Best Unaffordable Poems

Weeping Willow

The way your toes curl when you first wake up, yes I have been there to see this.
The way your nose wrinkles as you start to laugh, to this also I have been witness.
You twirl your hair and click your teeth when deep thoughts...

I knew a poet in you, a long, long time ago
You used to be naïve, still the truest, I know.

I recalled, we bought a stand-fan, an item not in the list
$30 was unaffordable, almost a luxury for us, in the gist.

I got gallbladder stones, lots...

The Life we now live seems but a deceitful drain
Rules abound that keep us all in chains
When will our saviour show us 
We are in his favour

Blessed are the rich for they can afford the price rises
Essentials are so far out of reach for us...

Dragon made the papers for that very unfortunate Church event, toots sweet.
Then Dragon, suddenly, decided to finger-paint billboards, all over the town.
He’d discovered painting was sooo cool, and wanted to, spread his joy around.
It wouldn’t have been bad, but the Mayor was on them, and...

Who is the real threat to America?
The Mexicans? The illegal immigrants? The Muslims?
Or the Manchurian Candidate in the White House?

Anybody who has ears to hear and brain to think critically
and is not a clone of the Republican Congress' mindset,
should be very concerned.

Yes , he is...

In Kenya, they are called value-added taxes, “yani VAT”.
They change and increase every year
And are placed on everything under the sun.
The prices increase daily, 
But they say it would lead to everyone paying their fair share of tax. 

They are better referred to as poverty...

What are some differences
between post-millennial Trumpism
and pre-millennial Republicanism?

I know...I know!
Republicans used to be fiscal conservatives
but now support a one trillion dollar deficit
per unaffordable health and safety care year,

Expanded deficit spending 
despite taking more from not so rich
so super-rich corporations and family dynasties
can invest less in...

Treason Reasons




                              Concreted cracks, abandoned train tracks,

I dedicate this poem to them who are ignorant and making statements on innocent girls that were raped and killed in India. 

Disturbance creates crystal ball for heeling flirt.
irresponsibilities perform failure of skills and spreads dirt.
reliabilities of options confirm the intellect of a utilizer,
that runs...

Spending My Income Tax Refund

By Elton Camp

For one like me, who to save lacks the thrift,
An annual income tax refund seems like a gift
In other years, there’s been no reason why
That something a bit special I couldn’t buy

An otherwise unaffordable gift for my wife
Or a...

Enervated little child  
could not guess from her tender mind 
about where has she gone?
She wonders and looked around
later there was a continues cry 
looking at the dad.

Poor dad didn’t utter a word 
but pat tenderly on her back
How can he explain the real...

The largest asset we own
The biggest headache we cannot disown
The greatest noose around our necks
The one that will cause economic wreck

The price of aspiration went up today
The box with a roof keeps
Delighting or frustrating
Depending on who is prating or dreaming

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
A housing bubble might erupt today
This...

Hustling keep moving
On my ground
Doing my thing
The day is hot 
But I must eat
In the ghetto
Where life is so hard
 
But I got to do 
What I have to do
To earn what it
Takes to survive


Hustling keep moving
I know you know
What it means to fight
Is not...

How Unkempt and awful I look when
I forget to shave for weeks
Often have I to put off shaving for months
Once I went unshaved for a year
Either under stress,
or workplace pressure
as a result,
 female colleagues
Avoid talking with me 
and male
Co-workers advise me to wear a mask...

Fiendish and gruesome phantasmagoric 
     denizens reigned horns of a dilemma blitzen deer
     dwelt deep inside subterranean vault perform an evil dance
haunt psychic landscape with imaginary (yet realistic) vixen
     gargoyle visitations that cast macabre trance
nocturnal unconscious invaders cavort and gallivant
