Best Regulators Poems

The middle class here can't be saved
When 0.001% act so depraved
Their wealth without end
These royals* still pretend
Did not come from us—their 
enslaved**


*The Royals: CEOs, Banksters, Revolving Door Regulators, The FED, Congressmen for sale, Lobbyists, Board Members of Big Corporations, Major Shareholders who vote for these...

Oh, Land of the Free 
You have presumptuously deemed yourself the mouthpiece and policy maker 
Of the world
How overconfident
How impudent
Who makes you...

I feel like a high school civics class dropout.

So much confuses me,
to this day, you see,
about democratic constitutional legal equity,
which feels like it should have WinWin original empowerment intent,
about public and private rights, unbent
protected against others' immoral and illegal, unrepent
ed wrongs of infringement,
and why we...

As the sun dips lower in the sky
And the ocean turns a deeper hue
Families pack up their children
Pails, shovels, blankets and shoes

The life guard closes up his tower
His day successfully through
No one lost in the churning surf
No one lost in the ocean blue

The coming nightfall...

The DEA will this condemn:
Some pain sufferers take Kratom 
Big pharma must reign
They'll rely on chicane 
To keep addicts addicted to them



Author's Note: Kratom comes from a relative of the coffee plant.  The active ingredient is mitragynine.  While this substance acts as a...

While there is no story at all
unless it has at least two sides,
when it comes to ego's narrative lines
and epic paragraphs,
we have great difficulty in casting ourselves
as other than a one-sided protagonist story,
which others might see as including too much self-indulgent glory.

A decade of growth and decadent boom 
People didn't mention the debt elephant in the room
It was the charge of the bull
Many pockets were full
The search for a higher return was the motivational pull. 

But whilst stocks and shares rocked and flared
Investors held their breath in shock...

“Is this place Hell” a prisoner asked his first day there; 
No, just a stop along the way. 
Andersonville Prison, 1864. Hell Upon Earth.

The hounds of hell waited for those stranded in battle by 
canon shot, hunted down by the rain of bullets from the...

He shot a man in Arizona
so Billy's riding hard tonight.
He had to leave Fort Grant City
because he killed a bully in broad daylight.
Billy's heading back from where he came from,
back to old New Mexico.
He has friends on the Ruidoso.
They'll hide him out where ever he...

Why did Donald Trump emerge, 
As a presidential frontrunner?  
Why did people call a businessman, 
To be a political gun, a stunner? 

Politics is in disrepute today, 
Requiring tight legal regulation, 
Because advantage has been taken, 
Financially, by the means of representation. 

UK politics has...

A nice little horse story to tell to the beetles and cakes.

What if the rotating square meet the sides of a spinning circle? Well a dance, a spin and a sparkly front facing flip out from the watching triangles. Triangles are good gymnasts and also...

Are able to keep your joy when all about you
If you can appreciate another’s view,
But sagely keep advice, inside, anew,
If you can access this vital part of self,
Or you can protect your heart and your child’s soul,
Or keep happiness afloat, as if a gleaming elf,
And...

What pharmaceutical hypocrisy
Blurred doctor patient relations
Continuous with dealor-junkie satiation 
Arent't we living to eat?

The safety regulators will come down harsh
Trickling down their axiom motif
With Ronald Reagan collectible trading cards

Who's poison beef still feeds
The vacant lunch room lot
And appetite feeds necessity
A supply/demand immortal praxis

So when economists...

Yes he did kill but it was a justifiable sin.
If Billy hadn't killed them they would have killed him.
Some say he killed for vengeance but that was never his means to an end.
If he killed for anything it was for...

Who would want a thermostat
unable to effectively regulate talking to itself?

We all long for recreative environmental response systems
of mutual listening wonder,
sacredly transcending mere domination of will-power
without bilaterally cooperative holistic prominence
of systemic identity ourselves.

Who wants a mono-disculturing GodSystem?
Unable to unite cooperative
and disassociate competitive 
and sometimes co-dependently...
