty, and trust,
For they are the hallmarks of people, respectable, equitable, just;
Mind your paradigms and proverbs, practice always what you say,
Extend genuine gestures of regret, when actions have gone astray.

Be grateful for family and friends, honor them in prayers of heart,
Create keepsake albums of memories, life-scapes endearing impart;
For they are the priceless treasures of love, omnipresent lifelong,
Inspiring, nurturing you, reassuring all along~ love can do no wrong.

A Landscape of Her Own

After the funeral,
the town changed its street maps,
old houses were relocated. new shops opened
in long emptied malls.

They had never shared their likes or interests,
they had not even shared an equitable life;
now she understood the changing landscape.

Before his death, the town was seen
through his own lens only;
he was ever determined
to shape her view, make her see things his way.

After this post-mortem revelation,
She recalibrated her car’s GPS:
It takes her now
to the as yet
unseen.

Premium Member One Sweet Lie

*Note: This is a tale of honor in which the protagonist refused to tell his lady a truth which would have broken her heart, so instead he allows her to believe a lie, although it cost him her love.



Your tears stream salt into my open wounds
Equitable punishment for a scathing tongue
When deceptive words spilled from its fork,
my palate tasted morsels of amarum gall

           Mea culpa      Mea culpa

What penance do you deem to be delivered
for chafing injury upon your virtuous heart?
I have perjured myself with loathsome deceit
Condemned a liar, in weeping from your eyes

Deprive me of your kiss, as rain denies a flower
and I will crave death in a cold grave of darkness                              
Parce mihi, amica mea  ~  forgive me, my love 
The moment of reckoning weighs upon my brow

           Mea culpa       Mea culpa

To defend your innocence, I have readily sinned
For if truth I had told, it would've been a sword
and my hand, the one thrusting it into your heart
My life was loyally given; well worth one dulcis lie


                      Latin translations: 
        amarum ~ bitter        dulcis ~ sweet

Premium Member My Granddaughter Jennifer

JENNIFER

I posted  a poem on the 11th February 2019 that my Grandfather wrote to me in 1971, titled,
“My Granddaughter Jennifer”.    I also mentioned in my introduction to this poem, that I had lost my Grandfather’s poem’s except for a two or three of them.
Well to my delight, during one of the three most traumatic events in one’s life, a move, which we
instigated, and bravely followed  through, I found a small file with his poem’s to me!
I was quite thrilled – this one was sent to me 31st January 1967 when I was in my early
teens, which I thought I would like to share with you.  Again this is an exact replica of my Grand-
father’s poem – keeping in mind, that English was his second language, not
his mother tongue.   This poem was titled merely: 

JENNIFER.
TO MY DEAR GRAND DAUGHTER 
J     Jubilant to have attained your aim
E    Efficiently wise to pave your way
N    No matter what your plans can claim
N    No matter how hard is the game of life to play
I     I am certain you are going to succeed!
F     Free be your mind and eminent your inspirations
E     Equitable be your conclusions, free of imaginations
R     Remember these words Jennifer and proceed……..!

He further went on to say ….. In this world Jennifer, you will sincerely
Feel your heart overflow with happiness,  but when you do, stand by
anything in which you believe is true.  Only with truth will you fly to 
new horizons that will help you enjoy the moment, and see life through.

Panos,
Athens,
January 31st 1967.

Premium Member Imperial Corporate Jurisprudence, the Lurid Leviethan Part Two -

Self reliancy stimulates political independence,
pragmatic critical thinking spurs revocation of spurious Partisan information,
vigilanteism guards against the Juntas,
systematic interdiction of peoples' ability to to procure food, self educate, 
self medicate, and to self defense is a vital instrument in disabling citizens' morale,

it is true that several Companies provide 'civil rights' that are subject to repeal,
but these liberties must conform to security & production for the State,
the more detached we become from the land the more immense our collective ignorance,
Will to struggle recedes like red from the dying rose, spirit is sterile,
sciences are employed to subvert the passion of men, to mire the maternity of women,
to emasculate the youth, to assault the temperance of ladies,
as the bison were decimated so to fascilitate the conquest of the feral Indian,
the Anglo-Saxon farmer & tradesman were displaced by manipulated Markets,
corporations rabid with greed, fawning to increase world trade 
and to blowt stock exchanges, enlarging theaters of war &  dictating foriegn policies,
an arsenal & circus of judges, lawyers, politicians, academics, entertainers,
elastic options such as Inflation, minting money, loans, and criminal dockets,
Abraham Lincolon & John Kennedy desired to reestablish democratic banking
and were both slain as dangerous heros,
cartel suzerainity always wins,

