                Progressives squawk

Staring at the galaxy by our eyes

Nothing and no one could ever revise....

Then a quote should be worth a million.
If what you say could change the day
then your speech is worth a trillion....

Limerick : Once a Grand Duke in Londonderry

Once a Grand Duke in Londonderry
Thought he could run his own Grand Duchy
So he slammed door on Queen
Gave full vent to his spleen
Now he’s left with trillion debt treasury.

You can't tell a trillion dollar business what to do
if one pipe wont suck it up why not two
we're not fisherman
we don't care about you
no you can't tell a trillion dollar business what to do
we own the government and the oceans
once blue...

Listen to poem:

A Trillion Points of Light
David J Walker

As a Son 
of the father
I am carbon
I am water
Avocations alma mate
In the night

I am a living
	Breathing being
Procrustean 
perceiving 
There is more to life 
than Seeing
A trillion points
 of light...

The Vintage Queen
Writer tributes to The Queen Marlene Willough
A soft and firm pillow
An actress who kept us entertained for years
One of us and one in a million
A precious ruby whose price is in trillion
A star who ruled the stage
ARK salutes you Miss Vintage....

After his sentence of four to serve
Will we be better for having known you?

A trillion point four is a whole heap
More than this mind can compute
Prison or healthcare 
Weighing in the balance

Do we really want to make laws that make criminals out of our citizens for money 
issues?...

One to the next is its mother
Each fiscal cliff breeds another
There's no golden goose
Oh brother, this chain noose
Causes all commerce to smother

Kick debt ceiling blues in the groin
With Ponzi whose scheme we should join
He's someone now dead
For the platinum head
Of a trillion buck magic act coin...

Here come a billion trillion pinpricks,
Earthbound in a headlong plummet,
Off my tiny window each bead flicks,
With the sparkle of a liquid comet. 

Up at the pouring sky I take a peep,
And scan a city that’s much too wet,
Soon I'm lying in my king-sized bed,
By sounds of rain I'm lulled to sleep....

Listen to poem:

Cosmic Prize

An accident, you say

Inconsequential 
To rise from sleep and 
Mark the day 

Brought on 
in a Trillion traces 
the faces of another dawn

The universe at play

Who knows 
How the sun first rose
Who witnessed the display 

Who realized the cosmic prize
That marks the Milky Way...

Fifteenth minute ~ before midnight 
First snowflake fell ~ so bright and white 
'Fore the bell ~ rung Franklin Square 
Filled speckled white ~ in breezy air 

Five trillion flakes ~ cov'rn the ground 
Flowing still ~ hoov'rn around 
For twelve more hours ~ tic-tock, tic-tock 
Flurries fell ~ 'round the clock...

One in a million
One in a billion
One in a trillion
Thank You Edward Snowden
Your Name is Enough.
Note. The one who stood against agencies.
Lesson. Those who fly solo have the strongest wings.
Q.Do we want to live in a society where we live totally naked in front of government and they are totally opaque to us?...

Love and paradise
met in the red room
when starlight sang
the waltz of time

the night was set
a million years ago
when warmth and affection
were brightly born

"softly" said love
to the rim of pleasure
as they danced
serenaded by a trillion stars

"when we are old
let men say
love and paradise
came one night
and left us joy"...

Chic like a pair of shoes
Hair shiny like a trillion diamonds
Legs long, like miles of concrete
Face so rare yet unidentified
She was a woman 
Too many troubles within
Beauty so unspeakable
Her look was like a stoney glare
I tried to touch her
But so afraid in comparison
I scampered back into the ugly shadows like me...

Fireworks now -- oohs, aahs, wows
  Back then, musket shots in glens

Parades now -- amusing attractions
  Back then, soldiers in traction

Population now -- hundreds of millions
  Population then, 2,500 -- a dozen cotillions

Documents then -- Declaration of Independence
  Documents now -- Trillion-dollar Amendments...

How can I ever forgive and forget
that evening in my ancestral home,
as past the menagerie we roamed.
Your luscious lips of vermillion
broke my heart in a trillion
pieces as mockingbirds deluded
in the  twilight garden secluded
by frangipani which infuse the
air by the moonlit pellucid ripples.
Masking the sound of my sniffles....

A trillion ghosts of bugs
quietly haunting
this ramshackled shack.

I only notice them
on hollowed eves
when I am lying on my back.

An entire hive of apparitions—

Oh, how empty it looks
to the unwise.

To be alive on this side—

Hallucinating through fire
and ultra-focused eyes.

I have more friends than anyone I know....
