Best Productively Poems
When a person approached investigatively,
He chases his relations suspensively,
He finds clue and works dramatically,
Suspection always works progressively.
Confirmation of belief confirms sensitivity,
Growth brings a change to work relatively,
Hunger is seeking growth for productively,
A limit of growth confirms value qualitatively.
When population has highly density,
Unemployment works offensively,
Poverty grows to increase crime,
Disaster comes to balance creatively.
Everything is naturally fast and slow,
A person has patience for a balance flow,
Air can’t across a gravity line,
Sun has different heat rates a limit to grow.
Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three
Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see
Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee
Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality suffering
Sputtering, stuttering
Faster through brevity
Haiku for me
Where is the paradox?
Chatter and atta-talks
Raising poetic stocks
Moving up leaderboards
Elevates all their scores
Best that you just ignore
All your competitors'
New poetry
Elegant, painstaking
Beautiful, time-taking
Longer time finishing
Numbers diminishing
Falling so rapidly
Not even on page three
Drop productivity
Maybe you finish a
Poem or three
Status? ridiculous
Leaders? superfluous
Seek to equilibrate
Advocate, animate
Irreconcilable
Paradox schmeradox
Sharing delightfully
Cranking productively
Poetry supersedes
All rivalry

Title: Irreconcilable Paradox
Date written: 02/17/2022
food, god, and the universe as you
You are the universe (I insist and will prove it)
So say grace before you eat ...
You agree we are stardust, the stuff of the Universe
So say grace before you eat, but think productively ...
If stars & humans are stardust, why not the food we eat?
So say grace before you eat ... and respect the food you become
Like the sun, we turn a piece of bread into bigger humans
So say grace before you eat ... know why Jesus did so
We have been recycled here, not dumped from another "place"
So say grace before you eat ... we are in this together
Listen: like water is not created, only recycled, so are we!
Say grace before you eat ... or drink!
We are eating the sun daily, in terms of food pyramids, the food chain
Say grace before you eat, drink, or go fishing ...
We are recycled energy from sun, recycled water, modified fish, meat, fruit
Say grace before you eat fruit, fish, fowl, or larger mammals or snails
And do not let THEM tell you where you stop connecting with YOUR universe
Say grace before you eat, and during cooking, by thanking life in the pot
Jesus made much of the communion; you let RELIGION stick you a ritual:
Lapsed Episcopal Minister, Alan Watts, said: "Cooking is a process of loving"
Say grace before ... during ... after consuming the Universe
Because you are consuming YOURSELF: You The Universe Disguised!
Nine Eleven—a dark day lives of many workers were stolen away
Individuals worked all night; stayed; without seeing the light of day
Nose to the grindstone below floor level they labored productively
Effectively moving papers, stacks, racks, speedily and so selectively
Encouraged basement overtime; more taxes paid; they worked away
Loyal workers; dedicated to the cause; laziness to them—not a gift!
Earnestly they called home to say, “Honey I am working another shift”
Encouraged by those who stayed; coffee and donuts— no need to pay
Encroachment above they never did see as terror stuck during the day
Night’s darkness envelope the light; underground darkness of the night

"Solution OR Problem"
Part of the problem or of the solution
Depends upon one's contribution.
There's only two sides, no middle ground,
No place in between can there be found.
To be part of the solution, one must be
Doing SOMEthing for and productively
To resolve, correct, counteract,
In SOME way doing a selfLESS act.
If part of the solution, one is not,
Then to the problem they add, allot.
Since they provide no resistance,
To the problem they give assistance.
Those who do nothing either way,
Are part of the problem anyway.
For those who do nothing, they enable,
Thus fit and wear the problem label.
Those who do wrong of various kinds,
Regardless what type that undermines,
Violates another's rights and space,
Are the problem; are a disgrace.
Such individuals destroy our peace,
Create problems for stress increase
And if we do nothing, then we are too,
Part of the problem with blame due.
So many think, seem to perceive
That doing nothing will relieve
Them of their duty and obligation,
But instead, they join the causation.
To all those of you who are doing wrong,
Knowingly, willingly, then you belong
With being branded not just the part,
But of the problem, you're at the heart.
Part of the problem or of the solution
Depends on for which, your contribution.
Those doing nothing and/or doing wrong
ARE the problems and help them along.
So, I ask, on which side are you;
Which side do you contribute to?
On the side of solution OR the other side
Do you choose to be, do you decide?
"Solution OR problem; no middle ground,
One side OR the other, we each are found.
We cannot be on both or in between;
Solution OR problem, we choose which scene."

