Giving Thanks
how privileged
are we
living on the lap of luxury
let me rephrase
we don’t have excess money
but we have enough
to help out
which often
gets us
into situations
but still
it feels like the lap of luxury
because our needs are few

The Only Thing That Matters
Search the world
for your treasures,
lap up luxury,
fondle greed,
eschew the lowly
and humble
while your ego
struts naked before
a disdainful world.
But I would give up
Shakespeare's crown
and the touch of Midas
to seek the only thing
that matters-- to be
in God's good grace....

There Is a Plan
Some are blessed with piles of money
others inherit the streets or keyrings
One baby born to the lap of luxury
a second awakens to grinding poverty
The earth rotates, the wheel of fortune spins
so much frustration, while fat cats grin
Just know this, my friend, there is a plan
an age-old formula, it proudly still stands
~ that of true love between woman and man...

Man On the Moon
Man on the moon-
Why so sad tonight?
Do you see
all the world's plight?
Bombs are flying
there is no peace
As we search
for some release
The poor and weak
die of poverty
While others lounge
in the lap of luxury
Doors locked tight
criminals wander free
Living in constant fear
there's no security
Man on the Moon
that's why you're sad tonight
Because you see
us wallow in this plight....

Empty Days
EMPTY DAYS
There was a time when I was nine, where I thought my life was Ok
Another 6 years on, I was out breaking my back to earn some pay
A marriage came, then the kids, the marriage spent, the kids went
Now I am retired in the lap of luxury and all my days are idly spent
If ever there was a moral lesson to be learnt from this short poem
Is fill the cupboard full of gin and to keep the Prozac near to home
Indiana Shaw . . . ; )...

Black Lace
Black lace drapes
her sullen shoulders
alabaster illusions beguile
as moist mouths mount anticipation
teeth grind the collar
controlled
corralled breaths hush
honey dipped suckels
carress her wings
engulfing her breed
choking along with our greed
as our needs loudly sing
Black lace gripped
then ripped
apart
bosoms blossom
and her bud blooms
desires quench as lips lick
and lap in luxury
I'll be coming soon...
