Long Deadbeats Poems

sun rays settle skies
prism shelters diversity -
kids breaking hard bricks

wind spreads gentle seeds
prayer evokes mute silence -
too many lost souls

rain drops whet dry soil
scope scoops whirlpools of dry tears -
god should know better

earth circles tailspins
faith...

I'm not Deranged just Derailed,
Deraptured with the Devolution of Angels,
The Devilization of a Nation,
Decorum Demands that I Devalue individualism,
Some Decadent, Dilenquent, Despot shouts 
"Our hair must be black!" 
"Our hair must be pink!"
Displaying our inner...

From brick and stone built luxury, they sit immune to shame.

Hey buddy,
can you help a brother down on his luck?
Hey kind sir,
can you help a fella get propped back up?

School is over and we're on top of the world,
Our futures ready to be unfurled,

Who knows where we'll be in twenty years;
Married and with successful careers?

Or deadbeats living on each other's floors,
There's just so many...

She always thought she was a cut above others

The most beautiful, the richest , the best

A self confidence unbearably arrogant and explosive

When with her, peoples patience were put to the test


Outer beauty, plastic enhancements, riches...

Looking at people
Looking Straight Up
Up to no good
Up to something
Something is awry.
Something is wrong
Wrong if I stand up
wrong if I speak out
Abusers are sitting.
Abusers are seated
Seated in the Senate
Seated in Congress
Congress don’t speak out
Congress won’t...

Creative writing is for those 
who like to make us ponder,

Property Taxes Are An Outrage

By Elton Camp

At such time, if any, I should become king,
Property tax to an immediate end I’ll bring

It seemed a limited choice,
But a burning bush he had seen
And lo it was he found his voice.

With constituents one and all;
Courage enough to take the...

Deadbeats
Written: by Miracle Man
August 5 2021

They avoid opportunities in which to shine,
they’ve refused to work, and have chosen to whine,
Steady work would mean they might perspire,
So they depend on others for each heart’s desire.

They feel...