an agrian ethos is too intractable an opponent for oligarchial commerce, 
as laws are ineffectual to dissuade a starving man, leaves don't stop the rains,
there is no need for insatiable government when one can grow crops, build homes & and micro manufacturies, where trade is honest& equitable, no swindles,
division of labor for maximum productivity at the expense of individual health,
eradication of heritage to ease trade, passivity in exchange for integrity,
can libertarianism be retrieved from the vice of the mold maker,
will we deliver this odious model into the depths of the galaxy,
will there always be captivity,
regulated life is controlled life, and that is enslaved living,
words ' make the world go round ',
we are subjects of international law codes,
Freedom dwindles -

An Equitable Assassin Trying To Be Nice

"An Equitable Assassin Trying to be Nice" 


...he 

slides the coldies 
across the table,
the beer, American

not as sharp, 
but slides down 
quick, smoothly

clean 
cold
crisp

he thinks,
lips ripe
for kissing

the prints warm
the motive missing
somewhere lost in the hallelujahs

Jacob’s Ladder 
crawling with 
footprints

hands, fingers  
and lips
all over glass walls

Snow White
doesn’t sleep 
at all, but ...

cool as a block of ice,
history melting
all over the place

a cold case 
trying to be tidy
trying to be nice

an equitable
assassin 
out of place

trying to be nice
cool as a block of ice
history melting

Silent Partners

SILENT PARTNERS

For a friends advice how far would you walk
Friends are often the ones who dont talk
It's no coincidence man's best friend doesn't speak
What kind of world would such havoc wreak 
You have his trust love and attention 

      YOU CAN BE SURE


There are things he would not mention
His counsel is kept in strict confidence 
Silence is his not one uttered sentence
No better friend to have than a dog
Unlike humans he's quiet as a log
Another good listener not talker of course
Would be none other than one silent horse
Who listens to problems troubles and woes
Only a flick of the ear showing what he knows
He keeps what is heard in sworn allegiance 
and payment is only a very small pittance
This would be just a scratch on the ears
An equitable payment for all he hears
What one should know or know it ought 
Such love is the cheapest thing never bought

Global Citizens

Are we good global citizens?
Didn't we sell the world Uranium?
The future is an open book-----
Here's a concept worth a look.
Each of us in a calm place,
One peaceful, equitable human race,
One vast people, maybe café au lait,
One global language, perhaps,
One informal faith, for chicks and chaps,
Billions of human ants, billions,
Pigeons ready for Peace Religion,
A future for the young,
Or has capitalism really won?
Who comes second in any war?
Haven't we heard it all before?
Are we good global citizens?
Who did sell the world Uranium?
Well...............

Premium Member We Are All Angry

No, Speaker Ryan,
you do not speak for me
of the sacred probabilities
for growing civil kindness.

I respect your mind and your feelings, 
but we are not, as you assert, all angry.
In fact, some of us think it is a bad, sad, and mad idea
to try to develop healthy and equitable policies for Others
out of personal anger and political fear,
when we could choose motivations engaging cooperative love,
restorative justice,
compassionate communication
and internal/external peace-making.

I am sorry you are angry,
but please do not project your concerns 
about lack of viable health and safety outcomes
onto win/win-motivated me

And millions of others who believe that green
unconditional warm compassion 
is not only more resonantly kind
but also more resiliently healthy 
than red anger
and dark blue fear 
of traumatic loss.

Both political and environmental scientists
can explain why monoculturally rabid 
win/lose 
0-sum
predative environments
are unlikely to evolve therapeutically stable 
regenerative resolutions
toward healthy sustainable 
nutritionally rich
and multicultural win/win co-empowerment outcomes 
for you, 
and me, 
and we, 
and Earth

Polarizing anger
is unlikely to produce deep economic ecological healthy relationships 
and wide poli-cultural love communion
with AnthroCreator God, 
or with awesome messianic EnLightenment, 
or with EarthPower's indigenous bodhisattva wisdom,
much less all bilaterally intelligent three

