Premium Member Honesty The Best Academic Policy (Poetry Challenge Friendly)

Open the door 
Welcome to the professional relationship war
Opportunity knocks 
Wanting investment stock 
Offering salary positions
Full-time committed commissions 
Benefits are great 
For you and a mate 
Travelling collegiate towns 
Going down 
Alpha Beta Road 
Enduring wintry cold 
First place opportunity went 
House fraternity rent 
Brothers answered knock 
Calculated the luring stock 
Requested a brochure
When opportunity stepped off the floor  
Accepting escort to the door 
Finding another place 
Hoping to receive a smiling face
Innocent and bright 
Wearing wedding white 
And engagement ring from her knight 
Both ready for the real-life fight 
Opportunity gave the door a tap 
Woke the Sorority sister from a between class nap 
Throwing a pitch
Sounding quick and rich 
She exclaimed 
Not playing a game
“A.I. 
Senior replied 
Wrote you are a lie 
We have Wi-Fi 
Don't even try" 
Rejected 
Dejected 
Opportunity still acted cool 
Not being a fool
Walked over to where there's brew  
Needed a break 
Find out how much students want to make 
Discovering academics at stake 
Opportunity pondered a bit 
Thinking what would fit 
When Honesty walked in 
Knowing how to win 
One over 
When scholars mature, get older 
"You look hot 
Join me in my spot" 
Opportunity did knock 
Wanting investment stocks 
"Only if you speak the truth
Or honesty will hit the roof 
You see opportunity when you knock 
Your stock 
Better be real 
Or it's a no deal 
There are many fakes 
And hate 
Out there 
Our new generation is aware 
And they do care
Future should be filled with dreams 
Not angry computerized screams 
You must love thy neighbor 
And the waiter 
Since they could be the one 
When success is done" 
"Honesty, you should not be ignored
May I open the door 
And share 
Ideas, creative and fair"
"I got this," 
Honesty blew opportunity a kiss 
"We maybe broke 
But still can joke 
Reality is on our side 
A light that guides
Showing vigilant nerve 
Until we get what we deserve 
A true blessen
Confronting political recession
Since deception 
That is not our fault 
Should be caught 
And will haunt 
Those doing wrong
Singing our campus fight song" 
Opportunity figured day end arrived 
And said goodbye 
Leaving the course 
Feeling remorse

and ramifications in all walks

Coven chanting children murmured Luddites be damned! 

Thus spake Zarathustra (cue the opening scene 
from Planet of the Apes)

Premium Member A Good Eye and a Good Heart

       Who is like unto you among the nations, O Israel
           A nation with a good eye and a good heart
       Protecting its non-Jews as fiercely as she does her Jews  
           Even going beyond her borders 
                 ~ to protect Syria’s community of Druze*

       Just as she did from 1977 to ‘91
          to airlift the Beta Israel from war-torn Ethiopia**
       Had Israel not rescued them, 
               ~ the Beta would have been ‘gamma, gone and done’ 

       I too participated in that miracle
          teaching three Beta men Ivrit ***
       Ever grateful to Israel for saving their lives
          for helping them recover traditions so sweet



    __________________________________________________    
     *Members of the Druze community in Israel have been vital
       contributors to Israel ever since statehood. Israel, therefore,
       is protecting Druze in southern Syria from attacks on them
       by the new 'revolutionary government' (= terrorists) there.  

    **Ethiopia fought an 'endless war' against Eritrea in the last
        quarter of the 20th century. Eritrea was backed by the for-
        mer Soviet Union, and inflicted heavy losses on Ethiopia. 
        Many Jews there lost their families, homes, etc., including
        the men whom I was privileged to teach.

   ***'Ivrit' means 'Hebrew' in the Hebrew Language.

Premium Member WTFWT - A Brewed Surprise

At the coffee shop, a chap walked in,
Ordered a latte, wore a sly grin.
With a carrot, he stirred, no spoon in sight,
Perplexed, I stared, as my thoughts took flight.

The buzzing barista continued her work,
Same as the patrons, did not notice the quirk.
In loud sounds of chat, my mind left to wander,
A carrot in coffee? A concept to ponder!

No others had noticed by time he had gone, 
And I said, "WTFWT, on this very dawn?" 
The insanity of sighting a veggie conductor,
Beta carotene coffee? A caffeine constructor!

Alas, I sipped my drink, a secret to declare,
Not java but whiskey, the truth now laid bare.
A twist in my brew, a profound virtuoso,
Special ingredient that gives coffee its mojo.

The buzz in the shop matched the buzz in my cup,
Unraveled the mystery of the orange root foul-up.
At end, the coffee shop's great unsurprise,
Was due to my whiskey, not his carrot supplies!

Premium Member War Without a Weapon

A different weapon conceived in Wuhan 

A Poisoned Jab? 

Don't ask me.

The sky is no longer brilliant with the tint of Truth 

A strange world this,

These covert crime overlooked by justice. 

communism seeks dominance by invention, 

Pollutes the air, subjecting all to  speculations, 

The Marxist shuts her door from investigation.  

A gas inhaled needing a cure, 

The media accomplice for dictators.

Pharmaceutical rushed to  the lab with different names, 

A greed controlled world.

opinion censored to stiffen logical thinkers. 

disputing every solution to offer their Greek gift,

And the guessing of bourgeois with synthetic substance.

in less than a year,  

human experiment called a Vaccine.

no time to observe efficacy. 

Celebrities rushed for Jabs for the Camera 

advertising to lure the hesitant intelligent,   

The media invades homes with propaganda. 

globalist compelling all by Force.

luring the greedy with a flat-out Bribe 

Take vaccine and win a Million dollars, they say. 

