New year declaration
We were on our own
Minding our business
Weighed down by crushing unemployment
Thoroughly disillusioned by the art of promise and fail
We were disoriented by the perennial lie
Of being leaders of tomorrow
While we watched the promised future
Dissipate before our very eyes
Stolen by evil forces that have held the country
Down since after the

Minding Other Peoples’ Affairs or Businesses
Minding other peoples’ affairs or businesses
Some villainous pundits or vile hyenas are the best
In simply doing just that, comrades. They ignore
Their own problems. They leave a huge door
Ajar, wide open, so they can put their flagitious nose
In their neighbors’ personal businesses or affairs
Please, always have the fireman’s water hose
Ready, in check and in full force

Minding Business
It's funny when some people barge in the business of others and leave themselves startled by what to others are just normal things to do, and the things they can't understand.

Who's Minding the Children
Innocence lost
and being ignored
sin destroyed
sickness and little hope
confusion of mind
How can fathers detach so easily?
And who’s minding the children?
Broken homes
absentee fathers long gone
mothers now abandoning them too
or too busy to love and care
child abuse and perversion
What happened to the fathers who say they are men?
And who’s minding the children?
Taught to think of only self
gangs

Minding the Heart
my mind wakes me up at three
wants to tell me what to write
my heart says wait till the morn
and turns out the light
my fingers grab for the pen
and a notebook kept at the bedside
before it’s half past the hour
my eyes close and hide.
words are scrawled above the lines
nothing rhymes from page to page

Minding the Soul
It was just a stretched out word
that eases in on the still and quiet
when a moment lingers
on the edge of forever
hovering, contemplating, pondering life.
It is a deepened observation
of the colors of the sky,
the changing of the seasons,
the innate natural beauty
of the world around us.
A longing search

Mindfully Minding My Mind
The quiet of the late afternoon sun
Is all that I wanted to hear.
The rays casting shadows in the room
Is all that I wanted to see.
Watching the daylight move around the walls
Eased the tension and stress in me.
A few moments to gather my thoughts
Time, so precious, so dear.
Comfortably sitting here
Relaxation drains me of life's fears
Just a

Minding My Mind
In those dark days
When every time is a down time
Those days when for a dime
You could spare a prime rhyme
And pay a dollar for a cent
Those days when the slimy
Tongues of foes wag in ecstasy
Those days when life seems to turn tide
And you feel God has finally gone blind
Alas! I

Minding the Matters of Apparent Urgency
I breath

Floating
In front of me
And you
Didn't mind

My convulsions
Shaking

Minding Shakespeare
True love(r) never dies, they say;
pun is more of a fun rhyme to sway.
As for whom this giggling heart
bleeds the most? Know, I always
carry mine with me, ‘til I become pond water;
and hidden not in my eyes, often awake for love,
as they easily show blushes of my thoughts,
ramping over the wall of judgment.
Alone

Minding Marriage, Or Marriage of the Minds...
We lean in, like a sculptured work in progress,
enigmatic scent to kiss,
when suddenly,
the three inch wide orange rubber bands around our wrists,
pulled behind our backs,
spring us away from each other
at supersonic speed.
Hair flying in front of our faces, slipping through wind without weight...
Back to opposing sides of the world,
tethered to work, anxiety, bills, and the
