Best Livelihood Poems
How we want from the Omniscient god
To bless us with a scale of one
Livelihood
By our ignorance,
And in what we let to know
From Almighty
We knew
That what good for one Tree
Of water
Spoiling an other one
In life
Form:
The electrician’s pliers
Shields him from live wires
And a final baptism with Satan’s fires.
A mechanic’s spanner
Is his goddamned banner
Dropping him his daily manna.
At the carpenters shop is his treasured hammer
Which begins the entire drama,
Into existence hitting woodwork of Glamour
The judge’s wig
Adds to his being big,
Justice sometimes seeming an election to rig
A poor man’s poor health becomes his curse
And when his wife isn’t a nurse
Continually translates into a dryer of purse.
A Good Livelihood
Many things in life have become good,
And one I do like the best is livelihood;
With others share;
Needed everywhere;
Would be nice to have if we only could.
Jim Horn
Forthy innocent people
were heinously shut down,
the surly morning was about to rain,
then sunrise came and mothers wailed;
I also wept for their death as that tolling bell...
the flag they loved was lowered
halfstaff, a crowd gathered and sang!
Soldiers loyal to their cruel king
pulled the triggers obeying him, the accused
weren't allowed to show a cause for their insurgence,
but they choose death over submission and obedience;
who's thirsty for blood is condemned
by God, His children are equal and sacred,
and their loss is remembered on a morose morning
that saw their warm blood gushing
from their wounds, so there they lay with open eyes
and stretched hands not hearing their beloved' cries!
Yesterday they were as free as the soaring eagles,
their land with its forests and lush meadows
made them smile and increase their pride of inheritance;
did they suspect an invasion from the Northern king* who was
envious and thirsty for dominion and gold...
stealing their happiness and livelihood?
They gallantly fought and refused to be silenced,
and they vowed to defend what was theirs without hesitance!
*King Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy connected the South (the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies ) to the Kingdom of Italy.
The fishing village
draws its life from the ocean
which is a rich source.
