Premium Member Standing Naked In the World of the Undressed

I was just a kid
You threw the “book” at me
Hellfire, damnation, sinner!!
Repent!!!!
I was too young
To remember “penting”
So how could I do it again??
Purgatory….
“the not quite ready for prime time
waiting room for angels”
Confession??
Hey, If I ain’t tellin’ Mom
I ain’t tellin’ nobody.
The “transubstantiation”
//I can still spell it//
I thought it was a new stop on the RED LINE.
“The Caped Crusaders”
Aka NUNS
Wielding a thunderous yard stick
(Thor had nothing on these chicks)
Catechism
The first of my many schisms.

I am still just a kid
Delving into the alleged
“Divinity of Man”
Walking in the footsteps of mystery
Dabbling in momentary beliefs
Chasing shadows on a cloudless day
Experiencing the wonder of life
Standing naked in the world of the undressed

Waking Dream

They don’t crucify prophets these days 
I told the man in my waking dream,
They have more sensitive subtle ways,
They call them rehabilitation schemes,
Talk until you suddenly find
They present you with their plan
To mould and change your mind
And make you a compliant man.
Their slogan is of free speech
To walk the party line or brother
You become outcast social leech
In a state that quickly smothers,
Buries you in modern toys,
Lures you with possessions
A world of synthetic joys
And selfish obsessions.

The eleventh commandment rules. 
The other ten mean just naught
In a sheer simplicity that fools
Thou shalt not get caught.
Don’t need crucify the prophet today
Just make him question his self worth
Or the ultimate modern way
Make him an object of mirth.
No they don’t crucify prophets these days
Maybe expose them on prime time tv
Where the media guru has his ways,
To harass and humiliate there for all to see.

Life Is Diabetic

Life is diabetic
Life is sweet 
Yet bitter 
Ever wonder why 
What we enjoy 
Could be our killer
Cos we enjoy but 
Fail to prevent
Even when the warning
Is clear 
We still run to the sweetness
Of life 
Still without minding
Just to enjoy the moment
To cry at the end 
What a civilization

Life is diabetic
You keep living
A high life 
Thinking you are 
Bigger than normal 
Enjoying your young 
Prime time like you can 
Never get old 
Forgetting to think 
Cos life is so sweet 
Especially at this time 
When the young hot blood 
Don't want to waste no time 
Yet spend time to enjoying
With ignorance 

Life is diabetic
Enjoy life yes 
But don't forget 
What is sweet 
Can kill too
Maximize your self
To be able to be in charge 
In charge of your mind 
In charge of your soul self 
In charge of your personality
In charge of your life 
Cos when you are carried
Away by the sweetness of 
Life please 
Just remember that 
Life is diabetic

Premium Member Time Flowing And Flowing

      Time flows an river flows 
       ceaseless forever.
       Time doesn’t wait …
       Who can’t value
       is most unfortunate .

       Do it in Time
      Don't waste Time  sitting idle.
      Everything is recoverable or can be regained.
      but Time as gone , gone forever.
     You can't manipulate even if you be too clever.

         In innocent childhood days,
          you are ignorant of importance of Time
         So it's duty of parents to teach 
          their children and making alert
         of proper use of Time being expert.

        But when you are grown up,
        You can spend Time according to own wish.
       Utilise every moment 
       in right path.
        You can neither create
        nor generate
        nor to stop Time.
       You can't bring back bygone Time.

        There is a fixed lifetime 
        for every being.
        None can predict 
         the length of life - time scheduled.

         Suddenly last bell can ring
        announcing ' Your Time is up. '
        So many activities are left undone 
        only because of misuse of Time.

         It's a crime to dishonour prime Time
.        This is the theory to be considered prime.

          Hello ! Teacher,
          Hello ! Preacher,
          Hello ! Writer,
          Hello ! Poet,
          ‘Time can’t wait‘ :
           Give this message
           throughout ages.

Old Man

Old Man (Splintered)

On the walk, the one with wood, along the dunes, a time to saunter
Shoes with old holes on soles now prehistoric
Clip and clop along the winter boardwalk
In the shoes is slender Sam who slides along the boards
Footwear held together with some threads and prayer
Feet too heavy to lift, due to gravity or perhaps a gentler nature
The old man sits to smell the ocean salt and pelican mist
He sits to feed the pigeons some stale official bread from his own kitchen
Rising from the bench becomes a task for cranes and tractors
Bulldozers are needed to lift the spirits
Sam holds on against the winter wind, filled with concrete hollows
Holds on to rails provided there
He retreats into his shell he calls his life
Picks up a splinter with an ouch along the way 
Through his unholy holes exposed to nature and the wood
Perhaps it is prime time to buy new shoes or soles


Turn Left at the lights

Obtuse abuse..rude platitudes shout..

