Premium Member Renewed Glue Guy

For as long as I can remember 
I played the peacemaker role
Depend on me as the glue guy
As I try to keep things in control

Don't worry I won't rock the boat
Will keep things safe and stable 
Neatly buttoned up at all times
Sure let's just go with that fable

Was always wrapping up my worth
In fixing other people's problems
A well devised distraction tactic
To avoid my issues and not solve them

Been shifting the narrative lately 
Starting to shine my light internally
Surprised how much was unprocessed 
What a relief to delve into discovery 

Now it’s time to make a decision 
Where will my energy get directed 
Continue to subvert what I require 
Or step up to my needs that I neglected 

Doesn’t mean I cast others aside 
Actually the opposite was proved 
When I fill up my own cup first
I'm still the glue guy, just new and improved

Premium Member To the Noble and the Righteous

Maybe you shouldn't send the letter
Argued counsel in my head
But the moral compass pointed
Toward transparency instead

I have always walked the straight path
From the time I was a boy
To the noble and the righteous
Revelation brings but joy

There's no gangster or homemaker
President or CEO
That is going to subvert justice 
Not while I am on patrol

Now the careless and the reckless
Not necessarily a crime
To you I'll give a warning 
Do not cross me one more time

Like apocryphal Washington
If it's a lie I cannot tell 
Inclusive of the truth withholding
It is I who sounds the bell 

There is too much information
Some is fresh and some is not
I'll call an investigation 
And we'll find out what is what

Maybe I overreacted
Turns out there's nothing to see
Let us have it all redacted
This revolution's not on me

The Great Wall

THE GREAT WALL 
It’s funny and this is true
Years ago, I thought hopefully of being locked away
I envisioned more of an institutional setting
Nothing to do but roam in my robe
Fingertips lightly brushing the sterile, white walls as I go
No responsibility
No need to even say a word
There’d be talk of Crazy Sachs
Staring into space, wandering wordlessly

Much of this has come to pass
The walls are green and I’m a bit more verbose
But there is that talk
And not much is asked of me besides being seen not heard
I offer this anecdote
For it is the second biggest example in my life
Of the difference between fantasy and reality

Novelty fades fast
Occasionally instantaneously
Expectation begets exaggeration
Excitation leads to exasperation
All in all, between dreams and evil schemes should be a Great Wall
Mine was more an invisible fence
I passed through and was aghast to view the consequence
Slashed through thick vines for a sick crime
I was them first two pigs
Dicking around with straw and twigs
Unhinged when the wolf blew in
hit bricks because the walls were too thin
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you might find
What you want isn’t what you get once it’s got
Now you have to lie down in an unmade cot

Ruin, subvert
Cause one to hurt
Feel lower than dirt
That’s it in a nutshell
Just swell I’m in a jail cell
Bars make for a fine wall
Look, not touch at all
Plan how to build
With my unskilled
Hands that killed
Nearly

OF MASTERING TODAY’S  TIMES

Controversy has its place,
as to disagree does not necessarily 
mean to disavow; save in the event 0f
conspiracy to  subvert justice, and void the
rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness:-

Today’s controversy
over power in America,
has become so conspiratorial that
it has reached the point of bastardizing
much ideology of the founding constitution
of our present-day painfully weary nation:-

To lend some sort of legitimacy to such,
those seeking overall power by whatever means,
have now convinced the judiciary to resurrect
old legal terms to legitimize unconstitutional,
fraudulent power mongering, over those
who are victims of the old axioms echoing 
ignorance is no excuse for what is now law:-

Thus, is today’s controversial legacy of corruption,
granting itself a special master to declare, the law is
whatever his judiciary says it is, despite it being a ruling
seemingly of Neo Nazi thinking, or at its best,  fascism
in the conservatism of today’s cold war mockery: a rendering
of a truly white house down reality of a bigoted power monger’s
evil pontificated echoes to those deemed ignorant of daily bastardized
so call laws of the rape of the constitutional womb’s political equity;
daily profusely bleeding with trumped idiotic ideology:-

Essay up untill

Currency As Evidence
In that allowance of finance exist it is not done so that a business of borrowing can permit one to subvert the process of owning a business.

Example 1 grants are issued for research not profit or finance.

Example 2 liability can never free oneself
That is to say calculation of entrance is also speculation in addition to conducted crime by intent

Misnomer example
A budget in legislation is for staff salary in government.
Not for extension further.
This would send, will and does create the oversight to negate oversight.
Corruption begins in testimony of observation.

Antitrust

My penny is just

I publish essays

In poignant discussion depth female initiates interruption
Street at "at least I can control the suicide and always be the one who chooses the ending"
At a point in time before an overcomer gets to speak 
The past remains
Read into it what you alone will

Codified Allowance of Entry
Several city councilmembers are urging Mayor Eric Adams' administration to finally implement a nearly 2-year-old law requiring the city’s housing agency to inspect vacant apartments after neighbors complain of rats, leaks, open windows and other hazards.

