Self Employed

I don't get paid by the hour, 
I'm employed by a higher power, 
Blooming like a flower, 
Opening up to empower, 
It was never about the dollar, 
As I shower my world with wisdom, 
Breaking apart the old system, 
Abundance comes in with them, 
Taught to condemn ourselves, 
We keep dreams on shelves, 
As we

The Taxman Cometh - the Lament of the Self Employed

His knees shake, he's feeling weak
His hands tremble and he cannot speak
He got an email early afternoon 
It's tax time again - it's much too soon 

His accountant queries things long past 
But his filing system is not up to task 
Bits of paper cover the floor 
As he prints reports by the score

A Stuntman

There're a lot of
Strange, funny and weird stories 
It's common to be employed as a stuntman in acting 
But not to be employed for something evils
But not to be employed as a scapegoat
Maybe a ghost is looking for a substitute
But it's certainly ridiculous
To look for a stand-in for sickness
To look for a stuntman for your

Fully Employed Now

Humanity keeps looking forward, toward the coming of a birth,
and we’re all deemed as equals on our first day on this earth,
but as the years go quickly by our lives become our own;
we’re seen as individuals that Mother Nature cannot clone. 

And so it is through schooling years our lives begin to vary,
our genes are

Petsmart Stratagem Employed To Generate Business

Upon Googling Petco
regarding purchasing gift card
for eldest daughter
(she tends two beautiful female felines)
Petsmart website appeared right and center
innocuously distracting purported intent.

The nearest latter named store
approximately a dozen plus miles away
whereas former specialty shop
in closer proximity to her,
she (first born offspring),
who resides within Oakland, California.

I readily admit envisioning
gamut of goodies
(to enhance Felis catus existence),
whence yours truly

A Vendor's Life

A Vendor's Life

At times, sleepless nights, 
 Filled with worry and fears;
 The life of a vendor 
Means laughter and tears.

Patience and perseverence
 Are essential and soon learned.
An exceptional ability to 
Try again once burned.

Defeat's not an option;
 There's a desire to impress.
Gifted with talents,
And a need to express.

Optimism abounds,
As doubts are chased away;
No time

Quintet Words Employed For Peace

Today, strum music rifts!
Sound, alive, dance, enjoy!
Today feels happy, lifts
you're poems final envoi.
Shush, quiet, sound shift.

Quite clear, noted cants!
Heard... monks arise... chant!

Folks enjoy life's short
trips, learn, catch today,
stark facts ensue...  abort...
you're final peace... delay!
Fears you'll often court!

Quite clear, noted cants!
Heard... monks arise... chant!
Peace stops hates' rants!
Truth, allow... makes peace.
Order hates... cease!

Quite clear, noted cants!
Heard...

Self-Employed

Star-dash cars now zip along the street,
Winking into town,
Awerving like party-colored leaves
Surfing the wind.

Everyone's going going going SOMEwhere!
Gone.  Here?  Yes!
Straight to the top!
Another perfect day
For another perfect dollar!

Mine!  I have nade it!
Now send up flowers
And sky-hearted piano players!
I want clouds to break,
And stars to take,
With craft ever true up-soaring!
Sky, sun, time----won!
Won for
