Premium Member Paying Wages To Our Employees

She’s an old lady and she lives alone.
She loves her job, and we know she will not leave.
So, we cut her wages in half, told her on the phone.
She tries to act okay, but we think she’s peeved.

He’s a man who has fathered children all over town.
It is a wonder he has not been caught more with his pants down.
This guy has a lot of child support to pay,
So, we give him a terrific salary, so he will stay.

She is a ball buster, always griping about us being fair.
We want to fire her, but we do not dare.
Because she became the union rep, so that’s a no win.
I give her snide remarks, and a fake little grin.

He’s a guy who is a walking apology.
We pay him in video game tokens and iced tea.
He lives with his mother, so he doesn’t need much.
He works every weekend if we’re in a clutch.

Here is the union president back to bother me.
I have to admit he’s a moron, as you can see.
Wanting me to pay the same wages to all of them.
I would like to throw him in the pool for a big swim.

Premium Member On Doing Nothing

"Do nothing
and everything is done."
     LaoTse

Do no spiritual thing
and every natural climate is finished.

Become no merely natural being
and every spiritual becoming 
has already been merrily fulfilled.

Play no win/win nature
and every lose/lose spirit is working out
resolution
integrity
confluence
synergy.

Play only win/win nature
and all lose/lose spirits 
zealous
competing
totalitarian
dualistic
bigoted
supremacist
patriarchal
violent
violating
racist
sexist
ageist
xenophobic
homophobic
narcissistic
egocentric
anthro-testosteroned
become way too much ultra nonviolet work
for even the most left-hemisphere dominant
StraightWhiteWesternMale
to become deductively distracted
from inductively healthy
playful
good humored
full moon light for
multiculturing extended family life.

Do no win/lose capitalistic work
and every win/win playful communion is done.

Or, like he said,
Do No future-planning Thing
and Every past Thing is Done.

There remains
only integrity
of this Moment's 
health-wealthiest play potential.

Premium Member Retribution Is Not My Dog

Retribution is not my dog

No bone- no contrition

just another child

who does not listen

nor pay attention.

 

Karma please let um slide

i really ain't mad ...

life has beat um down enough

please Karma let um slide.

Karma, excuse my soft heart.

 

Retribution ain't always worth

the worry that it causes.

Forgive my spiteful child.

May a mother's mind intercede?

Spare them the painful warts.

 

I love them enough to ask this of you

when they hurt i hurt too,

there is no win, win situation.

Just more reaping of the whirl wind

 

Let that negativity

that they have set in motion

be tossed into the mighty sea.

Let the salt of forgiveness wash,

and toss away their lies and thievery.

 

Karma please, on my knees

I pray forgive them all.

Spare all who have trust-passed

against my good-kind deeds.

Because I love them anyway.

and "retribution is not my dog"

Premium Member Absence

some things are worth...
more than money...
they're priceless...
freedom of...

thought that...
we can recognize...
each other and...
all the while...

there is nothing there...
only data in the mind...
i have bridged that gap...
too never again wreck on...

the sandy shores of time...
there be stars to steer by...
adventures from far-cry...
and danger to freeze word...

step on board of your own accord...
there is only chance...
no win no lose...
no need to choose...

i'll leave it there because...
it's only fair...
i may not sound like i know...
what i'm talking about...

Premium Member War What Is It Good For

"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing."  "There has never been a good war nor a bad peace."  Quotations which held true for two separate generations.  Nations declare war to increase their territorially expanse into other nations where it does not belong.  They caste their covetous and greedy eyes upon rich natural resources.  Why bother to trade with other countries?  

When aggressive nations can snatch and grab their ill gotten gains.  Trade routes and access to water ways. Nations were doing this before the beginning of recorded history. Before tribal groups organized themselves.  

Focusing our attention spans. Backwards into the first Old Testament Biblical book of the Bible, Genesis.  When Cain took a stone and killed his brother Abel, because he was jealous and filled with wrath.  And people have been killing each other and declaring war ever since.

Warfare only provides an aggressive no win solutions to preexisting premediated circumstances'.  Frequently spiraling rapidly out of the control of the waring nations.  Resulting in massive genocide! Famine! Pestilences! World wide epidemics'!  Why not read the last book of the New Testament Bible,  The book of Revelations for yourselves?  All warfare succeeds in accomplishing is "making the devil laugh."  And widowers, widows, and orphans travail! 

The Bible predicts the Psalm 83 middle eastern war.  The Gog and Magog war mentioned in the Old Testament Book of the Bible, The book of Ezekiel.  And finally the Battle of Armageddon mentioned in the book of Revelations.

The second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, will occur at the sounding of the 7th trumpet.   He will be riding a white stallion, and will have an escort service.  The heavenly angels and the heavenly saints will be accompanying him.  Both the False Prophet and the False Christ will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire!  Satan, his fallen angels, demons and condemned mankind will be   
joining him one thousand years later!

The Holy Trinity, the heavenly angels and saints.  Both during the church age of trace and Tribulation saints will live to see. The one thousand year reign of Jesus Christ!  The tribulation saints only will be able to reproduce themselves.

Love in Christ Jesus!

Law Enforcement

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20 

L – Lawful bodies have the lions’ share of legally enforcing the law.
A – As a matter of fact, it is what they are all about – accountability.
W – Wishful thinking, does the world want well-being for its workforce?

