It happens more than you would want it to
It happens more than you want to know
A child is left unattended on a bus somewhere
A preventable problem if you look in care
This time it was not a child hiding under the seat
Nor the girl in the back whose lunch not complete
This time near the wheelchair lift in the back
Was the older kid in the wheelchair at that
Driver nor monitor no longer employed for the bus
All they had to do was simply look and not fuss
So to all my bus driver and monitor friends I plea
Search front to back, and high and low before you flee!

Pictures of babies and license plates,
are you asking a criminal to find you?
The internet is NOT benevolent.
It’s phony as hell, you better believe it;
Keep your life out of reach and private.
A cheer or criticism, neither are needed;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;
With each detail you make public
you put your life at unimaginable risk;
People will follow you stalking your life,
until they scrape enough to create a copy;
Is it you? Is it not? It doesn’t really matter.
Identity theft only needs your numbers;
Suddenly there are two of you twinning,
but one is just a parasite you’re feeding;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;
Mind your manners remain chaste,
some things really should stay closed;
Stop flaunting what matters so carelessly!
Better think twice or become a victim ;
Sudden chill down your spine in real life,
That irreparable damage was preventable;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty.

The bizarre scene when Earth has been pressured
And on Richter Scales this can be measured:
When the immovable readily quake,
Not a single hard rock failing to shake…
A punishment too familiar to Japan
At a period hitting her like a pan.
Often her feared National Tragedy
She’d kept devising a ‘Stop Strategy!
How preventable it was ‘Quite Doubtful!
Whenever it struck whisky a mouthful…
The matched with Virulent Epidemic,
Cruelest act of God to Academic:
Wars orchestrated by commando…
Habitations could look like Dog’s Breakfast,
High Death Tolls asking for Religious Fast:
No longer wise raising brick houses,
Better rooms as light as today’s blouses…
Not a thing she could contain with Judos;
The day Judo does, by all means Kudos…

I knew it was a lapse
That made his shop collapse:
To thrown questions “Perhaps”
To feared comments “Sharraps!”
One could just sense the lapse
In the widening gaps,
On wrong heads placed caps,
In his quest for quick slaps…
Then, its ready: collapse!
From preventable lapse:
The falls: Thunderclaps;
From him no more claps,
Whistling of great songs and raps;
Long stares at women’s laps.

Are there lazy guys in The White House?
Let’s pick your loudest ‘’ Yes’’ or ‘’No’’
And could they World Peace Moves a bit douse
I would wait for a ‘’ Speak on’’ or ‘’ Go.’’
For the first, Russians could one serve ‘’ Yes,’’
For the second ‘’Simply forget it;’’
From North Korea ‘’ Madness to just guess,’’
For the second, Moods worse than Snake Pit;
Israel could suspect You, and Question
Like the Pharisee did the Christian;
To Terrorists ‘’ You’ve got just The Time,’
As they keep searching for bombs to time!
Terrorists would Peace steal like a mouse
But US Gun Laws don’t make it grow;
If laze around Interns White House
The Preventable like Rivers flow!
I gathered: owns Busiest Tables
Along tagging with Smartest Cables:
Then each has signed for schedules quite tight;
To dither about could never be right…

It was their own way of shedding blood:
Their backs turning to a surging flood,
Until it warranted the Ark of Noah
Or left survivors a preventable fewer …
To rain-boots sticking, publishing no fear,
Until the waters were to bellies near
And Dear Erosion here and there,
Preoccupied with the unfair…
Stacked-high dumps emptying into water
Against disposal challenges getting hotter;
The Government alerting at the final moment,
When it should be shameful to make a comment.
It had been their way of spilling blood,
Not a half reply to a still controllable flood.

175,000 Corona Ghosts
The corona ghosts get together
The 175, 000 band together
And vow to haunt the living
As the voice of the dead
Need to be heard
In the halls of power
They march to the WH
Surrounding the people’s house
And the Senate and the Capitol
Chanting
We are the voices
of the dead
The Corona ghosts
And our voices
Will not be silenced
We will be heard
And we will overcome
If you don’t need our warning
You too will join us
In Corona hell
The ghosts camp out everywhere
Thousands of them
Fill every corner of the city
Silently starting
The faces and voices
Of the dead
Shaming the leaders
Who still refuse
To do anything
To stem the tide
As General Corona
Continues his rampage
When will this all end
This death
This preventable death
Of the corona damned

