Resolve to upgrade, grow food,
And build EQUITY!...

Santa Claus came into town,
Riding ruby red techno-
digital sleigh complete with
iPad, iPhone too.

His reindeer flying beside
Him for effect, they refused 
to retire and kids do love 
to hear hooves on rooves.

Put on a brash label
That a collector's get moist
Upgrade his shelf level
Nevermind the cracked old vinyl voice

One of the four divisions
Spend bread when it meets the eye
the same scan with precision
Just those loaded images don't satisfy...

S-tart of the New Age 
A-ims to upgrade everything; 
M-odernization has begun to keep inventions coming. 

V-ision of the discoverers 
I-s aimed at the knowledge; 
S-tate-of-the-art devices see the day, 
D-ecember twelfth shares the New 
A-ge....

The
Soup
Is my
Newest home.
Digital writings
Flood the domain as eyes scour
Pouring our hearts, souls, and minds on bleached sheets of paper.
The trial has completed and my home is chosen. Time for an upgrade to premium!

Just be still when bliss beats cascade 
Resist not love’s embrace
Enjoy soul’s consciousness upgrade
Enabled by God’s grace

Awareness perceptive
Tranquil and receptive 
Sidesteps fears deceptive 

Voids will fill
Just be still

If you are wise, don’t make me fool.
If a person is human why is he so cruel?
Why is a human poor? Because
Intelligence is holding the upgrade tool.

Is your main function human exploitation?
Is your main function human degration?
Do you think a man wants to live as human?
Are you n’t developing a insulted nation?...

R-oom for improvement
E-nhances your quality; 
C-hoose the right formula, 
A-iming for the victory.

C-reate, advance or make
U-seful addition or correction; 
B-ecoming better or effective, 
E-ven perfect in action.
R-efine and upgrade, as you apply an amendment; 
O-n the twenty-third of May, there's a room for improvement....

I got what I deserve
a third rate circumstance
of my own making.

Over the decades
I've downgraded a few times
tossed the good ones aside
and swallowed the rotten.
Now I dream in burlap.
and wear jester boots.

It's too late, I've made my bed 
to late to upgrade
the pitch is to steep.
That's why 
karma 
snarls
at
me....

People say
Life is to be insured by
Insurance
Education and qualifications
Money and treasures
Medicine
We man finally find out that
Nothing can be totally insured
So during our life spans
Why not multiply our happiness
By sharing with others
Who are less fortunate
Why not upgrade our reputation
By doing good and avoid evil...

Looking back at the times
one can`t help but wonder
ceaseless urge to upgrade
modification of age grade

From cradle to golden
spoon golden or wooden
recognition in the making
without a second thinking

Burning candle the alternative
viewing stardom the motive
shunning every story
to give birth the glory

Still i have a story
but lo` it`s a success story!...

If you can see it, it’s quite a sight
A shark in the soup, a great white
Huge teeth and stone dead black eyes
To approach it, I do not advise
It only appears in December
To feast on a premium member
Life members do not apply
And the others are only small fry
Premium members are you afraid
I bet that you want to upgrade

Shark in the soup contest

Open the door to your deepest desire 
look inside this fantasy factory;
It may be blurry but it’s clear to see
you can always get a little higher;
Ambition breeds something of a spitfire
building skills and aiming for mastery;
Open the door  
renegade instigators for hire,
able to express themselves so freely;
If you feel stuck and are feeling badly 
upgrade to an optimistic rewire;
Open the door....

no other movement feels like this
no other soothing stroke equals this bliss

there is only one comparison agreeable to me
that is the unconditional loyalty of thee

heal my sanity and lubricate my chassis
humble my vanity and upgrade me from ashy to classy

thank you for giving me a gift of the rarest of forms
for the bond the we created and will strengthen will surely weather even the mightiest of storms.......

Oh, to have skin that's thick and tough
Where nothing's really strong enough
To penetrate and cause a wound,
Too thick to even be harpooned.

Some lucky souls are built that way
And keep life's stings and barbs at bay,
Protected by such armored skin
That nothing hurtful trickles in.

Alas, my skin's like cellophane;
Each minor pinprick causes pain.
An upgrade to a thicker hide
Would help slough off my wounded pride....

A girl you always think
Is a showpiece to blink
Just for you and like ones
But you must now rethink

A resolution I have made
To throw away the cascade
And join hands with thorns
To change and to upgrade

I don’t want to waste time
In the hesitations of a prime
I want to win over hurdles
And with world to rhyme

I want none of decorations
Or any childish temptations
I want to present examples
For my coming generations...

A termite’s a guy who just loves the woods
It gnaws him because he’s just not understood
His nightmares, a version of Sentricon hell
You love oak and cherry, why can’t he as well?
A villain who’s bred by your dereliction
Spy him out early, ‘cuz he’s no pulp fiction
He wants you to upgrade, pack up and move on
He’s Jaws and he’s Spectre ‘gainst your Termite Bond

Why do some fear to pass,
and others fear to trod?
As the sun heats up our shadows,
paradise is burying God.

From across the silver sea
to our golden coasts,
the country is now haunted
by hundreds of holy ghosts.

Say goodbye, we are sinking.
Will your paradise ever rise?
See, the Sunday reign is falling,
false hope never satisfies.

Paradise needs an upgrade,
is freedom really free?
After you cross all your deserts,
meet me by the happy sea....

These are the days of ambient light
Where speech is bastardised into winking icons
Where binary money buys the next upgrade
Sunlight seen through a man made lens
Imagination imprisoned on the net
Our lives the library books of an electric race
Relationships ripped on live tv
We are the desensitized generation
The qwerty kings and queens
all the answers a finger tip away
We are humanity trapped within the world wide web 
And the internet is never appeased...

My husband brews terrible tea
So I asked him repeatedly
To pre warm the pot
With water that's hot
But he never listened to me!

I admit I should not be rude
But his tea tasted dreadfully stewed
T'was bitter and brown
Each cup made me frown
He said I showed no gratitude! 

So I embarked on a crusade
And purchased a shiny teasmaid
It makes the perfect brew
There is plenty for two
I’m delighted I made the upgrade!

TOTAL FICTION POEM!...

Remembering all the many years
we called on you to drop your fears.
Audits we said you would not fail
if signature were by email.
And invoices in copies sent
would not end up with noses bent.
We screamed paperless for so long
and all it took was a viral song.

You said we’d never work from home
Doing conferences by phone, 
or Zoom which we had for a decade.
You stifled every sensible upgrade.

Then once the threat got up in your face
In two weeks the undoable was in place....

Tonight
the street is full of poems
hanging, shimmering
frozen petals in the air

He who dares to pick one
makes no imprint in the holy snow.

I would love it if Soupers could give me some critical feedback. I don't even mind very very strong critiques as long as they're constructive. I'm always encouraged by all the positive comments you all give me, but I think it's time to upgrade my writing skills. ;) So come on and take my poem to pieces, people! :D...
