A Final WordI left because my body broke,
And weighed with grief, my spirit spoke.
I told you oft, I made things clear,
Yet pressure came—not care, but fear.
No shame I bear for what I owe,
I acted true, as you well know.
The key I left, the money too—
What’s lost beyond, I never knew.
I paused before I took my leave,
Awaiting peace...

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lair
Let’s pester Uncle Fester
After dafter Luxon
Pushed the button
Welcomed every glutton
To the isles of mutton
Theme of the meme
Team New Zealand
It does seem
No longer a
Stronger eclectic sceptic
Spanked by the rank
Septic tank stream
Peptic Pyramid scheme
Thank the American dream
Our rancour on social media
Danker seedier leaders crimes
Hanker for every greedier
Rhymes with banker
Sleazier golden geezer visas...

Should I Associate Hope To Only Dead TreeForever is a giant ground,
Where buried roots live in hope.
Though, dead in earth and weak beyond
The realistic of growth scientifically.
Unless been uprooted and cast in fire,
It remains a new seed to sprout new desires.
Studies often wonder how each get to cope--
The threat of call, hope yield basically.
But men are death bound;

The Feast Beneath PennsylvaniaAt midnight, deep beneath D.C.'s pride,
A tunnel breathed secrets the daylight hides.
Pennsylvania Avenue—so clean, so grand—
But under its bones lies a cursed land.
Dark suits walk halls soaked in red,
A velvet silence where the truth lies dead.
The walls pulse with symbols from ages old,
Carved by hands both cruel and cold.
Fridges hum like funeral songs,
Storing innocence stolen...

Two Ways to LiveThere’s living a life, with the wind in your face..
Chasing the sun in a faraway place.
Hearts beating wild on a mountain’s high peak..
Finding the magic that most never seek.
And then there are those in the grip of the grind..
With dreams set aside and the clockwork in mind.
Paying off walls they barely call home..
Counting the days...

Life's Bounty and PurposeWhat of life’s bounty will a long life ensure?
What value is purpose as life we endure?
Is it beauty, talent, or money we need?
Is it fame or glory, or some secret creed?
From the dawns early light ‘til twilight’s sunset,
Which way shall I travel, which way’s my best bet?
“Is all I am that which I eat”, someone...

why do some coins have holes in the middleWhy do some coins purposefully have holes punched in the middle?
To save copper, silver and gold?
Guess again.
So you can hang them on Christmas trees
Or around dog’s necks on their collars?
Maybe
They were actually made this way
So you could string them together and keep track of them
The sad thing is,
It would make things easier for a snatch...

Peter and PaulCut the budget
Cut the fraud
Cut the bullcrap
Cut the lies
Cut, cut, cut it out!
Finding ways to reduce spending while spending is diabolical. Spending millions on a military parade is waste management at its finest.
What in the Big Beautiful Baffling Bill is going on?
When I was young we use to say, “Robbing Peter to pay Paul.”...
