With responsibility comes accountability.
Having your voter's card gives you the ability,
To elect leaders who will bring about stability,
Leaders who are dependable and have credibility.
People are leaving lives of fear and vulnerability,
Even in their homes where they should have tranquility.
Do not think you will be free, upon you too, there is liability,
In bringing bringing about peace with sustainability.
With your vote, you also can be a great facility.
Because you are a citizen with rights and eligibility.
Remember, with responsibility comes accountability.

In every generation
In every genre
People look to the
Absolute greatness
Of course those
In the circle of concern
Time to time
Tested to see
Who's best
Tested and essayed
To recognize prestige
and greatness
Sifting through the ages
In the now
Of
Tommorrow!
They sought fortune and fame
They danced in celebration
And cried in defeat
Hour after hour they labored
To be best in there feild of
excellence.
They toiled in sickness
and we're champions in
Health
they sought gold in
recognition of there
greatness
and we're right in there
they time and in all
times because they
we're best!

it can be a market crash
a global outbreak
it can be a Mount Saint Helen
for me it was Northridge, California
January 17th, 1994
I saw myself in the eyes of children
hungry, shocked, confused
clinging to mothers
their reality and the earth
both trembling underfoot
I was given no script, no rules to follow
all that was asked of me was empathy
to understand, to be one of God's children
to see nothing more became an eligibility factor
one man came bruised, bludgeoned
his stare a chisel to stone
the truth echoing from his wife
her face, her words
the doors that he crumbled
the force of his mission
to save neighbors
dozens if not more
how he flew under media scrutiny
sitting before me
my heart the only thing between them
and the miracle of sustenance
I became severed
then placed the gift of humanity
squarely at their feet

Be the light that shines in me,
A glimmer of stability,
Be the hope that carries me,
Protects my vulnerability,
Be the fight that lives in me,
My unpredictability,
Be the truth that teaches me,
Show me my own humility,
Be the dark that frightens me,
Shatters my tranquility,
Be the fear that threatens me,
And cures my instability
Be the one that honours me,
With your eligibility,
Be the one that’s there for me,
Aligned in synchronicity,
Be my eyes through which I see,
Be my deepest clarity,
Be everything you need to be,
But most of all,
Love me.

Eddy lives in the gullibility and cohesibility of a gritty city
Between assimilability civility reality and triviality
Here Eddy’s senility is merely an eligible technicality
A wink of eccentricity fragility debility futility impossibility risibility
Still under that mighty illusion of invincibility virility and viability
Invisibility’s equivalent to gentility favouring stability and incredulity
Eyes void of deceptibility infallibility predictability divisibility
Eddy is still irresistibly witty with intelligibility bordering geniality
The indelibility of his ability versus disability for agility and flexibility
Gives Eddy eligibility admissibility accessibility feasibility visibility and divisibility
Implicit credibility whimsicality spirituality frivolity and squeezability
Eddy believes there’s no margin for self-pity when you own a pretty itty bitty kitty

It usually takes me an hour to drive to the shore.
If the traffic is heavy, it may take a little more.
Along the boardwalk and marina, there are many a casino.
I can take my pick with which one to go.
I don’t have to put extra mileage on that car of mine.
Now all I have to do is visit online.
For those rather long distances, I no longer have to roam.
It is legal for me to play in my own home.
The number of different games I can try is plenty.
There is only one requirement for eligibility.
I must prove that I am a resident of New Jersey.
No longer is it necessary to travel by train or bus.
The transportation can cause a lot of fuss.
There is no need to fill up my car with gas.
However, with this internet deal, I think I will pass.

Caseworker Determining Eligibility
Cabrini-Green Projects
Chicago
The child, age two, hammocked in the half
moon of his mother’s arms, is locked
in palsy, yet moves an eyelid as I ask,
moves the other as his mother answers,
application form interrogation.
The father was a white policeman.
“Curiosity,” the mother says. “No more.
I didn’t go with him for money.”
