Premium Member Five Tomatoes Away

Five Tomatoes Away

Five tomatoes away
from devastation.
The bullies bully me.
They give big breaks to
corporations-While taking
unfair shares from citizens
and cutting down on
pensions and "Social Security".
I have no security!

The Arabs store on
the corner is
selling wine, beer and
cigarettes.
Sending their tax free
money home to
fight against our boys.
His taxes are
deferred, and when
time comes to pay
The business is now
switched into his cousin’s name.

One tomato is two dollars...
so I am five tomatoes away,
and I haven't had a salad today. I
am being raped, while they
are getting breaks.

I get reprimanded
severely, they are always
Shaking my tree.
I said "I have no money"
I am not living here tax free.
The levy goes
into effect on the
thirtieth day, so
I budget sparingly,
and have had no
salad today;

I am five tomatoes
away, from homelessness
and devastation;
I wish I had a break like the big
corporations

One day before
I leave this planet I hope to
find dignity.
And eat a Salad everyday
and live life healthily
never again
having to worry
about being
Five Tomatoes away.

Getting old around
here is horrible;
My senior years
unpleasant....
I paid my dues to the
I.R.S., now they
want another present.

I hope to survive
another day, while
they tax my pension;
And so, I pray....
let me eat
another salad, in spite
of being ....
Five Tomatoes Away!
So yes, I've had no tomatoes,
I've had no tomatoes today.!

Just like before another illegal war



Forget International law we’re going to war

Bloodlet betrayal Israel settles an old score

Rational regret nope they’ve done it before


Democracy trumps theocracy don't be a bore

Ideology analogy rampant hypocrisy the core

Encore beast feasts on Middle East once more


Yanks a bellicose hero no gung ho Emperor Nero

Iran has how many nuke warheads ..yep ZERO

Know North Korea has at least sixty..so hey ho 


Tehran has subverted & really perverted the Quran

Mistook a book which dearly above all is about love

Protests hushed and clearly crushed by an iron glove

Vulture that killed Persian culture and became Iran


Recurring theme yes yet another despicable regime 

We get the gist of the tryst to enlist be a misogynist

Twist with that insatiable hunger to be a warmonger


Confessed annihilation dressed up as emancipation

Just like the Vietnamese wheeze an illegal invasion

Afghanistan and Pakistan but not always only Asian 


Hark back to Iraq those weapons of mass destruction

Iran made up glory story crass Bush & Blair production

No compunction Trump’s voter slump needs a ruction


Shouting we did collar Khamenei the deadly scholar

Flouting drastic snide bully tactic plied again with pride

No better than Hezbollah raving craving every oil dollar

We holler you’re killing women & kids like the Ayatollah


Displaced races & harrowed faces can’t choose a side

Bow & kowtow right now or you’ve got nowhere to hide

Nethanyahu retinue continue with the US by their side

Permitted even after in Gaza they committed genocide


The West rules poor people just tools schools of mules

We’re not fools we know who drools over fossil fuels

But if there is a sliver of silver lining shining in the sky

Defining demise of the ersatz ex pat twa*s tax free lie

Goodbye to the whining rash brash flash hellhole Dubai!

End of the party for the Emirati Glitterati


Emirati Glitterati…sold their soul

All for an arty farty party so dull

Each troll got a very simple goal

Going for gold their Faustian role


Befriend astro knoll on pretend atoll

Look at me vanity but never a lull

Narcissist fantasy look like a doll

Maybe botox detox don't annul

Tax free captivity in goldfish bowl


Not like before well war takes its toll

Rakes get the shakes out of control

Save me plea on every single scroll

Fakes & flakes on the make must cull


Hard not to laugh at whole rigmarole

Tragic they chose their Arabic hellhole

Goodbye to Dubai magic back to Hull

Mull over becoming a prole on the dole


If there was a poll would say Tres Drole

Or on insular influencer peninsula "LOL"

The New Slaves

You’d mind us kindly once again,
for our good health, and the wealth
of the nations.

You mean … you’ll mine us,

ours will be the running sweat,
the burning toil to unshutter the breathing vents,
drain the dark shafts, pump the carrying oil, then
back to work with bright canaries
strapped to the buckling back.

We’d sing our bowed-head, whistling songs
underground in the damp earth of memories,
where we’ll again be wed
under the stars of your crosses and banners,
our dry roots will knot like twisted longtime lovers.

The grand old parents left seawards so long ago
taking the deep gold and crown diamonds
with them, and we were left, lonely
children in the wilds to fight it out
with dusty dingoes and the lion prides.

Now the proud, younger lords return
to exact their blood inheritance, tax free.
A century of tomorrow’s sunsets
will see the grandchildren abandoned
on these seething shores, again to kindle
fires against hungry tigers and slinking panthers.

Show us the canary.


Scientologists

It looked like a scene from a sci-fi film
When the aliens roam through town,
In their matching clothes with their faces set
Showing neither a smile nor frown.

With determined strides, lone or in a group,
They went scurrying to and fro
And their stark white shirts and their dark black vests
Told me all that I need to know.

Past their tax-free lairs and their fenced-in rooms 
We drove, wondering mostly why
Folks would get sucked in to this seeming cult
As reality passes them by.  

Anyone can choose how to live his life
And so, too, Scientology peeps,
But observing them, all that I can say
Is it gave me a case of the creeps.

Premium Member Imaginary Voyage

You won special invitation
To a journey overseas 
There’s no visa application
You’re not paying any fees
Easy flight is guaranteed
You’ll be pleasantly surprised
To find out all goods tax free
And the prices not too high
Voucher for accommodation
Is already paid for you
All required information
In your room with charming view
You can walk the streets of dream
You may see the best museums
Drink some coff with clotted cream
Talk sweet talk with Europeans 
So its up to your discretion
To accept a chance to see
All that causes my depression
If you still accepting me 
But you cannot hear my sorries 
Just because you’re overseas
I would rather share my worries 
With an animated breeze
That is blowing in your garden
Enters room just by caprice 
And you say - I beg your pardon
How on earth we’ve come to this?
Hear my whisper – its because
Sun is shining bright for thee
And I can’t believe it was
Same as now, without me.

Premium Member Showcasing Economic Power In a Commanding Fashion

A dry peninsula without internal flowing waters
anointed with the ointment of incredible prosperity
massaged by the fat hands of uncommon wealth
and covered by tight-fitting over-alls,
made out of an expanding economic might.

One of its regions has been so globally popularized,
ousted the bench-marks of global prides time and time again
from its fleet of speeders dedicated to its agents of the law
to the breath-taking amusement park which is second to none.
Is it the driver-less and longest fully automated metro network?
Or the raised shoulders of the princess tower and the marina?
These are the starting point of a majestic economic run.

Does excellently well in showcasing its power and might,
commanding the hearts of men to its irresistible attraction.
The Burj Khalifa and manmade Islands;
J W Marriott Marquis and the world’s most inclined building,
are among others to cherish and to admire.
On the way coming among many others
are the masdar city and prestigious museums
with a tax free income, a cheap and accessible fuel
it’s not surprising internationals and expatriates
outnumber the actual citizens eleven to one.

Wealth from underground is its glory,
bordering the large waters is its fortune,
the display of its ability is its honour,
diversifying the sources of its coins is its wisdom.
Opening up to the world to lessen a conservative view
is its ultimate gain.
