The cries of those
That lacked leadership
From that time
Till now
That vision of America
That is cried from the
Tears of those who have
Nothing but aspire to
Have
That circle which is centered
From the trust
And believing
Which tomorrow's are promised
From this today
And that eternal trust
Of believing secures the faith
Of those who trust
Backbreaking efforts of workers
Staffs who believe in
The echoes of tomorrow
Stand beside me
When those who have chores
To secure the dignity of
The learners stand with me
Might the efforts of both
Admistrater and staff
Be for that tomorrow
Which includes us all
From the homeless to the lord's
From the administration to the tasker
Those unafraid to seek the need of
All people
Lay down those burdens which hind
That they trouble the way of procession
In the sight of these people who lack the
Understanding of your troubling!

No artist can duplicate the smile of Monalisa
It's a great art piece
However a smile like that of Monalisa
Has long been imbedded in a lover's heart
Not less precious than that of Monalisa as
Love can create
Love can duplicate
Love can surpass
Love can be unique
Love can be eternal
Held to expectation cast by citizens
Mirror assures return of gilded grins
Ballroom brag pats his back
Dancer has handshakes lubricated
Dignitaries' approval demonstrated
Slide through sludge of embellishing
Climbing supply sets steep trajectory
Chainmail armour can't crack
Schedule transferred into twenty four
Long clock pours hour numb typhoon
Two day growth rubs grey flat reflection
Ajar loss odds conjure slam of rejection
Glass heart arbiter fears attack
Campsite composed becomes complex
Company pivot competitively, sniff index
Windswept wolf is braced for coals' ignite
Empire pain laid relabeled, corporate heist
Exposed turgid slapped by lack
Asset confines his value crushed for cash
Worthless in combustion, a city collapsed
Identical colts interrupted
Bid for counterpart acclaim
Business fortune corrupts
consecutive boys verbatim
21st February
Tycoon's Forbode
My son is an exact duplicate of me
In all respects born under the same tree
He's a bit more extreme
Owns a bigger dream
But really quite similar way down deep
Did Write A Duplicate
Each time I would wrote a duplicate,
Poets were perturbed and had big fit;
Me had to berate;
Poems desecrate;
They all suggested that I should quit.
Jim Horn
I wanted to see
a better version of me...
Rose-colored glasses!
A small metal object hides
most of my past,
it is the gateway into
problems and solutions,
I keep it hidden from sight -
buried deep beneath the
rubble of my life.
Every now and again
I choose to seek it out,
to search for truth,
to find honesty,
to find myself,
at times it barely
serves a purpose,
at other times it is a godsend,
showing me paths to avoid
and paths to follow.
That little metal key,
unlike any other,
is always with me,
always...
year after year.
‘ Duplicate ’
Original Me
Never Can They Copy Me ...
You, Duplicate-Thief
