Best Monopolizing Poems
Well they are here again
Knocking on my door
Monopolizing my television
Decorating my neighbors homes
Blitzing me at every store
And corner in every city and hamlet
Between here and Buzzard Beak, Idaho.
It’s like a virus
A pandemic
Santa Claus is coming to town
Well I’ve been bad, very bad
And if that bastard shows up at my house
He ain’t getting cookies and milk
I’m been talking to Jesus and he tells me
That Santa is a fake, a sham, a trick on the poor people
He’s just a way to make the rich richer and poor poorer
So I ask Jesus “Why do you let this happen?”
And he smiles and tells me a long story about faith and forgotten dreams.
Then he fades back into the egg nog and I sleep with the devil.
Fitful dreams and reindeer back strap for breakfast
I eat the fake snow and regurgitate the Christmas balls
Burn the tree and bury the trimmings
The fat man can’t intimidate me.

This feedlot of ancestral glitter
how tiresome, now a rummaged litter
a mitigated financed quitter
the addict, driven to mass rid stir!
As nature's boundaries pray beauty
the homeward bound, lost soul's forced duty
is to give in, give up, take booty
as dignity's rebuff thrives loosely!
Monopolizing wealth's consider
the numbers game, let live on bitter
your choice is here, from us, don't quiver
but take the drug, that made you sicker!
The addicts prayer is but a flicker
of hope to ride out, faith's endeavor,
as saying NO, still presses lever
insidious pressures force is ever!
The pushers living off receivers
to modify their conscious efforts
then vandalize the paycheck's rather
and hypnotize feeling together!

Join the Resistance
Counter the forces
that are monopolizing
contemporary societies
Fight for what is right
Be a lighthouse
for all to see
Sound the bell to
wake us all up
Question the bourgeoisie
with all of their
rules and regulations
Live outside the box- - - - -
Become an Outrider
Contemplate your actions
Make them powerful, forceful
Keep up the pressure
Don't give in
Replenish your energy
with an eye
towards the heavens
Always be peaceful with
no harm to anyone

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces
Peacefully going about
Your business
Magical make-believe
Monarchs of the sea
Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march
Moonstruck prone to
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing
In monotonous monotony
Mediocrely misconstruing
Mischievous mongrels
And misconceiving misplayed
Merciless minutiae
But merry merciful
Momentous messengers of love
Marketable motive and
Mission to mirthfully mate
You mavericks matched
To mettlesome mistresses
Masqueraded maroon
From menacing mercenaries
Marvelously masterful
Is your mimed courtship dance
Mellifluous entwining
Matrimonial love embraces
Mounting and moving
Mimicking moody miscreance
Swaying to measureless
Maudlin melancholic melodies
Monopolizing methodical
Momentum and motion
A meticulously modulated
Mellow match of merging
A most memorable metaphysical
Millennium melodrama

Alliteration
HERETIC
'Tis known you're not all there, all of the time,
but I'm submissive; more than I should be;
though heretic somewhat, 'twould be a crime;
in my belief, you're not more than I see.
My failing in your eyes, 'tis life to me,
my very breath, the only way I know
of reaching you, where-in I wish to be,
my being not all there, I choose from Go.
Please take my hand, and make our journey slow
throughout our way, we'll not believe in time;
'tis but a guage, mere numbers few could know
would bring the end, to life, the constant climb.
And through forever, we'll not hold on Go;
Monopolizing everything we know.

