Long Get the gist Poems

Come post presidential election 2024... 

heil to the Wharton chief firebrand -
more worrisome than an ovarian cyst
every race, religion, nationality, 
gender, creed, et cetera with impunity dissed

to punch contenders throwing...

But my writing skills haven’t faded frankly…
Well, I...

As real as it gets
This can not be nixed
No more if's

Had to flip the script
With an occasional blip
On my shoulder is no chip

But I still can't satisfy this itch
It's gone beyond getting rich
A simple niche
Or...

Bleak, totally bleak said the man with the tall round hat
Then we looked and saw a large green and yellow cat
Slowly stealing through the tall brown lemon grass
Come on, come on, said Clarissa quite aghast

Then...

Too much crap coming with a high tax
Intentional not by chance
It's always been like that
Others talking behind backs
Especially after sipping out bottles from wine racks
It'll reach an end or climax
After a time lapse
Meanwhile it was...

THE LAW OF EVERYTHING & THE POWER OF INFLUENCE


Changing the world for a better ever more

I am the pillar of hope, 
I give them strength, 
that’s been my life, 
and I am now made of rock.

I was walking down to the taco joint
wearing my new conical Chinese hat,
I looked how it looked, it gave me some flair,
but some beta-hipster took issue with that.

He stalked up and said,”It’s people like you

To write the perfect ode or verse
Is inevitably every aspiring poet’s curse
To write like the greats of the past
Who somehow have managed to last
Perhaps as a guide follow Patterson or Shakespeare
But wouldn’t this just lead...

the altogether 
absolute & essential
commonality of death--- 
that beautiful final silence
with nothing else to worry about 
with nothing but a complete end 
to all suffering & all anxiety---
an eternal exhalation of all bad feelings---
both mental...

Today, Christmas Day, I offer a Christmas prayer…with hope it finds its way
to every person in the world…even those who don’t celebrate Christmas Day.

It’s a prayer for the children but written to the adults…

My life, what a waste, 
It didn’t start until it was too late, 
Not much of a childhood, not much of a fate.
Never notice, never seen, 
All them years, stuck on automatic, a machine.
The anger,...

Turning fifty ain’t all that nifty,
You might as well be turning five hundred.
You start get shifty, thrifty and whifty,
And you don’t act as young as you once did.

You know what they say, the old cliché,
Age...

Please do not laugh; yes, I am “woke,”
Volumes I’ve cried because ignorance is bliss,
That our social studies are demonstrably broke
When realities of our past we coldly dismiss.

Children won’t understand what’s amiss
For realities of the past...

The flab getting clearer
old age coming nearer
My own piece of meat

Super California twist
    Of lemon in large doses.
Eating great big mounds of it
    Can cure your halitosis.
Just don’t mix much gin with it,

I need you
Like the flowers need the rain
Like the grass needs the dew
You give me warm, fuzzy feelings
Deep down in my chest
An aching in my breast
It is you that I love the best
I need you...

The bad habits still exist,
The voices I hear still persist,

I try not to listen, I try to resist,
So I keep on hearing them but I never get the gist,

My mind and heart have been fighting,...

We started to grow apart long before the current rift
It wasn't personal, but necessary if you read & get the gist
We were closer than a pair of lips long before I met betrayal's kiss
