Best Opportunities Poems

It's a time to pack away your sad face,
And slow down the race,
To a walking pace.

It's time to remember the good life,
Put away your knife,
And do something nice.

It's time to play your part,
By showing you have a heart,
So, others won't depart.

It's time to hold off...

My mama once told me that everywhere I go
There's an opportunity it flies in the air
Waiting for me to reach it
That was seven years ago
Seven years ago, I was ten years old
I was young enough that mama was my hero
I saw her death bed in...

Testing times for the masses
Testing surprises? wrong passes
Friends on paper turned foes
WHO was there and knows

Sellouts in for the kill
Digital tracking at the till
Liberties lost, the new normal
Curfew and lockdown now formal...

opportunities
 
mean leaving your comfort zone- 

sometimes taking risks

 Four things come not back:
the spoken word;  the sped arrow;
time past; the neglected opportunity.

Omar Ibn Al-Halif, Aphorism

On a beautiful Fall day-  I went for a café,
pushing open the shop door, I bumped into a man,
pardon me, I said shyly (for he...

A liberal mind for love
seeks Earth's nurturing nest origins
astoundingly opportune for producing healthy ego-nutritional eggs.

A conservative risk taker,
faced with ego's opportunity
to fly away from mortal risk
to autonomous long-term, or at least short-term, self survival
or fight to WinEgo/LoseEco-Other pyric victory,
thereby sees ego's Win/Win in-between opportunity
to produce...

I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed
nightmare worst way 
to conscientiously drop wrong dead.

Mine is claustrophobi-recallish buried
half alive at best is worse
in a wooden rough pine crate.

I'm feeling angry with those who raped,
then buried me black in here,
because I no longer have commercial value

Hers was a complete change of personality, moods, and friends
Her joyful happy self, turned rapidly sarcastic, mean, and secretive
Her eating habits changed; she did not need food any more.
Stopped eating with the family, painted her room black.

Threw her flute into the garbage. She had outgrown...

Concealed within each obstacle
Lay opportunities.
Recognizing them, oft times,
Require thinking outside the box;
It seems that opportunity rarely knocks
At an opportune time,
And seldom knocks but once;
Burned into my memory
Are cases when opportunity stood banging,
And I answered not the door.

Rights and Opportunities
By Franklin Price
8/27/2016

Rights and opportunities
Intertwined in many ways
Rights, Constitution given
It's opportunity that pays

The Constitution's Bill of rights
And Amendments added to
Disclose the Federal rights we have
No one can take from you

The Constitution also defines
How the government proceeds
To take the best of care of us
Satisfy...

Chance, choice and circumstances can create, 
     new opportunities in life, to change our fate.
Some challenges camouflage opportunities ahead,
     give a thought, don't discarded them and shred.
Take different view of situations and think over,

Enfeebled by suffering, my steps refused to abide my call
              Tears streamed down when opportunity gently walked into my life
         Should I or should...

A beautiful lifestyle guarantee:
All these wonderful gifts for free!
Read about indiscretions,
In the latest ads they've got running:
All the secret alliances you could be planning.
 
High-class, back door man's agency stands here;
Nobody gets through the front entrance easily:
 maids, s and some high-class s.
Bureacracy assures a...

Sitting reminiscing
About the subtle signs
Along one’s journey
The roads not traveled
The messages so hard to read
Reminders meant for the soul
Heart longings heard
And those that aren’t
Life passing by
Not taking time to play
Invitations postponed
Believing there’d always be another day
Friends taken for granted
So few opportunities fully grasped
Yet life there...

EXPIRATION DATES - 20190122

We’ve all got inspiration dates,
But we can only guess at when.
From first breath ‘til the end,
Our lives were pre-measured by the Fates.

That doesn’t mean we can’t shorten our time
By taking risks with unhealthy lifestyles.
The Grim Reaper sadly grants no extra miles;
Life’s not...
