Best Subsidize Poems

We need to send a message for Washington to hear
We need to make a statement and make it loud and clear
Leave rigs double parked in every town
Come on truckers. Shut it down
Block the highways. Set your course.
Show our politicians a united force
Politicians! While you're kissing...

I CAN’T BREATHE

I am being suffocated by causes.
Will we march Quixote-like
enraged by the spinning of the windmills?
We protest the wars carrying placards
while expecting others to carry arms,
praise God and worship Jesus while
condemning all others to eternal damnation.
How many would offer to abort – an abortion...

What is love?
A sea of nonexistence
both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.
(Rumi, M. Mafi, "Day By Day", p. 120, 2014, Hampton Roads)

What is timeless synergy?
Our sea of coexistence
both confluent and dissonant
where blind consciousness
seldom dares disembody.

Aging time,
This house, not home, hums and strains pitchy...

The leaders of His generation
would subsidize
the fraudulent bed of lies, 
leading to His demise.

He would be bruised 
for our iniquity,
for the transgressions 
committed by we, not He.

A holy righteous life, 
in servitude spent,
Yet they would shed the blood 
of this innocent.

A Man who would know...

rip your guts out 
scatter them into the wind
subsidize the pain, the humiliation
the bloodletting 
with wine, verse, and rhythm

spend the night 
beneath star filled skies
with the love of another
then deny the wrongdoing 
the aftermath 
under throes of interrogation 
and just maybe 
with a bit of...

        When Only Cash Would Do
	Written: by Tom Wright
	1/00
	
	He decried to me, I'm hungry,
	and have no funds for bread nor meat.
	The fuel tank in my shack called home
	has no propane to give it heat.
	
	Again, he said I'm ailing,
	with...

Only on his palm were cowries
And thread-cloaked bullhorn found.
Only on his neck we found 
The  coral beads of truth and courage.
Only on  his hands lies the
Pearl of selflessness and 
Emblem of  Pedantry.
Only on his waist we found
The girdle of love  for...

Playing WinLose conservative
rather than defaulting WinWin Green Liberation,
sets up the ultimate epic double-bind,
a NegativgEnergy
anti-trusting reverberation
against Earth's co-gravitation.

If I choose to Win alone
then I loosely choose LoseLose.
If I choose to Win together
then I tightly,
more richly,
densely,
resonantly,
polyculturally revolve
PositivEnergy resilience.

Taoist systems thinking
associates Yang dominance
with LeftBrain deductive-languaged WesternRed dominance
and secularizing...

Once I was an alien
because of family ties
Once I was a sailor man
Told recruitment lies
Now I am a veteran
with socialized security
A part time postal carrier
With attitude and purity
I subsidize my poverty
By working for myself
In sickness and in health
I am earthbound as an autumn leaf
Blazing colors...

I was listening to our Commissioner
of Economic and Community Development
speak of how happy she is
our State and Federal tax revenues
now subsidize two,
possibly even three, submarines
per year
rather than the mere one per year
of the bad old unemployment days.

Her enthusiasm
continued over growth in military manufacturing
of fission and...

If we invested more educational mentoring time
sharing our own mixed-use and neglectful abuse
poetic wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing exegetical LeftBrain histories,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier together
and to internally die less, apart.

An under-exploited difference between comedy and tragedy
may discover you have a story...

Look in mirror
Two faces
But one
Medal
Two faces
Of terror
One face
is hunger
The other face
Is anger
Subsidize of hopeless
It may need to change
The course
To relief
the hunger
to restore
The hope
from horror
In terror...

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"

Not a crock of ... but bull heave me,

management job at McDonald's,

courtesy a turncoat,
who cozied up
