Agree Again and Again

Agree Again and Again

Where would we have been;
Must agree again and again;
And once more;
Now not poor,
Except my skin is still so thin.

With Trump what I will agree
He has caused country a calamity.

Premium Member When Mary Jo Yells Timber

Mary Jo's from the country, a real backwoods lass Chops wood like a lumberjack they're not in her class When Tot yells timber You'd better be limber Better run, don't stand there like a silly old ass © Jack Ellison 2015

Premium Member Became An American From Shangshi

Listen to poem:
Jasmine petals fall same as ashes from burnt incense,
Superimposed the demised who lays in hallowed rest,
A jar and vase on a marble stone, near a picket fence,
A man of the Buddhist faith who fought with the best,
Died for his country, a faithful man was truly blessed.

Standing Mango India Floored

everyday life,a tightrope walk
within country.a tug of war
civil unrest floors standing mango india

unconstitutional legislations
unconstitutional judgements
civil unrest floors standing mango india

power shifts to war era
third world war coming
civil unrest floors standing mango india

Premium Member MORE LIKE THE RAIN

When I look around at a divided country…a divided world
I wish we could all be more like rain…
that falls on everyone and everything equally…
on the people, the mountains, the rivers…and the plains…

For the rain understands
when she falls on everyone equally…
say from Canada to France..
then the lives of everything she touches
will be enriched…improved…enhanced.

Black Customers

You follow the black customers around your store where you work.
You think they're going to steal things because you're a jerk.
What you've been doing is wrong and I've spoken to the proprietor.
He says he'll be watching and if he catches you, you'll be walking out the door.
It's people like you who give this country a bad name.
Black people deserve respect, you should be ashamed.

Premium Member Wave Goodbye Comrades

Welcome to the United States

Home of the new Russian empire

Half of you have the impression

That our Democracy should expire

You choose to bow down to some clown

Who touts Vladimir Putin

And you won't be satisfied

Until everyone starts shootin'

If you just want to be a slave

Your future it would behoove

Give our country a final wave

And pack up your guns and move

History

Seen through a country, a family or an individual timeline,  
Diligence and thrift bear rise while extravagance decline.
Why do we cherish a pillow made of amber? 
Why must a cart be inlaid with pearls purer?
It’s hard to find talents when the country is at stake,
And to ward off devils when its foundations quake
How many people read the emperor’s aspirations?
Here I do lament over his unfulfilled ambitions.
(Tran.)
