Ten Dollars Per Week Is Just Half Packet of Smokes

I have tried to teach people
that saving ten dollars per week
together, as a group of people 
can create wealth

If you invest each week
and help it grow,
you could buy off the internet
and sell through garage sales,

watch television
you could go to
secondhand markets
and sell at auctions

You can buy equipment 
and start your own cleaning service
thousand of people could add to my ideas
one hundred people saving ten dollars per week

Could be used to buy houses
one thousand dollars per week
fifty-two thousand dollars per year
the deposit every year for a house

the planet has six billion people 
six billion people times ten dollars per week
is sixty billion times fifty-two
the money to build anything

Desalination plants 
factories 
anything you can imagine
granted there would be problems

people buy houses 
sometimes tenants won't pay rent
people buy, franchises
and some lose thousands  

We can all watch the news
and see the risks of small business
five of six small shops 
shut down, across the road from us 

I presume, they could have made a profit
but some shops, never have customers
with rents wages and running cost 
going into business is hard

yet if people don't go into business  
nobody would have jobs
the word on the street, people say
companies get away

with not paying tax
maybe that's the truth
but companies pay wages 
and workers pay tax from those wages

So indirectly companies do pay tax
I watched a female manager
who owned a coffee shop saying 
it's not fair, the wages a too high

I can't take time off I can't afford the costs
every day she worked and struggled 
to make a profit, business is hard
but growing small business 

is what builds your economy
Mr Bill Gates started micro soft
from his back yard 
now it makes

thousands of dollars per second
Imagine what he could do
with an investment 
of sixty billion dollars per week

But I can't afford ten dollars per week
well that's true when people get only 
seventeen cents an hour
when people live in poverty

Watching their children die
ten dollars per week 
would be more than they could afford
That why I suggested 

Encouraging Industrialized nations
employees to become investors first
ten dollars per week is just half a pack of smokes
you spend more going out to the pictures

Premium Member The Road Not Taken: Per My Written Short Story

Two friends had emerged as fellows would,
And shook swore they ought not under oath
Be they two travelers, long time stood
They both looked at one pass par as good
The other went next to an outgrowth

And he took the one, twas just as near,
Yet trolling unwraps a likely stain,
As he was darkened amidst despair
He hoped and prayed his blessings is there
Not torn in shame but in truth remain

That two shared talking about that day
Reprieve steps taken accused of lack
So he held faith for another day
Still knowing all this from day to day
He know he will never stab his back

He'll face him and say, free for eyes see
In future time as his mind digest
Two souls emerged but one stood, twas he
He while one less friend, and lethal be
His absence made him like Icarus.

The Hackenschmidt Championship

Left to chance
they sorted the
best and gave
full respect to those
who had labored
before them.
by giving names
to there respected
abilities by
honoring
there finishers
with names that
that would cause one to
speak of both present and past
with an eye towards the
future.
those ambitious foes
who are then eager to show
there abilities
would stand shoulder
to shoulder
with potential foes
those who could elevate
there careers
thru competition.
" One spoke either he would
out wrest his opponent and shake his hand
or he'd beat his foe and stand on his
back to look a little bit
taller in what makes him
feel like the championship
contender that he knew he was.

League Night they dressed to represent there teams
with matching gear. It is a contractual and mandatorily
requirement by the championship committee and promoters.
The company sets the rules, the teams are formed
and each competition
both wrestling and feat is
sanctioned by the
Company(league)
each team has a coach and Manager.
And require practice to gel and perform.
Often during "Talus" Champions use this
time to scout and prepare for
challengers
who might receive championship
opp's via "league Night and Talus competition!
League Night can involve Talus type matches: but it's not
always involved with League Night competition.
Preshow competition will be seen on Pre Bout shows
that require each combatant to be present with coach or manager
with only the coach or manager allowed to speak
on the microphone.  Pre Bout feats of strength
like weightlifting
stone lifting
drag and pull
log carrying
will give each team pre bout status which
can help the team advance to a winning position
with points.
Members of the strength and feat competition
will be opened to non-company atheletes.