MY VALENTINE RITUALS
A day set aside
Only for love to tangle
A day where gifts are exchanged
All in the name of love
A day where love is confessed willingly
A day that increases birth rate
A day where lies reign supreme
A day where truth are rarely spoken
How many valentine dates have you this year?
I remember those yesteryears where I count
In double figures my valentine dates
Lies in all its shades comes into play
Deceit in all its forms void my thought
My specs & species are divided into three folds
Classified in order of priority
Some plays in the league of Pre-Valentine
Such are told the lies of my travelling
Before and on the valentine day
With pomp, pageantry on red roses
They celebrate their valentine with me
A day or two days before valentine
For the fortunate lady set aside to play
On the special day of Valentine
She still do not have the luxury
Of monopolizing the day to herself alone
My Valentine day is broken into three
The ones that will dine with the King
During Breakfast, others during Lunch
And the last set are the ones for Dinner
Oh, I see you sigh for me!
Sexual intercourse is not a key element
The day is of love
I share mine amongst three or four ladies
Stop!!! don't judge me yet
I am not the ladies man
I am just the man that ladies love to hate
The last fold are the players of Post-Valentine
Those that basks in the basket of lies
That I travelled on Valentine day
Those here are not of after thought
They are fed with lies of my travelling
For one occasion or the other
Even weeks before Valentine
It was primarily my University days
Where I stayed in two campus hostels
And two off campus hostels
These hostels are abattoirs for the butchers
We are the butchers... King of the jungle
A Don at my own game

The Kid had been arrested along with The Boys and Jesse Evans.
All were being charged with cattle rustling.
It was John Tunstall's livestock that had been stolen,
and he intended to press charges against all of them,
until he happened to see William H Bonney.
He seemed so out of place with this gang of ruthless thieves.
Mr Tunstall then spoke with the Kid privately.
"I will drop all charges against you for your testimony,
that my livestock was stolen by this gang of thieves,
afterward you're welcome to come and work for me.
Room and board will be absolutely free,
and you will earn a decent salary honestly."
Billy Bonney readily agreed
and so John Tunstall had the Kid released.
When they arrived at Tunstall's home he had a gift for the Kid,
a rifle and a horse complete with saddle gear and blanket.
This unexpectedly brought tears to the Kid's eyes.
"What's wrong son?" Mr Tunstall asked surprised.
"Nobody," said the Kid, "has ever given me anything in my life."
John Tunstall would become Billy's mentor.
John wrote home to his family the following in a letter,
"That kid never ceases to amaze me.
There isn't anything in the world he won't do to try and impress me.
I'm going to make one hell of a man out of that kid one day,"
but tragically John Tunstall got blown away,
by the ruthless monopolizing competition.
Partners Lawrence Murphy and Jimmy Dolan
sent a merciless gang of corrupt lawmen
to John Tunstall's ranch and murdered him.
Billy's second chance for a better life was no more.
John Tunstall's murder ignited The Lincoln County War.

Rhyme
On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.
Together we just bought this square of land.
Monopolizing from
People who landed to hear the wave’s drum
People who landed to hear the ocean rumble
Making it last.
So this game doesn’t go to fast.
Richer by the time
People land on the boardwalk and pay a little more than a dime.
This is the boardwalk palace.
This boardwalk for my king.
And I shall be your Queen
On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.
Profiting more than money from this land.
More than beauty, riches, and power
But the one thing that really towers
Love
And the memories
On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.

A game we were all born to play
Comes out of the closet today
It's right there next to the game of "Life"
It's "MONOPOLY" and it's mine
Find the token that lets you fit the part
Let us all line up on Start
Shove the dice around to see who is first
Then away we Go in a running spurt
When I get famous I am going to market pieces
That walk, run and roll making happy faces
And and make the time go
As steadily as the games races
And when I get to Boardwalk
I know what I am going to do
Through everything into hock
And build it all a new
There's nothing in this world like the talk
When little green houses come up wanting rent from a shoe
Thats you, owing rent, to a millionaire with something to prove
So break out the chalk
It's time we take a walk
And discuss
All the things you can do
Don't fuss
Is that violet, purple or maroon
I'll take it up for the bill anyways
Use it to build more over there by Park Place
Building a great hotel open to the human race
Now Mr. Banker isn't there something else to sell
I swear you'll my rent or go straight to Jail

