I Ain't No Good

I ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should,
My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time.
What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long,
But my woman seems to know it all by heart.

She got her degree, in what is wrong with me,
First a master’s, then a Ph.D.
She lectures all around, relatin’

The Journey of RCF: Tenure of Mercy

In a world of journeys,
A path we found,
A path woven with waves of emotions,
A path of laughter and tears.
RCF, a home of care we found.

RCF
A journey of change,
A journey of power,
A journey of unity,
A journey of voices,
A journey of love.
RCF, a journey that stretched us.

RCF
A journey where shyness turned to bravery,
A journey of learning,
A babe

Dear Teacher Tenure

Dear Tenure for Teachers,

You need to abolish yourself.
Be honorable and do the right thing.
Overdose on morphine or jump off a cliff into a den of wild wolves.
The good teachers do not need you.
You are around to help the ones who need to leave the profession.
You have saturated our profession with unprofessionalism.
In any other business, the

Tenure, a Terza Rima Sonnet

Are our spirits that of the great Thunderbird
sowing their seeds within the powerful storm
are we just feathers afloat like useless words

slowly they float down landing within the form.
See the steamy breath rise from the buffalo
the majestic beast with his coat is quite warm.

Are you grasped by a mournful wolves howling woe
such lonely sadness during the

A Long Tenure

Down the busy road I ride
Spiralling control of the reins,
Drenched in sweat with pride
I surrendered myself to the rains.

Merchants I met many
During my service at the docks,
I couldn't but find ,any
Wanderer like me in the merchant's block.

The tenure I recall
Of visiting the sandy desert,
Where the sun lets the ember fall 
Is the only description ,it's

Tenure

I am sneaking in a bit of me time again.
Maniacal laughter here
In actuality, I sneak in a bit of work in between my me-times.
Luckily, they do not know
As no one keeps an eye on me anymore.
They are afraid of what they might see
And I have tenure.
No matter how insane I get,
This protects me.
It is my

The Tenure Star

It all started when I took a typing test
I did 95 words per minute and made two errors
The requirement was 50 or more words
Human Resources was impressed and set up the Department interview
It was my history in becoming 33 years ago
This is my personal streaming flow
Now let’s start the show
The date was June 21, 1982

New Tenure, Fresh Hopes

Welcome to the hot seat our new president
where pressure and strain are the porters of your office
you might have got our mandates
but our minds are filled with clouds of uncertainties

Please number one citizen, concentrate
and avoid any form of foul play
remember that we are not a herd of cows
being directed without a say or question

Challenges have

Temporal Tenure

I stood on shore at rivers edge
And gazed at it as it streamed by
Me. I was mesmerized by its
Uninterrupted babbling voice
That captured my receptive ears.
I thought about eternity:
Thinking how insignificant
I[we] are in the scheme of things.
This majestic river flowing
Through time endlessly to the sea
While I a humbled sojourner
Standing on forever’s shoreline
Realizing temporariness
Even for a moment
