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
(Dreamsleep: January, 2021)
Laziness
(hand up or hand out)

Those always bathing in entitlements pool,
will awake each morning, lazy, and unclean.
Which brings back thoughts of older times and lye soap,
Neither is conducive to a good lather.
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
Freedom. Misused.
When such limits
Through entitlements, itself enables
Are broken through;
Common decency's. Man, the frenzied ape
Had kept from view.
Freedom. Abused.
When that, flag-waved
For its praise, a proud land's, as such
Now frowned on is;
Under God's blessing. A faith, treacherous
Had quelled whose hiss.
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.
