Best Pecuniary Poems


High Finance

Who controls our banking?
Ruinous fees for money lending.
Who questions their investing?
Why so dear for money lending?
Who does profit from accounting?
Our finances they're controlling,
While our economy they're ruining,
They're amassing fortunes pecuniary,
Big business for them, commercially.
Let's questions their accountability
For our faceless Australian economy,
Profits overseas they're sending---
So much for Australian banking!!!!!!

My Stranger Friend

Oluwakayode Adigun a rare name
I heard as I breezed down 
the city of Lagos in search of 
pecuniary gains. Does he teach?
So I was told but when he walked in
 it was unannounced, subtle, oh yea!
His presence I reckoned not!
As often, these stories, of trade and 
lending bored me with winter fevers.
Petulant and non stop barrage of didactics
permeated the horizon but this Adigun, 
a different breed with brazen 
intellectual antenna,
some what of a gem, in a split
seconds, the session rendered
aglow. we laughed and roared.
And  sweet was the banishment of boredom!
Passionate and exited, teacher of trade!
An intellectual of rare nicety, a 
sublime mental gladiator with untainted 
credentials in a delicate trade!
In obedience to the east and
custom, Adigun deserves colanut
and water, the greatest
yoke of friendship! To this
man, Adigun, I invoke the sacred
ancestral homage meant
for kings foremost knights!
I have known him albeit
a few hours, my balls wish I 
had known him all eternity. Adigun,
a connotative Yoruba appellation!
Oluwakayode, named after the deity of 
fortune ,Paykay as often, revered
by friends  and admires of equal 
trade! This stranger, in his episode
of transition to adulthood reminisced
noble candies not common
with  the poverty stricken mortals of
his time. My poetic hand relishes 
this holy flirtation in volumes.

A Stranger Hello

He stared at the pictures,
faces of the love searchers,
twenty first century wanted posters, 
scanning their rewards,
nothing pecuniary ,
preliminary,
maybe,
move on.

“Shall I advertise myself,” he thought,
no one appears sold or bought,
given to the mass,
on a screen of glass,
the physical hidden,
abrogate madness in description, 
we are all still strangers,
with keyboards,
watching screens.

Laptop lap dance dreaming,
muscles screaming,
from the primal theatre,
soul said rise,
clearing eyes,
bleary plasma vision clearing,
fresh air endearing,
left behind the digital desert,
went out to speak,
parched vocal chords starved,
thirsting for voice.

No dust on the keyboard,
he moved away in dead skin’s storm,
hunched and wild,
hair hung lank and ragged,
bedraggled wardrobe on blood and bone’s frame,
almost lame he walks,
to the shower stalks,
water staving off the slaughter,
the hot water,
a dream of cascading falls,
at his feet the last days drowned,
washed to the sewer,
where screen days live,
blending easily; 
with battered shopping trolleys & ****.

He dressed slowly,
went to his front door,
where the mirror smiled,
I remember you,
you once passed by often,
don’t be a stranger,
I’d rather see you leaving,
twisted contradictions of a mirror’s perspective,
not because you’re ugly,
because you’re beautiful,
and you shouldn’t be here with only me,
he laughed and said goodbye,
fresh air and light,
a missing intoxication,
he drank deeply;
walking to bid the strangers hello...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry


Premium Member Of Wars and Love

Such is life in all the universe,
nebulas are born, others just explode.
In our microcosmic world.
we fight our wars for pecuniary greed,
for love and passion and sadistic fun.
The tide comes in and then it ebbs,
cycle follows cycle until the end.
Yet we are after all too young to give up
or too old to battle on,
which is why we sometimes weep,
but other times we sing
our song of true love.

The Merciless Monster

Depart! you monsterous 
Creature,mercilessly 
Devouring your victims.
Scanning your preying 
Eyes in nook and cranny, 
Searching and devising 
havoc on souls...taking 
Every chance,never 
wavering,ruining lives 
And deaths by your foul 
Deeds.
"Oh! I have lost my 
Investment,""my wasted 
Efforts."These are some 
Of the victims of your 
Sinister devises.
Nation's economies have 
Crumbled under your 
Influence.
Many are 
homeless,others Feed 
through their nose.
You eat deeper than 
Canker worms.
Your beguilr smiles is like 
The Trojan horse
Ifnothing is done,you 
Have the pecuniary 
Advantage to your selfish 
Satisfaction.