The Council passed the measure in December 2023. It allows residents to make 311 complaints that trigger inspections of empty units in their buildings, including apartments being deliberately held off the market — a tactic known as “warehousing.” Councilmembers negotiated with the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development to begin enforcement at the start of this year.

Staff are not allowed entrance to "City"
Staff cease to be staff under violations of city code

Premium Member Their Finest Hour

The ill-equipped revolutionaries fought and died to set this nation free.
Against all odds they triumphed sending George's troops back across the sea!
The precious freedoms we cherish today were won due to their staying power.
It can truly be said of those courageous men that - "This Was Their Finest Hour!"

Men in Yankee blue held the line at Gettysburg with unwavering resolve.
Mr. Lincoln steered a steady course that a united nation might again evolve.
Alas, it took a fearful toll and bled the nation of its youthful flower.
Valiant men died to make others free - "This Was Their Finest Hour!"

In June of Forty-four, brave men stormed Normandy's shore to force a breach.
Heroic American soldiers forfeited life and limb upon that crimson beach.
They took a noble stance in order to knock the tyrannical Axis out of power.
History books will record forevermore that - "This Was Their Finest Hour!"

During the tense decades of the Cold War, dauntless warriors were on alert,
To protect and defend our priceless liberties that others sought to subvert.
Like a sturdy oak they didn't bend nor did they deign to cower!
A grateful nation will ever proclaim that - "This Was Their Finest Hour!"

Valorous American troopers yet today strive to uphold freedom's cause,
To stem the tide of terrorism that seeks to impose its despotic laws,
To bring peace to embattled peoples and install just leaders to power.
'Twill be told in generations to come that - "This Was Their Finest Hour!"

Kindness - POTD

POTD 2 July 2018

Humans are capable of ‘Changing their State’. At times, a stressful, negative fusillade can be encountered from an individual wishing to subvert a person for whatever reason.  

Lady Gaga so aptly describes this in her video clip above - and she should know through experience. 

Kindness is a sentiment no one can ultimately reject. 

Hard to do you say?  - It’s easy. 

Firstly, refuse your alter ego permission to react immediately. 
(Your alter ego is programmed to protect your from a ‘painful’ situation)

The brain is a Bio-computer and can easily be reset to ‘Default’ by breathing into your abdomen (not into your lungs), - hold and then exhale, each action performed slowly to the count of 6.  


Accusatory fingers pointing ~ eyes glowing hate
Seeds of venom spewing forth slanderous lies
Jealousy in all its inglorious green eyed splendor
Wool clothed wolves with undetectable smiles

Any tick of the clock it creeps up upon you
Evil plays no favorite it’s any man’s game
Seeming to push you up that stairway of victory
Then perniciously denigrates ~ disavowing any blame

Damned if you do ~ Damned if you don’t
Kindness perceived as weakness gets cast out the door
Tendencies to vacillate creates chinks in your armour
Resolutely walk the tight rope ~ lest your knees hit the floor

Eyes wide shut to the Evil all around us
Detach from this Chaotic Web in which we dwell
Be the Peace that ceaselessly penetrates the darkness
YOUR prerogative is to choose either ~ Heaven or HellPOTD 2 July 2018

Surviving In This World

Poets embrace the septic of poetry,
     and frighten those who are shameful and ashamed ...
     People in daily toil, pathetic practices
     find ... how then do not fight against
     the stablishment ...!?

     Rebel dissatisfied people mix melody
     and chaotic music against counterculture ...
     Ah! if these people had hopes,
     if they didn't have just that media instinct !?
     How different could this life be ....!
    
     Let us therefore understand that the sterile
     so aseptic,
     so amorphous concrete,
     heraldic, so hermetic,
     nonsense of so narcotic ...
     So on the tour, we  must subvert life
     consciously always  and always ...!

The Saving Power of the Letter S

speak softly soothe skeptical soldiers.
solicit sages solemn solace sombre soliloqy. 
silence sinister speakers speaking 
spiritless slogans spiting spightful signs
sift spontaneous sincerity signaling sooth
switch stuborn stupidities superflious supplications
supply superior supplications seeking Soverigns succor
search subtle subversion spreading such syphilis
silently subvert singularly subtle saboters
stimulate stern stewartship, stifle stinginess
spurn squawkers spurious spouting
stymie stylish subdivisions
sing songs signifying single sole solidarity
stupendously swing swift swords
stand strong stoic stern stealth
show splindors spiritual side
send special supremacys silver sight
such suitable sufficent spontanious souls
sow signals sought selflessly since salvation
savor Saviors salutory silence
seek sanctuary since sacrifice
so sacred so sadistic
saith saints suffering sagas
save sordid self searching sealed soul
sence sensation salvation shores
shun satans six six six
smell smoldering sinners smitten
solitify salvation seeing single source
