John Kasich

John Kasich
has consistently urged a return to the basic
his governance proves
there's very few things as basic as some of his moves.

Good governance? With all those killings? And wish for potent alliance; Then be a serf of sham dealings. 10.13.16

Canda hosted queen elizabeth to cheers
It now applauds an ss man 
That most would jeer.'
Am i missing something?
What are the values of that land?
On what set of morals does its
Governance now stand?

Modern Governance

Modern Governance


Vote-bank thoughts and woes of dissent
Leave them lost mumbling  excuses
Making quick bucks their time well-spent
Leaving behind SCAMS in excess.

Democracy

The ballot box does my persistent fights convey,
to restore what predatory lords did cart away;
because I cast my vote for good governance to enjoy;
that I may integrity in governance employ
by firing evil men who human rights destroy.

Tweeting out my final tweets before they shut her down; Becky Blue from Governance is packed and leaving town. Silly little rabbit perched there, high up on the shelf. Time to scamper in the woods, go verify yourself.

The End

Even so, I know the
Words are hollow and,
Tings like the tumors,
I was still going to say, CRACKERBOOM!
Perhaps, now that we've sapped the guardsmen,
We may take visit to the house owner.
We can now subdue the court,
And sack the principal as well.
CRAC..KER...BOOM!!!

LaoTse, of Taoist fame,
like other healthy politicians,
psychologists,
philosophers,
and poets,
was interested in the humor within spirit-nature's wisdom and folly,
as the wisdom uncovered
through nature-spirit's kind and unkind humors,
Golden and ReverseGolden Rules
of robustly democratic moral integrity.

Drums and Bugles

Good governance,
the enemy of government
States rights,
oxymoronic at best
What works,
the bane of impostors
Who exist
to feather their nests

Revolution
 is quickly fomenting
Change only
at the point of a gun
Voices from Concord
heard calling
With freedom not given
but won

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves - Aka African Governance

Standing in front of the hidden entrance

On horseback, with loud sacks

Clinking as loot hit loot.

With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces

The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;

Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,

Ready to go back out and lay misery on  poor souls

(C) Nyonglema

Fish Bone

FISH BONE

In the middle of a meal
As tempting as Nebuchadnezzar’s table
She feasted fiercely
Without noticing the protruding bone,
in the fish she churns

Alas a cry
For help,
Creating a sore in the throat
Neither water nor food
Shall find its way down

For her system disrupted
Like our system of governance

She must be treated
For their to be an improvement

Such Government

They promised us bout phone and mobile, 
But how bout network? 
They promised us electricity at kainji dam, 
But how bout stability. 
They promised us bout democracy and independence, 
But how bout good governance. 
They promised us a cackoo with mutiple colors, 
But they came only with its picture. 
Pool of water on the tiled street:
Mirage of realism.

the enjoyment of defeat

by midday the capital is lost in deferring of appointment, illegal assembly and illegal protest of speech, past speech of the governance and the executive, insurmountable halls of congress have no cause for speech in between coordinated attack points. 
the cowardice grows in the hands of the general's might.
deprived of voice the eldest child is thrilled and in traitors steakhouse

My Lamentation

My country is in quandary today
It's going to be an anarchy
Leadership is in a black hole
Being incompetence I should say
Demonstrations, rallies everyday
The hope of good governance seems
Is in oblivion and brewing war is coming
I love my country, this is all I have
I just want progress to my people
Why does democracy so elusive to embrace
My simple wish is just good life to my people.

Artificial Intelligence and Public Office

In circuits hum, a silent plea,
A question asked, when will it be?
When algorithms seek to lead,
In politics, a novel deed.

Bytes and bits in candidacy,
Electrons dance, a new decree.
Will silicon minds find their place,
In governance, a digital grace?

As codes converge with human lore,
We ponder paths never trod before.
When silicon dreams aspire high,
In public office, will they vie?

Govern

Is what we
do
all there
is?
Do we 
create 
the 
universe 
in
our minds?
Are our
ways
the only
ways?
Are
the
ways of
this 
world
the only
ways of 
sentient 
existence?
Are we
the 
crucible 
for future 
Universal
governance?
If,
we
are 
in fact
the
only 
sentient 
beings 
in this
cosmos 
we then
are 
setting 
the stage
for how the
cosmos 
will
be
governed!

The People Command the Most

There lies a city, far, far away—
A land of tranquil grace,
Where peace flows gently like a river,
For the people command the most.

Within its walls, the cubs and lambs
Dwell side by side in harmony.
Vice is but an ancient tale,
Because the people command the most.

O my city, learn from your peers,
Heed the voices of your own.
If you would know true peace and plenty,
Let your people command the most.

Free the press..The only phrase i guess?

Devouring whole..Misinfo minions so much
Is stole.' Self-improvement chance to grow
Drainstream media, and a governance cold
Catch the narratives, its how they roll
Deep in excrement, filth and spew

Democracy and such a
Darkness how could
This become

Governance

"Men are governed by lines of intellect,
women by curves of emotion" *

or

might I have it incorrect
and really mean to say

that 

men are governed by women's curves,
and women by men's lines.

© Goode Guy 2011-06-17

* misquote of James Joyce actually from
Oscar Wilde's  "An Ideal Husband" -
"A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. 
It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses."

Salam Sahur

the forest where birds are singing
the river where fishes are swimming
the sea where every creatures are living
in the air where birds are flying

every living and that of non-living
all are created by Him
including the freedom of people
the freedom to independence
and own governance and country

let not the men dictate Allah
surely they never know
what Allah knows
salam sahur
on the third day

i love you Allah
layag sug!

Game of Thrones

I want to get to the throne
Thus, I am welcomed to the Game of Thrones
Not because of greed and desire
But the burning fire
Challenging me to rid off the world of all the lies
And burn them with a mighty fire.
I am fighting my own battle
To restore the nation to its true position.
Just like the dragon is the symbol of power
Let me be the symbol of balance
Let me be an example of good governance
And the new entry to the Game of Thrones.

A Country Called Earth

This is what may be seen,
by eyes that look forward
passed fog and smoke,
of institutional making:

The people, burn national 
building and flag
for they are made fearless by the robbery
of an entire planet's freedom.

A one world governance
is a one world potion for poverty
mother Earth is to be murdered
by monetary law.

I say; let flags burn and
be gone with invisible borders.
Let us pledge allegiance
to the country called Earth.

HEELS OF CORRUPTION

A silent, deadly virus
Corruption spreads its stain
Infecting the healthy sectors
Twisting the threads of our governance.  
It carves deep holes where plains once lay
And builds up hills on flat ground everyday.

Even when good is meant to be
A palm must be greased to set it free
A bribe to make breathing easy
Turning virtue into frail hypocrisy.  
Corruption walks hand in hand with governance
Erasing every noble trace
Leaving behind a trail of disgrace.

Defeat As Contrary In Many Ways

Defeat in economy is a misuse in good governance
Defeat in beauty is lack in empathy and self-initiatives
Defeat in numbers of men who will depend the country
Defeat in humanity is selfishness
Defeat in transparency is lack in service
Defeat in trust triggered betrayal
Defeat in love is enemy's war influence
Defeat in money is lack opportunity
Defeat in education is innocence enmity
Defeat in faith is Satan's bows and arrows
Defeat in Satan's wiles is God's victory.
