Premium Member trade presents no problem for a genius

His narcissism’s off the charts
Only psychos say he’s got smarts
This china shop bull
Sells shopping carts full
Of shlock from his rear-facing parts

I Trade You For This Gold

I kiss you not,
Sweet Jesus,
Upon your flesh
I kiss you not,
For I am weak
Broken by 
This seed 
Of grief
Why did I 
Trade you
For this 
Bag of gold

Premium Member Bad Trade

Sheep that follow leaders and wear wool,
sadly, often don't live a life that's full
before the part of them that does remain
trades in their wool for cellophane.

Farmers Market

Trump says, "Trade Wars are easy to win!"
To be sure, Trump will tweet that again
So far Trump has lost
And can't count the cost
But you will when the grandkids move in!

Cinderella

Cindy, Cindy Cinderella
When it was windy-windy
Ventured forth with umbrella
Was it made in Chiny-Chiny or Indy-Indy?
Had the umbrella been stronger
This poem might have been longer

Premium Member The Trade-In

my old sports car’s
fun, eye-catching plates

tossed in the trunk of
my new sedan

part of my joy
unrenewed. . . . like
those vanity plates

Move Up

Up your gears
Cheat your fears
Drown your doubts
And move up

Learn a trade
And how to trade
Be a master
In your game

Conceal your cards
Evade the darts
Be smart and wise
And score good

Just Fix It

A Fix Or Repair Daily was toted
Where Fix It Again Tony was noted
Trump's Tariff wars
Closed garage doors
So my Kick It Again got demoted.

Trade the Dream

Some are contractors-
Some to supply-
Some are drones in offices-
Some in courts tell lie-
Where can I but sell-
Can anyone tell-
The dreams and thoughts of life-
Can anyone tell me-
How to be the merchant of dreams?

Premium Member Trade Marks

In a bygone age
Symbols then,were all the rage

Hanging outside,to catch the eye
A very visual...come & buy

Pestle & mortar,poles red&white
Or just three brass balls there might be

In days long past,
Few could read...but all could see.

Premium Member Globalizations

Trade transaction
Technology sharing
Peace maintainence
Environmental protection
Granted resident permit
Worldwide travel
All these simple globalizations
Have made the world 
Open to you
So, don't worry
The doomsday inside your heart
 Will never come

For voice

Around us the wind moves
not angry,
not broken
just tired of carrying us.

it doesn’t cry out or plead.
it sits in the chest
like a truth we cannot know,
a stone where song should be.

what did we do with beauty?
what did we trade,
for voice,
for sky?

Cell

Nature, if it is unknown
is just a cell
even at all scenes
all matters instead
may rest
the soul needs
knowledge, a matter of demand
for without such
all is blindness
in a dark night
only the contrary rules
the day
what I would have been these
people's identities retailer.

The Shi Quest of Mwamihood

Your majesty, our Mwami, 
Where is your Mwamihood? 

As the greatest hero of our land, 
You let our people suffer, 
Trading our future in the shadows, 
Like a nation lost to darkness.

And so you flee to distant shores, 
Abandoning our struggling souls.
Your majesty, our Mwami, 
Where is the honor you once knew

The Trade Off

In all the days of sinless pain
Where nightmares come
Like a pouring rain
Where my dying heart
Feeling only glum
Will soon depart
From the one I love
And shattered dreams
Like a fallen dove
And lonely screams
To the one above
Oh help me please
Don't let her go
I am on my knees
I will give my life
In quid pro quo

Empty Trade

Reflecting on life
in the darkness of night,
eyes drift about
inquiring clarity’s insight

Darkened corners
hold yesterday’s dreams
pressed smoothly
against tomorrows seams

Stifled intake
of sobs quickly clinched
Smothered pillow
holds tears unquenched

Morning light
through slotted shade
Spears empty corners
an unwelcomed trade

Trade Warrior

So seamless an entity is he.
sleek before the crowd
bullet proof
tempered hard
steel 
determination loud

Urban warrior
lean before the mass
tackle business
evenly
dodge before the crash

Suited armor
mohair gleam
woolen effigy
strained vessels
temples red
Imbibes with glee at noon

Not enough to win 
the day
ore brethren in the clinch
they must lose
fall away
to rise another inch.

Let the World Stop Libya Slave Trade

let the world stop Libya
slave trade was off the 
old age 

it was in the time 
of our bitter history


I thought we live in 
a new age 

I thought the 21st century
was a time of freedom

yet in north Africa 
there in libya  black
Africans slavery continues

will the world be quite 
and pretend not to see

this calamity need be 
stop 
so I urge the world 
Iet the world stop Libya slave trade

Premium Member I'll Trade a Laugh for a Kiss

It was once wise to invest in steel, yup,
In days of yesteryear.
Now, they say that fine art and gold are up.
All things change with time, dear.

Then, I'd scale the steepest mountain to reach 
That pinnacle of bliss.
Yep, I would without pride, to you beseech -
Anything for your kiss!

'Tis fine art in a frame - you as a girl
In a picture, so old.
Now, there's nothing I would not do, my pearl, 
To hear your laugh like gold!
