A RECESSION IS COMING

If your living expenses and
Utilities are steady climbing
And the wages are not
Even if you're on a fix income
It's a recipe for disaster

Haiku maxim for everyday life

Expect the sudden  
Pray for preparedness of heart 
For time has power

When you’re spending
Pay out exact expenses
Do it first in your home

Perfectionism
Is daunting to execute
Excellence requires not

Premium Member Cheap

Costs shy of public tags
Habits quite rampant and endemic
Endearing expenses and accounts, and
A little higher than rejected items, also
Personalities void of virtues and honour.

Black Friday Is Here Again

Black Friday Is Here Again


By Elton Camp

It is the day that the stores all love

That income to expenses moves above

Though it makes workers fight

Many open around midnight

So off we go to push and shove

Premium Member Death and Taxes

Unto the earth below my end commences
for I have committed life’s last offences.
  But not even death will save
    me from taxes in the grave
and now I can’t deduct living expenses!

Life's Expenses

Whether you"re in southern hemisphere, northern hemisphere you still have to pay.
Some may readily say.
The fee for loving, living and losing to much.
But the reward is much.

Premium Member Turin

I bought the shroud of Turin
the vatican had a sale
they have legal expenses
and priests that needed bail.

It was just an old dusty cloth
so I put it in the wash
that Tide detergent, never fails
all the smudges and stuff washed off.

don’t get excited, i was raised a catholic

Destitute Life

The life like the monthly expenditure note book
The loss pass all hurting heart like the expenses
And the happiness as like the some share markets
Buy and sell people demands like money exchange

Premium Member guilty by tattoo

Though opposed by federal court
Trump’s sport-like media report
Features flights at night
With head-shaven blight
And the hog-walked men we deport

What slave asks for anything more
Than a rave in El Salvador?
With expenses paid 
In dirt they’ll get laid
While six million bucks pays our whore

Watching Us Age

I'm watching you age
into wiser smiles, measured steps.
(Your lines look beautiful)

Gravity of life reshaped
our foolish expenses of energy
(Oh, the hurrying we did together)

wasted vanity of emotions.
I love our becoming...
more vast of vivid moments

(Our expanding normal bits)
gnarled with experiences.

Premium Member Fair Share

Corruption is a compromise 
The pirates fair share
Top state officials legalized
Profit under social care
They are concerned about 
Expenses and receipts  
They’re checking our accounts
They blame us in deceits
But it’s projection of all those
In power, they believe 
We must be damn corrupt by laws
Established to deceive.

Premium Member 'Adult Recreation' -- No Concerns There

          Marriage to robots is coming soon
             They’re friendly, faithful and cheap 
          No wedding expenses or honeymoon
      
          As for ‘adult recreation’
             No concerns there 
                vis-a-vis procreation

          What's more, robots learn extremely fast
             ~ so in the sack, they'll last and last

The same

I'm not gonna change
just to be "loved"
cuz love has no conditions
nor has a cost 
I rather have nothing
than have it "all"
at expenses of molding myself
to this ill world.

I always wanted the same
for all of us
but you wanted to be first
and wanted me last
you didn't want to share
the little we already had
you only wanted to win
by pushing me off the track.

Premium Member Deep In Our Thermos

Somewhere over Thames River
condo fees fly high,
So do taxes
and maintenance expenses,
My
Oh my
Oh why?

We chose to co-invest
in this former industrial mess,
I must confess
I don't know why
except our windows
reach for the sky...

Somewhere over Thames River
birds still fly high
so do beauty
and fiscal duty,
So why then
oh why can't we?

Can't we see,
Earth's harmonic integrity.

Marvelous Light

Radiant joy is mine.
All is radiant and fine,
In the family of the King.
To Him our allegiance bring.
He loves the people of the land.
It's Jesus in command.
Cancelling all the curse
As King of the Universe.
Rest or work, laughing on our way,
All expenses He will pay.
So entrust yourself to Almighty Judge,
To God who removes every smudge,
To Jesus, our Lawyer, His Son,
Bringing Light to everyone.

Everyday Stress

Expenses keep my
pockets slim.
No green paper trace,
broke,
I reach in and grab
lint.
My wallet suffers 
from Bullemia.
Skinny, diseased,
plagued to suffer.
When is enough,
enough.
I work hard
but my paychecks only
go so far.
Lately,
my life has been
rough.
Too many bills,
piled high.. 
Mountainous, the paper trail
stacked high into the sky.
Oh my!!!!

Peace embrace

Do you think I'll cry if I lose your love?
My heart is a rock; my friend is a dove.

So I stay strong no matter the tension,
I'm unmoved by whatever you mention.

Like a dove, I'll always embrace your peace,
I'll be true to you like a fine timepiece.

When you're finally back to your senses,
Your grief won't be part of my expenses.

Craving peace of mind like a cool sea breeze,
I won’t chase a love that fades with such ease.

Extrasenses

I sell services of extrasenses
To mad people, who believe in tales
Who have money on all the expenses
- I work like a manager of sales

The main task is to talk with persuasion
I must play on feelings of the fools
They should think, that I am like an angel
Who will save them, outside all the rules

But I only want to get their money
And sometimes I win in this old game
Taste of victories is sweet like honey
I don’t feel a bitter taste of shame

My Mortality

I wonder if I’m the only one who smells the fetidness of dead daylilies, carrion that lies concealed off the beaten path. Could it be my preoccupation with death lately? Reviewing my will, perusing my prepaid funeral expenses and life insurance, that have acutely enhanced my sense of smell for the morbidities of death. It’s not a pleasant state of mind to live with and act unconcerned concerning the inevitable conqueror worm.

Premium Member The Time Is Now

Color, Gender, Sexual Orientation
The Machine, Corruption, Racial Discrimination
  There the spotlight shone brightly in Chicago's mayoral election
  But campaign over, winner declared -- Let's move the city in a new direction

One of pension funds solvency, of lower taxes and reduced expenses
To accomplish that requires political moxie, mending fences
  Can Mayor Lightfoot do it?  Will she? How?
  It's time to act boldly, Lori, and the time is now
