Best Greediest Poems


Playing Possum Poker

Politics is a cat-and-mouse poker game,
	     Some play it well,
others not so much
Amateurs show their hidden hand,
they got an easy-to-spot tell
But the old pros are the best cons,
selling you wet dreams from a dry well
It’s a two-party poker game in the...

The Eating Habits of Vanilla Gussett
I am me!

I am beautiful greediest me!

I'm quite simply gigantic, enormous, colossal- bigantic!

I'm huge I'm not small I could fill Albert hall -

What a beautiful thing to be me.

 

I can eat a cake shop in one sitting

Forty boxes of chocs without quitting,

If I had...

Premium Member Audacity of Man
What splendid creatures God has formed.
I think of whales who swim above the silt,
giants of the sea that are cruelly harmed,
harpooned from life by men without guilt.

An industrious creature God has made
in the miniscule form of the worker ant,
hustlers gathering, never rest in the shade
while...

Where Greed Hides Herself
the people's money
they called it porked
inside a barrel 
that can be inserted 
on the greediest pockets
tax from sweat and blood
of the working class
that strive
to find conforts in life
to help the poor as they reasoned

long greed had consumed
the country that i call my love
that the money...

Termite Jill
(Dedicated to all booklovers who have lost their loved ones to the scourge of the termite hordes - I did)

I thought I was a bibliophile
and indulged in pedantic boasts
I'd speak of ancient tomes and stuff
revel in Academia's toasts

horror of horrors I discovered
a lover of books...

Premium Member The Saint Patrick Day Leprechaun
Dragon sat in the bushes all night long, for he wanted to catch himself a Leprechaun.
See Leprechauns have gold by the buckets full, and Dragon wanted himself… some.
So our sly little Dragon had put a lit up rainbow, on our garage door, to be cast...

Corporate Whores and Company Men
corporate whores & company men

hollowed out somewhere along the line,
sitting on the shelf, waiting for the promised
glory, 
every bit of style designed by others pushing
them like the most savage drug on the 
“naïve public,”
every step on the ladder covered in bling
luring in the greediest of...

Hold On Tight
Hold on tight,
get ready for the storm,
better seek shelter,
a place safe from harm.
It is upon us,
inflation gone wild,
bull is everywhere,
pile after pile.
What has happened,
I fell into a hole,
I know what Alice,
in a Fairy Tale told.
Everyday, is something new,
no one,
anywhere,
knows what to do.
Throwing money,
into a bottomless...

Welcome To the Time Warp
Welcome to the Time Warp

Does it seems that history seemingly repeats 
Where the simplicity of life is so rare to find
And the kindness of heart finds no retreats
No sharing of wealth, greediest of mankind 

Where fear amongst the masses abound
Perpetrated by forces designed to protect...

Premium Member Hate Crimes
When is hate,
voiced and aggressively acted out,
not a crime
victimizing all us criminals,
convicted and otherwise?

Should we criminalize
fear of fundamentalists
or anger about presumably predative aliens
or anxiety about internal
and external
climate changes
or worry about long-term costs compared to short-term benefits
of violent revolutions
in lives outside our narrow ego walls?

How does...

Save Our Rain Forest
There are so many people pleading cases.
I am sure these facts speak for themselves
When I say there are very few places
Where man hasn't built bridges with strong
Braces
For man is one of the greediest races.
There are pilots who are known as aces.
They know where there are...

Lilac Orbs
Words silent turn at the melodic tunes
Oozing from the lush lilts of your eyes;
Telling of stung lover’s anthems warm,
Of the rapt poet whose scribbling dies. 

Windows into realms old lyricists laud,
Whereon Love and Truth twain thrive;
Each by doubtful duplicities unscarred,
Unsullied by decays of greediest drive....
