Best Exemptions Poems


Premium Member New Year Better Be

The New Year better be, don’t make me punch your nose.
If love abounds you’ll see, no need to come to blows.
An even year of highs, except reduce my size.
Tell us the honest news, don’t make our tempers rise.

The baby born on first, the parents pay their tax.
Exemptions none for them, unlucky that’s the facts.
Hosed procrastinator, follows the patterns till.
His money pit does thrive, always another bill.

The new year bells ringing, far better than the last.
2021, thank Lord when it has passed.
Don’t want to drop the ball, social anxiety.
With the crime rate rising, and notoriety.

Ring-ring sing-a-long song, roses in peak herald.
Hearken to blooms of bless, melody apparelled.
Unparalleled color, the stunning pink showers.
Angels yield ‘22, bouquet’s scented powers.

Premium Member Big Big Slam To Racism

Eating, bathing, grooming, defecating and sleeping
All these are activities of daily living

We are breathing same air
Combing everyday our own hair
Warmed and darkened by same sun
Sleeping after a whole day is done
Shot or cut; black and blues we can have
Different type but our hearts same. It beats with blood!
One time or another we feel sad and glad!
You love games and fun. And I,too, is same!
Walk, run, talk, smile, cry: all we can do unless for some exemptions
Wholeheartedly without hesitations and inhibitions...

Captain on our own ships
Generals on our own everyday battles
Prima ballerina on our own life dance
Managers on our own businesses
Teachers on our own examples and words
Leaders on our own small or big ways
Builders and engineers of our own dreams
And much much more than we can imagine...

But...

What are those frowns?
Why are those arched eyebrows?
What are those questioning belittling look?
What and why are those foul remarks?

Different skin; different creed
Different names, different race
Different status; different styles
Different lands, different tongues
_
The bottomline is
God made me and God made you
Respect me and I will respect you
That we ought to do
No need for clue nor cue
DO RESPECT BECAUSE IT IS DUE
We are equal of dignity
Each and everyone possess a deal of integrity
All are blessed 
All are gifted with talents
Capable of enhancing a potential
And discovering any other grace
Explore! 
Taste the spice!
Speak humbly and be nice!
You maybe surprise!?!
How each and one can entice!

Therefore, you!
You who are racists!
CUT! CRACK! SLAM THAT RACISM CRAP! 
Take a stand and make it grand!
No need for plans!
Hand and hand let's make this earth a better land!

* This a terrible truth that still in this modern world we are in RACISM is still present as cruel as it was before.

Just Be

Sometimes I admire the littlest things
A simple rock. A blade of grass. 
They need no future goals, no tax exemptions
They don’t need to go anywhere or be anything
They just are. 

Sometimes, especially when I’m reading life insurance policies,
I envy the rocks and the grass
And try to be like them for a moment. 
I sit perfectly still and give myself to the wind-
And it whispers in my ear:
Just be.
And for that moment I don’t need to go anywhere or be anything.
And at the snap of my fingers, 
All the complex widgets and gizmos that make up my life
Fold into paper airplanes and fly off in the wind.

Police State

Someone asked me once what exactly is it that separates us from the socially elite or the ruling class,
and the answer she said would require real thought and that until I answered I could not pass.

It also could not pertain to a wise saying people use in passing or a notion or a clever line to sum it all up or cynically encompass it all,
but that the answer had to be definitive, direct and pertain to the actual tool used for this segregation or mildly put separation and that seeing the answer and knowing where very different but finally with the answer I must still stand tall.

Would it be crazy that the answer or name could be considered a real State or more over applicably characterized as the the 51st State but the main one of the many exceptions that comprise this State and many more like exemptions in that State is that it has no boundaries and no border,
And in politics demands for a strict criminal justice system by this socially elite especially in relation to violent and property crime as they described and through stricter criminal penalties against the have not's and then the have not's treated as depraved is this real definition of law and order.

So after very deep unbiased and original thought and after seeing all that's going on from Dallas and even many other country's and even far away in Nice
I believed that now I know the answer and I said to her "Police".

She let me pass....

Taxing Dilemma

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 too.

The poor keeps getting poorer each year.
They cannot wait for rebate, they cheer.
Sell off, early rebate.
Federal and the state,
Money now, money, for wine and beer,

Premium Member Taxmas 2016

Citizens, rise as one and rejoice,
Taxmas is come, though not by your choice.
April fifteenth, a date so sublime,
great meaning in the term, tax deadline.

Break out the pencils, erasers and paper,
it’s time for another financial caper.
Dust off that box of moldy receipts,
every year your tax routine repeats.

Set aside ethics, social obligation,
it’s time to answer the call of your nation.
Dig deep with a true spirited heart,
each man for himself right from the start.

Bring forth those fictional charity donations,
this is a time for heightened imaginations.
Donations for beer runs surely are fine,
but dollars to strippers may cross the line.

Deductions, exemptions in grand display,
try changing the numbers in every way.
Remember, the IRS is your closest friend,
they will be right by your side to the bitter end.

Fill out the tax form in clearest black ink,
every space filled with whatever you think.
Break out the checkbook; then send your check in,
pray no auditor discovers your sin.

Up To Your Irs

Up To Your IRS

My exemptions upped;
Ended up being bankrupt;
They were all corrupt.

Rice Pudding Is Popular

Rice Pudding Is Popular

 

What do you like doing in an average day?

Get up and then put your clothes away?

