Premium Member Characterization
Our two party system isn’t working
Plastic figures, disaster lurking
Conservative or liberal isn’t the call
It’s the ultra rich against us all
For the people is what it’s not
All candidates have already been bought
Platforms built on promises and lies
Hear the people, ignore their cries
Wave that flag as if...

Question Number Eight
With spring approaching quickly and milk is upon the rise,
our factory employs seasonal workers to resize,
the employee pool to accommodate the milk intake,
which means twenty-four by seven with such a lot at stake.

The milk dryer needed packers and more cleaners on the floor.
There’s a need...

Premium Member A Witch-Hunting We Will Go
Puritans gather in Congress' hallowed halls, faces glum
   Trampling truth, blowing horns, banging drums
      Of blazing envy, wrath, and sloe-eyed sleaze

Pelosi-Schumer's moralizing minions on their knees
   Digging up dirt on disapproved-of nominees

     Perfect cone remains sober
           Fury hides beneath



















The subject is one of the active volcanoes
in my homeland, Philippines.  Proud to be

EcoMinisters of Earth Rights
CoArise!

EcoLogicians of resilient encircling might
CoArise!

EcoLegislators of bicameral balancing disposition
CoArise!

What is our highest and best CommonSense
of currently elected policy-choosers?
Where are our optimal health outcomes 
of proactive CommonSense?
What does vast emptiness of positive results
suggest about the CommonSense
of our bipolarizing electorate?

Premium Member Seeking 2020 Vision
My son, nearly twenty,
living at home while attending community college,
without prospects of healthier, more robust, alternatives,
believes it is now past time
for pollsters to cast aside their neutral professional agendas
and play a more positive role
in educating this co-invested international polity.

So, ask not just Who are you...

Premium Member Getting Into It
Where have you been?
We stopped taxing investments in worker-owned cooperatives
decades ago.
They all have missions to do one or two of two possible things,
To recycle matter to highest use
with least carbon-based effort/loss of reinvestment values,
And to repurpose creatures, great and small,
to highest and deepest multiculturally healthy...

Bangalore-My Dream Destination
Sprawling green gardens super 
Brilliant, breezy cool weather 
Bustling busy night life 
Clubbing culture that does strike 
Thriving tech talent pool 
With culture uniquely cool 
Fastest growing tech hub 
City of many clubs and pub 
Millennial-friendly city rocks 
A magnificent megacity just laughs 
City of...

Premium Member The Leadership Convention
When potable water nearly disappeared,
good faith communities
for healthy living 
water,
Earth,
people,
plants,
soil,
air,

Fire-breathing resistance churches
and calmer rapture temples,
synagogues,
mosques,
green post-millennial sanctuaries,
Gaian ecofeminist fire-circles
gathered their members and neighboring allies,
republican nationalists,
green democrats,
ecosystemic libertarian zeroists,

To discuss and discern
which potential Presidential
and Vice-Presidential candidates to nominate
for next year's Master Facilitator
and EcoFeminist WiseElder duo
for local...

Contest
Collect the word stones
That match up on the beach
Launch each skipping
Against the waves
Literate the words
From the sandy walls
Roll them through your finger
Put them into the water
They will splash your face
Visit with the judges
Match up the sea stars
Dress up the nominees
Listen to the seashells
Touch the sunset
That's...

Premium Member Another Racism Forum
Our Black Lives Matter team was hosting
another monthly forum on racism,
as regularly scheduled,
anti-patriarchal business as usual.

The facilitator opened with a question,
asking for a show of hands.

"If you had to choose
between two nominees for public office,
or any form of executive leadership,
one promising multicultural compassion
and the other...

Jealousy Forever
Seeing his rival celebrity on the screen, 
He is with envy green;
By him thought a fortunate being,
Of all nominees their Faculty’s Dean;
Only thirty years ago did his mother him wean.
A reason to be starving and be forever lean;
For facial expression keep wearing “The Mean”
No occasional...

Night Guard Dogs
Hark!
It’s getting dark!
Long gone to nest, the lark…
But for the mongrels
Good nominees for Satan’s laurels,
Just for their vicious teeth that spark,
Time to interminably bark
And liberties take
With canines; uncanny mark
That resilient flesh break,
On their victims in amusement parks
Producing un-amusing facsimile of shark’s.
Night guard dogs,
Forever, I have...
