Short Outnumber Poems

Where pigeonholes outnumber pegs
A spinster may get only dregs
But God's Double-Cross
Is like a coin toss:
Cross your fingers or cross your legs!...

Good people outnumber the crazies by a bunch
We don't cause a sensation but for that I have a hunch
We should demand the headlines
Instead of these perverted asinines
And make love in the park while having our lunch

Such dreams come and go
that
life in comparison seems
dull
waking hours
only intervals between them
in that land
that far off place
I again see you smile
your distant face
but self delusion
brings his friend
illusion to outnumber
reality
and
replace
it....

There will always be

                    RICH and POOR

               The rich outrun the poor

             The poor outnumber the rich

           The MIDDLE outweigh the sides

     Free people work hard when opportunity

       Offers a chance to move up and down

                The Ladder of Prosperity....

Love Loves it when,
Romance is in the air,
And we agree to share.

Love Loves it when,
Children come first,
And we wait to quench our thirst.

Love Loves it when,
Welcome mats,
Are as common as old hats.

Love loves it when,
Flowers shops,
Outnumber betting shops.

Love Loves it,
When hate stays outside the gate,
And love songs propagate....

Combing through the carnage
Questions outnumber answers
Derailed if dwell on the details 
Will we forfeit all our advances?

Easy to get singularly focused 
On second guessing decisions 
Better to not ruminate on regrets
Since the past has no revisions 

Power in pivoting to the present 
As a new path has been charted 
Final destination still unknown
But in a better place than we started...

May you fall, so you may rise
May your horizons surpass your skies
May your future fill your eyes
May you make mistakes that make you wise
May your laughs outnumber your cries
May you wear your beauty, undisguised
May you stumble, so you may sympathize
May love take you by surprise
May you catch the light of fireflies
May your dreams flower to full size
May you hear your song - and harmonize.

A poet can see
What the sun can’t.
Is the one whose words 
Like sharp arrows, 
Are aimed at the causes of 
Human sorrows. 
Is the one who awakens us
From our deepest slumber.
Is the one with whose inspiration 
Our hurdles easily we outnumber.
Is the one famous as mankind's transformer,
Well plays the role of a social reformer.

As long as God is Head
There shall be a roof over our heads
Where we shall bake our bread

As long as God is Love
There shall be enough to have
In, around, over and above

As long as God blesses
There shall be excesses
In our threshing floors and winepresses

As long as God is alive
The Heavens are an oozing hive
Dripping the sweetness of our thrive

As long as God is for us
We outnumber any legion in mass
And surpass any etiquette in class

COPLA DOS (TWO):  This Bad Guy World

-	The second COPLA in the series –


Bad guys in this world got it made
They simply outnumber good guys:
Their paradise;

Bad guys help themselves to the shade
Reduce good guys to broken toys
Every so wise;

If good guys by chance reach the top
Then they’ll drag them down with one voice
Crying foul play;

If good guys fight back they’ll sure flop
For bad guys know how to rig dice:
Great game they play.
