Best Summit Poems
Another day
Another memory fades
Le jardin que toujours existe
Has disappeared, disparu
An army of 40,000 destroyed
All that my childhood held dear
They arrive in planes and limos
Coal fired three piece suits
They lectured the poor
They sold platitudes like souvenirs
They had Trudeau promise all and yet nothing at all
They had the press, polluting just as the rest
Paris 2015
The grandest of caviar conferences
Performing Eco terrorism in front of your very eyes
You all applaud when in fact you should all cry
They will tax you until you die
As you breathe the fumes of their failures
They are the magicians of false hope
Singing to the masses of global complacency
I will not dance or sing
This clown as left the ring
The carbon you all hate keeps seeping in
The cows and goats feel is no sin !
"The summit cannot be seen",
what possibly can this mean?
There's always a certain goal;
vivid visions all should see
mere high bows to certainty.
Climbing for a brighter day,
will we likely lose our way?
This summit seems but a dream;
insights hit a sudden stop
finally finding the top.
Together hearts beat as one,
getting closer to the sun.
Truth in the heart, our best guide;
freed from fears of "I" and "mine",
ego takes a steep decline.
Blinded by sheer willfulness,
longings towards consciousness.
We will cling to what is dear;
our soaring spirit shall speak,
when we stagger up this peak.
Emerging through clouds on high,
new vistas to mount nearby.
Victory's a fleeting flame;
inner thoughts fade in thin air,
as one arrives, nothing's there.

catalectic iambic tetrameter
Zen koan, Moshan monk phrase
"The summit cannot be seen"
from the Hidden Lamp book
A mountain of shoes,
Tower the valley of clothes:
Holocaust landscape.

Soar as high as your wings can carry you
Up, up and away to the zenith of the highest
Mountain to touch a distant dream, to touch the
Moon, or perhaps stars and constellations
In the night sky. Push your boulder of dreams up
The summit, achieving what Sisyphus could not.

God,
In His infinite wisdom said:*
“Let there be light”
Then
He went on to create this spectacular world
For us to delight!
Man,
In his infinite "stupidity"** retorted:
“ Let there be darkness”
Then
He was set to destroy this marvelous world
With his mind's dim-witted starkness!
Now,
Man has the horrible consequence of his
Abominable crime to face
That no other is than the obliteration of
Self-centred human race!

**“Albert Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”
*** Although I do not post these days I wish to repeat what I have said before for it is important for all of us to ponder, along with the rest of the world. In some cities, as Beijing today, one cannot see more than ten meters because of pollution. I know for I have passed seven months there.
He said, he said
I am history it is not dead.
I do testify,
that they ask for more than an alibi.
My face alone! Metal to bone.
See how their discretions lie,
as trampled footpaths to my home.
He said, he said,
Division lives, but not in my head.
Privileged accusation.
It is MY face and my proud vocation
under fire.
Who is the liar?
Inflamed again with grand oration,
successors of the hateful choir.
I said, I said,
I don't know what it's like to be dead.
But I do know well,
of those who get kissed and tell,
Nay Preach! All to well,
Of tension that, but for their word,
Would cease to live, to hell return.
I was personally invited to be one of the Speakers and sit on a panel in Hong Kong on their keynote presentation of “SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGY INNOVATION”
It’s all about having a precise plan using all of Technology to the fullest
The company’s voice being the cyber space waves
Before it was just digital designs and prints to convene the message of Social Marketing
Now it is communicating live One on One and into multitudes
Technology is a powerful tool if you know how to use it
Strategy being the component in how to formulate being competitive in Social Marketing
It is no longer speak and just spread the word
The idea is making your company the frontrunner in being heard
It takes courage and determination to ride the “SURF TECHNOLOGY BOARD” and maneuvering the high cyber space waves
The words are cyber and advance
The idea is think analysis, but don’t haste
Advertising must be on target
The sales pinch being the bull’s eye to a perspective client
SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGY INNOVATION means being on the move to keep up with constant moving technology
Large audiences you want to reach mobility through out and bring awareness to what Social Marketing is all about
You must INCORPORATE, COLLABORATE AND ELEABORATE in being competitive in order for strategy to work
There must be productive objectives and an outline having primitives of sound solutions with defined analytical conclusions
Yes, that would have been my speech
I am a good communicator, and I would have taught and educate
However, I turned the summit down
I won’t be Hong Kong bound
Yet, I have Social Marketing Strategy Innovation knowledge, and I will always be around.
Now that,
Under age's snow-covered summit
I stand,
Just
Under eternity's demarcation line,
I still hope,
A few snowflakes of wisdom to harvest
Before
The moment, my soul's soaring comes,
Obeying
To the Lord's celestial command!

