POSITIVE THINKING POETRIX





               Usury and surplus value,
                barbarity and treachery
          do not adorn with love and poetry....

Gross Usury

The wife just returned from a store
Where they picked her up off the floor
She suffered a shock
At the Price Check dock
As the price had increased four score!

Stampede

When confronted with
edicts of expendability,
the sanest of minds
condemn usury as a practice
defecating on
the nobler edicts of survival
until all herded
charge the very gates of compliance.

Impetus Penury

Government wish
Poverty wane
This afternoon.

Run out of rice
I put bucket
Enough to eat.

Spring come must
Thrift amount food
Live within week.

Wish the debtor
Not come and lift
Pass usury.

Plastic Dancers

Silver threads
Unseen things
Guiding lights
TV schemes
Puppet arms
Robot legs
2-D masters
Media slaves
Paper heads
Painted green
Plastic hearts
Rented dreams
See-through souls
Glassy eyes
Mailbox fears
Ruin lives
Wind them up
Turn the key
See them dance
To usury

False Liberal

the false liberal
a profiteer
takes advantage of good and vice
wants to profit from our sacrifice...
  Does not  llove life sucks it up,
does not  love humanity
explores it...
Is a pariah,
a parasite
between usury and theft
he exits,
to usurps and boasts
with the fruit of sin...!

Givers

Delicious sweets of red and green:
I know not where else they be seen.
Such amount and diversity!

Great caretakers of peace and love.
Their faces beam bright from above.
A friendship great between us lies.

Grand treasures from those brown;
yet, for repayment we cut them down.
Is usury just gratuity?

Life Is A One Time Offer

Life is a one time offer
Use it well to your advantage
Be an example to do good to others
In doing business, act with fairness
Extend help in times of calamity
Never become rich in the usury of others
Give love with a compassionate heart
Help those who cannot help themselves
Never be enamored of things temporal
Seek things which leads you to eternal joy
Live life that is fulfilling to the soul.

Just Reality

rage great
freedom wrong
just wait
love makes no difference
sedate strong
people 
excavate earth
under steeple 
mayhem ignore
drink mirth
here two cents
strangle birth
tell poor
save money
buy cheap
dark sunny
hard work
never sleep
no such perk
tame lust
virtue secure
top tax cut
bottom tax must
all manure
war backed
mammon
manipulated
usury driven
hope destroying
fear maintaining
political economy
just reality

Romance and Futility At the Grid Iron

These feet and hands move with pride

While frozen minds reside in stations

The gurgle of romance catapults

Limp eyes fortunate to be blind


Setting tables, memories on the wing

Eclipsed lung of chain linked usury

Chance on the balcony flips greater pockets still

Silver rings on the oven to match electricity


Now the grid iron flashes through

Beating heat to patronize tongues

The alphabet of spacial sense

Time barricades these permanent exits
