Ministers of Poverty

When the stomach of a child
Who has overfed rumbles, it is not 
In memory of the empty hands of the past
Or what the future holds in hand
It is to mock hunger by saying all is well for now!
All is not well for tomorrow’s grinding hunger
When the Ministers of chronic poverty 
Are the symptomatic children of gluttony.
The politicos eat their fill of the national cake
Down to their kin, while the dry crumbs
Are earmarked for poverty alleviation.

Today, like yesterday immemorial 
They formulate policies, sign MOUs
Host conferences, organize seminars
Then publish readymadecopypaste reforms
Before the press and assembly
On how to terminate the gene (ration) of poverty.
But then, await aids, charities
Foreign loans, Sani and Diezani’s loots
Which are then looted again. 

Only for the political meme
To procreate poverty, a social gene.

All is not well
When inflation drowns and hunger mounts.
You who eat until your every anatomy become fibroid
And then you say all is well.
Have you ever heard or felt
The roar and bite of empty stomachs
Or the crackling ribs of raving hunger?
And have you felt the hopelessness of trying
To perceive the aroma of tomorrow’s break of fast?

We cannot live by charities
Palliatives and crude empowerment alone
But from every sustainable development
Infrastructures and industrialization.
Our palms cannot always be spread under the sun
Awaiting bronze coin and silver manna.

No more nagging stomachs, colourless eyes 
And furrowed brows
No more the darkness distributed by PHC
No more the public wealth shared by NASS
And their fellows, the contractors
No more business monopoly, hoarding and inflation
No more the love for foreign lands and goods
To the detriment of the homeland
No more insecurity, hate speech and division
No more fraud, immorality, tribalism and mediocrity
No more laziness, vain speech and promises
No more the birth of the almajirai and abandoned projects
No more the suit, cassock and agbada ministers of poverty!


Premium Member Ego's Monstrous ComPetition

Earth had offered Her eco-centric contract
of love and synergy,
awaiting ego's personal response each day,
each moment,
eager to optimize wealthy health care cooperations 
of sacred grace.

Over an apparently inadequate lifetime
ego implied his competitive response:

I grow increasingly excited,
stimulated,
by this co-petitioning challenge
to frame our dissonance,
our operational riddles and puzzles,
games and illogistics 
and dark strategies

Measured in statistical decomposition
of the odds for sustaining life
by perfecting hatred and fear
of death's dissociative decay.

I question Earth's right to positive resolution 
and harmonic resonance,
as consonant co-governance
of enlightened ego empowering eco 
to play win/win, 
recreate without sin, 
and co-passion nicely together

This co-petition against wasted anxious time
fully exercises my right of conscience,
to re-search 0-sum ego-partisanship 
for absolute freedom from eco-dependence.

This co-petition asserts our human natural guild's unlovely preference
for contention over contentment
for sustained longing rather than resilient belonging
for uni-lateral freedom 
rather than ego/eco bilateral interdependence.

EarthMother absorbed this richly contentious compost,
this dissembling over cooperative rights of assembly
and competition challenging associative eco-creation
as too inclusive recreation,
divisive of ego's omnipotent present place 
in organic space
derived from eco's multisystemic functions 
within history's healthiest seasons.

It seems to me,
said She,
Time has unfolded an eco-systemic co-tractive gift,
born of Her binomial grace
in bilaterally felt space,
a belonging response to mutually co-tribute with ego
gratitude for bicameral mutuality
and full freedom of co-scientific consciousness,
to conjoin time's eternal moment
of past personal ego 
with future eco recentering life.

Post Scripted: "After all this time and space
repeating inhumane competitions and cooperative contractions,
deductive inducements to balance positive political space 
with negative un-ecological economic time,
thank you for remembering why RightBrain felt eco-normics
gave birth to LeftBrain's verbal ego-petitions
in our first through last breathing moment 
of win/win eco-operative identity."

morning thoughts

Morning Thoughts

Sunday morning, heavy mist clings to the building
the bay of Cascais is shrouded as a grief-striking widow 
inaudibly her sigh, but her eyes are still sea green 
Ten days ago, I made a prediction 19000 will die before Israel was sated of spilled blood, 
her primitive revenge speaks of Byzantine times
Truly, Israel is a religious state
The local news tells me  in the last two years 
three hundred thousand Brazilians have immigrated 
to Portugal this without fanfare or disapproving remark 
from conservative politicians, perhaps they have yet to notice this influx, which I think is positive.
Although Brazil and Portugal are Lucio-phonic, the incomers bring more color and wake up the staid 
Portugal often sinks into an abject sentimental Fado.
The Portuguese premier is suspected of corruption, has resigned but will keep his job until a new election 
We suspect he will be found not guilty, although he might have had a hand in the till; other people lower in the political landscape will pay the price, but Portugal has a forgiving people, or forgetful, will see them in the assembly again
In Alentejo, there are many men-choir like in Wales,  a tradition to stand under a big Carvalho clicking stones together and sing what appears sorrowful tunes
There are no Brazilians in Alentejo one wishes that some of them would come and bring music to the sad songs
Otherwise, I like Alentejo; she has the best red wine in the world, and you can't top that.

