Best Foreclosures Poems

as the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair
while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE
– silver yachts, pearly castles, cash (plenty to spare) –
with the world on OUR backs... ah! the burdens WE bear!

being HAVES (not the have-nots) as nature decrees
means WE’re...

Well, I see that Congress is proposin' another trillion dollar spree!
Those inept buffoons must think money grows upon a tree!
The treasury is crankin' out bales of twenty-dollar bills,
Doin' their part to cure (and inflate) the nation's many ills!

Funds were 'loaned' to help carmakers, now they're...

President Barak Obama has an economic stimulus plan 
to move the nation out of this financial quicksand
with foreclosures and jobs lost the situation is depressing
over $700 billion to get us out of this recession

but I know that all my help comes from the Lord
and God...

We ask God’s blessings for food we eat;
those who toil to grow it deserve our prayers too.
In 1985, Farm Aid musicians took their beat,
rocking in donations for those who grew
in debt, not just crops, as mortgages came due.

Mellencamp cried out, “97 families lost 97 farms!”
Just...

Fables; to dream these seemingly impossible things!?

A compiling compound upon the pages of a lifes, forever tarnishing of stories....

Drinking this mixture of both poison and cure; night after night and, day...

They travel
Distances
To work at the new factory
At the mall
To sell
To persuade
To show 
To ring up sales
To stock shelves
And keep merchandise neat and attractive.

Customers 
Look
Touch
Examine
Feel and perhaps
Buy.

Standing on their feet 
Workers wonder
How does an 
An $8.00 an hour job
Minus benefits
Zero coverage
Negative career
Compute
In their lives?

Their parents had...

When life takes hold of you no mercy given  
        Foreclosures popular , the new age to walk ..driven
        When your nerves are shattered

Time passes slowly as I wander the streets

Gas and food prices soaring high  
Cars towed into the middle of the night 
Foreclosures stealing neighborhoods ,
 Soup kitchens provide free food
Jobs are scarce,  illegal immigrants are not 
 Overcrowded tenement buildings with attitude
Drug lords...

The world we live in is no joke.
 Everything we have is going up in smoke.

 The world's money is tight,
 foreclosures have no end in sight.

 Bankers gotta make deals
 Car makers can't grip their wheels.

 The world is at war and still there's...

How dare you desecrate the Capitol with urine and feces!
Even filthy pigs refuse to defecate near their own dwelling place.
How dare you flaunt confederate flags, grim reminders of our bloody history, 
Alongside swastikas, hate symbols banned in Germany.
		
How dare you engage in red versus blue...

It seems you could never stay out of a casino.
As soon as you got paid, that is where you would go.
Your life became dependent on the roll of the dice.
Each crap table visited was as cold as ice.
Your financial ability was shrouded with doubt.
The money...

the water in the teapot is boiling &
the top is rattling---
as the hot steam begins to bubble out
the piercing scream is coming---
14+ million out of work
no universal health insurance
foreclosures upon foreclosures
(just in time for the “holiday season”) &
the 
99%
have
had
it---
while the mainstream media does its best

Turning the parchments pages

Of this tearstained scroll

Bombast tales, never, have I ever spoke

The writings of palladians life, unfolds

Beyond the reasons and beyond the rhymes

And beyond this once somnolent night

In front of the crowds, I have stood

Bowing toward these everbearing eversions

These sombered encores, for the disemboweled

Deafened...

It's dark, and gloomy, and gray
The pall of the world shed tears on the grass
The cloud is a curtain all day

Winter is coming, the foreclosures won't pass
I long to sweat again in May
Florida is more sand than clay....

POEMS THAT MAKE NO SENSE—2

their flesh bears no scars
only coldness forgotten
and bizarre
never pealing layers
of bleeding hearts
no strings attached
just beings from 
odd spaceplaces
dead and dying to
be done with it
all in all their souls
are very still like
blotting paper
absorbing the pink
and blue emotions
of litmus reviews..

Blank…

landscapes on which to
pursue...
