Canes break
Walkers fly
Dentures are thrown
No one asks why
With no livelihood
We fail to thrive
Nothing to do
But watch the paint dry
Retirement sucks
Work was my life...

Pride of Their Own

Slaves appear to have their own pride;
Livelihood for own family they provide;
When raining,
Energy draining;
In small shelters is where they abide.

A Good Livelihood

Many things in life have become good,
And one I do like the best is livelihood;
With others share;
Needed everywhere;
Would be nice to have if we only could.

Great food is his livelihood,
Of it he writes each day.
Upon his word others depend.
Restaurant offers best entrée,
Making much of the display.
Each chef awaits the morning news
To see what he has to say....

How we want from the Omniscient god 
To bless us with a scale of one
 Livelihood
 By our ignorance, 
And in what  we let to know 
From Almighty 
 We knew
 That what good for one Tree
 Of water
 Spoiling  an other one 
In life...

Whenever she nudges
She hauls agony
Endows endless happiness

Pulling others' sadness
Bracing tonnes of secrets
She often grins

Every now and then
Enduring rain and sun
She dances blissfully
 
Embracing people
Being livelihood for many
She persistently works
Never takes rest...

Is this it, 
Is this what becomes of
All our hard work,
All our efforts,
All our dedication.
     We have nothing left,
Except our lives
And a very distant hope
That things will turn out just fine
     Tears flow fast from our eyes,
Like the water that washed away our livelihood.

Labor Day

A day recalling

Past doing and achieving..

And demanding of decency..

Working and supporting

Abundance speaking..

Ideal colorings bringing

Nostalgic happiness..

Enter the pandemic

With stirrings and fear..

Yet..perhaps pointing to

Our unknown Livelihood:

Abundance unbounded......

In an old shack 
on a dusty hill
an old man sits
and writes his will
 
His cracking  throat sings
“The day of Bexar”
And he goes outside
Looking wide and far
 
The corral he built
his livelihood on;
the 7 crosses
by the okra lawn
 
He closes his eyes
one last time
On the open prairie
Under the Western Sky...

Amidst forests and rocks,the river flows like super jet
                 Livelihood for the organisms yearning for its advent
                    Adept at adapting shape,just to benefit others
                 Ungrudgingly accumulates minerals,silt and ores
                     Even after discerning our attempt to befoul it...

Laborer and oxen are drawn
to slumber and to toil.
trodden fields of dawn
through basalt seeded soil.

A consistent daily chore
broken and blistered skin
farming out of folklore
the spirit from within.

An iron age passes by,
ploughed by tools of wood

Faces etched, livelihood.

(The traditional farmers of Nicaragua)...

He/She are similar  yet different  in guises, genders, adapting to be reborn. Restoration  from one's past traumas, hurts, deceit, disappointments, mental and physical abuse
is like tearing aways the peels from a onion or
a cut by a razor to masks  that pain hoping it would fade away.
Seeking solace to recuperate  to a better quality  of restorative livelihood....

SONNET III
The Greater Good

Arise and shine
Oh ye children of
The youngest of parentage
Reject that name.
You are Not a Mistake.

The devil is no source 
Of life and livelihood
God in His nature,
Makes no mistake
He is a perfect God
Of perfect works.
He gives and takes life
All to His plan and purpose,
…The Greater Good.

True nature brings the force of God
before apparel ~ springs.
No livelihood suggest its own
more than the suiting's ring.

And as I loved thee, sought unknown,
the moments seemed to sing,
when asking for the will of God,
I found thy love's upswing!

No counter cross, my mind's emboss
is fetish with re-string,
while thee in natural bounties clause
stay gift ~ stay everything!...

Rags and cloth alike
Cover thy skin
Bare skin, bare emotions
Essence of strength
Thick and thin circumstances
Never inquires, Never contemplates; 
Society abandons, morals unjust.
Abundance of courage, of faith
Seething through pores, writhing through veins
Heart like gold, his aurora shines
Colors of livelihood filter, intertwine
Light shimmers in
Dark layers out
The horizon is beautiful....

Beauty is my loving passion,
Beauty isn’t a changing fashion,
It depends upon my livelihood,
Sadness or happiness grows in the mood.
A heart smiles when a blossom opens eyes,
And fragranced spray to keep away sighs,
Softness and calmness, if a weather is cool,
Beauty is what beauty? When weather is fool.
Eyes are beautiful, if having a care,
A heart is beautiful, if keeping little care....

Life is a tug of war,
Between right and wrong,
Justice and injustice,
Truthfulness and falsehood,
In life's trying pathways,
We are faced with the choice,
Between two contrasting options,
We should have the courage,
To choose one of them,
That can fit into our mindset,
To lead a victorious  life,
In the tug of war that is life,
Amidst the conflicting forces,
That confront modern livelihood....