To surrender

Joshua 6:15 NIV?
[15] On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 
?Joshua 6:20-21 NIV?
[20] When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. [21] They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

Now, seeing the walls of captivity 
Building, around me from own works.
marching around six days a week stumbling.
In bondage of death and darkness.
Trying to figure a way out the depths of the pit.
Entangled in the deception of the world spirit.
In my distress I called unto the Lord.
The Lord heard my surrender,
On the seventh day when giving all to God.
The walls came tumbling down.
A Trumpet was heard of the Lord.
A presence of an overflowing Spirit.
This Spirit of the sword to circumcise the old man.
Uprooting ,everything that was going against God.
Placing a new foundation and cornerstone within.
That, the promised inheritance of the Holy Spirit might reign and dwell within to create one.
Unto ,the likeness of Christ to give all glory to God.
That, when One looks Jesus in the eyes.
There is a smile from him seeing what he died for.
Is reigning and dwelling within, a reflection of Unity.

?Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24 NIV?
[18] You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; [19] to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 
[22] But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, [23] to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, [24] to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.


From the Clarinet

Late November,
and lonely resonance of harmattan
salutes this solitude.
A weaverbird's contralto, in one
gale-sweep, lays bare the lower balustrade
of a maisonette,
and the romance of the last seasons
shoots the long throat of the clarinet...

O'classicals, on wings
ye come;
leaf cusps and petal ears —
classicals, swearing oaths of
mellifluous assembly...

Calm rhythms hasten to the
ears of Beethoven —
summon him for a serenade,
lest the dark shelter of a
decrepit day strips this solitude.

Anodyne hisses among
this hidden threshold,
curing and healing the weakness of
Clepoatra's hair, dampened with
the venom of haters of vanity.

Classicals,
rid us now of this grief of mundane
dances...
Even in death, Stravinsky hails solitude
on notes of the keys.

From the clarinet,
the bimetallism of barter —
the platitude of life and death
(symbiosis of percussions)
epitaph to the aftermath of
inveterate tradition —
now and forever...

And the clarinet looms.

Premium Member Cosmic Winks and DIY Inks

In the workshop of my waking hours,
I am the maker of my own day,
Crafting moments with a DIY attitude,
Twisting fate's threads with hands unbound.

At 6 AM, I pick up my tools,
Coffee grounds and ambition,
Mixing the elixir of caffeinated dreams,
Stirring in the alchemy of determination.

The clock ticks, a relentless metronome,
11:11 winks, an angelic muse,
As if the universe has a sense of humor,
A cosmic jest in numerical ruse.

"Make a wish," they say with a smirk,
As if dreams were granted in seconds,
But I'll forge my own destiny, thank you,
With sweat and grit, not ethereal reckonings.

No celestial arithmetic can guide these hands,
Turning the wrench of daily toil,
In the cacophony of self-made symphonies,
I dance with chaos, a rebel in the coil.

Lunchtime, a respite from the assembly line,
Sandwiches wrapped in brown paper,
I nibble on the crumbs of inspiration,
Savoring the taste of self-made capers.

The afternoon sun spills its golden ink,
I dip my pen into the daylight,
Scrawling plans on the parchment of possibility,
Mapping out a future, bold and bright.

5 PM, the whistle blows, a release,
Yet the DIY Day is far from done,
For in the studio of the evening,
I sculpt my leisure, a masterpiece begun.

Dinner is a feast of flavors and reflection,
A banquet of self-appreciation,
11:11 appears again, a cosmic wink,
Mocking the notion of divine intervention.

"Make a wish," it whispers with a smirk,
But I've outgrown such whimsical fancy,
For in the sweat of creation and the grind of will,
I find my muse, not in numbers but in the dance of circumstance.

So, here's to the makers of their own destiny,
The dreamers who wrested the real from fantasy,
In the DIY symphony of moments and minutes,
We find our purpose, our own sweet serendipity.

Critical Junctures as districts in rebuttal

Failed infrastructure cannot be redeemed 
In water bills
Also reserves and containers as volume 
May not market dialogue as planning.

The slope in volume measures naught as letters.

Only as swan songs for election planning.

Root dissection as investigation of character 

Thousand Oaks California 
System engineer elected representative of assembly.

Does not delegate nor return delegations powers in the law writings to the poor.

Thus separation of vote is held across silence 

Inside of this vote
A district does not benefit for life preserved
Only life spent as is, in complaint as used in 
Contempt of Congressional directed spending

Here am I striving to do well, rejoicing in You triumphantly
Always cleanse me to enable my holy walk daily.

Lord God, You are my ordaining Power, 
indeed accepting my service-fervour
Thank You for keeping me in Your truth, away from deceitful endeavour…
Here am I following You for my stewardship’s approved savour
Always purify me toward my desire to gain Your sweet favour.

Aftermath

When children are the target,  
We begin to write our horror stories,  
For what will remain of us in this world we call home?  
What will become of the echoes of soles and heels on the streets at dawn and twilight?  

When children are the target,  
Who will schools open their doors to?  
Who will harmonise the voices of the instructors on the assembly ground?  
Who will sit behind those desks with keen eyes, curious minds, and warm smiles?  
Who will rush out of their classrooms at the sound of the bell to the awaiting embrace?  

When children are the target,  
Who will bring colour to our days at home?  
Who will run joyfully through the sunlit fields, glowing with the leaves and petals?  
Who will sit with us, gazing at the night sky, awed by its beauty?  

When children are the target,  
Grief will rise like smoke from our homes,  
The graveyard will mourn for the trampled buds,  
The universe will rage and fume,  
The elements will be sorely displeased.  

When children are the target,  
The race we run will be futile,  
The applause will not reverberate,  
And the portrait of our society will remain perpetually blotched.
