Oh hello you,
Right or left which way?
Around the corner, up or down the escalator?
Notice the sights, the smells galore.
Good things come to those who wait...6,7,8
Every step you take, makes this closer to a date...
Just in case you need a hint
Usually a smoothie, but with a colored tint Let's think now, but how?
I wouldn't make obviously easy
Ultimately the poem is a means to an end See you soon, a chapter waiting to be written.
To be true to myself
I need to speak loud and clear
~ share what’s on my mind

Cart before horse
Drink the horse to water
Spill the bean to go-betweens
Hold hands to stay the course
Bygones never happened on, by here
Slay the messenger! Doggone they're here!
Dilemmas are binary, but one 'tis nothing
Bury the Lede; Let the moored go free
Leap before you bridge the gap
By the way, if you never asked?
Petals on daisy chain flowers are odd!
Loves me, Loves me not, ...?
A dozen dancing markers ran through the streets screaming for help
Avoiding Mr. Gold and his thugs as best they could
Unfortunately, coal and ebony got lost in a Chicago alley
Their runaway plans thwarted when the mafioso grabbed them.
I asked if the film maker had gotten this on video.
She said yes, and she had zoomed in on the door locks
Which went down the second they were thrown into the back seat
What kind of car was it? The detective from downtown asked her.
She tried to make light of it, but he was insistent.
Taking our finger prints too which was not easy
As markers do not have hands for this kind of thing.
The police sergeant was forced to try other ways to identify the markers.
Do you have green cards? Drivers’ licenses? School I.D.’s?
No detective was ever so thwarted without doing much of anything.
He went home saddened by his inability to solve the case.
Humanity's produced all through the ages
A thin but steady stream of brilliant sages.
Good and Evil... the Meaning of Life...
The causes of all our confusion and strife...
Good guidance and advice come from their careful pondering
As we, their students, through our lives we're wandering.
Now at last a new sage shines so bright:
She knows EVERTHING -- and is ALWAYS right!
With her we now may achieve Total Reform:
Racial, Sexist, Ethnic, Cultural...
Religious, Economic, Political...
Ethical and Moral; personal and collective...
Without us being overly reflective!
To free our selves - and World! - of every awful vice,
We only need to follow Mom's encompassing advice.
Devote ourselves to faithfully follow her Grand Plan:
"Everybody, be NICE!"
Many different colours,
sizes and even shapes,
some are more beautiful,
others are just common,
some are more expressive,
others are just unexpressive.
Eyes can see, eyes can talk,
and beyond our eyes
there are hidden worlds.
They can show happiness,
sadness, glory, love,
passion and much more,
but they also can be a wall
to look at; what eyes hide,
sometimes can be a mystery
for us to discover.
Our soul mirror's eyes can be
when you can cross the main screen,
otherwise, they only are cold icebergs to avoid.
Oh...what eyes hide?,
we all want to see
behind that challenging mirror,
behind the blue or the hazel,
the black, the green, or brown,
behind the enigma
of those, whose eyes don't talk for themselves.
What eyes hide
is our forever question,
which answer will aways be
a big equation to solve.
I wonder if it is true,
That we produce more E-waste than food for you and me.
If I had a magic wand on me,
I would turn my electronics waste into food for more than just me.
As I do not possess one,
My best hope is to find someone,
To invent the technology,
That is not too stodgy,
Won't ruin my teeth,
And is generally good for my health.
Until that happens,
I will keep using my brains,
Instead of buying yet another calculator,
And food from my Garden I will continue to share with those, next door,
Who sold out to the developer,
Who promised them a life filled with technology that is better,
And bigger than anything they had before,
Neglecting to tell them they would soon become food poor.
always have a thirst
solve pollen which is the worst
practiced and rehearsed
Prayer will Solve by being a Safety Valve poems only.com/ twitter/ facebook/ linked in/ ibeu/g/ sb/ brk/ ooetry soup
Prayer can cure any malady
It can arrest the worst tragedy
It will save us from every jeopardy
Please use prayer as a remedy
Prayer can be brief and short
It must come out from heart
God will surely play His part
As He will surely comfort
When a prayer is hopefully said
Peace then enters one's head
By Godly forces, one is led
One can with peace go ahead
Prayer offers mind the best cure
Due to prayer, nothing can injure
Prayer makes our heart pure
Solution via prayer is damn sure
Pray and pray and pray forever
God will end shiver and fever
God alone ditches us never
He only makes bliss flower.
The pain swings up,
Like bright mornings,
Moon dog nights.
The pain swings,
Down we go,
Into the depths.
Feet feeling
The body's heart pain.
Coping mechanisms sought out:
Time, mediation, sleep.
Fishing? What if I caught a trout?
To break this mental hold?
Starbucks can't solve everything.
Even now time runs out.
With so much more to say.
The sweet, sick swinging of the pain.
Problems man can't solve
He refers to God
Because man's wisdom is limited
And man's confidence will finally collapse
He blames God
For whatever it is
Because he's the creator
He creates man and the universe
He'll be responsible
But I just don't understand
Because it's beyond my knowledge
But I never blame my parents
Who bring me to this world
Who give me life
Education and happiness
And no matter how much there are
Different generations
Different life styles
From deficiency to abundance
From neglect to care
From basic education to higher education
From man monopolization to women arising
From single income bearers to both parents working
From self-raising babies to baby sisters to nurseries
Different generations
Different perspectives of life
Different hazards
Different confrontations
Who is happier
Man is always curious and greedy
They always make problems to be solve
Like pollution, wars, bribery, disputes,racism
Who is happier
Finally they will lean to religions
But who knows God is not to be bribed
God will only help those who help themselves
Corona Omicron what else is coming ?
Will the ruler of the world be viruses ?
men of the science prayers to the God fighting !
Corona Omicron what else is coming ?
we must save life, the human race from sinking.
What's the mystery, Man, God ? solve the cases.
Corona Omicron what else is coming ?
Will the ruler of the world be viruses ?

Man is a living thing
With going perspectives
With changes
In characters and behaviours
In the spiritual and mterial worlds
Too difficult to understand thoroughly
Are psychology, philosophy, religion
The dictionaries
To solve these puzzles
I wonder
What there is to offer a help,
and proffer a profile (drugs) and solutions,
to life and its problems and tip,
do I know whether notions?,
one now I found and read and meditate,
that if men and women left this way,
still offer to relocate...?.
