Write a Self-Help book
that works only for you.
Become one with the One,
or at least give it a try.
It doesn’t get any easier after you’re dead.
If you have a nasty personal problem
become an advocate for other losers'.
Take up the accordion,
play Polish polkas for your unwanted friends,
soon you will be free of them.
Frequent the offices
of fully untrained masseurs
happy endings almost assured.
Remember, there are no living
un-struggling poets,
so get a job.
There are ups and there are downs,
be sure to decide beforehand
how you want your eggs.
Remember no one else has a clue
where they’re going either.
Dance, dance, dance!
If you cannot,
then sit it out. No one cares.

Wind Chiming
such playful sounds of chance
~
forever melodic minstrels of time
~
bringing us to portals of altered states
~
soothing masseurs of mind
~
harmonics of higher vibrational resonance

hypnotic travelers of trance

The World of the One Percent
By Elton Camp
The super rich is who these folks are
More wealthy than old Croesus by far
They reside in the most fabulous estate
Privacy protected by a guarded gate
A mansion with elevators & indoor pool
Where as kings and queens they rule
Sparkling clean and always kept that way
By staff: butler, maids, cooks and the valet
“The master is quite indisposed,” they say
To any who may attempt to visit that day
Breakfast in bed they can anytime enjoy
Where they is nothing around to annoy
Even doctors willingly pay them a house call
As do stylists, masseurs, barbers—one and all
Personal shoppers go out to buy their clothes
Unless a tailor comes—it’s sure one of those
For it is only poor folks, down on their luck
Who have go and shop at Sears & Roebuck
Since only the little people pay income tax
In carrying their fair load they are found lax
Certainly, no self indulgences do they spare
For the uncouth masses they have little care
Unless James brings around the limousine
It’s in a mere $200,000 car they are seen
A world of incredible privilege is theirs
Where they relax without having any cares