AS PER NORMS

This is a government office
Here everything goes by norms.
When you join as an officer
Or as a peon – a file is opened,
Yes, a file is opened.
You do not open a file,
It is opened for you in your name 
And a number is given to the file i.e. to you
Now onward
All is in passive voice,
Then on wards, whatever follows
 Is ‘as per norms’, Regulation, Rule
Set by some Macauly, the colonizer
Little over 2 centuries ago
You apply leave, 
Whether causal or earned leave
Apply ‘as per norms’
Go on a tour -
Whether official or personal 
Process through proper channel
And it is approved
As per norms
Norms should be followed,
Should never be violated
Inform when you marry
You may exceed the societal norm 
when you woo some one
but inform beforehand your marriage
‘as per norm' when you get married
First thing you do when you come to know
You are conceived or father a child
intimate the office
as per norms
so that you get
The leave entitled to see your new one’s arrival
This is as per norms
or else your child will not get the benefits
as per norms.

Your pay is fixed
You are promoted
Even bypassing someone else
As per the norms.
Some one is dead 
Or killed in an accident 
Inform for action
As per norms
Anything – a sanction for a thousand to billion
As per the norms and
Approval of competent authority is issued
You are transferred  - on public interest
Or your own request or insult on punishment
Everything as per norms
When you superannuate 
You are relieved from services 
As per the norms
So, your 30-40 years have all through been
As per norms 

After 40 years of existence in a government office
Had made you a has been
And those invaluable years would not tell you
Or those who served with you 
Were you useful, were you benefited? 
Or happy, sad.
As per norms that couldn’t be found.
 However, one thing was found 
That too very firmly
You have acquired heavy salt and pressure in the blood 
And you are very sweet with high blood sugar.
This is not as per norms of your age.

Per Se

The declaration of intent
whereas the I do's
and what have you.
"then as wife"
she spoke her voice trembling,
 she looked to the ceiling and smiled
and her whole demeaner changed
this time after clearing her voice she said
"my intent is to be your
wife< two people
on the same page,
a perfect alignment an adjustment
to make perfect the day of our new beginning!"
Her husband to be than spoke with a clear voice,
his voice sounded as if it transcended the
ages; saying" with
every fiber of my being
I shall love you!" We sat in awe
watching there transformation
and knew we were in the presences of
lovers: true lover
She got up off the couch and asked him
for his hand and leaned on him
in a awe inspiring silence.
A tear of joy came to my companions eye<
as I watched her watch them
and I then cried as well.
those who wished to be together!

per biology:

am i alive?
what classifies something as alive?

    respiration
i am breathing
but just barely
trying to capture any air i can between sobs
    growth
i am growing 
it becomes increasingly difficult 
recognizing myself in the mirror every day
and believing the next age i'm turning 
    excretion
i am excreting 
i sweat when i do pretty much anything
even though i'm always cold
is there something wrong with me?
or am i just overthinking again?
    reproduction
i am not reproducing 
i can
but i'm not sure i want to 
i wouldn't be a good mom
i'm worried i'd be too much like my own
    metabolism
i am metabolizing 
i always claimed it to be fast but maybe
it's since it doesn't have much to work with
    movement 
i am moving 
my body does it without me knowing
or being conscious 
it just moves
    response to stimuli
i am responding
i respond too much 
too dramatically 
too sensitively 

i fit all the criteria 
so i guess i am alive 
i'm just not living

Premium Member True Love As Per God

What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love
True love as per God
What is, true love
Love is what does;
and how do you know you love someone;
Did you forgive your enemy;
Did you give a charity;
Did you do more than show me;
show me that you know me;
What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;

And that you know what true love is
Man says  it's a melting feeling an essence;
I say it's beyond the every vision;
A thought within love sense of peace;
A look a warm embrace;
A gentle peck, a kiss on the face
What is love
Is it a verb;

He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;

Let me interject. . . .
is love kindness, does it understand, is it supported, comforts forgiving receiving is this love is this love;
is love respected, believed patent, judgmental, is it trusting, dearest warmth and beloved;
Are any of these things love;
What does God say love is;
Like Christ would you die for your
Friend, your sister, your brother,
Your father, your mother, any other fellow human;
Always Forgiveness, Always Obedience, 
Could these be the meaning of Love as Per God;What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love

Tu Haikus

Dull

Website designer, 
You put on your blinders, 
Take words from binders, 
Do your craft...

