Ambush, Resume

I walked with ease
a comfortable moment after sunset,
I wore clean, comfortable skin
and comfortable, casual attire.
Past glowing shopfronts
on clean, wide pavements,
warm evening slowly darkened,
a good time would be had by all.
I don't care much for the parties,
but good company is good,
just as good as a good time,
a good time would be had by all.
Until the unexpected ambush.
Glowing shopfronts vanished.
Clean, wide pavements grew dark and dirty.
I was ambushed by a gang of forgotten abuses.
I was helpless against the mad mob,
they beat me to the ground,
stomped on the back of my head,
printed my face on the concrete curb.
Broke my nose and some ribs,
bust my skin wide open,
tore my favourite, crisp black shirt,
took my wallet and my watch.
After a few bleak moments, humiliated and alone,
I scraped my sorry ****
from the sneering ground
and continued on my way.
A good time remained to be had by all,
a less good time for me,
but good company would be almost as good
as the good time had by all.

I put ,human, under strengths on my resume

In this age of abandoned libraries 
and split-second answers 
my biggest rebellion 
is thought- 
art created by a soul 
for a soul

Jingle Venom Tapasya Resume Sun Patriotism

Venom resumes X 3
Suryas out of his basket indeed,
Even good boys are naughty, Sajni,
elevation creatonism,
mantra stance style,
the sun moons life,
he locks his eyes for an eternal rain dance,
chaos enveloped in tears from the sun,
cosmic comic stances that are silent,
the venom stillness of life,
under thunder blast compliance,
encounter my intellegence,
my imperfections,
venom resumes X 3,

Surya is out of his skin,
he pees freely, and poohs slowly,
cautious very friendly,
screams X 3,
shout X 3,

don't mention tantra to mantra,

the town is out,
people are watching,
the sun will shout,
Surya X 3

As You Resume

Congratulations
On your admission
I am sure you are eager about resumption
And some of you already dreaming about matriculation
Keep it up for it is the season of celebration
But don't be scared, should there be delay in your graduation
And don't let it affect your vision 
Neither your ambition
For it shall all end in jubilation

Now as you resume
Of course without much Resume
And you have a lot to assume
But know this, garri is a must for you to consume
It is a must you take garri
Even if you are from warri
Furthermore in case you don't know
OAU Mosquitoes?
They are not from this planet but pluto
For they can visit you anytime even when doing touch your toes
Or maybe when you are close 
Issorite...If you know you know

And should you not know
that in OAU we lay low
Because we are all equal
Although some do take liquor 
Notwithstanding even if you are governor's daughter
It does not matter
Because on the eportal
Who you epp does not matter

Ehn ehn...Ancient car park
To know more about it
Contact me (07032277508) to get it
At ancient car park
The Innocents become No-saints
You'll understand more When you come
Because over there some of you will still cum

The blood sucking monsters of OAU 
Are also  waiting for you
And again contact me to get the poem on it
But briefly...
They are OAU bedbugs
Your soon to be indispensable companions
Yes! because they will follow you anywhere and everywhere you go
Just like MTN
Contact me for more...
But for now I rest my case
As I remain my humble self

My Public Resume

Here's my public resume
For all the world to see
But first, I'll introduce myself,
My name is Ashley

I'm an art school dropout,
I don't have a degree;
But I'm a diligent hard-worker
Try not to judge me

I attended Columbia College,
As well as SAIC;
Oh yeah, plus St. Xavier
And Roosevelt University

I transferred schools a bit
Excuse my curiosity,
I pray my indecision
Won't impact my credibility

I was once a journalism major
I can write about anything
My other interests include fashion,
I can also dance and sing

Feel free to get in contact
For business inquiries
I hope this impressed you,
I would love if you hired me ;)

Premium Member Would You Hire Me: a Resume

I am applying for the consultant position
of Office Manager for which I will audition.
I am undeniably qualified to deal with nitwits
and idiots I will immediately classify as 'twits.'

My solution to deal with those people is fair
It may not be righteous, but I don't care.
If your company is greedy to make money,
it's ok with me. Just give me my check, honey.

I don't browbeat employees with a big stick
when they come in late or say they're sick
I'll crack the whip on any numbskull at work
and there's one less lazy fool I'll call  a jerk.

If you think my method is severe over kill,
you're right, because I don't show good will
to jackasses who keep making me mutter
words you would only hear in a street gutter.

I'll get control and do what needs to be done
and I promise I'll try not to pull out a real gun.
I'll need some handcuffs and maybe a jail cell.
Give me free rein and everything will be swell.

My resume' experience speaks for itself.
Once, I've even fired an Elf on the Shelf
I did it without a good reason or just cause
so you can waiver that harrassment clause.

