A Nation of Subjugation

Helplessness
the king travelled incognito
mixing among the commoners
both delighted and also envious
of how they find joy in simple things
content even in poverty and shortages
and then the king discovered their secret
they were all centred in heart
and not in narrowness of mind
even after garnering this deep knowing
the king was unable to become as such
for he was not yet like Gautama Buddha

Count Your Quarters
Some times it's difficult to rhyme.
We are living in a interesting time.
Putin's war which won't relent,
nor will our "telepathic" ex-President..
Covid still making people sick.
Our information stolen with a click...
After watching the news, our economy
is going down the tubes..
Shortages in the food chain and here
comes another hurricane...
People scramble to our borders, so
stay at home and count you're quarters......

Man Versus Beast
Nary one lizard is curious about trains
Nor are kangaroos hopping mad about Ukraine
No wombat worries about crime in New York
And even pigs are unconcerned about shortages of pork
Name me one rhino who’s learned how to cook
Or a hippo who’s written a book
Even dolphins don’t go golfin,’ and
The only Tiger on the links is a Woods
Fragile physically though we humans may be
We want to know what goes on globally...

Impoverishment
Inadequacy defines me.
Money is not my only lack,
Pinching, as pride slips through the cracks,
Overdrafting maintenance fees.
Vacancies have never been free.
Emptiness makes my sad soul slack,
Reduced beyond what you can stack,
Insufficiently, just to be.
Shortages abound all around.
Hardships are collected instead.
Meagerness charged my flesh a pound,
Exhausting my efforts in bed.
Necessity will make a sound,
Torturing my spirit, when dead....