Danger Zone (Loser Zone)  

Hurried and Worried
Feeling like one is buried 
Everything seems scary
You are all alone 

X-Mas

Bursting with Joy...
A brand-new toy!!!  
What is it for???  
It does NOT matter anymore...  

Child  
Riding a bicycle, 
Graduating from the tricycle... 
Eating a popsicle, 
I celebrate!  

SCHOOL

Typing a document, 
What is it that you meant?  
All of the time you spent...
Was it in vain?  

Fight

Mediate a divorce, 
First, take a course... 
Your voice will grow coarse, 
Yelling and raising it with screaming matches...

Medicine

Burning out again, 
An amphetamine problem, 
I do NOT do much... 



Passed By 

First, you go too fast... 
Then, you end up being last, 
Life is a kick in the ass...

Loyalty

Crystal, my lover, 
I would NOT want another, 
Being a brother.  

Busted

The concert has stopped 
I have to go with the cops 
I hope that these charges get dropped

Blocked out
Better yet, socked out
Assault is NOT my fault

First come, 
First served, 
We all get what we deserve, 
Do NOT be a turd...

Girl 

Heard that you liked me?  
Just to spite me?  
You played your game, 
Driving me insane!  

Robot  

Remember the password?  
What is your favorite verb?  
Have NOT you heard?  
Internet security is absurd... 

Threat

Carry her purse, 
Treat her well OR-
You will end up in a hurst... 
What is worse?  
Then being cursed... 


Note 
I bet you will forget, 
All that you said, 
It is in your head, 
By the way you will soon be dead... 

Sufficient

Laptop computer, 
I am a user, 
I do NOT need a tutor, 
I do things myself... 

Shoot!  

College education, 
Stay in school, 
For this whole duration, 
I wonder about my placement, 
Will I end up in my parent’s basement?  
Fork!

Chaos Per Os

O mist, thy dawn of chaos.
O morning, discord's dew.
Flame creation, take per os!
Belladonna blue...

Rhythm, rhyme, and riddle.
The griddle pipes with heat.
No use, second fiddle!
The middle? Tasting sweet!

Forever, last a moment.
Rebellion, foment fast.
Wicker man, fire, thy lament.
Nickering mare, spell cast.

Blast off, O my intellect!
Bubble in my veins!
Golem, shall we genuflect?
Someone, take the reins.

Well, vulgarity. Disgrace.
Doubt, dismay, displace.
Time, thy shadow. Joint, thy case.
Jaunt and jig-jag, jayce.

Poison, pour. O pen mine, soar.
Two-faced god, guard door.
O for golfers yelling fore!
Grim the gauntlet gore!

Yellow queen, thanks. Generals, thy tanks.
Prisoners, shiv. Shanks.
Financiers, from the banks!
Red the rumbling ranks...

Tympani, burst. Ocean, thy thirst.
Racer, get there first.
O for warriors a-worst!
Crazy are the cursed...

Per Paparazzi

Watching & waiting while in hiding
and faking
Views for the taking but unaware
what is waiting
Freezing & shaking but is it fear or
its weather?
Snapshots for the taking posing for 
them cuz it's clever

Good best & better to shy away
from the faking
Shade is made by the sun but it's
above what it's making
Shaking what has been rooted
leaving behind hollow winds
Seeds will grow from your efforts
toward the sky lose or win

Unoriginal in sin as we have seen
this before
Jumping the broom of timelines
looking for knobs on the door
Turning in bed with a snore as if
you've slept through the test
Sleepy & lost in a dream snoozing
on good better best

Picture a snap at its best frozen
in moments of time
Painting a picture in jest with a
stoic face like a mime
Mimicking raps like a mime with
painted face like a canvas
The dry humor so wet that only
fish understand it

Above thee underhanded so keep
the slightest of hand
Close to the vest like a secret 
ducking birds on their Stan
Peacock with a colorful stance
with truth outshining the lies
Your essence shines like the sun
& this is what is despised
