   The yard sale was great.
   Sold everything in my place.
   Now to start over new.
   Influencers tell me what to do.
   Have a need for food, shelter, and clothes.
   They say that's not the way to go.

AoTEARoa aka New Zealand

Spine chilling velocity
Willing feverish ferocity
Pollution spilling atrocity
Pushes our buttons
Top billing forging
Fiendish drilling pomposity
Gluttons gorging in the isles of muttons

Coining the term “purloining”
Plunder even here down under
Cast asunder..can hear the thunder
In the proud land of 
The long white cloud

Scold from the fold to heal
But won’t listen..do a deal
Gaudy gems appeal..glisten
History sold for pieces of gold

Cower to

Premium Memberoffice space that has never sold

A spacious office was big and bold
Now it is an unused space, painted bold
There is a hut-like cubbyhole with mold
To get in there, your legs have to fold
The air is on high, so this space is cold
Hoarder-messy, it has never sold

Premium MemberSold Out Star Wars Tribute

Walking to the film in tandem,
sold it out for opening night. 
Fanboys and girls define fandom
walking to the film in tandem. 
That iconic phrase 'Rebel Scum'
meant to be under marquee light.
Walking to the film in tandem,
sold it out for opening night.

I have something precious that money cannot buy, no matter how hard you try to convince me that money can make me happy, I would be living a lie if I sit by your side without a dime in my purse and continue to work in the dirt, that is not what I mean, I

Caged Dreams

Caged Dreams

1.
You keep us in cages,
Thinking we are slaves,
But a day will come,
When we will escape.

2.
We look up from our cages,
Longing to be free—
As free as the birds
That soar through the skies.

3.
You think us foolish,
You think us weak,
But a day will come
When you will regret—
Regret every cruel word
That spills from your lips.

4.
You sold us like

I Sold My Gold

In the dire moments of constant fear,
anyone can sense danger from all sides...
wondering if this is our final chapter,
or the continuation of more absurd lies!

I sold my gold to pay off some hefty bills:
a bracelet and a chain I wore at gala parties;
I agreed to a lesser price and feel at peace...
kicking off many worries

Sold

To be sold by the people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at 
Just 9 years old
For alcohol and laughs 
To be sold 
Day after day
Why fight?
To be sold by people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at 
Just 10 years old
Fear filled eyes 
Scared of the dark
But can’t handle what’s in the

They Sold Your Soul

There’s a place that exists
between Hell and Hell
We’re doing the balancing act
on the wobbly center rail
trying hard to keep our sanity

America, I’d pledge allegiance
if I only knew which country owns us
I’ve asked the questions
never get the straight answers
The answers they give only
turn out to be more questions

My father told me there would be
a light at

What I Love Has Been Sold

Was forced to do this,
Do what I hate,
What I loved, I will miss,
These days, my love's final dates

What I love, or my true passion,
Gone, after being given these ways,
What I wear of myself, my fashion,
Gone, those loved days

What seems strange is that I was expected to care,
Care about things I was forced to do,
The thinking

You Sold Your Soul

This poem / song is inspired by the many famous people out there, particularly in the entertainment industry, who sell their souls to get ahead in their business. Oftentimes, they lose their way and never recover. 

You sold your soul
By Michelle Morris

You sold your soul
For fame and shiny toys;
Wanted all that was shallow,
Including no good

The realtor ushered us up the cracked sidewalk,
Paint peeling from the clapboards
Revealed a rainbow of colors in the cracks.
Like a geologist who looks at canyon walls
And sees the ebb and flow of oceans writ large,
We could chart the house’s history
In the dusty rose and drab olive paint layers.

We entered through the loose-handled
Squeaky-hinged door.
Age had faded
