a place for bribes 
no thinking it’s the last one
nor the time
anywhere ever after
little episodes 
in a capsule 
time laps
night day
time travel
It’s close 
we’re close to eternal...

He'd grown up a pest and a brat
Evolved into an oily bureaucrat

While bribes greased his palms
Folks back home begged for alms...

Stripped of his bureau ~
All that was left was a rat...

you wouldn’t even know 
came a long time ago
you wouldn’t believe 
it’s different now
I’ll get what I need
cut down your store
one guy’s bribes
you chop it for your good 
employees you crook...

A smile is illicit in this city
Where policemen hang their hats
On the beaten bodies of little boys
And bribes
And just not giving a s**t about whoever
Whatever
It's not their problem
Just leave em how ya found em and 
Walk on by

Come on let me down real slowly
Feed me once again another lie
Majestic words, are open statements
I want to look in colored lenses
The pretty picture you paint our lives

In hues of happiness and blissful bribes
I'm rendered sweetly in your eyes...

Money can be a curse too
Whenever the man 
Becomes greedy
Overworked 
Stuggles for a living
Snatches for more 
Begs to make ends meet
Bribes for tne utmost 
Steals for easy going 
But still can't possess it
Forever 
(because he will die one day )...

Betrayal

Wakey, wakey Joe. 
Wake up JOE! We’re at war,
and you’re letting them cross the border
good people, bad people, Russian sleeper cell units
and Chinese spies; or just maybe,
you’re a compromised American accepting bribes
or a communist in disguise?...

The Truth of the Matter
By Kenneth Alexander

The writer within

Pen & paper at hand

Read like a spy

The truth of the matter

Sadder

Than expected

Love and hate

Hand in hand

Truth of the matter

Known and accepted

Here today

Bribes of sway

Gone tomorrow

Truth of the matter

Lies speaks louder...

A chamber held promise
at the beginning
Bribes and collusion
arguments, shrewd lawyers
added up to injustice.

A place misused
witnessed prejudice and lies.
a jury in a hurry
a judge with bias
justice undone.

This space shows neglect.
Is it ever anything but
a holding place between
a rock and a hard place?...

I feel I’m being judged
For what I do and say...

I remember back to bribes
And play days at the park...

When i didn't worry about
Other people's remarks...

Now looking in the mirror
I see to my surprise...

A completely different person 
Starting in my eyes...

The carefree little girl
I saw at 4 and 5...
Is now becoming a teen
Just trying to survive......

New Games 
Seasons of spring time for war
So the politicians think
Drinking the scotch thinking
Where to use their new weapons

What country to send in their soldiers
How to spend and to invest
From their drug smuggling kick bags
And from the bribes of arms companies

The new army and air force
Needed to be used and for that
They needed a war

Looking at the map
Where and who
Shall we attack?...

As we were drinking, crying, quarrelling -
Substance essential to life was produced.
We considered it a crisis
But in real life a real crisis
Is no quarrelling and "nothing" induced.

There were little answers, respectable -
Far less. Now for questions there's no motive.
How to make it fly unacceptable 
Of meaning of life - Hi, Joseph! -
The meaning's insusceptible 
To bribes, mobsters, laws or orders......

INVESTOR’S EDGY FEELING

Numbers sticking in the investor’s mind
Always counting  increments 
Projecting
For a bountiful return!

But, 

She knew, she is
Counting chicks in un-hatched  eggs
Uncertain  how many of these eggs 
Crack out winners from their shells!  

Fatalistic she can’t be
There is no place for pessimism
She bribes her intellect with optimism
Winning numbers glued in her mind!...

COPLA TRECE : This Bad Guy World

Bad Guys evolve best in big banks
Where they can stack gold in coffers
Minting money 

Best cover : secret service ranks
Where they tighten screws on others
Their conscience free

Banks dish cash to Bad Guys to probe
The inner workings of Internet vibes
For Lords country

Passwords adds suck into their globe
They nail you down to chips with bribes :
Resurrect flee

Releasing egoism,  vanity, and idle 
  chatter destroyer of hope. What's 
  in it for you and me? Releasing 
  Unconsciously second-guessing 
  self, Overthinking situations that
  no longer serve one's purpose. Releasing 

  Why want anything pushing it away?
  Anxious thoughts hurt people, hurt people, 
 Self-indulgences, False Evidence appearing
real, Bribes and cold, cruel-hearted individuals,
failures, illusions, and oppositions. Releasing...

The fever is on now
And the constable is stuck
To watch it grow.
He watches the bed sheets
Cripple each day
And at night he can hear
The pennies weeping
As they find no eyelids to cover.
What causes this abomination
To keep growing inside of her
When the Devil himself spat it out?
To hot to swallow,
To cool to bite.
He set his soul beside the mantel piece
And sent his fingers to work,
Slid his tongue between two bitter bribes,
And sentenced himself to death....

A tune of confusion it plays
A band of unity it scatters
 The rhythm of peace it alters
 The valley of harmony it erupts

A terrorist proven guilty it is
A hatcher of malice contrite it plea's
  The judiciary of justice it bribes
  A heart of disloyalty it breeds

A seed of hatred it sows
 The fruit of vinegar it bears
The garment of brotherhood it tears
   An enemy of progress it testifies

Take position and fight this threat
Before it begets a venomous throb....

Peasant bread to feed the masses,
  millers stone between the classes

Grovel here and grovel there,
  crumbs for beggars—no meat to share

Caught inside the rising dough,
  leavened voices cry out low

Baking deep within the flames,
  bribes that lie—and Lords to blame

With each slice cut, Hell calls a name,
  its coals to brand, ignoble fame

Bread for the masses, meat off the bone,
  revenge on fire—the Devil’s throne

I flew on a plane -
It was regular size
And far from a luxury jet.
If I had to guess,
I’d say 400 million
Could buy quite a few, I would bet.

With no royals on board,
We were packed in the rows 
And content with our pretzels and drinks.
Every passenger paid,
No corruption or bribes,
Which for Air Force One everyone thinks.

All the world is aghast
As Qatar worms its way 
Into He-Not-Worth Naming’s elite 
And Americans sigh
At another display 
Of democracy’s hapless defeat....

You obtain all things precious
then store in your silos tight
others you help them to beg
that is comfortable suffering
but you do not believe in it

You grab all powers that be
in your pockets they are zipped
others come and kneel with bribes
that is comfortable suffering
but your too are tightly zipped

The precious things of this world
the powers that balloons persons
the dignity that are denied of others
come to selected humans for custody
as custodians sharing is paramount...