Also, always have to make up your bed;

Keep moving though I am a lump of lead.

 

Yougurt will be first item for you to eat

Then cup of coffee with something sweet

And finishing coffee which is followed by

Big bowl of serial that of course is dry.

 

Oh, there is something that I did miss

Write many poems before all of this

And definitely for sure without fail

Have to check and read all my email.

 

Read received emails and out none leave

God prayed to and said in Him I believe

Naturally, to God would not have lied

Why had tax exemptions been denied?

 

Around British Isles we will take a trip

What parts are best or should we skip

For very chance Jill and I would die

To meet Cooper's beneath British blue sky.


Faces were full of smiles with much cheer

After being served another round of beer

What we wanted most and surely is nice

Is plate full of pudding mixed with much rice.

Premium Member Trick Or Treat

Hallowed specters fill the air; 
goblins and ghoulies have no cares.
Hidden in the darkest night; 
creatures scramble with delight.

Glowing eyes and mournful howls; 
leave behind the hootie owls.
Specters swirling with delight; 
flit too and fro beneath street lights.

The haul they take upon this eve; 
confections that are sure to please.
If you should fail to bring delight; 
you will be tricked upon this night.

No exemptions will be given; 
lest you’ve rolled a lucky 7.
The game of Halloween has rules; 
watch and beware those nasty ghouls.

Your generosity sets you free; 
evil creatures, you won’t see.
Just children in their costumes bright;
Neath the glowing moon’s bright light.

Upon this night, you must make haste; 
there is no moment you can waste.
Don’t forget the Jack-o-lantern; 
it frightens nearly every phantom.

Premium Member Carrying Her Great Honor As a Badge Unfurled

Carrying Her Great Honor As A Badge Unfurled

She had walked years through a dark desolate world
CARRYING HER GREAT HONOR AS A BADGE UNFURLED
Dawn came that Spring with its first rays of healing lights
She suddenly found no fear of devilish nights

She stopped early morn by a clear, fast flowing stream
Joy in heart, wondering had it been a bad dream
Birds were singing, first she had heard in many years
She splashed the magnificent green grass with her tears

Stepping back on long dusty road, her smile told all
Sweet love of Life had returned after her big fall
Now retracing steps from dark horror she had fled
She could face very worst and laugh out loud instead

Her honor had led to a path of redemption
From Fate's sad decrees, she had found love's exemptions

Over the Dream

Aphrodite is worshiped by a devotion of
a past flesh- self taught to dream of 
a girl's face for my partners music

flowers in freckles with long red hair, naked
for warm lust- for the facts are absent, all
conjured by fickle thoughts

Staring to see, the elusive companion that
contemplates my needy comfortable, as  
I plunge for a lottery needle

Dropping my black magic into a enchanted feast
of temporary- wend on procreation by teen
films and Disney media

A masculine endeavor for two, hold sex down for 
biblical ethical  exemptions , solitude
is the solution of this fix

To sprout a seed, deep in black basic crawling for 
self-light-  moving the soil of souls
warm decaying energy

Sit alone to accept all my demons

Premium Member Plainly Optimistic

As sun shines brightly on the east
Symbolizes a day with hope and bliss
Visited thy heart in peace
Contentment, exclaims, please!!!

Going steadily at work
Anticipating better or worse
As hours continues its course
Minding drops of sweats pour

Face to channels of options
Up to you, for exemptions
Interruptions or motivations
Halting awhile, for deep inhalation

Smile, in between busy days
Wink and wave to things that pass by
Never ever be scared of anyone
Chill and be relax with a lullaby

Premium Member Pruned

Are we going to be pruned now like limbs left exposed naked to the elements?*

He is just a simple man
born and raised in middle America,
loves God, country, family and apple pie,
but raising his voice in public,
in Constitutionally protected
free speech, to protest Marxist idiology
taking over his government
has labeled him a potential 
domestic terrorist.

The edict has gone out
from those on high to alert the minions
in Intelligence- FBI, DHS
(isn't that what the Patriot Act
is all about).

Any who disagree with "progressive" thought will be pruned from society.

Citizens do not speak out,
do not question 
Socialist/Communist/Marxist
maxims infecting every thought 
from Congress to school boards
to neighborhood stores!

Inflation, shipping disruptions,
illegal immigration by the millions, Afghanistan debacle, kiddie p*rn in public schools, 
abortion on demand; zero through the day of birth.
Terminate the employment
of un-vaccinated nurses, doctors,
flight attendants, pilots
mother's-to-be and those with natural immunity.
No religious or health exemptions.
Keep them out of public places. 
While the President says
"No worries, all is well, all is well."

Just embrace the Great Reset!

Woe is me! 
"Show me your papers please!"

Arrested and thrown in jail, without bail
for daring to repeat this thought:
If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”**

African Love

African Love

********************************

Amongst flowers
There are roses 
Et white ixoras
Amidst stars
There is the sun
Of waters, 
There is the ocean
To rivers,
There is the Nile
To Africa
is mad dictators
And constitutionally imposed hypocrites  
For all African laws 
There are exemptions 
Amid stones, 
There are diamonds;
Blood diamonds
To fighting wars 
There are insidious conspiracies
Of getting old 
Is growing cold
And letting go
For African oxymorons 
Is both paradoxes and confused morons
Of true love is friendship set to music,
Bathing blindfolded in the dark seas
But of my African love is 
sets of musing ...
