The Never greens

Grandma worked for the salvation army, sorting clothes.
she was part of a class called the working poor.
On occasion she'd take us shopping downtown 
this was long before downtown went crazy.
She would buy brother and I a toy-maybe a treat.
Did I mention that was before downtown went crazy.
Today it isn't safe for anybody,
and crazy is spreading

Turnip Greens

There is plenty of sunshine beaming down,
And plenty of water too; enough to astound
There has been an abundance of rain,
Moisturizing major crops of grain

And our vegetable garden out back
Appear to be thriving and has no lack

Cucumbers and tomatoes will be bearing soon

We also planted greens: mustards and turnips

The Blue Sea And The Field Of Greens

There are two contrasting things I see

Turkey Alive

Well, I listened to Benjamin Zephaniah,
And I kept my young turkey alive.
We had a really good blast last Christmas,
With hip-hop and reggae and jive.

We opened our presents real early,
Taking selfies and having a laugh.
I bought Turkey some really cool trainers,
And he bought me some gloves and a scarf.

Then we ate a lovely fat dinner.
I cooked

To Maintain

Rescheduling to allow enough
time so that what had been done
in 15 minutes could be done
in 7;00 minutes.
Re-learning the graft is
how he described the doings
of "Allocated Time"!
in working hours are expensive.
In Lescer often their isn't enough time
to accomplish what you wished or

In understanding time is set aside
to show how different

The Island Without Greens

The island is rich 
In natural coal minerals
A company begun mining it
People come in to force labor
For national copper
They mined the sea under it
The island turn to a fortress wall
To house the industry and the five thousand workers
They made apartments, schools, courtyards
Stores, gym, and other amenities
And made ten meter wall around the island
They name the

Separate the wet and dry
Both have life in it.

Curtains, bedsheet, couch, pillows
Motif of her room.

The Preparations of Greens

There once was a maid who could not cook
She didn't enjoy reading a book
Her mom tried to teach her chores
With those she only became bored
Gritty greens and soap took to the brook

Greens

you can not count shades of green
all the people can not