Someone said to me 1% rule the world,
I refused to believe and insults they hurled.
Why get personal because I reject the ideal?
If you believe it use this time to talk facts,
insults suggest you have nothing valid that'll impact.
You have no stats or statistics,
no facts that are realistic.
They tell me I'm not suppose to understand Lucifer or Illuminati,
but in general they tend to understand a lot less than me,
they are inferior intellectually,
so I let them have this victory,
allowed out of sympathy,
which is nice really
they think they see what I can't see.
Why do I reject the 1% rule theory?
It's simple, I'm not ignorant mathematically.
You see,
the 1% that you believe,
is not a small minority,
1 is small and that deceives.
However I can't comprehend how an organization of 70 million
can operate productively without a difference of opinion.
How can all benefit,
at meetings where do all sit,
how are they trusted to keep it secret
and how do they induct into it.
Worldwide 1% is the amount to have a high level of education.
1% would be the worlds 20th most populated nation,
bigger than Great Britain or France
stats like this cause me to reject your stance.
What circumstances would cause 70 million
to agree and reach an outcome?
33 Million was split into 17 and 16 million
in the Brexit referendum,
how do 70 million agree often?
Brexit was one question with two answers.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with the theory you opt for,
it is just not possible.
1% don't rule,
they are highly educated with an element of control,
but that is just evolution after all,
like the pack behind the alpha male.
So if you blindly believe these theories
can I suggest you find some hobbies.
It's the natural evolutionary order,
Our highly educated amounts to 1 percentage,
they've limits, that's why the elite fall through the ages.
70 Million is 1% and that number is not small,
so to conclude the whole theory is bull....
I speak words, rawly, but
productively, Poetry Is the
Passion, I compose, with A
gleaming heart, that spins the
souls of others, vibrantly
shinning, among the rainbows,
Colorfully booming, Tenderly In
A jukebox, as my ego, grows
up the beanstalk, like sun-use,
Wisely owl, among expression to,
its knowledgeable ponder, for those
who listen, Do you hear, what I hear?
Do you see, what I see? Do you know,
what I know? Please take A step-
back, and listen chary to it
again, As I compose my lyrics,
down on A sheet of white
paper, for all the world to,
see, Hear, and know, because
We are worthy, in the eyes of
God...

Violence against women
Experienced discrimination
Maltreatment weakened them
Witnessed inequality in rights and freedom
Once surpassed made them superwomen!
Let’s end women’s sacrifice and strife
Let all women from all walks of life
March forward as the world celebrates women’s month
Let them feel valued, respected and adamant
To better hone their skills, knowledge, attitude, and values.
Women empowerment promotes sense of self-worth
Their abilities, skills, attitude determine their own choices
Speak of fundamental human rights all over the world
Let them bring social change through their actions, and voices
To achieve a more peaceful and prosperous world.
Empower women in the workplace
Girls, ladies, women face significant challenges
Get involved in decision-making roles in every place
Embrace their essence, give them chances to push changes
Never let barriers affect opportunities for the entire populace.
Empower women in the government
Create high-level corporate leadership for gender equality
Ensure the health, well being, and safety
Promote education, training, and professional development
Support them as they occupy positions in quantity with quality
Empower women in every home
Let them live safely, fulfilled, and productively
Let them reach and use their full potentials
To raise responsible and discipline children of the new generation
Who will promote sustainable economies, societies, and humanities.
Empower women wherever they are
Maintain gender equality through initiatives and advocacy
They can take different parts in all activities and programs
In social development of families, communities, and countries
Kudos to your valor in innovation, leadership, sports, and discovery.
Empowerment and equality strengthen the policy
The powerful E changes the world peacefully
Every human with all the women must be treated fairly and equally
Empowerment and equality lead the world to live progressively in unity
Let them be the key to unlock the seal to the elusive world peace and unity.
While strolling down life's garden path
Oft I've stopped to admire the roses,
I've carefully avoided the scourge of wrath
Considered the deep concerns life poses,
And reached the conclusion to do my best
I must optimize my determination to give
As though each new day is a coveted test
During which I must practice how to live
More productively, comfortable in my skin,
Happily enjoying the talents God has given
Maintaining ties with friends, kith, and kin,
Seldom feeling unduly pressured or driven.
Someday when my time on earth is over
And I go on to whatever reward is mine,
I can say with a smile, I've danced in clover
As far as I'm concerned everything's fine.

