As the smoke clears
From your television screen
Your wallet feels light
It makes you want to scream.
To buy a new car
Or to buy a new home
You need lots of money
Deeper in debt and alone.
It is not easy
To navigate this life
You have no savings
And everything is tight.
But it costs more
To survive every day
When will it end?
I’m referring to the pain.
Everything costs more
Groceries or gas
Banks charge more fees
How long will it last?
We common people
Have no say in the world
So we must know our place
And rely on our ‘pearls’.
Politicians the world over
Love a greasy combover
Tell copious lies
And wear gaudy ties.
Politicians the world over
Hope scandals will blow over
Have scrotum necks
And never have extramarital sex.
Politicians the world over
Perform even while hungover
Love to show piety
Especially the Christian variety.
They feather their own nest
The common people they detest
Each other they will talk-over
That’s politicians the world over.
“ Everything is fair
in Love and War.”
Why It is said so ?
Root cause is Ego.
‘Ego’ is itself selfish : No doubt.
Self -Centred : Absolute .
Most condemned word is “WAR “ !
No explanation is needed : Most clear !
Mainly to overpower other
Races, Nations, those are
weaker !
Whatever :
Only Common people are sufferers.
Tormentors are Invaders !
Mostly political Leaders.
No wonder !
Entire blame goes to administration -
obstructing progress of civilisation.
Humans mainly fight
violating human rights !
War entwined with selfish ego
somehow to forego ~
Selfish Ego to demolish ….
Peace and love to cherish !
To attain perfect civilised world
From dictionary, remove the word
‘WAR’
forever.
‘Satire is traditionally the weapon of the powerless against the powerful.’
I sit, unnoticed, in the corner
My pen poised against my paper
They do not see me for who I am,
They do not know I can expose them,
And they see me as a fly on the wall.
The dissatisfaction of the common people means nothing,
The only people who can have opinions are those who can afford them.
Wealth and power, and ruling over the people, are the only things that matter.
We are nothing but an irritation,
The slaves on whom they built their kingdom.
The world is bleeding, each must agree :
Chaotic commotion ! Indeed.
Seems ‘Morality’ to bury :
Humanity is killed by greed.
All around running corruption -
The world is bleeding, each must agree.
Root cause : Poor administration !
Leaders to spoil a country.
Common people on contrary
try to respect Moral Values !
The world is bleeding, each must agree.
Ruthless injustice continues !
Religion ‘ HUMANITY ‘
is to be followed to make free
whole world just from insanity.
The world is bleeding, each must agree.
Our church for common people
Stands here in the yard
Its shining silver steeple
Is crowned with two hearts
With hand on heart, our faith
Does not require a cross
We’re of the gentlest race
Our love is not a loss
You’ve gone, it means that I
Will carry both of shares
Until the end of time
For both our hearts I'll care
In our church I stay
Blessed with our sacred dove
Its clear as a day
I live for you, my love
I have a little request
You know it, I believe
It is no more a secret
That we shall be retrieved
So when I go, please meet me
At that old station, where
We all arrive, and greet me
Just call, and I’ll be there.
The married want
a divorce.
There's a cowboy who
can't ride a horse.
The lonely want
to be loved.
The guilty don’t want
to be judged.
The kids want
to grow-up.
The big dogs wish
they were a pup.
Grown-ups want
to be young.
Someone is holding
a smoking gun.
The common people
want to be famous?
A lot of people talk
from the anus.
The famous people
want some privacy.
The dope fiend
wants sobriety.
The gypsy longs
for a home.
The sinner seeks
to atone.
The rich want
more wealth.
The sick want
their health.
The restless long
for sleep.
The filthy rich want
it for cheap.
Make it work with
all you possess.
Be happy and live
Without stress.

This is to the humble barbers, humble farmers,
average Joannas & Joes
who give their all, day in day out,
but who most will never know
You all deserve recognition,
whether people know you by name or not
Thank you for everything you do,
It really means a lot
English poet, William Wordsworth,
wrote to serve the common people on the earth.
Along with Samuel Coleridge, the Romantic Age he started.
Support for free thought his words imparted.
I have conversed with the common man
in warm and well-worn pubs.
I have been a ribald, and a leery lout,
a seducer of barmaids.
I have been common,
the way a city pidgin is common,
its scabbed claws a common sight,
slipping in and out of poorly lit doors.
Poets are born poor, poorly treated,
and poorly thought of.
The wealthy used to be poets,
but their intelligence
was pawned and loaned to them
by the winking, wicked streets.
They made daffodils out of dog,
many swooned,
but the common people,
we spat out their perfumed souls
for they were distasteful,
much more so
than the knowing fools I talk to
in the most common of pubs.
This looks like Blink’n Wink’n and Nod the old-timer said.
He was a lifelong reader, this guy we call Frankenstein Fred.
I thought it was Wink’n Blink’n and Sod, I said to rile him up.
He rolled his eyes at me and took a sip from his coffee cup.
He knew I was kidding, and that was okay because we are friends.
We are not into the fanciest expensive coffees with the crazy blends.
We are common people who remember faerie tales and radio.
Born in the fifties, we know how to not boast or show.
Blink’n Wink’n and Nod or Wink’n Blink’n and Sod, it matters not.
We have experience knowledge, much which cannot be taught.
We remember things like the Night Before Christmas, and other stuff.
And we gladly share it with young whippersnappers without any fuss.

When we're young
Full of aspirations
Full of time
Full of ability
But actions delayed
Like most of the politicians
When we're old
Too little aspirations
Too little actions
Because too little time
Too little ability
Like the common people
But aspirations and actions
Are parts of a bond
Or a pair of lovers
That can't be separated
As politicians and people
Are closely related and dependant
Politicians got the power and authority
For actions
People got the votes
For aspirations
And fair and square indeed
The world first created by God
Jesus came with a message of good news
calling all sinners to repentance
He spoke in parables so all understood
that all who rejected Him received His sentence
Jesus spoke with simplicity and authority
for He was God's son, heavenly sent
to lead the people to believe the gospel
for only then could they truly repent
The common people heard Him gladly
for Jesus spoke with real compassion
showing He loved them to the last
moving them by His fullest action
These people weren't like the Pharisees
or the Sadducees and rulers of the land
who thought they were above all others
in reality, were blindly and a lost band
The common people were so glad
to hear Jesus every blessed word
for it brought them life and hope
in their hearts were truly stirred
("And the common people heard him gladly.")
Mark 12: 37b
