Long Portfolios Poems

Once pawn a time...

About four plus weeks after
frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters
white knight still mourns swindled money
Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator
(assistant to Philadelphia attorney general)
unable to recoup forfeited funds.

While holed up in castle keep,
(albeit fetchodit...

Beware of pirates without a ship
like rebels without a transportive WinWin cooperative cause,
like ego-politicians without sacred ecological-economic portfolios.

One of the ways we communicate cooperative values
and choose not to communicate disvalues
is by how and where and...

When I was about twelve
I began to see my future
as a ruthlessly effective
overpoweringly sublime advocate for justice 
as global peace outcomed and measured,
As a courtroom drama officer
of the U.S. multicultural Court EcoSystem,
A flaring hot attorney

I have lately noticed
WinLose bottom-line business competitors
lead within for-profit rabidly accelerating circles
and are not thereby well prepared
to produce effective robust outcomes
in a more WinWin democratic public service role,
elected or appointed.

I have further noted
general decline of...

Todays Governments 
are climbing into debt
saving lives 
shutting down economies

Fighting Covid nineteen
attempting to save lives
taking us down into trillions 
of dollars and debt

Heading down into a recession
as economies fail
the depths of this recession
could plummet into...

Aristotle, who once said, “A flatterer is a friend,
Who is your inferior, or pretends to be so.”
Magician or not, the appraisal we try to defend,
Veneer covered ready, prepare for the overthrow.

And a splint named psychology...

GOING AFTER GOLD

A hundred years ago or so, the story has been told,
A fever swept across the land of going after gold.
It seemed each person caught the urge, and they just could not rest,
The cry...

What part of living requires possessions or notoriety?
What reverse inspiration invades us to make us feel doubt...

Blowing up things, unfortunately,
Birth’s the printing of endless money.
By Gov’ments and world money makers,
That overwhelm global undertakers.

Yet we cry out that war is unsound,
That it spreads grief and guts all around.
Yet money printed that’s spent...

Grass verge
Blooms swaying
Breezy sparkles;
A wandering stray dog
I see


Moments
Smiles punctuate
This waiting game;
Sudden monsoon downpour
Stranded


Bus stop
Long wait here
Dehydration;
Fondle mobile device
Self-talk


Old place
Nicole Green
Freehold condo;
Once upon a time there
We stayed


Flowers
Plumeria
Red and yellow;
Pathway for a warm stroll
So nice


Darling
There you go
Waltzing...

Save the hungry from their dread 

I have a hope of heaven.
Where the generous are free
To liberate the captives

This boom and bust economy
can take us to extremes,
raise interest rates one quarter point
and see who yells and screams.

Courage is required
when times get mean and hard,
like when a primitive restaurant
won’t take your credit card.

Financial ruin...

The non-Paralympic Worlds and Euros, that is, 
In the sport of canoeing and she has portfolios, 
In the Paralympic world as a swimmer, the biz.

Heart questions my mind:

Are you right?
Are you sure?

Mind doesn't answer heart:

Skin comes knocking on the door; sweating from unknown mistakes.
hands stand in the pathway, not sure to either lean on the wall or sit.

And could enjoy life in old age for sure

Found themselves down in the mouth 

Even the money...

The cock crows 
 Cock a doodle doo.

Though countless hours slip away
With memories unregistered
There are moments that define us
By the love and comfort offered

Portfolios filled with kindness
Will take us to a higher plane
Than resumes of apathy
Or PhDs of the inhumane

Some brains are...
