Premium Member Peacocks

Preening trains of iridescent blues and greens spread to full boast

Exquisite eye markings with blue, red and gold jewels foremost.

Adored by man, lots were made pets over thousands of years spread.

Corruption creeps need only take trains that are annually shed.

Only males are true Peacocks, females are called Peahens and they

Choose mates based on color and eyes displayed in male fans surveyed.

King of skies, their size makes them one of the largest flying birds.

Strikingly stunning, these birds are amazing visual stirs.

Apocalypse

No man knows the exact day or hour
But charlatans continually preach of an Armageddon stour
Over fallow fields they their abrasive treatises scour
Softening the hard, unyielding ground as a tidy, careful plower
With visions of doomsday they fertile hearts do shower     
Their seeds annually spring up as the perennial flower
With self-aggrandizing statements, continually their banal egos empower
Prophesying the cataclysmic end from their ivory tower
Predicting a scourging blight on every shielded bower
With their fleecing mantra distill a warning so dour   
Ignorant patrons dispossess themselves of temporal treasures and cower
With presentiments of fearsome events that will this evil world devour 
If only they would throw off the yoke of parochial tenets, emboldening discerning spirits with valour
Their hungry hearts would the chaff disperse and process the truthful remnant into a satiating flour

Premium Member Sunflower Personification of My Seed

Sunflower: Personification of my Seed
        
           Late spring I was planted a seed into the harden ground shell
                  Like a paw bearer laid me to rest I'm tired of this dirt
                 Cased covered in soil with brother seedlings round hurt
         I shouted simultaneously spouted mind crying please let me out
     Mom never told me while I was a small seed why people would eat me
                Bees and lepidopterans pollinate my larvae so annually
                I will face and tilt my body to East when I am matured
           I need to shave because I have a hairy stem help me escape
                Family symmetry based on Fibonacci Golden angels
          Blushing cause my red florets I'm helianthus the Sunflower

My spectacular prison


                          My prison is a place known all to well.
                    It brings joy to some and holds terror for most.
                    The air becomes heavy as I am forced to listen,
                 and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was declared treason.
                        the opportunities keep on getting cooler,
         but the techniques that are used have always been quite peculiar. 


                         I begin to ponder if it’s indirect torture,
                           taking its course gradually over time.
                        I wish that I could resurrect my euphoria,
       even so, I have to return annually and I have no choice but to keep this                    
                                              nostalgia.


           All I can think about upon entering those gates is my downfall.
       In spite of that, all I want to hear at the end of the year is a drumroll.
                     I’m well aware that it’s true and good for me,
                          however, it doesn’t hold a good tune,
                  Oh how I wish it could have been a better melody.

The Power of Three Thousand

Don’t tell me change is impossible.
I’ve done the math.
3,000 people.
$10 a week.
That’s $30,000 every week.
Invest it wisely, even at 3.25%.
That amounts to $1.6 million per year.
Enough to start a small business annually.
Enough to buy homes outright.
Enough to give dignity without debt.
And if thousands of groups did this?
Poverty wouldn’t need handouts.
Governments wouldn’t bleed through welfare.
Education, health, pensions—they’d thrive on the dividends of collective care.
I don’t care if you follow this.
Just don’t complain when you didn’t try.
This is how we fight unemployment.
Not with blame—
But with unity.
Not with pity—
But with the possibility.
The greatest gift you can give a child
Is a career that lasts a lifetime
Wages provide money to feed your family
creating employment worldwide 
would overcome both poverty and starvation
creating independence with employment 
lets everybody thrive 
If every  working person that could invest ten dollars per week 
Invested in groups creating employment for the unemployed 
You could create better lives for everyone

Premium Member The Autumnal Equinox

The Autumnal Equinox
By Franklin Price
9/21/2015

The Autumnal Equinox
Is but two days away
The  traveling Sun is half-way South
Will not be there to stay

The leaves on trees are changing
Soon most of them will fall
Putting hosts in hibernation
It's their heed to nature's call

Winter views will soon appear
Such wonders for the sight
The shapes of empty branches
Roosting resting birds from flight

The birds will soon be gone
Green grass will turn to brown
Winter winds will chill the air
 Snow will be falling down

Springtime buds will then appear
To  fill  the waking trees
Replacing Winter's emptiness
Renewing life that's sure to please

Returns then the heat of Summer
The Seasons' cycle now is done
I thoroughly enjoy them
Sure I'm not the only one

It's still an awesome happening
These aging eyes to see
The changing of the Seasons
Glad it happens annually

Premium Member Millionaire Salaries and Perks

Nobody from my hey-day
  good enough to play
    in today's NBA
That's what they all say

I say that's because now it's 'all work'
  a 'day-at-the-office' mentality, like a clerk
    but with multi-millionaire salaries and perks
based on individual stats, instead of unselfish teamwork

Time to pay a small fortune to see
  a Chicago Bulls victory
    Five tall, newly wealthy men
      Running around a court
in $10,000 shirts shoes and shorts



______________________________________________  
NBA stands for National Basketball Association, America's
top professional league.  The Chicago Bulls are one of 
the teams in the league. The average player's salary today 
is in the neighborhood of $6.5 million per year.  In the early
1960's the average salary was about $15,000 annually.

Martin Luther King Day

MLK day on every third Monday of January
Remember his sermons daily though you celebrate him annually
Before that balcony where the bullet sent his blood flowing like a stream
He had shared his famous words, "I have a dream."
He was no swindler looking for a benefactor
He was a visionary of a coming judgment by the content of character

Though through life his struggle never eased
He spoke of thankfully saying "If I sneezed."
The times were tense and highly racial
But today MLK's words are revered and held special
By all from all walks of life
To quell America anytime it's threatened with strife

Since then the colour of a man's skin is a little less sinister
But still far from the envisioned end of the baptist minister
The law says "equal" but perceptions linger of the otherwise
Many only suppress their hearts and wear pretence and disguise
The change of the atmosphere is yet to cause a change of hearts
Every verbal ceasefire being followed by some demeaning dart

If the God of Love inspired Dr. King
Disobeying evil law to entrench good without a spring
Then let God's moral standard be our guide
Let the law not give some too much to take in a stride
If God made them all and saw that it was good
Let not their appearance alter your mood

K. Muitherero.

Premium Member Sessions Shared With Kamar Part 2

***********************************************************************

Today we spoke about my son, Michael,
particularly about his death
and of his only baby sister, Princess Alison
and how sad it was that the two never met.
Michael’s birthday was rapidly approaching.
That’s never been a good day for me.
I won’t sit here and lie,
on that day I stay at home alone and cry
and I seem to do the same thing on his death anniversary.
As of this writing, it’s been more than a decade since
my son was taken away from me.
I was told, “Time heals all wounds. Comfort will become yours soon,”
but I’m afraid that I’d have to disagree.
Time definitely makes things much easier.
The burden of grief seems to get less with each passing day.
I hate to burst your balloon but Time healing ALL wounds?
Some wounds never heal. Some wounds never ever go away.
Imagine the ultimate worst day of your life,
not just once but twice annually every year.
Imagine how it must be, being reminded twice annually
of the worst news any loving parent could ever hear.
“Your Son is dead,” are the constant words that fill my head
every birthday, every death day, every time.
Only on those two days do I feel totally lost in a maze
of misery, grief and loss all combined.
