Best Links Poems
We are all broken
into separate pieces
Brothers uncles
mothers and nieces
Fractured ways of thinking
Cool-aide drinking
Caught between
real and false
Can you feel we’re all sinking
False prophets
We have become our own religion
relying only on ourselves
for every decision
Believing the answer
is accomplished through division
We fools stopped seeking wisdom
Too big a gap
between higher and lower
The world moves fast
but our thinking grows slower
The rich protect themselves
in their high tower
Unrest grows hour by hour
Who in the end
do you think holds the power?
So crumbs are thrown
to the masses
But that won’t stop
the clashes of the classes
Change is happening so slow
it flows like molasses
There are too many people
sheltered in under passes
Plastic dollars are of no use
No one will be left
to pay Caesars taxes
Black, brown
yellow and white men
When will they
see clearly again?
Will each own the other’s pain?
Red blood flows within each vein
This current world order
is impossible to maintain
Every man woman and child
is an important part of the chain
They all need love,
food, shelter, sunshine and rain
Top heavy systems will topple
under the strain
When it does
we will all have to begin again.
If we think this is working
We are no longer sane.
At an essential level we’re all the same
can’t you feel
We’re circling the drain?

This passing year, another one of love and joy
with family...some sadness too within our hearts.
Good health, accomplishments, rewards we did enjoy.
But oh, our golden chain of friendships fell apart.
Some links within our golden chain were lost this year;
last year had twelve and now are left with only eight.
Our chain has weakened as we share each heartfelt tear.
Those missing links have made us more aware of fate.
Within one year, two gentlemen to heaven went;
their widows, still our dearest friends, we now embrace.
Another from our group with legs too weak and spent,
confined to home, too painful to keep up the pace.
And too, her dear companion...twenty years and more,
has moved so far away to live with daughter since
dementia has now settled in; our hearts are sore
to see him leave; we surely miss our gentle prince.
So often we spend time together out to eat;
our smaller group of golden links still joined with hands.
But oh, those empty seats, whenever we do meet,
make us aware how just one year can change life's plans.
Our chain has weakened as we share each heartfelt tear.
But still, eight left, our links hold tight to face next year.
Trump's golf course has a Miss Fore Play
Who's on the tease most every day
At a random hole
She swallows a pole
To the chant and cheers of, "au lait!"
Did you ever try growing minks?
Or writing poems with kinks?
With dark or colored inks?
And soft and lightened pinks?
Write messages that links,
With the Mysterious Sphinx?
Get on a boat that sinks?
Use metals made of zinc's?
Go skating at the rinks?
"AW," you say, "That stinks!"
For that, my eye now winks!
And I'll just put a jinx,
On anyone that blinks!!!

The morn sun sings
a joyful song
for the children of Earth to enjoy.
The sleek fingers
of enlightment
paint a thousand smiles on a road
that was embedded in our palms.
My thoughts still hold
to those nights, when I chain-smoked the stars
that promised me to find my old sway
against a virulent wind of solitude.
Ah, the morn sun
sing a joyful song and when it does not
gray is the color of night.
He Slinks Over The Links
He raced to the first golf hole, par he winks
Three wild shots later a turkey gobbles
Cuss words escape his lips, as his drives stink
Another dying duck's hit, as his legs wobble
Ploop, another drink of the pond, how awful

Inspired after reading entries to-Write about an activity as if you are doing it at the moment
Links of chain intertwine
Strong and sturdy, all one of a kind
Some may break with the passing of time
But the ones that hold are true lifelines.
surrounding us we know of her
screaming like the chosen one
each we see the nations cure... See More
gleaming like the chain links son
protecting visions she only sees
reflecting decisions of evils greed
the chain link son will die tonight
the pain we pun will fly in sight
and clocks they stop as time does cry
as tears run down the chosen eye
the natives son kneels down to you
the chain links done and starts anew
his heart stopped dead as she died too
the wild crow cried for nows the true
as chain links son protects the dew
of mother natures blood thats blue
as chain links done
he died for you
A little of it
Then a leeway
You carried the day
So smart.
But a little of it
Is never okay
There shall come a day
To protect it.
As defence
You put up another
To cover up the former
Then peace?
Soon it dies
How can it last
When it was built
On links of lies?
Sea water, crisp ... cold!
Like chain-links round my ankles
A coastline amble
Smooth touch close to the heart
The light pressure to check for symptoms
The warmth of heat that comes to feel
Her whimsical methods of breath
She can hear the slowness of peace
No strife or anger in the voice
A motivation that pulls the sickness away
She listens to every pain and sorrow
Mothers never stray from her children's voice
Always ready to feed, to listen
A cough concerns her will an intuition
Caring without notice, that is mother
She understands the scar that lays
Even when silent she knows her child
Every word every smile and giggle
It gets absorbed by listening with care
Mother always looks and never delays
If delayed it is that she was listening
The obvious is her way to track
Listening to the beckoning calls 24/7
Celibate to love
Attachments entrapment
Suffocates accepting expectation
Felicitous suppressants seem vague yet expecting acceptance to gleam
obediently wile anger continues to...
Our bond pulsates as days and nights are misinterpreted.
Inquiry demonstrates how to be a suitable leech
sucking patience from the reins of guided discontent.
Joined at the hip
Severed near the center
Dissected underneath.
What was once yoked to one another now hinges upon swollen pressure
The trembling heat of predictability examines the idea of being apart.
Broken rust the smell
Ripped apart in stillness
Should have left well enough alone at first.
i let life pass me by
even though each day i cry
holding my life deep inside
the pain is never going to pass by.
even though you lied
its not going to change my mind.
I love you so much, nothing will change that.
Meditate while quietly humming a love song
Colors of love are added on top and are strong
Strive to straighten out the twisted lost links
An unlocked door awaits you; just buy drinks.
Draw in and don't leave until the conclusion
A breeze that was bringing a feeling of sorrow
Wet and fragrant, the sadness of tears
On the sites, we hugged to dispel fears.
Lilies picked from yards, bold snake unless
The effort to earn peace is a benign progress
In the pandemonium, it is veiled, so soon success
It can live by sucking life and smiling in distress.
Silence and havoc, dying in the process
when peace comes and the fighting is over
A huge blast of fireworks will cover
Akin to a rain of stars, sparks will scatter.
And, like many lost lives, will fade away
Each explosion should remind humanity
of mankind's exquisite fragility.
Resting under the willow moon
Our lost souls long for rebirth and swoon
We have paid all our debts to the devil
Only crystal tears remain on a different level.
We will endure until the situation changes
We will relive under the healing sun's range.
