The rise in prices
Price increase becomes
Price adjustment
But the rise is something different
Unlike the tide
It only rises
And never falls
It's seasonal
Just like the durian
Every year at least once
With the Financial Report
And Unlike the durian it seldom falls
If it doesn't rise
The piece of cake is smaller
Less tasty
If it falls
The cake is even smaller
And maybe changes flavour
Unlike the fall of durians
In the olden days
Which makes everybody happy
Especially the poor planters
And the gluttons
The rise in prices
Makes most of the people sad
Especially the under income
And everybody centres on the rise
Has forgotten the rise of wages
I hope one day the wages will rise too
And never fall

Income tax season
Is no reason
For utter despair
Pulling your hair
Shedding a tear
Out of fear
You’ll be broke --
Like most folk!

They tell them the reality of yesterday is their tomorrow
Save the cries for different versions of sorrow
The world is hash but there is a God who is omnipotent
The world has abundance if they choose to be content
If their dwelling is a square foot, they should think about a refugee
If their bowls are empty they should fast, prayer is free
They traded their votes for hope and empty promises
Their offertory is a subscription enticed with a forebode blessing
They should not question their poverty, for religion extols it
They should not question the system, if they are patriotic
The system was designed for the poor to determine who rules
The system was designed for a few rich to rule over the poor
Their poverty gives the powerful power over them
Their ignorance raises few questions
Their starvation hungers for crumbs
The desperation of the governed inflates the egos of the government
Dwarfing the people into fear, inferiority complex and indoctrination
These are the bars of the gate of the prison of poverty

Federal Income and State Law
It appears that something else we saw;
Break Federal income and do state law;
Our perception;
No exception;
Even when some one has a small claw.
Jim Horn
Which one is the most comfortable?
a Federal or State pen you may be
in after you commited another sin.

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.
You can't have all you want
but not having all you need,
it's a pity, unworthy economic being,
don't expect a man plant
growing grains, fruits and juices,
rise to the heights
of your human nature's creator,
make them a gift,
and have as gift
life's gift, for piece of mind,
with our society's work.
Still hunger is a scare,
unconsciously makes you
rushing running hurrying pushing.
Why, ask your god and,
bring the answer down to earth.
Say it to the tall powers
to whom earth belongs to,
what's misery for,
while there is plenty.
Where is my piece of mind
and fulfillment.
Other species await in you,
without sorrow questions
so without negative fellings,
freer about its wellbeing.
Forces of petty power up there
must do what's needed,
powers abstract, unknown,
like the sky,
always as far as started going to it.
Who are they, that stop me,
can't really see them,
I'm changing them
and they remain the same.
A new human being may emerge,
to live life as was meant to be,
effortlessly, with society's work.only.

Shake me awake
I swear I have been gone far too long
Consumed by my own consumption
Does that make me a part of something?
Maybe comfort is lying somewhere in my possession
but not in one that I possess just yet
Time will tell but time is waiting for no-one
how easy I find that to ignore
There is always something left to achieve
but with an ever-changing focus
more and more to see but our own vision fading
now we see through the eye of lust
Purchase if you please
Dispose as you please
No need to ask please
Someone somewhere is begging please

??
Over there in the rural countryside where I'm at currently....
Gravel road, water and electrical woes are challenges daily....
Hardly any economic activities that bring in cash money..
Barring the staff in the usual government machinery...
And those in some private enterprises and companies...
The village folks are really poor and severely cash strapped...
Saved those fortunate ones in the government or private enterprises...
So reporting average income has risen to rm6k plus...
Is downright nonsense and a gigantic lie statistically .....
Salaried workers are in abundance only in urban areas...
Using their incomes severely skew the worthiness of these figures.....
It paints a vastly different picture of the economic situations on the ground...
In simple English, only pompous supercilous coated bosses and politicians...
Can believe this propaganda that average monthly income has moved up to rm6k plus...
@#$//$$##!!!!
Note.... Reported in the news today, the average monthly income in Malaysia has
risen from RM5000 (year 2012) to RM6141(Year 2014)..

The mickey mouse instructions were many,
Trying to figure tax to the penny.
From the very beginning,
My clueless head was spinning.
'Twas as readable as Kazakstani!

Income
A little oldy gave me a dollar.
I gave her two in return.
The little old lady gave me two.
I gave her three in return.
The little old lady gave me four.
I gave her five in return.
The little old lady gave me five.
I gave her five in return.
The little old lady Ask me why i only gave her five.
I said "the Government would declare it a income and I would be taxed

Income Tax Filing Time Again
By Elton Camp
It’s again time, Uncle Sam to pay
By April fifteenth is the filing day
End of January I meant to do it
I actually thought I’d hop to it
But it’s an onerous task I hate
So I continued to procrastinate
I’ll get on it next week, for sure
For tax anxiety, that’s the cure
Sam doesn’t send forms anymore
Having to print them I truly abhor
Then obtuse instructions to obey
Surely there’s a simple way to say
But it’s go from this line to that
Written by some government rat
Enter the amount from line sixteen
And be sure to guess what we mean
It was then that TurboTax I found
And it’s the best invention around
It led me through by the hand
With words I could understand
With this program so spiffy,
I finished filing in just a jiffy
With a big refund coming my way
Some of my debts I now can pay
Other programs likely do as well
But, of them, I have naught to tell

Hand over fist
Tightly bound mist
Falling change washes
Covering new day UN-derailed
Timelines metabolize truth
Driven skull to shine and buffer
Smoothie abuse, set up new booths!
A concoction of American bliss
Rage to the end of the world
See the bills unfurl
Leverage this beast
Make it complete
