Best Recap Poems
Humans have long trespassed
and destroyed animal territories
Humans have poached
And selfishly encroached
upon animal habitats
cutting down trees to build
human habitations.
Now the tables have turned
Humans are quarantined in house arrest
while some lie sick in bedrest
So animals not usually seen are having a fields day
roaming upon roads, crossing the streets.
Reclaiming the once jungle lands,
that had been turned into concrete urban jungles.
It's better that busy humans now become photoholic
than forever queueing
in lines of heavy traffic.
Without human pollution,
nature is all the more photogenic
Mother nature all a creation of God
has now had many of us grounded
as she gives us a hiding
while we go into hiding.
Extraordinary turn of events indeed!!
In several countries round the world:
Discos and casinos vacated
Pubs and nightclubs evacuated
Bars shutdown for lockdown
People are behind bars instead of guzzling beer in bars
and instead of animals behind bars.
Humans compelled to hibernate
so animals busted their cell gate
Priorly animals were in an enclosure
Now they are getting free exposure
Self-centred humans cared mostly about themselves
but now the animal kingdom is the cynosure
Animals were shut in cages
and now human activity is under similar closure.
Ah, this corona crisis!
Is all this mercenary stasis
for humans a roasting nemesis?
A heavy price to pay for rapacious carelessness and arrogance
where humans acted like they are in control, like they
are controllers of this planet
and they could do anything they wish with it.
It's ignorance to think all this is mere coincidence.
Im relieved our Islamic prayers can be said any place, anywhere
to kneel and bow to the one true real sustainer of the universe.
We need to invoke and supplicate to the creator
who is still in control...
as prayer can really truly prevent fear and anxiety in such scary times.
"I suddenly realised that coincidence is a word we use when we are ignorant of the real causes." - Albert Salvadó
(I was impressed by the news story in which Kuwait had sent a special plane to Italy to specially evacuate their nationals from there when Italy was heavily stricken with the corona virus)
There's a fire tonight.
Struck gently,
It burns; alight.
I turn the wood
Slowly out of its box.
My feelings consume,
As do the lies.
My mind cracks,
As do the cries.
My legs turns to liquid,
As do my eyes.
He'll pay
For making me do trash today.
Hugo was in a great haste
To use his new whitening toothpaste
He gave the tube a hard squirt
And out it did spurt
And the cap was never replaced
In the markets, a wounded dollar sighs,
IEA cuts oil demand, to no surprise.
Stocks stride to records, touching the sky,
With eyes on CPI, the reason why.
The Japanese yen, in decline it stays,
Interest rate differentials pave the ways.
The Fed needs low inflation signs, they wait,
For CPI results to decide their fate.
Bitcoin speculation, 2.8 million hold tight,
In the worst performing price cycle’s plight.
European banks set to cut rates soon,
EUR/USD climbs, a one-month boon.
China’s probe into EU trade barriers thickens,
As June CPI trends downward, rate cut quickens.
Pepsi earnings watched, stocks tread still,
Investors brace for inflation’s will.

Policy reforms and progress made.

Markets soar, in gains they’re caught.

Investors shun junk bonds, as bankruptcy ascends.
South Korea fears Trump’s second round,
JP Morgan expects Fed cuts abound.
Market’s bullish momentum extends,
US inflation cools, rate cut trends.
Will China’s bank boost its economy’s fire?
June CPI’s cut path higher.
Wall Street climbs on inflation’s ease,
Yet big tech slumps, investors seize.
Trump’s win could Bitcoin’s value inflame,
JPY’s intervention remains the same.
China’s exports rise, imports fall,
BoJ intervenes, inflation stalls.
ECB slow on cuts, poll shows,
Commodities rise, US CPI glow.
Pound sterling rises, gold retreats,
Higher bond yields, USD beats.
Yen’s rally pauses, intervention denied,
Turkey’s back, emerging market’s pride.
Who are the British, do they exist,
these nationals of her Britannic majesty
too often shortened to ‘ Brit’.
Four score years, and more
I’ ve walked this shore but ‘Brit’
I see not, from where I, sit.
A kingdom united, yes that
rings a bell, but, am I
a ‘Brit’; No, No, so let me tell
of Four Kingdoms, as one, England
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This
quartet, the crux of my tale.
Many things each maybe, ..but never
a ‘Brit’. We are Scot, Irish, Welsh
or English..now do you see ?
Each nation, unique and distinct,
language reinforces my point, as in
English, not British, this poem I ink
fulfills an hourglass
and more can fill a whole beach~
and not made of sand
Locked inside a triangle of thoughts for you
Remembering my days you painted them from blue
Reminiscing on the days of short memories we made
Feeling like our time - was jipped and played
I don't feel I had an exceptionally long time with us at all
I feel like had we had more time - stuff could've been resolved
Although we could've balanced us - maybe we could've evolved
(Not that this is true) but I feel like almost 7 years was punished from you
You're a self-confessed introvert & you really love your work
I felt like everything you did - there I was to lurk
You expected me to stay 10-12 hours on a beach just to watch you
But when Holly's bored she'll be a if she has nothing to do
You'd say I was always in my head & didn't wanna interact with you
But if I did you'd get snappy 'cause you're working - & that's so true
You wanted me to talk & when I did you seemed uninterested,
& would only have conversations with me that you selected
(At the time) my patience sucked to understand & learn to write code with you
The concept of I.T. stuff (unless administration) there's no way I can do
You'd go almost every day not saying anything at all to me
But hardly ever balanced it so where you & I could together be free
At the time I didn't get it - at the time I didn't see
The infinite ways we could've been so good
If we had put the work in, to make sure both of us understood
It was difficult 'cause you were always stressed
We forgot if we tried together it could come out so blessed
You forgot together that we make a damn good team
But we were both too stubborn to believe it
Neither of us were ready & willing to receive it
We can't block each other out & expect it to work
Otherwise we'd both bottle it up & go berserk
If it were important to each other's selection
Then we would've made a conscience effort to put in more genuine affection
