The Turn Of The Millennium
People put electronics in kids hands
Before they can even hold a spoon
The normal way of life in the millennium
Technology wise people getting advantage
Of the scientific breakthrough of its acumen
Where even children has turn their playful
Fondness even level up strange 20 years before
From mere hiding and seek game to just
Sitting in sofa and painstakingly holding
A cellphone

Girl Child of Millennium
She was a believer until life took away grace from inside her bosom now she is a deceiver!
A receiver of gifts and her body an amusement park for all perverts to lay their dirt upon peace by peace she breaks into the unknown.
Love cursed her to never fall for the right ones her choices got

Footstool
"O, to have a kingdom
Its subjection so sweet!
Golden, like Solomon's
Footstool, for my feet.
Rest from my enemies,
Trampled into dust,
Falling at my feet,
Like so much sawdust.
Behold my sovereignty!
My judgment is supreme!
Try to fight back, and
My methods are extreme!
Wealth from my wisdom
Will secure all my dreams,
Then to stay in power
Requires constant schemes."
"Ironic you should blather
While I execute

Millennium Park
Millennium Park
a reclaimed landfill
once succumbed
to the deafening shriek
of sea gulls and bulldozers.
Now a rolling hill
gazing down on the skyline
of The City of Boston.
A blanket of greenery
laid over a once open sore
inviting the weary
to sit, to succumb
to the blissful stillness
as the wind sings
in the long-needled pines.

The Dragon and the Fairy
Galacticly heavenly, imagine Jupiter, kryptonite lunar moons
Sliding between celestial blue and dark moody skies
Wherein lived a Dragon who incredibly, loved snow
Fell in love with a fairy, millenniums ago!
Began courting daring Evelyn fairy gorgeous,
She was, declared his love thunderously, universe knew,
Of his eternal love for this immortal being,
Who toyed with snowflakes, flirting, but never ageing.
Stupendously,

Monorhyme On 7th Foundation Day the Millennium School
A vision, a successive step taken by ma'am Kekul
A legacy was born called The Millennium school
On 7th June and became big for which all drool
Thinking how it in years less got a costly jewel.
Moving on with all success and downs as a rule,
She has reached at a risky pinnacle dual -
Move ahead and prosper or

Millennium Quatrain
In the bed of psychosis that is modern time
a dangerous place to go is everywhere.
You might be the victim of a derelict mind
and die from bullets flying in the air.
It’s a sinkhole of a world to live in now
as folks are being shot at jobs and schools.
Hysterics is the word of ‘’pow, pow, pow.’’
Would it

Slum
Slum
Where hard looks and thin soup oppose,
the spider, cockroach, rat, and mouse dispute
in patient litigation or in border raids
our title to this world.
There is no mystery, it boils down to food.
Our ruined lunches providing theirs
as Roman baths provided stones
for abbeys of a different creed.
They too win converts. With earbite and cold fear,
patient, persistent, numerous,

New Millennium Helen of Troy
A thousand ships your face launches
Pitting my ship against a fleet of others
Snatching my heart, in a morass of mud drugging my haunches
Pouring torrents of my tears and fears in front of my brothers
Rendering me disconsolate
Wondering why I let you in
Although it ain’t too late
To clean up the savoury scene
In which I

A Millennium Day
A MILLENNIUM DAY
Unicorns and Amazons
chasing in a derby race;
what a noble thing for us to see !
Saint Peter tapping-out the rhythm
whilst old Gabriel leads a tune,
and Saint Francis sings harmony !
Mary and the ladies hence-
spin and play
making and baking !
The Heavens envelop
and Eden's times are warm-
Man, Earth and Love !
Rhymes that made no

America At the Millennium
AMERICA AT THE MILLENNIUM
I stand now at the crossroads of a new millennium
And look back at the highway America’s come from.
I see a road once full of a fear of God and truth,
But somehow we got detoured, on a new road we are loose.
I see its shoulder littered with pornographic trash
Strewn through the guise of

Millennium Noises
Millennium Noises
The air is full of beeps and tones.
One can never feel alone,
not in this world of warning sounds,
as sirens cry throughout the towns.
A clarion to evacuate
A click to end and terminate
Face time buzz from honey bun
Four beeps when the meal is done
We die to the sound of a monotone,
this way they truly know you’re

First Day, Millennium Sonnet
I am climbing up Diamond Head Crater
on a cool, overcast, great Hawaiian day.
Memories stretched to thirty years younger
when in the center thousands came to play.
When optimism and joy ran rampant
and all possibilities could be touched.
When parents, two sons and an infant
daughter came to sit in an era drenched
in blood and love, colorful flags and
