I have occasionally wondered what is so controversial about the World Bank.
I understand protesters travel from all around Earth
to wave placards outside World Bank meetings
and I wonder why they are so riled up.

After all,
it's our...

I wilt with guilt,
self blame,
too comfortable with living midway
within this United 5%
stealing 28% of Time's encrusted fossil investment
as if by collective right
as if without loss,
no reparations for the other 95%
today
or for the 100% of future...

She’s dead
But will always stay alive
A beacon for everyone with a gripe

Thatcher snatcher was their war cry
When with apparent vigour
She tore asunder all society held dear

A divisive strong willed fighter
With femininity covering a steely frame
She...

I am content to walk alone,
but to walk in company with others
adds vigor and passion to the journey.

Rumi

Good Taoists,
although I am not sure I actually know any,
refine their inclusively subordinate clauses,
and sentences,
and contracts,

The Mystery Of Girls.

When I was just a nipper
And I was very small
I didn’t really like girls
At all

I found most were very spiteful
And when at primary school
No one wanted to kiss me
When we played in...

the world has gone wild 
we are no longer humans
but beasts in human flesh 
if not let some one explain
why this too many hips of murders
yet we party like all is...

A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,

We call ourselves the United States of America but that name seems a bit short-sighted
Yes, it’s true, we are made up of 50 states…but we are anything but united.

It seems we can’t agree on anything...

ON THE PLANTING OF TREES

The Chinese say to keep a green tree in your heart
and perhaps a singing bird will come.
Stretching fingertips to the starry skies above,
trees are perhaps silent, but they are far from...

I could never really understand
Why some women
Won’t give me the time of day
And seem to look the other way
Or I feel like I’m being hunted
And I’m their prey

I just don't get it.
I get so confused

Count Your Blessings



Count them
One by one them

I hear this desolation
As I look around me 
Woe so lonely
All this population
Left to wondering
What their lives mean
Any meaning
Just existing

Still we are told
To count our blessings
One by one them
Count...

The largest asset we own
The biggest headache we cannot disown
The greatest noose around our necks
The one that will cause economic wreck

The price of aspiration went up today
The box with a roof keeps
Delighting or frustrating

I want to talk to someone
yes out there somewhere
I know life is unbearable
I want to know
what is wrong with mankind
are we humans here 
to be unhuman
no some one should tell me...

Weaken from years of carrying a heavy load,
Confused about which path to take or which road.
Feeling lonely while there is noise all around,
Where should I turn ? where can help be found?

The bitter tears just...

A cat sniffs the crooked brown dough of the sullen moon;
The tempting smell of warm bread seems held by a glass sky
Old age, carefully steps on the glass, always ready to cry
 Like they`d learn...

In times of trouble it outshines its glow 
The supposed intrinsic value of its allure
Is a safe house in times of economic un-certainty
When money is being made but not through 
Traditional means

My Many Obnoxious Poems

A peeping eye, like pendulum, swinging through the keyhole.
Just to pass the time.
It's a curious thing.
Flicks transfixed betwixed the clicks of the ticks of the clock as it shifts.
What is it seeking?
Is it trying to...

To read or watch movies, that is the question.
When tired at workday's end, depressed about death's
certainty and my recent surgery
unable to contribute purpose
i.e., figure out whether to bomb Iran
or worship Krshna
and other gods such as...
