Best Self Interested Poems

Life is like a nut,
Differs in shape, size, color or crust,
Life is like a nut.
For some, it’s like a coconut,
Beyond the reach, safe from gust
Very important, much privileged!
Whether unripen or matured.
For some it’s like a peanut,
Malleable, fit in budget 
Widely spread, versatile no doubt
However, down...

Spiritual Mahjong
Your Move Lord

Is there a God?
A benevolent entity.
An eternal presence presiding over me.
A creator, watching and observing.
All knowing.
Is my end determined and conclusive before it begins, before I begin?
If so, then to what purpose am I created?
How does something so perfect, create something so...

If roses are red
then violets are blue.
If you were as dumb as me
you'd have voted for Trump too.

This election just past,
I never wanted to sin
but I'm so tired of Losing wars
when Earth's climate needs to Win.

I needed to act
not just say what we say
a little...

Semi - collage dreams suddenly collapsed, 
While the chill of September's dawn crept into my veins, 
And the scent of the wind outside smelled with horror, 
Gunshots from ak-47 disturbed the airs' silence instead
Of the sweet melodies from cock's crows, 
Blood tainted streets of bombs...

In summer she thunders majestically
her splendor spewing power soaked
sound waves of security cross the valley
and trails where tourists are cloaked
in  her confident comforting mist.

In winter she quick silently retreats
to the mountaintop peaks of surrealist
chill hibernation eerily replete
with mankindness's self-interested
profit motive doused in froze song.

Maybe I shall live long
Long and long.
Perhaps I might not defunct
After emptying this long life pot.
My boy shall die while I'm exist
I shall place him beneath soil of gold in zealot’

To his surprise the pot was drenched
In his sight the pot was emptied
He winked and...

Around the world the bombs are flying.
Political aims. Political lying.
Treaties are friendships, or so they’re implying;
As long as all parties are meekly complying.

Self-interested means, are always belying
The truth of the war; the truth underlying.
And we’ll call them soldiers, those men who are dying.
Not daddy, not...

A new religion
That can the future divine
A new god
That can tell us whence we came
A nirvana of nonsense
That only increases our ignorance
A dismal wreck to people’s conscience

We fight among ourselves
To shed as much blood
As a sacrifice to hatred requires
We have long since forgotten
What bits of...

A former friend of mine
tricked me into becoming
something I am not

The volunteer President
of our condo association,
a position I clearly cannot afford
midst trifling disassociations.

We were starting our Autumn tradition
of arguing about next year's budget
which typically continues
until we recommend something utterly preposterous
to our membership
which they will certify
remains...

Fond Farewell



Questionable relationships,
Blemished with disappointment.
Unforeseen deception,
Sincerity a sham.

Self-interested motives,
Fair-weathered associations.
Politically correct affiliations,
Unforgivable avoidance.

Cast-off, black-listed,
Circumstantial accusations.
Self serving agendas,
Betrayal no more.

No love lost....
What comes around, Goes Around....

What goes up
Must One day fall

A man with no hope
A man on a path of destruction
A man who caused his own demise

A sorry sight is he who has fallen
Off his selfish pedestal
And landed on his face
Now broken and dejected
He is a man with no way...

If I could walk gladly
and talk not sadly
across this Earth
around our home,
our shared place
of sacred journeyed birth
and emergent democratic space,
I would.

Yet, not only could we walk
and talk
in Earth's dispassioned way,

Not only would you
and should we all--
but we do
already

This pilgrimage of growing attachment,
then adolescent competitions,
then co-acclimating

There are times for peace and times for war
When your conscience comes knocking at your door
And you know your Creator is asking for more..
And that's ok.

From our comfortable places we rise and stand
When our neighbours, down trodden, require a hand
When that line needs re-drawing in...

How does it make you feel when the one you voted for, lost?
Did the earth stop revolving; or did the sun refuse to shine?
Did your boat cease to float; or did your sails fall into the river?
I was just thinking about the times that my...

Religion or Psychology?

This world is so difficult. A lot of people think this
This world is full of anarchy and deceitfulness
    – This is my opinion
This world is full of dirty, self-interested teachings
I don’t need man-made religion in my life. Just God’s

The religion...
