Best Plenty Poems

We grasp shadows flow over magenta light
      in the crystal trails of tourmaline
      yes, both of us will leave.

I still haven't found my Miss Right;
the girl with the cat was a fright:
she farted all day
and stank of decay,
then played with her pussy all night...

for the Baggage contest...

I gotta whole lot of emptiness,
a vacuum full of void
With no more heart problems around,
I’m not beset
by any sadness or regret
To tell you the truth,
I’ve got plenty of nothing left
There’s only an empty chest
of bittersweet memories ... less bad than good
Could things have worked out...

Tomorrow is another day, a fresh start.
You manipulated your way and stole my heart!
       I try to focus on self, but I'm seriously failing.
You took my emotional wealth, and now my mind is sailing.

I need Him every morning, as the day dawns.
He silences the shadows, restores my peace within.
I need Him when I awake, just like the apostle John –
Without Him, I am lost, not knowing how or when!

I need Him when I’m silent and also when I...

This Valentine's Day I shall send
To my boyfriend so not to offend.
Even though I am fond,
If he does not respond,
No worries. He's got a best friend....

Documentary on The War *
More and more and more!
America the Great.
Nam to Watergate,
With plenty more in store.

Don't know if I'm pessimistic
or just a shade realistic.
Politicians lie.
Easy sales. We buy!
Perhaps a bit simplistic.

It was "way back then."
Sam took it on the chin.
I'll watch it all.
I did...

The Keystone Kops Return

By Elton Camp

Wildly incompetent they may be
But only in silent films did we see

Their antics were humorous enough
In reality we can’t have that stuff

With the Keystone Kops on alert
The president’s too easy to hurt

A known criminal has been spied
With him taking an...

Africa, land of plenty, and riches, Copper, gold, uranium and salt
But the heart of Africa, is its people
Traveling far over caravan routes
Across the plains and heat stricken desert
Camels carrying tremendous loads
Just to find that Oasis in the sky
Snow-capped mount of Kilimanjaro
A wonderful sight, a splendour...

Plenty poor
To make it I 
Need to be
Sure...

Living in a world of plenty, 
There are millions without any

Of the things that life demands.
It's something I can't understand.

The only reason I can see
For this gross inequity,

Is the touch of Satan's hand,
On the heart of selfish man,

Breeding avarice and greed,
Robbing those in mortal need

Leaving...

Guns don't kill people,
PEOPLE kill people.
So they say.

I don't think one man could kill
59 people and wound 400+ (estimated)
if he didn't have guns.

Lot's of them.
And plenty of ammunition.

Is it perhaps time for a meaningful dialogue about
gun control?
Or do you prefer your neighborhood gunman to control...

My land is lush and green; 
a land where crystal rivers flow. 
Mountains of amethyst majestic 
in their splendour provide a 
backdrop for magical magnificence. 

My land is rich and prosperous; 
cultivating spiritual harmony, 
tangible beauty, perfect peace. 
A richness rare indeed in a world...

              Before I kick the bucket, I plan on
                   riding this vehicle called life
