Premium Member Garbage - Wasteful Packaging
Our packaging simply is wrong
To hold things in place, safe and strong
The plastic hugs tight
The cardboard you fight
To open the product takes long!

And when you are done you will see
The thing you had purchased, might be
As small as your thumb
While you face huge sum
Of valueless...

The Wasteful Generation
It all started so well-life that is, under the cloudy rainy skies, under the clear blue skies.
The masters had gone-hope bekoned-now we could do it ourselves, so we taught; we, the 
renaissance generation.
But alas, we tried too much, too soon. And before we knew it,...

Wasteful Pleas
Wander only, to know loyalty
Exceptions made, only when suitable 
Friends preferred, to a claimed "love"
An agreement, reliant on incentive.  
Awaiting completion, to go unnoticed
A stair ahead, never looking back
Interest lost, through individualism 
Conversations exhaustive, kisses dutiful. 
Interactions, emotively devoid
Restraint exercised, a week to conquer
Erratic...

Wasteful
The lighting, it was over-bright
a house on a wasteful decay
a thief's knife bathed in white moon light
The LIGHTING, it was OVER-BRIGHT!
bathing now in blood in clear fright
of the very thief in gross display
The LIGHTING, it was over-bright
a...house...on a WASTEFUL....decay...

Wasteful Wind
Whistling wind
wrestling with withered leaves
on the cocoa farm
Lifting debris does not pay
I plead thee
go to our leaders' hearts
blow down their stony ramparts...

A Wasteful Search of the Spirit
Mysteries trapped in false understanding which,
Are often the questions that go unanswered in the pursuit of happiness.
Only wisdom prevents the downfall of the human spirit. 
Knowing when something or someone may at any given period of time,
May vanish, going undiscovered to the naked eye. 

The...

His Wasteful Woman
yet it was something else
something we never knew
we'd hear or understand
conceptions with the sorting's
conceived thru togetherness
her beleifs were that dividing hers from mine
would create a togetherness
from her need of mine and hers
rituals without conception
concepts without realism
confussed from the lies
she alows herself to beleive
concepts of being...

Time of the Wasteful
Sitting here thinking
wasting time
is that all I am?
holding back my tears
like you never held my hand.

Being stupid one more time
on another not to be mine
my tears go unshed
words that can't be unsaid

Splintered heart
that he's tearing apart
crying again
as I have since then

Can't ignore the pain
can't hide...

Premium Member Dark and Wasteful Rambling Conversation I
In all my artist wanderings 
Traveling through these great lands of ours

Places visited or lived in, diverse, memorable
Many messages I received...

As did so many that passed before me
Passing through each wilderness
Learning new steps to take.

          ...

Premium Member Dark and Wasteful Rambling Conversation II
Thank God, for people of order 
That disciplined, hold in people like myself.

We men, who enjoy strange living so…

In such outrageous outposts
Tempting a varied life… 

As well as early imprintings so…
Weren’t we told to be better than this challenging?

Why be vibrating on the edge of...

Premium Member Wasteful Years
2014
Another Christmas done
And it was wonderful
But now it’s sad, gone
Stomach still is full
And the day is bright
Complete
But something’s wrong
Been out for 3 Christmases
And I can’t quite 
Keep my **** together...

Wasteful and Mad
Why is this world so wasteful and mad
Where things are done that are so sad
It is time to wake up to these terrible things
And make a pact for what righteous brings

Secret and stole away in the dark of the night
Will usually mean that it is...

The Wasteful Gardener
I watched as the bee glided in and out of tiny buds collecting their treasure. I stood back in contemplation should I remove this tall proud plant that I considered a weed to be extracted. 

Garden growing free
Appreciation of life
Honey for my soul...

Wasteful Spending
The problem with other men is not 
their lack of income but the wrong 
handling of what they just earn, 
buying things that they don't 
really need. It leads 
to severe drought, 
bankruptcy, 
and failed 
dreams....
