Short Acquisition Poems

The acknowledgment of our ignorance

Is a giant step taken towards the acquisition of

Wisdom.

Max was ecstatic about his new acquisition--
A statuesque blonde in perfect condition.
He was sure she was wildly erotic 
He fantasied love-making exotic.
Drat! She knew only the missionary position....

As you acquire materially 
The spiritual could diminish 
If it wasn't acquired spiritually 
Before the earthly grabbing 

Be careful and be true 
Then truth will guide 
To the true treasures
Which come from truth...

Tall and short are in imagination 
Pretty and ugly are in the emotion
Smart and dumb are in comparison 
Rich and poor are in the acquisition
Similar to all circumstances around man 
The confusion is in the illusion of mind and body...

The 

acquisition of happiness isn't possible 

without

the presence of friends in one's life!*

I will accept 
the curse 
of acquisition.


You wear an epic 
on the fingers.
I read a virgin.

My shadow joins 
the moon at night.
How tall were you ?

Hold my arm 
once. In terror 
I had kisses an old flame.

Death will be 
my only landmark.
My journey ends in your arms.

A slave to creativity
Is better than a slave to nothing
Enhancement of skills
Is better than adjustments

Arousal of emotions
Is better than a head acne
Acceptance of weakness
Is better than fake

Development of inner strength
Is better than being a coward
Acquisition of knowledge
Is better than having power...

Once one's dreaming of gleaming things
becomes a screaming game of scheming 

Acquisition, that becomes obsession
calls the truest passion into question

Hearts of two, that once were wrapping
round the other, give way to trappings

The price of giving's the cost of living
with no misgivings, may all debts be forgiven?...

Your acquisition congest the entire space
in the lane of such prosperity, alone you race
every powerful influence has your distinct trace
with such a charisma conducting so much grace.
Affluence alone cannot repel every calamity
it makes an empty mind close to insanity.
Exclude the great provider, all becomes vanity.

Trying to convince
humans to get out,
as their iphones sing out
the top hit labeled 
mandatory evacuation,
astonishes the birds,
as they revel in the bath of stone tub,
filled by the flood, 
and then fly away.
And the ones who won't leave, keep the thoughts of glue,
cemented to their brains,as they
sit and contemplate 
the acquisition of 
their furniture....

will you please wake up 
but first signal where 
you will place your dreams
not there my grey hair
and nitro tablets might not mix

your eyes so matter-of-factly
smack me upon my brow
a reminder of how the years
can grow grass through concrete
or turn boulders to sand

forgive me if I piffle
forgive me if I bore
but you must know that I 
can’t piss like a stripling anymore...

Of things that do not matter,
the toys of temporal gain,
these things can dim your vision
and cause your heart such pain.

Was it ever to be desired, 
a life with focus not divided 
but to be so deeply inspired 
with the mission wherein He guided.

The acquisition of things
is a kingdom here for some.
If not seen from a Godly view,
it can leave you spiritually numb.

For the nonce, living soul,

you will breathe in new lessons through our tender tethering

as your seeking thirst is slaked through your skin;

for life's osmosis seeps mortal knowledge not implanted at conception.

Status as new preferential residents, plus with a permanent acquisition.

Knitted wonderfully with power
No need for sorcery or magic to
Officially manifest from its acquisition
Wisdom always stands at its back door
Level of the mind upgrades with more addition,
Ensuring the defeat of superstitious and mythical convictions
Discernment becomes easy and free
Growth and development inevitably results.
Endless is the bank which is its store...

Like a master with a torturing rope
who searches his victims from the masses;
carelessness makes the caught hardly cope
inflicting great thirst 
and maintaining a distance from the Oasis.
It can come dressed like pope
but at the end, it gives crisis
can be washed with a subsequent soap
though its acquisition comes with different prices,
since Life is always supported by hope
it’ll end at the time freedom rises.

It was a risky proposition.
yet they held no inhibition.
Then formed a coalition.
obtained the disposition.
And it became a mission.
to make the acquisition
Ancient gold exhibition.
Had the right condition.
with all inside position.
Ran Into opposition.
Hadn't figured on sedition.
Stan the finger in suspicion
put through the iquisition.
Couldn't explain his transition.
One slug the ammunition
He's a ghostly apparition.
In moldy decomposition.
It was a risky proposition....

Adroit in this quagmire so meticulously infused
I yield yet the ground beneath me moves
Alone in a room of people I stand confused
Attune in this menagerie so materially abused
Seclusion notwithstanding I relinquish, capitulate, cede
Devoid of qualm I succumb daftly to the lure revealed
Subdued by my rivalry I prevail, endure, exist
Simply a nuance of distinction I concede permit
Infantile I accede yet somehow circumspectly survey
Surreptitiously I allocate the acquisition of the day...