Worshipped, celebrated, legislated, governed
not with militarized PTSD anger
or polarized fear-mongering stress
or unfree, costly hate speech

But eating with joyful humility
and drinking with open, trust-developing curiosity
producing Left-cognitive and consuming Right-intuitive 
compassionate neurosystemic communication

SunLight liberating messiahs
and EarthPower conserving bodhisattvas

Fruit of resilient transgenerational
sacred passion/organic pleasure,
EgoMind v EcoBody chronic trauma-informed

Premium Member Somebody Stop Me, Or the Way of the Respondent World To Be, I Hope

I will keep this one simple as it involves one with love
to get the full impetus this song fits like a glove
I am a lover, or prostitute/gigolo of love, but a guitar 
reigns all and rises above all. Thank God for Youtube and the offerings
it promotes from a antique man that its presents promote. So much I have l
listened and so much I've lost to vinyl, tape, 8 track and more than it cost. 
Whatever the measure the venue that speaks is all that I ask for and all that
bequeaths. Way past, past, pre present now forward, lends ears to all measures
that motivate pleasures to all that appreciate without no man clatures to ageless
yea man playtatures. Music is all to one and all regardless of age and for one for all.
My middle son suddenly I heard him of Frank like I did as a boy in Ohio a dank. Is there 
something to astrology, heredity, DNA, that speaks to the aforementioned
in a word yes foretay. Hidden, hiding, promising, pre eminent, ever prominent
evasive, compromising maleovenent. This is where parental promotion is prime
where u forget about convention, discipline, and sublime. Letting them be, 
and be and be be, without social face premises to see. My sons r the greatest
as they think arraigned,unassigned, unhinged, to favor fathom their existence
in line to their own place in the present time/place/passion position equitable
and free forth coming to a future fashion fusion frankness filled with
love, caring, forgiveness, and global nurturance for all things human. Yea, 
right. It is possible if u drop yr ego and give yr other other self half a f-ing chance.
 A mirror works both ways my friend.

Slavery
enslavement
force of self-imposed ownership 
overpowering another's ego-ownership,
anthro-morbid,
collective ego-morphic tolerance of identity rape,
fear and anger, together building hate,
from which enslavement derives;
a culturally camouflaged nondual co-arising relationship
of codependent despair,
self-hatred.

Enslaving force perpetuates Ego's full-blown angry reduction
in self-identity,
deduction of self,
as someone who could "own" another's Ego-healthy will
for equivalent freedom from my freedom 
to enslave another's life,
exterior and interior.

Slave and poverty development owners 
internally enslaved by our own hypocritical hubris,
swimming upstream into economically encrusted perpetuation
of cognitive and affective dissonance,
chronic anxious homelessness,
hopelessness that I cannot afford to be more co-empathic, 
healthier on my own,
than we are together
on Earth's owner-ship.

Those nations,
corporations,
families,
individuals
addicted to retaining 
and further developing 
vastly disproportionate wealth deposits,
divorced from our own cooperative health and well-being investments,
not only steal from those without enough to thrive,
but also slink away from our own collective mental health,
anxiously fearing freedom's inevitable reparations,
struggling to repress awareness of nondual codependent enslavement
into entropic death of species.

Hatred combines anger about past with fear of future.
"Anger Management" politics might choose a more transparent therapeutic label,
"Hatred Co-Arising Suppression".

Decomposing hatred first breathes through "I am Anger,"
listening for Time's healing simmer,
then decomposing anger about past violations
to embrace rational fears of deadly toxins
enslaving equitable prospects for a healthy future.

It feels healthy to remember we are Anger
with ourselves
and with each other 
before,
without sustaining against ourselves or others,
perpetuating enslaving hatred
for mental health stolen from those without sufficient wealth 
to thrive
to feed 
our own unhealthy enslaving greed.

Dispirited slavery imposes greedy unnatural ownership, 
dreadful wealthy lust for power
co-arising with holistic health's decreasing power,
globally and personally,
without as within.

Very bad karma,
total lack of grace,
not our way to Win-Win race.

