Best Program Poems

   Vast sums of money
     enormous chunks of time
   All spent on losing weight ~
     usually ruined by dinnertime

   It's really quite easy
     now I know that...

It was 1968 we'd gathered again in the school auditorium my tiny hands sweating only five years old while my name was called in all of this cold  
civil rights riots plagued my little brown mind sirens and fog horns single file lines time...

Dedication to Jazmine

I'm loosing hope
my heart is giving in
my mind is dying off
and its only been 2 days
since seeing you.
im going crazy
my heart hurts
without you
my soul
is in the fiery depths of hell.
it burns in 3rd degree
as I yearn to see you again
it destroys me when...

Health Care Program

In and out of problems again had wormed
And after all of them had been confirmed
By the caliber of questions people did ask
That to answer proved to be quite a task.

If you had terminal cancer and in bed did lie
Were without any health program...

I'm utterly a hermetic swarm of chemicals.
Our atoms are uniquely spotted over medicals.
Inside every iota arise unique waves of strenuosity.
It is stunning since we're concerned not to see.

The intensity waves in the query are identical.
In each one of us?In the enduring genetical?
Hence, it is the...

What do YOU call a second chance
a chance to see the sun
a chance to breathe fresh air
a chance to live on the outside with no room to share
a chance to not have to look over my shoulder
as I walk around
a chance to get it together...

this program failed....let's move over here,
their conscience can't comprehend in their hearts what's revealed,
the hand of God or the hand of man,
too superstitious to understand,
God moves in, and from, and to,
He can use anything he wants to,
to show us His love in so many ways,
our...

Program self for Elizabeth Wesley

So you need to overcome a weakness in your floor,
You don’t  like what you’r e seeing , not any bloody more,
You are what you think you are, a body full of doubt,
But change the plan get up again, and toss...

confounded, confused
cliffhanger, like a hangnail
unpleasant when there’s no icing

a program diet
stamping my feet
“it had a cult following”

who can resist the pie man
a charming, untouchable chap
quirky characters included

the one minute tell all
from the living dead
murder like a pie in the face

and the same is true
of American...

Ever wonder what’s behind that positive drive
It’s the Lord’s program titled “Enriching Our Lives”
He never ceases to fulfill our expectations
And makes it quite clear that our existence has no limitations.

Before the Lord’s eyes we are all at celebrity status,
Therefore we must maintain dignity as our...

The robot,
It is programmed,
Program: what to do,
What to see,
What not to see.
A system, follow the system,
Follow the trends,
Follow the people with the trends to know other trends,
Peep into their lives through imaginary screens
What is happiness: it is a state of…stop!
Reboot…
What is happiness: it is what...