E – Essentially, the electorate expects and embraces the execution of law;
N – nevertheless, a negligible number of ne’er-do-wells find notoriety in
F – fomenting fear and frenzy with felonious, unfounded activity.
O – Organized, outside operatives overtake local opposition
R – resulting in rebellion and riots wich restrict any rational protest.
C – Calm, composed complaints cannot change congressional responsibility.
E – Enforcement agents endure endless epithets and endangerment
M – minimizing their major mission of immigration management.
E – Embattled sanctuary entities are explicitly evading law enforcement;
N – needless to say, the nuclear option norm (catch and release)  is a no-win.
T – The twists and turns of Jacob’s troubled time threatens mankind – Tribulation.

Les Braves

Les Braves

(Iambic Pentameter)

Tan sands conceal deep furrows of their pain,
As churned emotions scream on the light breeze.
The rushing lather bubbles with red stain,
While mortar clouds suppress the dying wheeze,
That madly dared to reach the cliffs in vain.

The hostile bluff still taunts a flying skein,
Where warriors bravely tried to scale the crest.
The rock secretes long tales of plaintive strain,
Of ones that fought abreast for the oppressed,
and finally achieved the winning gain.

Yet no win comes without a shocking loss,
As the escarpment holds the treasured sons,
That fought the menace of the iron cross,
to fall heroic to opponents’ guns,
but proudly rest in peace ‘neath the grave’s moss


Note:  Just came back from a visit to the D Day beaches and the American cemetery at Colleville-sur-mer, a great place of reverence.

Happy Birthday George Andrew Dunning

would what that be junior? senior? sophomore?

since this brother in law rarely emails, 
     ye may scrunch countenance puzzled, 
     or on verge of emitting flatulence, 
     that if a ripper got let loose (by Jack), 

     would possibly find ja propelled, 
     thru Edgar Allan Poe's churchly 
     sepulchral tintinnabulation 
     (where for greater effect

     yukon envision imagistic ravenous bats 
     in belfry resonating air,
or perhaps blasted back 
     to the House of the rising sun), 

     BUT...gnome hatter, 
     no win tent may starkly appear
explaining inexplicable reasonable rhyme, 
     why aye dash communique 

    minus virtual trumpeting blare 
(sorry, but in the interest 
     of belated birthday cheer, 
without computer generated imagery) 

     rendered hoop fully readable, 
     sans black and white Scottish matted pixels 
constituting beloved appellation 
     unsure how to address ye perfectly clear

while sitting atop padded office chair,
pondering as already writ, 
     how to acknowledge thee, whither with dear...
meanwhile, this scribe experiences 

     comfortably numb derriere,
now scrambling, resorting, and toying 
     to fetch acceptable, catchy light hearted endear
mint, that seems tolerably acceptable 

     (of course) with flair 
acutely perceptive, though NOT overboard with glare
ring obeisance, NOR USE ALL CAPS 
     TO SCREAM so ye kin hear  

soap hull ease excuse this incurable 
     Harris scribe with thinning heir 
yes...oye gevalt, infantile regression finds me 
     burrowed in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania lair

still emotionally inchoate, though grown a mere
speck within the flotsam and jetsam near
to boyhood Collegeville abode NOT saved by a prayer
re: home companion bachelor Norwegian farmer

replaced instead by vinyl city 
     all in the name of progress
which (once a pawn a time) 
     open farmland did dis app pear

so...a gam bulling gambit 
     to avoid moseying down Level Road... 
may NOT seem *****
for insufferable sadness 

     with eyes bursting with many a tear...
(gulp) tis best to veer
away from topic uh viz er rated razed homestead, 
     and mainly wish ye another birth year!

The Aftermath From This Er

self proclaimed er calculating polymath
no win tent to kindle, 
  or spark hay8 full ire rate wrath

juiced whiling away 
  the early evening hour hath
horror hived this february 
  twenty second, nah scared to take a bath. 

The Process (is a Process All Its Own) 
eye up ply applies 
  to brain storming with zest to whit
barn storming across das plains of google 
to pitchfork embers tuff flickr tinder lee 

  with smart poetic dip pose zit
tool loom hen ate interior darkness
where lurks the monstrous akin to Perdido 
otherwise known as perdition, 

especially Native American 
  linkedin as The Buffalo Hunter
pseudonym adopted by Ballard and Sandrine, 
The Green Woman, whose Side predicted to win 

Pork Pie Hat predicated on FengShui yang and yin
force fields property aligned creates A Special Place
predominantly filled with A Dark Matter
only known (bee you wick), i.e.,The Skylark

and of course Poe's Children, totaling 5 Stories
helpful to down with a chaser 
viz - The Little Blue Book Of Rose Stories
Ideally red (red) in The Night Room,

where an unsuspected parvenu
absconded with Lost Boy, Lost Girl
housing Magic Terror, but interestingly
one must ask - Isn't It Romantic?

Via the perspective Looking Back
feigning to be combination of Mr. X, and/or
and Mrs. God innocent looking people
yet, the progenitors of The Hellfire Club

burnt offerings indistinguishable from Blue Rose
fragrance or melancholy Ghosts
resembling trumpeting Floating Dragon
invoking grabbing by The Throat sensation

Where spirits flit to and fro
throughout neighborhood Houses Without Doors
and games without frontiers
this...a millennial Mystery
unlike the generic Ghost Story,

the main anti protagonist and/or
pro antagonist, nonetheless named Koko
who calls The Juniper Tree home
especially eerie Under Venus

provoking Wild Animals
to run berserk at lightspeed
en masse Black Sabbath 
bestirs cries and whispers
proto, pseudo psychedelic 

quint essence ova thermocouple 
holo graphic images hypnotizing vista as Shadowland
explicit formula generating happy interacial Marriages
nah...ha - ah, the joe cuz on ewe