Education makes a person to stand up on their toes
Their future builds upon with foundation of education
If education is the foundation of all aspects of life, then
Taking care of health by birth is the foundation of education
If you want to live life to the fullest
You must need all aspects of one's life
It's impossible without proper health care
One of them is Polio vaccination
Remember, Polio is a preventable life-threatening disease
All the children need to be immunized to protect from Polio
So, Parents vaccinate your children for their better future
If you say no, then it will just like leaving your home unlocked.

many teachers
many masters
in my every step of life
from them
the Guru
I don't know who is true
yet I love
I love them all
institutional, eating, drinking
walking, running, watching
playing, doing something in the job place
praying…..
everywhere I feel
the teachers, the masters, the gurus
existence
but, sometimes I enter into
the sovereign reign of my heart
I look up the mind
I confined my-self
and there I obtain the lesson
"If any lesson or teaching instigates to hate or hurt others
then this lesson is unsafe as well as brainwashing and this master/teacher/guru is preventable
and
If any lesson or teaching encourages me to love and help others
then this lesson is useful and this is a true master/teacher/guru"

Our planet cries, as the weak and oppressed, pay a price for wealth to rise,
we pollute and consume, while we seal our doom
but power is blind to see, what the scope of the crime will eventually
lead to a preventable catastrophe
The answers I fear, are too obvious and clear
but will never be realized, by the politically paralyzed
where there is no profit, to come from it, the leaders will not see fit
to fix what has already been done
We sacrifice our souls, for reasons no one knows, and work for the greater good
we are never sure why, as our victims die, never told if we should try
stop and stare, or rally to care, one planet to share, without our help will no longer be there
should this not be enough
Dollars and cents, the lower class repents, for the sins of the powers that lead
we all do the work, to cultivate not shirk, the responsibilities to ensure that we all succeed

Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap
Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions
You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense or not
At times it can all truly
Be quite the doozy
Frustrated with seeing cruelty
And people acting unruly
Along the way
Is it wrong to say?
Every dog has it's day
They can make glass from sand
So much became a flash in the pan
Whether or not there ended up being any cash in hand
With my own flesh and blood
I express my love
While I step and trudge
Through different depths of mud
Haste makes waste
Across this place in space
You may or may not have your while life ahead of you
Just remember idle hands are the devil's tools
Near and far from special sentimental jewels
Realize there have been many kinds of metals used
Near and far from different sea levels and pools
The outcome may have been preventable
If such things weren't placed on a pedestal

I entertained.....am guilty
I can be mean, mine comes with the depth of the attachment
Am such a b...., the b word with its five little devils
Oh my God
Now I pay the price, it's an expensive one
It may cost me many years
The thought of seeing another woman cry, breaks me
The heart break of another, that may have been my own doing, kills me
No more running, its all chaotic now
No medicine can heal the damage caused
No cure can reverse, that preventable mess
This prideful heart comes into terms,
That forgiveness is the only way

My eyelids droop my head begins to nod
I am struggling hard to stay awake
On a long drive in the pouring rain
I feel I am being hypnotized
I am struggling hard to stay awake
I turn the air conditioning on full blast
I feel like I am being hypnotized
I will just close my eyes for a moment
I turn the air conditioning on full blast
Taking my hand off the wheel I slap my face
I will just close my eyes for a moment
As my car drifts I awake with a start
Taking my hand off the wheel I slap my face
I must be mad yet I need to get home
As my car drifts I awake with a start
I am no longer traveling on the road
I must be mad yet I need to get home
The car is now beyond my control
I am no longer traveling on the road
In this moment there are no more choices
The car is now beyond my control
On a long drive in the pouring rain
In this moment there are no more choices
My eyelids droop my head begins to nod
On a long drive in the pouring rain
My life blood pours from my veins
My eyelids droop my head begins to nod
My life slowly yet quickly ebbs away

4 in the morning
Curled into a state of deep repression
Torn between pleasant nightmares and bitter dreams
My hands reaching for a body that’s no longer there
My fingers finding the liquid of intoxication
The kiss from the rim of the glass
Sends the sweet venom to my brain
Hallucinations become real beings
Lust becomes tangled with love
Affections I assumed were long gone crawl back into me
The romances from the past rush into hindsight
Punishing myself for preventable mistakes
Doubts plunge my heart into dismay
The venom in my body takes its effect
Gifting me with incapacity after incapacity
My sense of self slowly crawls into a corner
As the shell of a shattered man walks
Searching for purpose…
Finding his own wreckless abandon…
