Things cease to matter
after our last check’s written,
and we face judgment

At birth God opens, a new life, bank account,
and we don’t know what is placed in reserve.
Each day then becomes a check that we write,
and life becomes the place that we will serve.
We don't know what existing balance is,
for only God has access to each book.
At times in life when we’re facing dire straits,
and we pray that God is taking a look.
As we age we sense that our funds grow low,
is cash on deposit for checks we write?
Then without warning a statement will come,
account closed do to your funds being slight.

He does not words utter
Nor heard syllables mutter
But a heartbeat is aflutter
With his sighting a shutter
Of a clinic answering “What’s the Matter”.
That would life save but funds scatter
His honest last savings shatter…
On his head a hammer’s clatter
Of a fever seeking to him batter;
A just consumed bread and butter
Vomited in excited gutter.

There was a man of some understanding
Who for projects wished to raise some funding
He approached men of great wealth
They told him:" Don't waste your breath."
For money we give, we ask refunding!

This is a great idea, tee hee,
Good suggestions are so me,
Nuisance caller was asking me,
Money for her fundraising committee,
"Right," said little old chirpy me,
"You can send cheques to me,
We need funds here desperately!"
I must say, sensitively,
Great ideas are so me,
Nuisance caller hung up on me!

I’ve watched years mount with each clock’s chime,
While traversing daily looking back in time.
A time when love, was as a glowing ember,
But were things then, as I now remember?
Today, finds time busy closing my account,
facing obstacles, that I alone can’t surmount.
But I’ll keep writing checks, being most proficient,
Until God stamps time’s account, “funds insufficient”.

Just a broken poet,
at an A.T.M.
His stomach cries out,
words hunger within
The nights are the longest,
cold darkens and chills
Fresh words on account,
new credit distills
Pushing buttons while bent,
with hope standing tall
An answer comes back,
‘Zero Funds To Withdraw’

His stomach cries out,
words hunger within
The nights are the longest,

Fresh words on account,

Pushing buttons while bent,

An answer comes back,
‘Zero Funds To Withdraw’

Aim for your goal, aim for your poise;
Be who you are, be of fond glow;
Charm speaks of soul, charm wears sure voice.
Do weave your thoughts, do word your song;
Etch dear fine star, etch style you know;
Feel surge of plot, feel work made strong.
Give joy full range, give play a chance;
Heed waves that please, heed touch that stays;
Image crafts strange, image signs dance.
Jazz up your zest, jazz up your flings;
Keep up with ease, keep up with play;
Live well your best, live what love brings.
Meet all you face, meet all you touch;
Note how you feel, note what you think;
Opt for clear trace, opt for cheer's nudge.
Peace comes to steer, peace speaks of grace;
Quest lines and heals, quest fits new links;
Reap waves of cheer, reap sense of space.
Sense a new world, sense a grand calm;
Trust heart to know, trust mind to learn;
Urge serves a twirl, urge spreads a balm.
Vouch for each day, vouch for sure stay;
Wisdom funds flow, wisdom now yearns;
eXcite fond say, eXcite free play;
Zeal ever glows, zeal ever earns.

Money slipping
Fast as sand
Where did it go?
Do not know!
Spend, spend, spend some more!
And to lend? Below poverty poor!

There lies my wallet on my bureau,
Pictures, it has ten….. money zero.
Each night I go out to check my 401K,
..They’re in the barn …eating hay.
Every day they go out to pasture to play whinny and frolic,
Dam, I hope that 401K doesn’t colic !

You do bank in your heart
My cancelled check of love
Drove us apart
Your account closed off
To any eyes but your own
And you are unlikely
To provide a loan
Makes you but a pauper to me,
Your account is worthless
As far as I can see,
No cold ATM withdrawals
No smiling teller's eyes
Seems that love
You do despise
You keep your own,
Others you disdain
Only your own,
Do you maintain...
Spendthrift of love
You'll die alone,
No one is good enough
No one will hear
Your final moan
I spend my love foolishly,
At times, I admit,
And I know,
You don't give a sh_t,
But I stand a chance,
Slim it may be,
For someone to hold my hand,
With the last light I see...
I feel sorry for you
You cheat yourself
You have no emotion,
Your soul is small
I hate to see
Your final fall
No hand for you to grasp,
No hope for you to hold,
Your soul is frigid,
Your soul is cold.
