Long Big ideas Poems

Ever wonder where big ideas come from?

Memories of FDR
from newsreel clips -
a lion-headed striking man
with rakish grin,
jaw jutting proudly, 
signature cigarette holder
clenched in his teeth
tilted ever upward...
soaring to the heavens
as he cruises by
waving to admirers
in...

The Martin family lived in a rented house across from us,
and some of the kids were forced to sleep in a converted bus.
There were thirteen kids ‘hell raising’; every one I got to know,
but the...

We sat at the only empty table. 
I'd never seen her before, 
that elegant, thirty-something lady, 
when I visited that shore. 

I was twenty-two years old, with big ideas, 
a little scruffy, a little thin....

"LUCID DREAMS"- 
Sorting out these ever pressing thoughts that are QUITE overwhelming,

Oh, what lofty goals, big ideas here
Elect me! I will serve you, absolutely
The rallying cry of promises
A double dose of opponent disparages

Not him, not her, they lie, badly, like cheap rugs
I'm your guy, I will...

They used to call it the Empire State.
But the empire isn't doing too great.
Democrats in power, big ideas they plan.
Too bad for the middle class and the forgotten man.

Low-income high rise in your village
Middle class...

SUCH BIG IDEAS

White man lies.
He is just a crack among the flies.
He is not blowing any minds.
He must know that the lives he contradicts despise him.
His stance is he is walking for a cause.
He states...

and you register with all the temp agencies that you can,
because there are no permanent jobs anymore---
there may have been when you started working at the plant,
but all those possibilities have dried up
with the rest...

I Pity the Poor Protester 
as he tries to make his case 
discredited at every turn 
by the ones who run this place 
now he’s got some big ideas 
with new tools in his hand...

THE INVISIBLE BAN

I’ve known so many men who’ve left and I prayed they’d never come back
And then there is this one dude who left the North and traveled down south
He carried his meager belongs in...

He wasn't such a bright kid,
big ideas filled his head...
my advice was always useless,
see him now in his madness!


He thought he was a genius,
flashing hundred dollars bills as fools, 
and spending money on silly things,

We were tight — we were thick as thieves 
Only we didn’t quite know it then 
Isn’t it true that a friend in need
Is your only kind of friend 

And we band of brothers

When love comes to stay at my temple
Reside and be Suprised! It will burn
Cleverly like coins in my back pocket
Love is cool,tempting, Showca$ing all the same
Let them have their day, escape/withdrawal
Love the never ending fuel,...

I Stare in the Mirror


I stare in the mirror and what do I see?
An old man with rheumy eyes looking at me.

Who is this old codger, this balding old shell,
Who cannot remember what it’s like...

BIG IDEAS


UNG!!!!  Fire was the big idea
Flaming Woolly Mammoth on a hot stick

OHH!!   The wheel was the big idea
Woolly Mammoth are heavy

Caves were the big idea
Condos of cohabitation.

Cave Drawings were the big...

A simple girl
But not really
Big ideas
Called silly

Lost in books
Survived by song
Modest looks
Childhood gone

A yellow star
Always, worn
To prove the scar
Jewish born

Her head, high
Her family frowned
She knew, not, why 
It should be down

The day came
When everything
She ever...

Assist and shift. I will also linger
In the midst of it. How will I say? 
Mention a meaningful statement.

Make a list of objects worthy of merit
They must sparkle in the dark
Glow in the light of day
And cost you your life if lost

No diamonds or gold permitted
Fossils are prohibited from all lists
Only things from...

Tell me all your big ideas
Let’s see your greatest moves
Repeat yourself a thousand times
My interest, you won’t lose

The one and only, Jackie Chan
The amazing things you did
And what you’ll do, when...

Maybe there’s no leaving and going,
no returning, no entrance nor exit.

People live on the stories they tell each other,
living by a faith that may eventually
metastasize as a growth in the mind,
a cancer that attacks any...