You can hire me now for a trial run.
Keep me on or fire me, but I'm the one
you need to give brainless creatures the boot...
not due to my work ethic, cuz I don't give a hoot.

Resume For Love

Resume For Love
By Jeff Weiner

Tease and tease is how they play
When we react they stay away,
Love is not a game to me
Don’t play with feelings, let me be,

I seek a heart with true desire
Burning hot in passions fire,
I possess the same to share
Only approach if you honestly care,

Holding hands and snuggling close
Are affections I hold dear,
Late night talks and morning walks
Soft kisses are welcome here,

Honesty and friendship are first on my list
These are not negotiable,
If this is also what you seek
Please apply within and be sociable

Your Resume

.


Don't exist for your resume alone
Live, work with imaginative
passion
 
That is anchored on principled boldness
With poise and ease born of
graced conviction

As always, in compromising the truth
Nothing there is remotely
ennobling
 
Until you can courageously say no
Even your  strongest yes
would  mean nothing

Expectedly, at times you get confused
But trust your heart will
sooner show the line

 
You'll find you're braver, truer every time
And yes, your resume
will be just fine! 

.

I'm good at two things
but I don't know how to describe them

And they clash with the things that I'm bad at

Athena, who knows?
Blows flow, heaven

Prepared My Resume

Prepared My Resume'

Prepared my resume' so it could review;
All of my experience and what I knew;
Learned when read;
In a library or bed,
And understand what I can do for you.

Resume

“Rocks and socks, I need a job, 
What is it that I can do?” 
My new friend was waiting… for an answer. 

“I can fly across the channel on a hot air balloon. “
“Really?”
“I can build a ship of candy and take us to the moon. “
“Hum?”
“And if there is time, we can step back in time…
And even feed the dinosaurs.” 

The proper lady behind the mask, wanted to hit something. 
Waste of time. Waste of space. Waste of…

“I can see you have never been in the air?
Perhaps you are not the travel type?
That is okay.”

Crossing the arms of challenge. 

“If you close your eyes, I can teach you. 
Now?”

In a room where we can go no where and do nothing, 
set by limits, boundaries of stone and steel, we still need to feel. 
Pray… God is listening. He can lift your heart to heaven, 
to hear angels sing. 
There is nothing here on Earth, 
to compare, I promise you.

“Maybe there is a job for you.” 
She smiled.

Resume' De Amor

What lies before us is not always certain,
This world is full of obstacles and branching paths that we could have never imagined
Our plans are set in stone, forthright and true,
Then along comes chance and our love anew.

Confused and trodden becomes our focus,
Our plans and certainness all but tarnished
What is this epiphany that fate has spoken?
Are morality and conviction to be broken?

Eyes exchange glances and hearts begin to race,
Time has stopped and is now our servant,
Passion takes hold but could it be real,
Could this person truly feel what I feel?

A body warm and full of affection,
A face that God emulated ‘perfection’,
A touch so soft to ease flurried emotion,
A hold so captivating to enchant devotion,

A kiss that makes all the angles in heaven stop and stare,
A kiss that somehow makes this world worth it,
A kiss that shows that souls persist,
A kiss to show me love exists.

Reality snaps back and we look upon our created wreckage,
What we have done and morals we have shaken,
Existing upon this planetary system,
Are our man made codes and laws of action,
But how small and minuscule upon the greater picture,
Are these moral obligations to what could be true heartfelt passion?
I know how I feel and I know what I want,
And I know it hurts you to think of your loss,
Sometimes loss is the greater good,
As when a forest burns to ash for the greater good,
Rebuilt and strong it becomes renewed,
My forest is gone and waiting for you,
To become something greater then I could have ever imagined,
To be the love that I always wanted,
Feel my heart and how it beats for you,
You are the life that makes my world true.
What does your heart tell you?
I only hope you listen.

Resume

He's played in many dramas 
he's been in comedies
he's paid the price of karma
for careless rhapsodies.

He has tarried in the gardens 
where hot desire blooms
he's swam the pools within the mind
and lit some darkened rooms.

He has been known to occupy,
a consumer of your time
yet regardless of the time he spent
He’ll be a mystery left behind.

At first you think you know him, 
then he's someone else
He’s a walking contradiction,
that can magnify your pulse.

He'll clean you up he'll make a mess
then fill your heart with love
He’ll make you laugh he'll make you cry
if you push him he will shove.

Have you seen him as conceptual? 
do you see the angry man
do you see him circling in the ring
who will take you where you stand?

He'll lust you with intention,
He’ll love you with desire
He’ll give to you attention
Believe him he's no liar.

There could come a day,
When everything seems wrong
But when it all is said and done
you'll miss him when he’s gone.
