Limited Selection
The weather got cold. He went out on the town -
a duck bought a new jacket of down.
He made his selections. His shopping bag full -
a sheep bought a new coat of wool.
He swiveled his head. His eyes went down the rack -
a crow found only suits colored black.

Selection Of Good Relationship
Relation molds
Hearts not people
Hold feels for life.
Mix emotions
Makes oneself holds
Feelings not war.
Peace with other
Good people sign
True love of life.
Absence of hate
Devil's irate
God's victory.

LAULENT AND KHANIFA
Being not in the college,
Not means I will not engage,
I don't need some revange,
From you we need changes.
I have missed those patience,
When people ask you question,
How yourself trying to explain,
On your side to join.
I wish day to remain,
But won't come back again,
Time quickly it has gone,
Today you have got won.
Am feeling about those noise,
Shouting while

Selection Day
Selection day we have no voice,
selection day a lump’s in my throat;
Selection day two court jesters
argue over the final straw;
Selection day we are not ready,
selection day just the beginning;
Selection day we’ll wait in line
wondering and wishing for hope;
Selection day we have no choice,
Any option is just a delusion;
Selection of burgundy or oily blue;
Why can’t anyone

Everything is selected carefully for the making of the queen. Everything is selected carefully before the queen gets married to the deal. The temperament of the mother and the father was tested in the matrimony bed, the weather was fine and he took her out to dine to match his exquisite life style.

Gravely digging the grave digger digs
holes for souls; waste pits plotted
earth soils clogging
Collections of bones for storage and mind
Disposal in disguise
Many a form, Goldfinch alike, are left
in place of death; laying spent, shrivelled
dishevelled, colours still abright
I wasn't going to dig a hole so I left it
where it lay; no-one will dig for its soul
No

A Revolution Against Racism In America Right Now
Stop talking about revolution, revolution
It's not like winning the lottery, the ‘election’
When a real revolution is on the move
Nobody, nobody can stop it.
Stop, stop, quit, and quit being hypocrite it
When a real revolution is on the move
Nobody can stop it. Election
Will never be synonymous with selection.
Revolution is about drastic positive move
It is about real and

Love's Selection
Love's Selection
The word love is carelessly spewed,
Overused, misused, and abused.
Its connotation is attributed
To a sex object exhibited
And treated uninhibitedly.
Beauty defined gives the impression,
That it’s the outward appearance
Intended to shape one’s perception,
For choosing in matrimony,
Regardless of consequences.
Different sexes with expressions
And their need for gratification
Lean toward infatuation,
Because emotional eyes can deceive
And influence one’s selection:
When physical lusts of

Shades of Love and Character
Character matters addressed by the Kings,
By attitude adjustment - repentance of sin,
From heaven and earth with prayers for the dream:
Love is the standard, not the color of skin.
Society ever closer since the cross and the speech,

Welcome to My Shopping Plaza
Reserved purely for the best,
Entry initially is only by passing
Our Received Pronunciation Test,
Closely followed by meeting
Our test of personal wealth.
(No well spoken impoverished
Slipping in by stealth.)
When it comes to shortlisting
I’m afraid you’ll be needing
More than adequate proof of
Good blood and good breeding.
Be assured everything we sell
Is the epitome of
