Self Respect

Self respect
We use to be together 
All season before now 
Long years past we were always
Birds with same feathers
We fly and live together 
But not too long 
Little do we know that one day 
We are bound to separate
Am sorry my friends
Am doing good with out you
I found a way that most of you 
Refuse to see reason on 
You choose who you want to be 
So do I my good friend 
I own you no apology for the new me 
I still remain your friend
Despite the changes and challenges
You got to understand me so 
We can continue to relate 
But remember I will not 
Allow our relationship to make me lose my 
Self respect


Self respect
Sometimes silence are better than words 
Sometimes distance are better off 
Than togetherness in nothingness
There is no friendship among
The sheep's and the lions
If you can't flow on my frequency
Then we can't relate properly
Remember everyone got an opinion
Don't hate me cos mine is different
We cant still build an understanding
Despite who we chose to be 
All I need is a friend like a brother
A friend like a lover 
Corporation instead of competition
If you truly love me 
Respect my silence
Respect my Ways 
Honour my pride and
Please don't touch my 
Self respect

What the Farmland Wind Shall Bring

In the dark
By candle
At my kitchen table
I begin to sign the monthly checks.

Soon the sun will rise

A flood lifting an orchard light
Of cherries and white clouds
Dappled blossoms
From the bottom of my feet
To just below my eyes

I peak above the neighbor’s horizon

The farm fields of knee-high spring wheat
Is combed by a young wind
Shredding the tips
Of the green swells
To silver-backed dollar bills
Undulating across the velvet hills

The wind reaches our old house
Jiggles the door
Loosens its hinges

Memories
Come in

Inquires of me
Directions to the big city

A pair of auburn fawns nuzzle at the bird feeder
Spinning it like a compass

An accomplice
I point to

A farmer moves to his mustard yellow field
With a trailing tractor tornado

Carves the dry Earth with fury

Seeks his fortune like a corporation
Out the backdoor
Black and spinning

Pages flapping from my bookshelf

Our house is left of children
Breathing
Creaking

Like the single White Pine
Next door
In the Sunfield Cemetery
Roaring
To the unsettled horses

As it tears
From the planet
To the smoldering wick
Of the setting sun.

Premium Member unpaid thoughts

satisfaction is always provisional

I’m happy, my life is full of somethingnesses 
I want nothing and have everything. 

Well, not everything and not all at once.
Even broad joy needs disclaimers, I suppose.

Truth be told, I’d like a rare porterhouse steak or a pizza about now.

You can get anything with WiFi
Well, with WiFi and a compute device.
Ok, WiFi, a compute device, and money.
Dang, WiFi, a compute device, the Internet and money.
Jesus! WiFi, a compute device, the Internet, a passkey or two, 
and money.
It’s funny how necessities tend to grow - like a bill.

That could be a systems-check for joy.

On the downside, I suppose there are things you can’t get,
like, true love, time, discretion, taste and meaning.

I’m not sure how I stumbled into philosophy.

While I was thinking about it, I turned to Peter (my bf) and told him:
“I could break-up with you, but never with capitalism.”

I’ve found that honesty can be self-incriminating

He just looked at me.

“I’ve an emotional attachment to self-interested acquisitioning,” 
I confessed.

“I’m shocked,” he reported.

I think infrastructure is the real protagonist here.

These were unpaid, unsponsored thoughts.

Premium Member 419 Scam

To my brothers and sisters in North America:
I am a deposed prince hiding in Nigeria.
That is a country located in central Africa.

I once headed the National Petroleum Corporation.
A deadly civil war has engulfed our nation.
Many lives have been lost with widespread devastation.

I have a sum of twenty million dollars hidden away.
Help me smuggle it out of the country someway.
I cannot let the rebels come and steal it today.

You can have thirty percent of what I have on hand.
It is safely in a bank account in Switzerland.
The money is freely available on demand.

All I need is two thousand dollars for a processing fee.
Wire it at a Western Union office for me.
Time is important.  Please send it immediately.

This all looks good enough to believe.
Those Americans and Canadians are so naïve.
Wait until you see that money we will receive.

