Best In Your Best Interests Poems


Premium Member Ungrateful Child
I woke up that day with tears in my eyes,
after I heard about your father's demise.
Guess you've never understood,
the point of being his blood.

I remember when your mother left,
how he was totally bereft.
Ran off with the man next door,
not once did he call her a...

A Matter of Convenience
A grove of magnolias perfumes the air
as they sit absorbed in one another's gaze,
she with her crochet and he with his collectibles
uneasy in their pleasure in the evening of their years.

Lawyers control their affairs like vultures slavering 
their prey, waiting to swoop when the timing...

When a Man Loves a Woman
When a man loves a woman..

He listens to how she’s feeling more than what she’s saying,
He will put her needs and desires before his own,
He will let her into his heart, and work to get into hers,
He will reinforce her as a woman, build her...

Premium Member Dear Republicans For God and Country
Thanks for your letter
asking for a free Taoist consult
on how to bring God talk
and experience
back into our Big Agri-MilitantIndustrialized Busyness Schools
and possibly our extended family lives,
on into our inside Holy of Holies,
our Climates of PanEntheistic EarthSoul Health.

I do wish you had asked me 
before giving...

Premium Member The Overseers
They sit high – very high
in their echelons of such great importance,
where they can look down 
on us
(all the millions of us excluded
from their exclusive group) -
from the penniless and the ever-struggling souls
to the middle class and even
to many of the upper classes -
Oh, the...

Premium Member Moms
Moms are special folks with no other quite as dear;
For her child she'll face anything regardless of her fear.
Her children are her life, her purpose, and her reason;
Her Love is never out of style nor in need of any season.

She gives every day from her...

In days of yore when I was four, in my memory I'm sure
 there was nothing that you could buy called low fat
you got meat from a cow, and pork from a sow,
pound of lamb from NZ and that was that.
Butter from a pack, there...

Bezirke
“Bezirke”



Bit by bit 
we build our walls
strict little districts
to pin our minds on
and keep the paper tigers out

Political Romantics
counting sheep 
and numbers 
we walk in our sleep
dreaming of doors

Opening inward
externally we are Bezirke
socialised in a stolen concerto
solo instruments with flat musical 
composition, indoctrinated

sucked in
sucked up
hypnotised...

Premium Member Heroes and Villains
Everyone's great cause
projects them as our future's therapeutic hero.
So all against our health-intending causes
reject us as potential victimizers,
ostracizers,
impeachers,
disenfranchisers,
excommunicators,
criminalizers.

The trick is to see antagonists,
sources of trauma,
as part of protagonist causes you,
resource for therapy,
actively seeking out each other
as possible co-redeemer heroes
resolving differences together,
with good faith
in divinely interrelated...

"LETTER OF INNER RE-EVALUATION"

As I think about the future moving forward, it seems that I miscalculated the opportunity laid before me. In this moment of strife and turmoil, should I act, without taking a full examination into what use to be, or at least I...

Premium Member Comments On Crooked Politicians
Empty promises waft effortlessly through the air
The vacuous bleating of self-important bloviators,
Who claim the best interests of the noble citizenry
Uppermost in their clever, plotting minds who dare

To seek approval from the greater masses at the polls,
While thinly disguising their not-so-quixotic intentions.
Such troublesome breaches in the...

Premium Member God's Love - Simply Divine
How do you start to describe God's love?
a love that no human can ever produce
it has to be experienced to be known
no amount of good works will be of use

This love shows God as a heavenly father
who always does well for His own
their best interests...

Premium Member Arms Race
We've heard all about the stockpiling,
the toilet rolls, lettuce and beans,
but secretly more of this is going on
unnoticed, and behind the scenes.
The Government, in our best interests,
(which translates they take us for mugs)
have warehouses scattered all over the place
in which they are stockpiling hugs.
They've seen...
