Short Entitlements Poems

Ravage our monuments,
empowered dissidents.
Endless entitlements,
from spineless governments.

In this era unplanned,
by fathers of the land.
Divided we stand,
in moral wasteland....

Beyond permission
and the endowment tree
The wind blows constant,
it calls to me

Freedom is born
past entitlements whim
The ends of infinity
—knotting within

Giving someone something for nothing
    Worst idea in the history of man

  Yesterday's safety net expanded to universal permanent entitlements
    ~ Sabotaging esprit de corps with 'Gimme-what-I've-got-coming' 
                                                                                   environments...

Tennis balls in the court of life
Come back faster than speed of light
Some have anger attached 
Having no control over petty thought
Choosing not to play the field 
Called negative ream
Lighten up change the tune
As the world turns 
Moments do not come back to relive
We only get one chance at events 
Entitlements teased
Wasted efforts 
Pitty no one...

Lofty sorts tenement;
Residential entitlements;
Homeward bound ;
Lost in town,
Logistics Irving bound;
 Summers call;
Legitimate hall;
Tournament crawl;
No mortgage though;
No rent termites eating bossa wood;
Lying on rough wet papered floor;
a homeless man lives alone and a cardboard boxed home!

ENTITLED NOW FREE

Brought here some by own accords
Some by shackles and chains
What's the theme a new life for some slavery others
Miles and miles oceans bodies of waters
Come on in, come on in freedom
Free me from my entitlements
Help me replenish, set me free grant me
Liberty, grant me liberty for now 
I AM FREE

“The way I see it,” 
The youngster said, 
“There’s an easier way 
To be getting ahead.” 

“Why should study 
And continue in school 
When claiming entitlements 
Seems to be the rule?” 

“I don’t need to study 
Nor complete my degree, 
Society will willingly 
Take care of me.”

This mindset seems 
To be the norm of the day. 
Gone is the ethic 
Of a former way. 

And we still wonder why 
The world’s in a mess. 
Should we this ignorance 
So readily confess?...

Oh yes indeed,
 how entitled I am
 to receive Social Security and Medicare;
of course for fifty odd years
 governement saw no problem deducting
 the coverage it now wants to cut;
and the senate and congress still have
 their own entitlement trusts,
 but let's build a wall at any cost
and provide rich and corporation tax cuts
 claiming the economy is robust
 while the poor and middle class are lost.

Republican majorities,
Let me know how it works out....
