Click, Clap, Ego Inflation

Click, Clap, Ego Inflation

They sit behind the veil of screen
thinking cheating is a site unseen
each clap a cheer that was never earned
everyone laughs, for the spotlight is on
shining light on the fraudsters pen
vain deceit
ghostly stats floating in silent scorn
their own applause, no one cares
what is a Baker
if your bread is  stale and unsold
your store

Premium MemberClap Your Hands


When he was 13 and I was 12,
he sang “Clap your hands
just a little bit louder,”
and I followed his playful commands.

We out there in TV land thrilled to the sound
of his superb, inimitable harmonica playing
on the wildly popular “Ed Sullivan Show.”
Stevie had us gyrating and swaying.

At the time, I didn’t know “Fingertips”
was a Billboard number

Often strangers clap louder for you than people you thought you knew

You clapped for them and they were quiet for you
Often strangers clap louder for you 
Than people you thought you knew
Many tell you that they want to see you grow
But many of them enjoy seeing you when you are at a low!
Smile for the haters
You clapped for them and they were quiet for you

Today frenemies

Let Joy Move You

Let joy move you, to capture vision divine,
Let it ignite your heart with flames that shine.
Sing new melodies to the bouncy skies,
To the ancient of days, whose love will never cease.

Transcend the limits of your life’s race,
Embrace the Word, enjoy the enlarged space.
Let joy move you, let it determine your days,
In every breath, let faith

Its Mine

I fight day and night
I fight
Every light I see is of my own devices
Every dark moment i endure is of my own devices
I fight
Even if they say my light is another's
I fight
I hold onto my strength
And do not let their gods choose for me
this is my right
My fight
I will build myself up
Without your gods and

Clap

If I say

I am wrong because I am in love
Daily like a news pages I am on your steps
I wrote My feelings on others note paper
But look at their kindness they never feel bad sometimes someone blocked my heart but I never feel bad I respect more than you that they allow and enjoy
I became

Clap For Yourself

Clap for yourself
By Michelle Morris 
09/12/2022

You're reeling
Feeling overwhelmed and adrift
So many emotions to process
From memories that just won't quit 

You don't know up from down
You don't know if you can trust yourself
You feel like you can't trust anyone
Because they all left you to hang in hell

Hold on and remember
Please, please, try to remember
That you deserve

Stomp and Clap

Stomp
your feet
Harder now
Make a big scene
Do you see that everyone is watching

Well you have an audience now, don't you
Don't disappoint
Louder now
Their hands

Life as a crow can be dodgy you know
Those humans they have funny habits
They feed every creature that lives on this planet
They even grow salad for rabbits

The nuts and the seeds and the fat balls they leave
Upon the bird table all day
So finches and robins can eat till they're full
Even starlings will have some away

But

He Genre Two

Where they speak
Where they compose
Where they brainstorm
Where they act out
To create
To make right
To edge perfection

Then it septed through
The murky waters of
Knowledge
Those who's and
and what's
Straighten out
the unfralls
Making way
For
Intreies
On who's mark
Starts the
Composment
Sounding out
What words meant
Ready
Ready
The intro's
Starting

Kamori Clap

You know I had to
leave by 1:00.
I had a date with 
Somethang Special.
So I decided to
plow both sides of the 
ole circle feild
down by
Suttle's place.
i got the edges first cause I knew
Ole Sutle's wife did laundry
on Wedsday,. Well anyway
I got about all but done
when i looked over
across the feild
and saw them two knucleheaded Gals
out there
