In a world full of
misers and robbers, he gave
away prizes in
cash. His generosity
I applaud and wish to say
we get back what we
give many times multiplied.
Also what we don't
desire we surely have. He
will get more than what he gave.

Inspiration: Recent contest where he gave prizes of poetry soup membership to many.

We sit and watch the budget grow.
Not to worry, we’ll print more dough;
Our children have so much to fear
From the trillions they now will owe.
As long as we can buy more beer
We can cut our spending next year.
Until the day that we awake,
To find a reckoning drawn near.
We vote in people who just take;
More and more money they don’t make;
They think it’s theirs not ours to keep;
Oh! The horror of our mistake.
Our loss of sense runs very deep.
Huge debts on our children we heap.
The situation makes me weep.
The situation makes me weep.
an emulation of
truth is what
is wanted in order
to began a new
how can this be
true
how could a fake
facade be
what is sought
after
how could one
desire to live
within an alternative
alternate state of
internal reality
that you know full
well is not the true
state of affairs
just to appease your
need for false perception
that you would like to
live within
WHICH ANIMAL DO YOU EMULATE?
Be fast like a cheetah
Don't wait for any hater
Be vigilant like a snake
Always alert and awake
Strong like lion
Defeat every obstacle on your way to Mt.Zion
Wild like a tiger
Scare any bad omen which tries to linger
Wise like an ant
Know when you need and want
Humble like a sheep
Your shepherd will give you a place to sleep
Calm like a cat
Don't confuse mouse with a rat
Don't be lazy like the snail
Lest you are likely to fail
Don't be slow like a tortoise
lest you become susceptible to your enemies
Be neat like a duck
That will call for good luck
Don't be dirty like a pig
lest apart from meat,you become useless yet,big
Be time conscious like the hen
She knows how and when
Don't be stubborn like a goat
lest you always bring troubles to your throat
