Best Put To Work Poems

As I work hard in the hot cotton fields all day
I dreadfully think about the long night to come
Since you lost your wife you tell me you're lonely
and sneak me out from my shack to your huge mansion
Into your bed, where you use me and...

Why fear tomorrow? 
Does one not have faith? 
Surely faith and fear can not reside in a common resting place?

One can not barter with the Lord and claim faith, 
or seek counsel with another and know trust. 
Vanity casts our minds and hearts aside selfishly,...

Attention is needed, signified by the tune
far but near like the deception of a full moon.

The device is put to work making its functions tropical
little readings and meters, such intelligence is typical.

Units and measurements coming with each delivery
buttons punched only for commands, made for slavery.

Signals...

(Part Two)

Each following generation, almost inevitably, are stuck in the same cycle.
Centuries enslaved, the product of a totalitarian government.
Delivering an impeccable system of social mind control.
succeeding almost flawless in their subliminal and cruel tactics.
Mankind the perfect subject for an unchallenged subjugation and control.
At least Hitler...

I use to drink to kill the pain, I'd overeat to kill the pain.
But I couldn't explain why I couldn't maintain, outta my mainframe
And I couldn't reboot at the push of a button for nothin'
I kept trying but my mind was holding back from somethin'
Heart...

Box office draw! 
What Louie B. had in mind.
Dollar signs for him and all the others,
but not for you, sweetheart.

After all, music was the ultimate whore!
And for the sake of timing...
the rhythm of your own heart 
would, ultimately, bleed.

But who could understand 
the roots...
of your...

I.
When Sullivan ‘Reno’ Richards rode into
the small, northern Utah town of Stillman,
he’d been unemployed going on three months
since he’d left his job as a hired gunhand.

He’d turned in his badge to the agency
when his brother Samuel had been killed,
and after settling things with his family,
he’d...

Greatness is not just for the special,
It is nothing unique,
Nothing complex.
Greatness is people with courage,
It is passion put to work, 
It is inspiration.
Greatness is motivation,
Not snoozing the alarm is great,
Giving a stranger lift is,
Great is achieving the goal,
Greatness is living through pain.
It is not destiny,
But...

There are so many memories of Hoosier farm life that I remember,
But one in particular I recall occured each cold and drear November.
Dad would proclaim, "The old boar has reached his maximum weight!"
That meant the lumberin' old feller was about to meet his fate!

After Dad...

Do you want to join the circus? Yes, my crazy Uncle Jerry  said.
So he was put to work, good thing he skipped school that day, huh?
The next day he was joined by his best neighborhood pals - Tom, Dick and Ted.
They had a blast...

Say hello
to your
controversial

TERRORIST

I am not
unreasonable,
but
I can

There is one side,

If you are not working for me
you are all against me
and you will be
replaced

I dont care
what country you are from 
or IN....
I CARE 
about you all

since this is the beginning
of the...

She’s probably trying to help me,
But it just seems like she’s mean.
Get yelled at = no arrest
Put to work = money
Motivation? Nah cleaning = more play
But is this always?
Or is sometimes she actually being mean?
If she is, is it on accident or purpose?
If it is,...

For the usual life to digress-
From the norm to the average.
Standard has to meet it's distress,
Not considering any group or age.

Wonder is unusual to think of,
Living is nothing compulsive,
And the virus palliative isn't thereof
To some, personal risk becomes aggressive.

Children won't drive safe love,
Adult may set...

This sword
dragging behind

This brave warrior bold
returning from the cold
His story to be told

His enemies slain
on this momentous day
Dead where they lay
Skies weeping,
with cold rain

For,up in the the top trees
among the scree and stone
The dark ones
Venture forth
Daily,they come

Flashing silver fire
Elven sword put to work
Dark ones feeling...