many people wished to know why president Macron
was denied to participate to Brics summit
in South Africa.
Could he spy on them?
Was he thinking to join Brics?
Could he interrupt the summit with his personal agendas?
President Putin could not participate to the summit
as the International Criminal Court was pushing
South African officials to arrest him which could interrupt the Brics summit.
Brazil’s president " Lula da Silva" called on Wednesday
for the Brics nations to create a common currency
for trade and investment between each other,
as a means of reducing their vulnerability
to dollar exchange-rate fluctuations.
BRICS formally announced Iran,
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Argentina,
Egypt and Ethiopia as full
members starting from
January next year.
President of South Africa received many appreciations
for the good role of negotiator and organiser
of a successful Brics summit.

I'm on top of the world
Past failure, near perfection
In the arms of happiness
Infront of a million eyes
Past failure, near perfection
At the top of the chosen path
In front of a million eyes
Above my conquered fears
At the top of the chosen path
In the arms of happiness
Above my conquered fears
I'm on top of the world
The golden sun greets the dewdrops forming in the eyes
Such a beautiful connection with the heavenly warmth from above
Meditating with the silent mountains breathing is the only sound
You hear the wind tugging at your hoodie tempting to topple you
You hold on with the gravity growing inside as each thought passes by
When the lips move to make a sound it simply evaporates into thin air
Water droplets floating upwards to the heavens to once again be clouds
Poem is inspired by Erdenebulgan Photography
(The photo showing a person sitting at the top of a summit looking to the rising sun)
I climb higher
to the summit of sky --
head in the clouds
Higher is the purpose of peace
speaking damned ill against bloodshed
As war is a brutal slave
Grinding people down into extreme poverty
Where stealing treasuries opens up a wormhole
against humanity
and makes men beasts of this burden faceless
Revealing double standards
Within codes practicing justice poor beggars
This democracy is a tailored made outfit against law and order
protection has clearly been removed
Performing it's proper role has shown many are bought
In favour of the small minority view turning words
An elitist attitude is driven purely by greed
shows one battlefield against the poor innocent souls suffering
We all become the victims of these ungodly parasites ruining our world
When our voices can no longer instruct ignorance
emotions are high running to the highest temple of faith and love
Held completely hostage and silenced by evil wrongdoing
addressing our sacred duty
victims live under a trail of tears
they hold little value to warmongers and twisted news
Deceivers are corrupting this earth through lies
This amounts to high treason such vile rotting acts of abominations
millions of women and children are left homeless
their remains the facts under famine of good morals
We climbed to Keppel Cove and pitched our tents,
others camped at Grizedale Tarn by the shore.
From either side we agreed to make ascents
getting up early on Sunday before
other hikers would be reaching the top.
By compass ascending through murk and mist
above the clouds to emerge on an outcrop
with views to exceed what any had wished.
On to the summit we came together
with friends from the south who beat us to it;
blessed as we were with glorious weather.
On the trig point I blessed a ship's biscuit
a beaker of sherry shared as a sign
of Communion with a view so divine.
Usa-Africa summit,
Where fifty four African presidents
were forced to attend " If you don't come
You will face consequences."
Huh?
Hahaaah! Hahaaah!
modern colonisations
A big blackmail which millions
Of Africans cannot
Continue to Accept.
African presidents found voiceless
As they did not have much time to express
Their thoughts
Which turned to be problems
To bring back to Africans.
They just shot thousands of photos
and videos with many USA top leaders
And brought them to people at home
than solutions.
This is not something to laugh at,
Very sad,
Sadly world friends.
Majority Africans always played
Here and
There
Till when?
I always witnessing the lack of goodwill.
How can fifty four representatives
Of billion Africans be played.