About alternative attitudes..generations..

Scream at different altitudes & latitudes..

Venerate mandarins sins.. 

Generate pernicious vicissitudes

Vicious avaricious machinations..

Celebrate nations chagrin…

Pander to propaganda spin..

AI garlanded reputations..

Cohorts in suits cavort in cahoots..

Kiss or diss..the abyss

Hiss of mis-information bliss..

Arrests..capitalist corporate conquests...detests protest..

Well got egregious prior & previous..

SO

Whatever your hue or world view..

We know what's wrong..doesn't belong

Deliriously daring to dream of derring do..

The meme..prime time you probably knew..

The Force..of course..

Is also seriously strong in you..

Lens Of A Park Bench

Children's giggles, the melody I enjoy.
Glowing faces, the golden era of joy.

Their moms shout, the sun sets,
music stops—a break from hearing, "YAYAYA OUT".

Sometimes the genre shifts;
a deep convo between lovers hits.

Some cries, some smiles,
an emotional roller coaster,
a compilation of human files.

The dogs run, the air's fresh.
People exercise, talk about mesh,
share their pain, resolve them,
take the energy, smile—worth a gem.

The old tales hymns everywhere.
The grandpa reminisces about his prime time,
misses those people he still cares.

Sad one sits, prays to God.
Life's a movie I have watched.

Premium Member Time For Love

TIME FOR LOVE

      Essence of love may fade with time.
       Neither wait nor waste time, 
          being reticent or hesitant.
           Drive out wobbling!
       Bubbling blood should rush in flood.
       Make haste to progress or to impress
        never to egress.

      Amour in glamour with romantic aroma
          does not allow any dilemma.
   Bud of lavender love may not unfold petals
         on prolong waiting.

        Be loud: Speak proud in prime time.
                    Time flows and goes away forever.
             So! Dear, be prompt.
                 Come close with red rose
                  so far heart glows.
                         Proceed and propose

'T' Contest  New or Old  Poems'

 by Constance  La France

Huey's back tell your friends they'll like it




Cooey have you heard the word on the streets 8 hours of absurd beats 

Doff hat to old school cool cat rule in the hot seat sat every tune just phat

Over the moon we swoon legends croon only a buffoon lampoon’s the boon


Phew we hiss lost you and didn’t have a scooby doo how to cope without you

Heaven or Evan's sent hell bent to be the main event a magical musical present

Give Chris a kiss knew we’d miss the dope bliss did feed our need for more you


Like the thriller in Manila not a scintilla of filler just another bassline flotilla 

No fraud or clanger all banger the concorde of chords roared in our hangar

Mr Morgan on the soundtrack tiller our melody miller our weekend’s pillar

 
Won’t get too gooey eyes wet a little dewy guys prime time to tell your friends 

Can’t go wrong sound the gong funkier than cartoon loon Hong Kong Fuey 

Every gambit & skit en song ding dong laced with wit from his Sunday pulpit 

Brassy every pundit knows the culprit could only be Huey you’ll like it..stay classy

April 21 Serio Comedy 2024 Elections

The election of 2024
Presents an existential choice
Which old white grandpa dude

Both past their prime time 
Do you support for president?

Friendly, grandpa 
Who has been president
For the last three years?
Presiding over a decent economic expansion
Amid war in Europe and the Mid-east.


Or the former chaos president

Facing multiple court cases
Owing settlements for fraud
Sexual assault and defamation?

Who promises more chaos
And retribution against his enemies
In the deep state, and media.

Calling them all communists
As if an international communist threat
Was it still a thing?

Promising to deport 
Illegal aliens
And possibly withdrawing from nato
And other alliances,

and impose crippling tarrifs 
on all imports? 

Yet to his supporters
Has been anointed by god
To vanquish his enemies.

or vote for RFJ, JR
or Cornel West
or Jill Stein
or the libertarian candidate 

or just boycott the election.
staying home in disgust.

Sadly, that is our choice
On election day.