This positive psychology of political empowerment,
both/and contrasted with economic and political disempowerment
through millennia of Left Brain dominant enculturation,
brings us into each mindful conscious moment
of empathic political trust,
faith in healthy Left/Right bicameral co-empathic powers
potentiating within Ego's psyche
to find relational and transactional (economic) powers
within the public and private domains,
landscapes networking positively toward climate health,
interior as exterior,
EgoYang within as Earth's Yin-ReGenerative Abundance
empowering ecological nutrition without.
Powers to love,
to mentor what we all wish to become,
to give forward this co-redemptive health and nutrition,
and not ever-more privately condemning,
and publicly criminalizing, marginalizing, eviscerating powers
of ego-monocultural monotheistic monopolizing power-over intent.
Positive balanced psychology
produces healthy democratic public sector power-with discourse,
discernment,
judgment intended for helpful and kind multicultural ecotherapy,
with the only Loser being pathological
ecopolitical
cognitive-affective dissonance,
writ LeftBrain enculturation large
as ecopolitical competition deemed more evolutionarily efficacious
than cooperative Left/Right bicameral
power nature-Yang dipolar co-arising ecological nurturing Yin
balancing co-empathic faith in Original Intent
of time's self-regenerative empowerment of ecopolitical consciousness.

When holistic
interdependent
sacred
joyfully compassionate Earth integrity
remains EarthTribe's primal vision,
polycultural meaning,
panentheistic networking purpose,
reconciling win/win peak experiences,
Then past win/lose unreconciled dark histories
remain our potential win/win
co-messianic challenge
To not settle too quickly
comfortably
into agreeing to disagree,
continuing autonomous
individual ego-supremacist perspectives
long familiar with "just us tribal folks"
truly

seek resilient redemption
from those other
unenlightened past oppressors
colonizers

To openly
holistically
systemically repair disuniting trauma,
to actively reweave reconciling therapies,
to reconnect
to re-ligion
what monotheistic
monopolizing
monoculturing
capitalizing Truth
patriarchal Adoration
has blown apart
with colonizing dreams of privileged
Divine AnthroSupremacist Paradise...
What this unreconciling timeless form
of unflowing constipation has stolen,

It feels sadly ironic,
and unwise,
to focus healthcare
on digestive system deliveries
to feed and water our bodies
And underinvest,
too rarely applaud
and enrich
nurturing nutrition communications
made through our neural-sensory systems
natural/spiritual health care deliveries
and wealth care receptions
from abundantly compassionate
panentheistic worldviews
In contrast
too nihilistically narcissistic
survivalist
monotheistically supremacist
supporting monoculturing
monopolizing LeftBrain verbal dominance

A porky problem
worth resolving
Is our scientifically hoggish evolutionary
survivalist assumption
that all Creatures that Matter
would highest and best
usefully support AnthroPrivileged
rabidly expanding WealthCare
EcoPolitical Systems
Monopolizing EarthMother's breastmilk
and extracting fertile fuel
from her commercialized
and marginalized,
raped
and enslaved ****.
Pigs in a mud-warmed pond
experience a health care system
without monotheistic meaning
and not intending
or pretending
any monopoly rights to embodied pleasure,
much less spiritualized Paradise
As deeply as we can communicate
only AnthroGods and their Goddess Concubines
believe in our immortal EarthRights
to entitled lives that exclusively matter
for EarthMother's healthiest wealth
resilient solidarity
and resonant synergy.
Swine, by compassionate comparison,
gladly show us
more resilient thrival instincts
than avoiding the Killing Butcher
by feeding and pushing our piglets
toward a capital-fueled Trauma Machine
As any pig would know,
survival of the fattest
is not necessarily as enlightened
or empowering
as we might
whole herd EarthTribe
together sacred grow
In cooperative mindfulness,
EarthTribal integrity,
solid
resilient synergy,
with the copassionate mindfulness
of a mystified
post-partum sow.
