Best Tactics Poems

It was on one Tuesday arvo shopping at the hardware store,
When I noticed Vicar Prendegast come walking through the door,
He walked up to the counter with a strained look on his face,
I could see that he’s not happy so I let him take my place.

For the crime of whining, guilty as charged
But this shady lady's tactics need to be barred
Unfair they are
Lured me into her car
Used me for bumpity bump, my reputation is scarred

Yang's guerrilla tactics
explode my two way mirror,
unveiling camouflage Yin's indigenous strategies.

Messianic Yang fascinations
uncover Yin's mutual mentoring solidarity,
salvific yeast transmorphing light's power
into wriggling heated function,
fertilizing Her benign wet redeemer 
hospitality.

Positive forceful forms of Yang
double bound convex and concave,
held within reflecting Yin's not(not) fold,
wu-wei unformed pregnant implied...

in a rut
no, a trench.
pulled under like Ypres or Verdun
walls held up by bodies of dearly departed.
we gather here today because we have to.
so chew the dirt from fingernails, 
swim this mud sea.

draped flags,
bedsheets, tablecloth rags
set the places.

It is silent
Neon sulphuric mustard gas
It is the snare
Spilling poison, dropped chalice
You are the cupbearer
Drinking your holy communion
From ashes to rubble

I remember you
The smiling tiger
Roaring to the pounce
Fiercely tugging at life caught
Between your polished claws
Until the wall fell and celebration
We were selling bricks in bin...

Smear Tactics Did Disappear

Things that are small may seem mere
Then may be tactics which are smear
And many bad feelings they bring on
Hope pretty soon they will be gone
Bad behavior and habits disappear.

Bullies
are empowered
by your fear.

So try to be brave
when they are near.

Bullies need
to lash out
in anger.

Initially
their victims
are perfect strangers.

Bullies are
selfish and mean.

They get their
attention
by making a scene.

Bullies like
to intimidate
and oppress.

Masking insecurities
by causing duress.

Bullies often
have hurts
that need to heal.

Releasing pain
to show
how they feel.

Bullies must eventually be
brought down...

Fever pitch dreaming
finding waves;
in amble forgiveness 
touching God's grace,
but never realizing the truth
dragging through life,
always bleeding 
from the begging,
empty hands;
grasp for quantity
desperately dull,
seeking lies 
instead of lasting peace,
worldly delusion; 
blocking my point of view
breaking rightful freedoms,
testing hearts for their grief
miserably misunderstood,
lacking basic knowledge 
to give...

Care to come in-- a cup of coffee?
Comes close to corporate strategy,
And time's when ripe for tricks,
Battle-tested tactics,
Say, an impromptu hand on her knee. _____________________________________________

Corporate corridors are abuzz with tactics and strategies.
And corporate schools discuss essential difference between the two.
I spent the last few years...