A Belated Cc Das Kapital Wicked Candle Box Event For Karl Marx

Born May 5, 1818, in Trier Germany 
     to Heinrich and Henrietta Marx,
sans the third of nine children 
     (and second oldest heir) 

     Karl Marx thinking begot incendiary sparks,
asper his two most controversial publications 
     titled The Communist Manifesto, 
     and Das Kapital

which political philosophy 
     incubating seeds of self destruction didst birth
doctrines of class struggle, 
     historical materialism, dearth

of equitable wealth, and inherent 
     contradictions of industrial capital 
     distributed unevenly 
     across avast swath of Earth 

thus inviting his perspective 
     (conveniently exploited, 
     mined, and usurped) advocating 
     the working class (proletariat) 

     to expedite organized revolutionary action
to topple capitalism and bring about 
     socio-economic emancipation,
where wages of sin exchanged for labor bled
 
fingers to the bone life source, viz proletariat 
     till slaving laborer nearly became gratefully dead  
despite being cased in 12 point 
     Times New Roman garb, who incessantly fed

insatiably maws of production, 
     (no way to get a supportive talking head)
particularly highlighted 
     within schema of Capitalism), 

     a predominant paradigm 
     stratifying society led
to internal tensions engendered 
     between bourgeoisie red

dilly controlling means 
     of production codified as said
as die a critical approach Marx coined 
     as historical materialism,

    where figurative landmines forced one to tread 
gingerly, thus above stated philosophy 
     would supposedly lead down the road 
     where self destruction wrought marriage 
     birthing Socialism offspring from shot gun wed

     ding, thus coaxing eventual establishment 
of classless communist society meant
to establish free association of producers who spent
exchanging merchandise amidst classless 
     campy population hood pitched a tent.

The Meaning of Islam2

...... Please read part one first.......

? How did Muhammad (may peace be upon him) become a prophet and a messenger of God?

At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat, Muhammad received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Quran.
As soon as he began to recite the words he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, 'migration', in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.
After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China. 

? What is the Quran?

The Quran is a record of the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad. It was memorized by Muhammad and then dictated to his Companions, and written down by scribes, who cross-checked it during his lifetime. Not one word of its 114 chapters, Suras, has been changed over the centuries, so that the Quran is in every detail the unique and miraculous text which was revealed to Muhammad fourteen centuries ago.


? What is the Quran about?
The Quran, the last revealed Word of God, is the prime source of every Muslim's faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern us as human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, and law, but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time it provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and an equitable economic system.

"Greetings To Subway"

A taste bud option determine upon a sub type like tips are a option

What type of bread do you prefer? Nearly all favor wheat or white

Six inches on the other hand a foot long

Equally distributed in halves and as an alternative, anything jampacked equitable to twelve inches

Turkey breast, Ham, beef steak, chicken breast

Meat slurry, concoction, tapioca clean processed foods much the same as crest

Tomatos, Jalapeno peppers, and lettuce

Three checks off the sub checklist

Terrified to cause errors sweating more than a sub loaded with onions

Lite mayonnaise comes into play; only the second day training and the training process is like hair waves

Oil, vinegar, mustard nearly completed the construction

A customer paces in, in three seconds don't lose consciousness to remember to say the introduction
("Greetings To Subway")

Two digit id, four digit password, sub 2, April, Katadra Dawkins, Anthony 'JaeRrah Dawkins I need you

Two five dollar foot long subs, two chocolate cookies, total is eighty four cent and Dwight

A twenty dollar bill is the payment and change is $7.16 cent

Boy what a foot long day

The Ring of Diamond

Old sayings are gold for many 
Proverbs are power house of wisdom to some 
‘’Tit for tat ‘’is one such ring of diamond 
Worn on their necks, revenge is its another sweet name 
The lure or the allurement of it is so strong 
That hardly could I, too, avoid to use it 
To answer any misdeeds done to me 
So I hate those who hate me 
This is a very simple equation 
And very equitable with the third of law of motion 
And stationary things I dislike, in fact, there is nothing stationary 
 In relative term everything is in motion 
You, me, their hate   and my reaction 
But I have a problem with myself 
For granted I cannot take old things and old sayings as they are 
I put things down side up 
And upside down 
Then stir it with my long handled spoon 
The reason is obvious I cannot carry forward a lie 
Or live in falsehood or say like a sage 
Love those who hate you 
I am not a prophet either, otherwise, I would say 
 Hate the sin not the sinner 
I am mare a poet, a pretty writer 
And have a big habit to pretend what I am not 
And develop a knack to show people 
That I am too busy with my love 
And have no time for big hating business 
Neither the people who hate me 
Nor are the people who by mistake use the old sayings indiscriminately.