A story is often a mish mash jam on a tambourine. Whirling. Ignorant inscriptions incite incorrect information. And a bow in a bowl is not a box nor a bag. Well, normally it isn't anyway. But does a tiger blossom roar at midnight? Is a dimmer switch dim? Could it be that an electric eel can power up to ninety-six cars over twenty months and an optical ocelot is in prime time position on a television schedule. A coat with stripes is useful for racing practice but a chequered coat should only really be used to play a wild energetic game of chess. Pink picture playing pleasing piccolo productively producing pragmatic precision. Dot to dot then sit down. Great isn't it? But a fascinating breath of a near bead is not a breach of beach it is a braking bee. Opinions opulently occur officially announced over orders. So along the crystalized crate it is wise to play billiards. But not too frantically for that is reserved for cute little dust balls whose sweeping causes the passing ants to sneeze loudly in ships. At sea is at sand and at sand is a foray of a fishes' dinner plate at shell mansion. Metres then. Wow. Wouldn't you like to visit an itemised code today? Hahah Vesticular virtual vest versions. Hahaha 2 possums + 6 wallabies = 900, 800, 700, 001 % of a twenty mile koala on a train drinking eucalyptus and gin mix. Xxxxxx platypuses xxxxxx symmetrical Z Z Z Z
A woman of strong faith
Never been shaken by anything
Whatever comes around in life.
A woman of courage,
She move and go in spite of
Difficulties in life, make things
Possible confidently.
A woman of talent, unique to
Express herself productively,
Happy and aware in the way
She will work out with.
A woman of knowledge,
Knowledge comes from experience of
Life that produce wisdom in
Moral and spiritual value.
A woman of intuition, to stand
The ground to be able to work in a
Proper right direction journey of life.
A woman of discipline, feed her
Emotion to behave, to speak her
Mind in a right manner way.
A woman of intellect, nurture her
Children and spouse to pamper her
Family with love, affection she give
Ear to listen, to be modest in the
Way they will go, to live in God in
Faith, to make life easier and simpler.
A woman of prayer, all things in life
She committed in silence prayer,
To be humble in the sight of God,
To listen to the words and command,
To fear God, to love God to be the
Centre of her life.
A woman of strength, relying on God,
Seeking his grace, mercy he endure to
A woman of faith in God alone, along way.
A woman of God speak in wisdom,
Has a special attention in the eyes of
God, secure on earth and in heaven place.

Do you remember that time when just loving each other was the right fit:
Respect, honesty and mutual agreement made the relationship fully legit.
Now-a-days, relationships are of different types and ways of getting knit;
Monogamy died, producing Open, Complicated, and Friends with benefit.
Desires yearning more for sex, fun, and frolic – not mindful of commitment;
Relationships no longer based on mutual love, but on making a public statement.
Why have proper morals, values and principles of proper courtship depleted?
Is it because respect, honesty and love; selfishness has completely defeated?
Food for thought, a delicate matter on which to ponder; analytically wonder;
Since when was a person’s heart something to be uncaringly cast asunder?
We must! We must return to mutual respect, honesty and love in relationships;
It is still mutually beneficial before marriage to have friendships, then courtships.
It is still awesome to get to know, understand and appreciate your partner;
To be aware of tendencies and find grounds of compromise; in every matter.
It’s still important to be satisfied by your partner, and the ‘issue’ is not about sex;
To hold your peace and tactfully find amicable solutions, even when one is vex.
It’s still thoughtful to know the morals and value on which your partner stands;
Their dreams, and desires and on which part of your life they will make demands.
Simple tit-bits that many courting couples have regrettably taken for granted;
Their relevance is crucial to good relationships, and should not be discounted.
So listen to me, ladies and gentlemen this advice is truthful and fully sound;
Akin to a productively fruitful tree securely planted, in nutritious ground.

It seems that there is no shortage
of blind fools in the world today,
wishing that masculinity
would die, or whither away.
As if it were a simple choice,
and not written into our cells,
not realizing that without us
their future would not go well.
It may not be fashionable,
but that makes in no less true,
we need to teach both young and old
the value of manly virtues.
Ambition is a giant one,
and the most misunderstood,
but when channeled productively
it does us all enormous good.
The machines of the modern world
were not ordered by government,
but came from ambitious minds,
after years of toil spent.
The male need to be number one
gave us planes, computers, and cars,
so we teach our boys to use it,
and it takes society far.
Courage may be the most well-known,
and by many is called the best,
essential in a life that seems
an endless series of tests.
And those who test us never fail
to intimidate and make threats,
courage is what makes a man say,
“That’s as far as you’re gonna get.”
When you wish to cower and flee,
when the bullets fly for real,
it’s courage that stiffens the spine,
and makes men into hardened steel.
Then there comes Tenacity,
perhaps the strongest of the lot,
dismissed as mere ‘stubbornness’
by the folks who have not sought
to push a dream until its end,
to keep fighting until you’ve won,
in this grinding world stubbornness
is how all great things are done.
Not through strength or connections,
but by an endless force of will,
tenacity is what men use
to summit this life’s steep hills...
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
Lord, Your comfort* of peace upholds me
Soothing my soul, healing me from iniquities’ disease
While I strive to please You…
Becoming patient in doing Your will.
Lord, Your comfort thru Your Word revives me
Working in my heart, convicting me of my sins
Here am I, submitting to Your transformation might…
Steadfastly resisting temptation from being worldly-devoured.
Lord, Your comfort lifts my faith toward spiritual height
Strengthening my commitment for service-fruitfulness
Enable me to walk in Your righteousness…
So I can work productively as a prayerful Gospel seed-sower.
Lord, Your comfort midst struggles leads me toward victory
Rescuing me from deceit’s peril
Midst my trust in You with earnest devotion…
Triumphant while effective in my faithful stewardship!
*Psalm 71:21 Thou (LORD)... comfort me on every side.