Close your brain as you  wear imposed  Mask

disfigured beauty stigmatized by unverified suspicions. 

Suddenly the Origin of Corona are Okay.

Wuhan and the entire China are Covid free with closed door.

China dictates global economy by obstruction, 

Just a Button from a Lab,

globalist becomes advocates for Vaccines, 

denying you of Voluntary consent, 

The first Jab becomes a second Jab,

Then a Third being conceived, 

Oh! you still have it after the Vaccine they say, 

Of what use is it then? 

A question you must not ask.

Then they began a naming ceremony to confuse us. 

Alpha,  

Beta,

Gamma,

Delta they say. 

From

censorship, 

to propaganda,

Then shaming, 

after that bonanza or Bribery, 

gradually they take your rights away through cohesion and Force. 

As china Laugh the world to stupor. 

Is China winning a war without a gun? 

Think! think! think again.

Premium Member A Love Song

Oh my Love! The throb and thrill of my life!
Why remain so elusive like will-o’- the- wisp?
Why vanish quickly like a delightful dream
Why fade out like a symphony sweet?

Won’t you come to me to ease my pain
To herald for me a new dawn
To transport me to worlds intangible
To be ever with me as my guardian angel

Hold my hand when I am about to fall
Help me set new goals when I am lost
Make me laugh when I am low
Infuse courage when I develop cold feet

Show me dew drops that I can see diamonds
Feed me with home fare that I may taste Ambrosia
Gift me a rose that a thousand blooms instantly burst open
Talk high of me that rainbows may arch around my sky

Why take your glance off, if you do so, I will wither like a flower
If you show a cold shoulder, I am sure to grow frozen inside
If you speak roughly, I would hear rumblings of thunder in my ear
If you turn your back, my heart will break into shards

Like the setting sun nose diving into the depths,
Like two streams that flow and merge as one,
And travel miles to run down to the sea
Let us plunge into eternity to be in love ever and anon!

Mind and Sound

Only light can penetrate the 
darkness
that resides in the default state 
of mind
I descend from beta to delta 
through
binaural beats; instantly caught 
between frequencies beyond 
time 

I absorb amplitudes of acoustic 
energy
and I learn to just be earth 
Since I am the earth 
and because I am of
the one that is the source of its 
existence, 
I've owned the power of 
omnificence 

I realize now that I AM because
HE is since I am from that, a 
descendant 
Created in the image of a 
thought
and a feeling from the 
Universal Mind
I tune in to this vibration from 
rhythmic
pulse that manipulates 
subconscious minds

Immersed  between 4 and 7 
hertz;
brainwaves halt to a conscious 
sleep
All  chakras are aligned shining 
crown energy 
and now my consciousness 
begins to reap! 
and light begins to penetrate 
the harmonious beams
that were already there
constant and always there 

is now flooded with sound 
patterns
that force brainwaves to submit 
to power
of omnipresent sound that 
always was 
and always will be connected to 
the Source from which I came
so I extend exponentially 
beyond;
physical time and space

I long to embrace the intensity 
of gamma rays
I give way to the coded sounds 
that resonate from the inner 
core
and continue to connect 
through the binaural beats that 
-  
remind me of before

Always familiar but ignored
until found by gaining 
knowledge of self
I listen with the intent to excel 
while reaping an abundance of 
benefits and rewards
Listen!! 
It's already yours

Just reach out and grab it 
as long as intention and ego is 
checked
the universe will correspond 
accordingly
it will deliver a life to you divine 
and orderly
Just listen to the sounds that 
were there from before
They will guide to to the 
vibration from the core
and it will guide you to connect 
directly with the source

Ain'T Gonna Happen, Babe

You say the there’s no need for grit,
that acting tough is all ‘toxic,’
tell me I should learn new tricks,
that ain’t gonna happen, babe.

You think I should never have to grunt,
or speak of things direct and blunt,
nor go to the range to shoot my gun,
that ain’t gonna happen, babe

You prattle on about ‘feminine sides,’
then get mad when I roll my eyes,
say men should be more woman-like,
it ain’t gonna happen, babe

cause I’ve noticed all those beta-males
with voices that squeak in whiny wales,
just say their ‘allies’ to get some tail,
that's what I see happen, babe

And you’ve never dated that type,
you go for steak, instead of tripe,
with a normal man you sleep at night,
that’s already happened, babe.

You’re drawn to your male compliment,
we fill gaps that have paid dividends,
it can’t work without the masculine,
that’s what has to happen, babe,
if you want this to happen, babe.

Premium Member At the First Debate

Hilary and Obama, woe-begotten
   'Centrists' like them long forgotten

Sanders' philosophy - Big Tent
   Bernie's, ahem, almost incontinent

Biden's supporting increased Medicare
   He'll smell grandma's and grandpa's gray hair 

O'Rourke's no 'Beta;' he's a Francis
   Around questions, he does artful dances

Ocasio-Cortez so wanted to run
   But paper ballots use too much carbon  

Wayne Messam's the Mayor of Miramar
   He's qualified for Vice-President of Miyanmar

Newark's ex-Mayor, the strident Kory Booker
   His pledge: In the Oval Office, no hookers

And lest we forget, there's Senator Liz Warren
   Claims to be 1/64th Indian, the moron  

Just can't wait for that first Democrat debate
   Twenty candidates -- every last one of them GREAT

Twisted mister missed a tone
known to show a coloring poem
Tongue tied & bright eYes wide

...and they smiled.

True true true said the skylark too
and the b.in.B.ees are funny! Along
the Road came the Runners bunny
...hey honey! You left your BlueGenes