A Nation's Demise

A nation's demise

Women's rights are at a crossroads, the right to go up to the top in any corporation, sit at the table making decisions that might be useful for the firm, but unsafe 
for the society impressed by the powerful.
The highest accolade, often overlooked, is to give birth to a new life, only a woman can do this, but we appear
to forget what is important
The continuation of human life.
Women, married or not ought to have four children if civil life as we know it is continuing, that means a society must free women economically to pursue this 
noble aim; not as mere breeders, but loved members of
our nation,
Abortion is killing the nations in Europe, we must understand this before we end up a minority and a culture alien to us
No woman should have to go through a pang of regret
when the embryo, before it is conscious, is robbed of the chance of becoming a child.

Premium Member Corporate Speak

When the president said ‘misunderestimated’
Everybody wondered, ‘was he ever educated’
But I forgive him that, for the thing that makes me ‘EEK!’
Is the mad proliferation of Corporation Speak…

For thirteen years a desk paid my rent
As I gave a hundred and ten percent
While progress chasing, the big knobs suggested
I could perhaps be more invested
 
They said action that
And try blue sky thinking
Let’s square the circle
Cos floating ain’t sinking
 
So pick it up and run with it
But bring it to the table
And hit the ground running
Don’t smoke in the stable

Scare the ghost
Feel the commotion
Peel the onion
Boil the ocean
 
If you’re out of the loop
Go punch the puppy
We’ll take it on board 
(While I punch the yuppie)

So here’s the game changer
Think outside the box
We need joined up thinking 
Heads up, shoot the fox

It’s a no brainer, for it’s got legs
The tastiest coffee still has dregs
So find a window, bump some heads
You can’t make an omelette without cracking eggs

So let’s all sing from the same hymn sheet 
For we live in a world full of corporate speak

Jeremy Corbyn

I'm kind of taken by Jeremy Corbyn, the man and his success, 
And believe that for the leadership role he may be able to dress; 
I think what’s going unsaid is that he’s kind of in a way funny, 
Minutely, not gloomy like Brown or Miliband, but kind of somewhat sunny. 

He’s a breath of fresh air on the economy and education, 
‘Cos he’ll tax the rich more and increase the tax of corporation, 
He’ll set up a National Education Service for any and for all, 
And restrict free schools so that upon liberality they will call. 

Tax evasion will be dealt with, so Amazon and Starbucks can cower, 
And housing rents will be controlled, to let the hard-worker flower;
Immigration will not be dismissed, and welfare reform will be opposed,
And Trident will not be renewed, as political solutions will be supposed. 

The renationalisation of energy giants will stop high electricity bills, 
And Europe will centre in British politics and system safety drills;
The NHS will not be privatised but with social care it will be warm,  
And women’s workplace rights will be proffered in a massive, great big swarm. 

He'll have a Minister for the Arts, to trophy art, music, literature and poetry, 
He opposed the Iraq war, and will work with Russia at diplomacy;
He’ll fight for socialism and its beliefs, but in a modern way, considered, 
And he’ll represent normal people, because he comes from Salford. 

However, I don't like John MacDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Who should be more for the centrist view and a conscientious people reader;
His right-hand man should be someone who gives the opinion of the party’s right,
To offset Labour Leader Mr Corbyn and his radical, militant, socialistic fight.

But all the best to you, Jeremy, I hope things go your way,
And you stabilise the country with the left-wing policies of the day;
Although your shadow cabinet should be more representative in its views,
I hope that the economy rewards you for your heartfelt unionist dues.

I WAS ROME - MING THROUGH TIME.

WHEN I PASSED THROUGH A DOOR.

I WAS PART OF THE CLOUD ,

OBSERVING A WAR.

FREEDOM RIGHTS AND PRIVACY

WERE HANGING BY A THREAD.

LEGAL PROPAGANDA

BEING DRILLED INTO FOLKS HEADS.

PRIVACY IS A FRAGILE WORD.

ESPECIALLY WHEN I KNOW ,

EVERYTHING YOU EVER SAID ,

THOUGHT , HEARD OR TOLD.

GOTTA LOVE WHEN PEOPLE SAY,

THERE IS NOTHING I NEED TO HIDE.

THAT'S UNTILL I EXPOSE THE TRUTH 

YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT DENY.

INVASION OF YOUR PRIVACY,

GOES BEYOND THE SCOPE.