Should Have Seen and More

Should Have Seen

You should have seen what I saw;
Looked just like my mother in law;
Had been devoted;
Body badly bloated;
She called me a turkey in the straw.

Jim Horn

Think Turkey in the Straw is a dance.

Holy Rollers In A Row

What I saw was Holy Rollers in a row;
Could always tell by way faces glow;
They Have held on,
Until communion gone;
Episcopalian Priests are always a pro.

Capital Bust

Pennilessness shadows black
unemployment endless track
rails tie-er less lee when dumbly staring
overdrawn account issues 
   another clattering smack.

Income pleat undergraduate degree
contributed to the role of a sporadic employee
time to acquire handy dandy blues clues key
lost within vacillating undermining spree.

Mental state can be a precarious widget-like thing
directly at the whim of financial sliding swing
self-destruction demonic ring
courtesy of pauperism
delivers the destructive poisoned scorpion sting.

Immortal force of please hear my cry
provide support while 
   under the sheltering sky
steady (just out of reach) 
   sought income bolster up high

mirage vision brings transient delight
to this great (former
Civil War Yankee) supreme guy.

If no breakthrough I do not foresee
charity not for profit (but only prophet) I will bee
and this blurb carved outside my cave-like hovel
many moons and break of the day find me

imploring existential vagaries this baby boomer
sans middle-aged man who hankers to be free
thus though aye to be a schnorrer

who scrounges parking lots for scattered change
yet...decries blubbering the beggar's credo
write out a check and mail to me.

Philanthropic persons 
   may rightfully balk and get irate
at such brazen plea to squelch 
   ma pecuniary financial state

yet where the crossroads of mine future
most likely crop up which
would cause far a tete a tete
meanwhile, stoicism bids me wait...

For Godot, Curly, Shemp, or Moe

Bound To Be President

Bound To Be President

Looked around for book in a library
Had compunction for one called Pecuniary
Liability contained in insurance policy
That and person could see was a fallacy.

On one fact I had been completely sold
When by both parents, they often scold
Proof in pudding really had been in a pie
Not avoid no matter how hard we try.

Pie was eaten up totally and completely
Ended up in my stomach nice and neatly
Came up with idea plump and pregnant
Turn leftovers into Poem with God's consent.

Here it happens to be my fine friend
Completely coming out of my rear end
So much of it soon was passed around
Was part of a President's odd sound.

You can fill in any politician's name
in place of President with my consent.

Definition of a Dreamguy

The love of a dreamguy...
Cherishes the heart of his princess;
Shuts the door for a mistress.

The passion of a dreamguy...
Is his devotion to his bunny;
Is his fidelity to his honey.

The strength of a dreamguy...
Provides leadership with delight;
Satisfies his babe every night.

The power of a dreamguy...
Uses no pecuniary gains to impress;
Uses generosity to get an empress.

The duty of a dreamguy...
Is to be a responsible man;
Is to care for his woman.

Cows, Cattle, and Maverick

A Texan rancher Samuel Maverick, 
Who never his calves and cattle branded, 
That caused to create the word maverick—
An eccentric rebel born of cow shed! 

Now, before the word breached its national, 
Borders it meant ‘all cattle unbranded’, 
And before that, ‘one unconventional’,
Mutating still: ‘master-less quadruped’. 

Today, hidebound means man narrow-minded, 
Long back it meant skinny cattle of drought, 
Bare to bones and ribs all but sticking out, 
Hidebound is man parochial, pettyhead!

Holy cow’, one may say to interject, 
It oft means a ‘sacred cow’ one can’t touch, 
You so much as just touch and get hit, ouch!
Elsewhere it may amount to mixing fact. 

The word ‘cow’ comes from Sanskrit ‘gau’, 
Comes cattle from Latin chattel— 
Movable wealth French calls capitale, 
Everywhere it is holier than thou! 

To migrants then, cattle was sole money, 
In Roman language , money is ‘Pecu’ 
From Indo Aryan Sanskrit word ‘pashu’, 
From it came in English: pecuniary! 

