REAL Estate
Who’s putting up them signs everywhere, anyway?
“For sale by owner”
Seems to matter who owns what
What?
What does it mean to be real
Desperate enough to spin the wheel
To be a citizen of democracy
Requires incredible sacrifice
Usually blood and definitely tears
The hypocrisy stops now
With years and years of reckless

The Real State Real Estate
When your only home is your body
a home that took a lifetime to build
with your own blood your mortar
bound with your own bruises brick by brick
when you are cut and measured by your parents
but still find a piece of fertile land
on which to build your home and tend a garden
with the sweat and

Manhattan Real Estate
Apartments are expensive
With an extra monthly fee
For maintenance, which I can
Understand, to a degree.
But in an advertisement
For a condo that’s for sale,
A factor was included
That would make some people bail.
Along with monthly maintenance,
The purchasers would pay
Nine hundred for utilities
But, more outrageous, they
Would have to shell out, with no choice,
(Get set for Oh, my goshing!)
A fee

Squirrel Real Estate
Squirrel agent showed him thousands of trees
this particular client being very picky
how about this one she'd plead
no he'd say not enough leaves
She'd say this one is nice but he'd disagree
saying too many squirrels means no privacy
after weeks of driving around they got into a rut
basically the squirrel agent about to give up
As a last resort

Mars Real Estate
I procured this entire planet
For you, the world was never enough
A honeymoon real estate
Somewhere to relax and have a laugh
I wanted something private
Private islands are a dime-a-dozen
This is a great future investment
On Mars, you'd be the first citizen
Girl, our love is a hot red iron
Spreading on the red planet like wildfire
You know I'm not just

Real Estate Section
In the Sunday paper, I can't wait
To read the section "Real Estate."
From articles that do entail
Descriptions of the homes for sale
To stories of where folks have looked,
I'm riveted and really hooked.
I check the prices, note the taxes,
Find the parks where one relaxes;
Scan the photos for decor,
Observe each window, roof and door.
I try to picture living

Real Estate
Curl of smoky streaks
Joss stick messages;
Heaven bound
~~~~~~~~~
Temple visit
Feast day moments;
Talk to the dead
~~~~~~~~~
Bright Hill Temple
Where rites bring peace;
Family gathering
~~~~~~~~~
Temple verandah,
Spacious prayer courtyard;
Surreal this heaven
~~~~~~~~~
Closed eyes salute
An inner realm calls;
Spiritual insight
~~~~~~~~~
Here we gather
Offer our earthly harvests;
Poignant celebration
~~~~~~~~~
Briefly we come
Ply food offerings;
Gratitude tells
~~~~~~~~~
Columbarium niche
Earthly ashes laid;
Fond remembrance
~~~~~~~~~
All Souls Day
By parents' niche tomb;
Familiar voices speak
~~~~~~~~~
Echoes in hallway
Death talks
...

Near estates they've purchased on Mars

Real Estate Jargon Explained
Real Estate Jargon Explained
By Elton Camp
When a house is for sale there’s good reason why
Trouble can come to anyone who advertises a lie
If the sellers certain expressions carefully choose
It will become easy the careless buyer to confuse
“This house is simply loaded with charm.”
Means we hope old and ugly won’t alarm
If you see it’s a “Pet

Animal Real Estate
The fallen nest of life
whose straw lay strewn,
holds no bidders.
The ransacked burrow
...caved in,
holds no retail value.
The marsh land paved,
still resonates
through your cup of tea.
Twas their last plea;
which you ignored.
Real estate is only profitable
when built by people.
...But animal real estate
holds more value.

Real Estate
Fingerprints on frozen windows
Night of wonder
Avenue of lost souls
She waits..maybe his shadow will play
the "game of shapes" on walls of skyscrapers
The street is as naked as her heart
She knows she's not so good looking on the outside
but what a rhapsody of soul...
even the marine layer cries with joy on balconies of roses.
I hold her

Choice Real Estate
master's of art , together they designed
two seperate kingdoms , only one to reside
amongst us they test ,our strength , our might
a theater uncommon to common sight
the most ancient of wars , the heavenly fued
breakdown the structure , become unglued
birthing of twins , constant companions
eventually choose our elected battalions
