Best Hustle Poems

Because my brilliant hooks read indirect,
But bait directly one illiterate,
They likely slip stripped fish-net intellect,
Thus, now, I’ll lure completely different:
Just like the redwood trees that grow sooooooo tall,
Gapetto’s puppet’s nose Pinocchios,
And since I’m not a strung-out ancient doll,
I guess it’s you who picks the snotty...

You have not experienced things the way I have

Because you are not me.

 My  tragedies could be your testimonies.

My Egypt may be your promised land.

All of your that girl is crazy stuff. Take it up with the big man.

My struggles are different from yours...

They call you corporate?
Well then so am I
You’re that same guy I saw pass by
And cut your eyes in my direction
Like I was some kind of menace
But we’re both lawless
I run my world from where you wouldn’t dare
You run yours from that big corner office
Same...

Sometimes life just seems too tough

Fog rolling spirits astir 
Halloween on way?
Thrills or chills? 



The day when border of our world and the otherworld
Getting thin to let allow spirits to pass through
Maybe Satan, witch or the ghouls among us
Ward off harmful spirits by wearing costumes
To disguise as harmful spirit to...

Hustle and tackle         
Stepping out                
Bright or stormy day   
Wherever I lay        ...

Hustle

I hustle 
for my muscle
I hustle for the struggle
I am made of millions
that I juggle

I hustle for the poor
that live upon rats
right next to a damaged sewer

I hustle for what is right
so the poor children of the 
future can be bright
I hustle only two things...

Tis the season to perform the holiday hustle,
The dance of store to store shopping:
To the fluttering beat of wrapping papers’ rustle,
And lyrics of children dashing to Santa’s lap to confide,
In the spotlight of tiny beams of red and green on every tree;
To perform the prance...

Epigram #63:  

HUSTLE


Bamboo leaves rustle
Windy moves tussle
Late notes bring hustle

In years past and now, and those to also come
Close by, afar, where’er , all men are one
Thus affined well to all ‘good things’ on earth
And give their lives to hunting down some pence

He is aspired by her, and she is too
But not by him,...

THE ELEVATION OF TODAY'S GENERATION
By:  Sikolwethu Mthethwa

Burning hotter than the flames of a furnace,
Surpassing the depths of the hollows beneath Earth's face,
Rumbling more violently than a million earthquakes.
Delicately constructed by our young minds 
And conceived by our hearts.
It is more valuable than gold mines
Nothing...

A joyride 
Like that of a high speed rail
We may take our partners
Our small children 
Or our old parents
For a joyride
Looking around
Scenery and nature
People and crowd
Shops and houses
Cars and buses
Highways and lanes
All are eye-catching
After a long time confining to 
Walls and beds
While people are still...

I don't know why you feel you gotta lie

just cause you say - it really ain't that way
doesn't make it so - well you outta know

you think your one up, it's just another come up
here is...

Back in upstate New York
she was a girl with stars in her eyes
She hopped a freight out westward
And tried Vegas on for size

Off strip hotels, little shows
Young Delores danced with glee
She was working in Las Vegas
the home of Jubilee

"Do you have a minute folks?'
"Do you...