MANIPULATION OF YOUR THOUGHTS

HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS DOPE.

IF YOUR SUGGESTION CREATES  IDEALS

THAT BENEFIT THE CORPORATION,

YOUR SURELY GOING TO GO ALONG

WITH NO NEED FOR EXPLANATION.

INVASION OF YOUR PRIVACY,

INCLUDES THE FOODS YOU EAT.

IF BIG AGRA SAYS IT'S GOOD FOR YOU

TO JUSTIFY , YOU REPEAT.

OWNING WHAT YOU NEED TO GROW.

CORPORATIONS PATENT , AND SELL TO YOU.

GOVERNMENT , BLINDLY , GOES ALONG

AND THE POPULOUS , HAS NO CLUE.

KNOWING THINGS THAT FRIGHTEN YOU

LIKE HATRED , WARS AND CRIMES.

GOVERNMENT HAS TO PLAY ALONG

IN THE FORNICATION GAME OF MINDS.

INVASION OF YOUR PRIVACY

INCLUDES SETTING PEOPLE UP.

IF ORGANIZED CRISIS ARE EXPOSED

THE COMPROMISED COVERUP. 

ANOTHER WAY OF INVADING PRIVACY

IS STEALING PEOPLE'S TIME.

THE COMPLICIT AND COMPROMISED

CREATE CHAOS OF YOUR MIND.

MEANING THIS AND SAYING THAT

CLAIMING WRONG IS RIGHT.

WHEN CONSTANTLY BOMBARDED 

DEPLETES YOUR TIME TO FIGHT.

WHEN WEAK. , TIRED AND GIVING IN.

METAPHORICALLY , THE SHIP IS SINKING.

YOU WILL RELINQUISH "ALL" PRIVACY

DRINK WHAT THE REST ARE DRINKING

ONCE DEPENDANT ON CORPORATION

THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN HIDE.

CORPORATIONS NO LONGER NEED YOU,

YOU BECOME RAWHIDE.

IT STARTS OUT WITH YOUR PRIVACY

WITHOUT NOTICE , YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHTS

THAT'LL BE THE END , OF SOVEREIGNTY

AS HUMANITY, GIVES UP ON THE FIGHT.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IMPLANTS

FOR SURE , THERE'S NO WAY OUT.

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY

THEY'LL OWN YOU , WITHOUT A DOUBT.

YOU'RE PRESENTLY IN A LIFETIME ,

GUIDED BY SOCIOPATHS.

IF YOU DARE , DISAGREE WITH THEM

YOUR DISCARDED JUST LIKE TRASH.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , DELETES

AND SENSORS , VITAL INFORMATION.

IN OTHER WORDS , THE PSYCHOPATHS 

CONTROL YOUR DESTINATION.

Premium Member My view of an Australian Parliament

Have you ever watched a sitting
of an Australian parliament 
For thirty years or more my attention has been absent
From what I do recall
the language that they use
is full of vitriolic abuse

They have inflated audacity
in what they do believe
They are empowered to enslave us
it's a model I aggrieve

These parliamentarians, they are described as sitting members
when supposedly "democratically" elected
But are they ever sitting, seems to be they're mostly lying
It's a deceptive model, which for three decades,
I have vehemently rejected

And then to rub our noses in the dirt,
they assume the title, the honourable member. How can this be is this a joke
Dishonourable is more apt, treat the sleeping population with contempt
For so many decades this dis-empowering system
Why have the people never been awoke

Such atrocious decisions that are surely made
Conscript young men to fight another nasty corporation war
No love for humanity or for themselves
do we need them? Such direction I abhor

The irony of it all is that we are forced to vote for a so called democracy
Such corruption such a sham
war propaganda, lose your job if you're not jabbed
all these lies issued, to perpetrate a filthy scam

And there's the pensioners, the disadvantaged
who exist, just above the line of being poor
Whilst these parliamentary parasites
send millions to support a Ukraine/Russian war

I maintain no desire, for another human being
to claim he represents me, in any shape or form
And so I do declare a pledge , to do all within my power
to deviate from all political norm

How to educate the public, where does one begin
Of the treasonous system embedded deep within

My allegiance is to adhere to the principles
of our loving Father, existing hgh above
To include each and every day
a simple message of harmony peace and love