Words respect no boundary line, 
As do birds and religion and music, 
Only man’s busy borders to define; 
To change maybe we need a maverick.

Mine Doppelganger Complicit As Accomplice In Pecuniary Crime

Disguised as an Apple Computer Technician.

He initially hacked Macbook Pro laptop.

He (alias Harvey Specter)
planted seeds of suspicion
that criminal activity prevailed
within my geographic area in general
or questionable individuals
lurked within or without
Citizens Bank in particular,
and suggested yours truly (me)
to be wary about
over friendly employees
at aforementioned capital one
storied financial institution.

Said gonif (pulled a masterful subterfuge)
inveigling yours truly to carry out heist
of the twenty first century
against his honest good n plenti resources
(subsequently checking and
savings accounts severely depleted).

The invisible webbed wide whirled net
ensnared me lock, stock and barrel.

Little did I know
the spellbinding impact
until the dirty deed done dirt cheap
found writer of these words
figuratively holding the empty bag
where I got forced to trod
analogous highway to hell
courtesy diabolical, inimical, satanical...
devil may care disguised cozener
who wove believable scenario
claiming Citizens Bank employees
involved in suspicious conspiracy
to siphon off hard earned bucks.

I submissively consented
to participate and cavalierly disperse
freshly minted Benjamins
suddenly linkedin
chain of events
rocketing, kickstarting, and experiencing
a worse horror than death
mortified at being bushwhacked.

The feeble explanation, justification,
qua obliteration, ululation
trumped with lame excuse
yours truly not in his right mind.

Mind control, (albeit remotely)
assassinated rationality while hypnotically
feeling commanded, governed,
née kid lee killed
mine esprit de corps
among kith and kin
consigning thrifty troubadour
to the depths of despair
wishing termination of existence
in tandem with damnation, interrogation,
penalization, et cetera of nasty brute.

After series of unfortunate events brought,
where innocence and naïveté caught
teetotaler tempted to drink deadly draught
of top quality hemlock sold
at many bustling entrepôt
cuz now existence fraught
with torturous quaking
nauseating, kickstarting hatred
of self, thus restitution
of funds sought
by folks willing bestow largesse.

If yes check out (fiasco from fraudsters 
frazzles father)
legitimate platform
where charitable people swarm
and toys are sold.

Premium Member Man Cannot Live By Dread Alone

There is a cruel desolation these days in death
No comfort in congregational crowds.
Fear crackles on every street corner 
With wary social distancing  observed
On the wards,the lives of victims and carers
Held in healing and helpless hands
Too little gear to keep them safe
And shortage of drugs to palliate the pain.
Why the shortage of machines to let them breathe?
Beneath the hopeful promises of pestilential 
Politicians bewildered by their ignorance
Over the insidious and devious virus
There is clearly panic,gnawing at their nerves
Bleak,apocalyptic end- of -days sensations
This darkness do shroud, our exit  befogged
Flailing and hoping,failing and groping
Underlining starkly our human frailty
And turn our faces to the wall or God
Too many sacrificed to the pandemic shortages
Lives lost to lack of foresight and pecuniary policy
All lives under threat from  the invisible Covid-19
 With so many lungs by its deadly  threads deeply invaded.

Peddling Personal Particulars

Obsession with higher returns on investment
Crushes man, separating a person from personal data
Collected through stealth, subterfuge hidden in a vestment
Free services claim to account holders flatter. 

Pecuniary motives peddle personal information
Concealed ruse gathers and bothers to assemble
For sale with neither owners’ consent nor participation
In how, what and which corporations information reassemble. 

Personal information belongs not to information thieves
Who usurp personal details using terms and conditions
Which grant no legal right to knaves and knives
That manipulate and misappropriate data in misguided missions.

The global village vies to regulate 
Behemoths that threaten freedoms in a cartel kingdom
That shuns integrity, expecting data owners to capitulate
In the face of trade carried out in a thoughtless thiefdom.

Pecuniary On Judiciary

Pecuniary On Judiciary

On Trump we need to have an inquisition,
Which should be each and every position,
Will wear spectacle;
About are skeptical,
And of course on imposed an imposition.

Trump was in way by being a big pain,
Driving each person practically insane;
Being a bother;
Terrible father;
This is why in position will not remain.
