Graced with wages of his love:-

He who is content with his lot

Accept the wages of honest labor
   No need to hunger for more

And thought most hoarders were liable
With sin for wages
We all took pages
As toilet paper most viable

Dispelling the wages of war and sin,
As phoenix arrives, a new world will begin.

A House Divided

Evermore the battle wages on.
My body aches for unity,
and my house cries for reconstruction.
I cry out every day for the One,
but push the soul food aside.

A Muse Goes Dark

Tear out my hair 
  Rip up the pages
Life's never fair
  Frustration its wages  

Fear overcomes me
  Inspiration flees
Bells toll the decree
  Silence my pleas

After Explaining the Draft To My Four-Year Old

In our nation’s final, fatal stages
Before our country falls
From cowardice within,
Our daughters die for soldier’s wages.
And when the bugle calls
Out taps…it sounds our sin.

El Diablo

Speak of the devil
 he will appear
Trailing your thoughts
relining your fears

Tail of the dragon
wages of sin
Your ninth life in ashes
— fire within

Poverty Is Expensive

Poverty is expensive
To those already poor -
Costing their time, wages

And spirit, yet they live 
A hopeful porter
In their villages -

Subject to elitism. 
I, for one, never
Received an invitation.

Good Food

Eating good food, chewing my lettuce.
Let us pray
over good food,
which I relish, with age.

The sage says, eat your salad
because
the wages of good food,
with a setting of dusk, is good for your soul.

False Profits

False profits,
Are usually followed by real losses,
That make way for real bosses.

Real profits,
Come from real wages,
Real customer service,
An Active Complaints Department, 
And lots of repeat customers.

The Tenderloin

I’ve lived up 
till now
with my thumb
in life’s eye
In reckless
abandon
I shucked
and I jived

No virgin
was safe
no harlot
denied
The wages
of sin
my fortune
— allied

Wages of Sin

Injected eyes,
Poached-egg lids,
Rosy cheeks,
While walking he reels.

Speech irrelevant,
Belly corpulent,
Handshake hot,
Language rot,

These will be the wages of sin,
For those who live on whisky and gin.
