Best Worked Up Poems

I laugh out loud
every time I hear a politician say,
that the best way to enrich a black person's life,
is to give them a job
Give them some work to do
Labor is the way out of poverty ---
are you kidding me!
They got the nerve,
telling a black person...

Charlie. I worked with Charlie for 14 years. He was a little older than me, did the same job. Sure had the "highs and lows" - he must have been manic-depressive or bipolar or something. He'd blow up, but remained a good friend. Charlie was...

Hey baby there's a roast in the oven
And all the dishes are done
I washed your socks and underwear
Now let's have some fun

Nothing In My Life Has Worked!  I Need Jesus Now!

Many times, I feel trouble and trials at every side.
I can feel the pressure of “an evil tide.”

I’ve often lost battles and have been defeated.
I feel so empty!  Like my life hasn’t been completed.

There’s...

I helped him out and this is what I came up with so its a collaboration between 
Cindy & Allan

Two Roads

 

Comprehend 

right now

the decision so hard


Meeting crossroads

containing no mergence


One travels steered roads


Another down the daunting path 

This journeyed 

numerous times before


Acknowledged by humanity

I saw this movie about a woman who was beautiful 
and when she entered the casino floor her blonde hair said,
 ”Hi! “… and the high rollers, the janitor and the fat greeter, 
felt more relaxed, more  secure, she could do that…with that 
special...

Rejoice the end of deathly days
when winter's witch worked wicked ways.
Free from dark times we sing our praise.

Now sap flows after its long fast.
Snowdrops flare white in bright contrast.
Buds nourished, now they swell and burst.

From blackest loam to spectrum glow.
Bold blue, rich purple, bright yellow
and...

Mind tormented with stresses of the day.
Misled truths and thoughts in disarray.

A purveyor of lies, they are to me.
Unfairly treated, their so-called bribery.

Against a wall, repeatedly my head pounds.
Nothing is played out right, revenge on rebound.

Just let me go to collect my dignity.
Your fibs just...

sizzling, scintillating-
tittillation from on stage
oh, the way she works that pole
would cause erections in the morgue.


legs and arms and breasts (oh damn!)
promise rare delicious delight.
and that ass would stop traffic
in the middle of a Nascar race.


but take a close look 
at those eyes...
colder than a...

to you who seems to think time is infinite
to you who seems so sure
the clock will stand hushed and still 
until you’re ready to press that button
i’m not sure what to say

i don’t share your delusion
yet strangely I must admit i relish
in the illusion that...

Temptress.

How she pointed her demeaning put-down

Of a finger

How she made thy feel sunken

And insignificant 

When she took all power and emotion

To leave thy empty and floating

In the wasteland

Could she ever change from the succubus

We know her to be.



Her all mightiness 

She shone down on you

Not,...

The Old Ways Worked 

Oh 50 years passed by with the flick of an eye
and our people got so soft don't you see
Back in the fifties people worked oh so hard
just to bring home the bacon for ye 

Well the machines oh they came and...

I will never work the graveyard shift
Because elementary students are not awake all night.
My charges whom I persuade and uplift.
They bring me all kinds of happiness and light.

My husband worked the graveyard shift
For about a year, once upon a time, many years ago.
We had two...
