Treasures of the Past
[Verse 1[
In a dusty room, treasures of the past,
Framed memories linger, shadows they cast.
A man reflects on stories untold,
With the wisdom of ages, and courage so bold.
Echoes of laughter, the smiles and the cries,
Time stands still as the moment defies.
[Chorus]
Timeless memories, captured in light,
Friendship eternal, in the soft twilight.
Each glance tells a story, each line holds a dream,
In the dance of the past, nothing’s as it seems.
[Verse 2]
Beside him stands a figure, made of wood and paint,
Silent but knowing, no need for complaint.
They share a connection, both old and new,
In the heart of this haven, friendships grew.
Through thick and thin, tales woven tight,
Together they shine, like stars in the night.
[Chorus]
[Outro]
So, here’s to the moments, forever we keep,
In the whispers of history, our souls gently (s)weep.
This treasury of Quiet
Cruder, a world in chaos
There, yond, does beset.
That guarded over, solely
Roomed, in rooms walled up of trees
By we, the lonely.
A world stabilized by signature
Completed comprehension of letters
Leaving of all accounted
To begin work without support
Endowing the mind of all alive
Without distraction
The treasury note
Bill is paid
I spoke nothing in tongues
Check is written forth
Before failure begins a new
Annuity is gained interest from slovenly designed
Augment of an unhoused mind
Redaction of treasury note
Labor has de fine as wage
Add of time in coursed labor
Constriction of appendage is resignation
Much treasure lies within
a Souper's tour begins,
word nuggets to delight
arranged and in plain sight.
No digging into sand
just a day in poetry land,
such brilliance can be found
by poets from all around.
No better place to see
great poems of this treasury.
So Thank you all for sure,
I look forward to my next tour!
A book of words, so big and bright,
Helps us learn, day and night.
It shows us meanings, one by one,
So we can understand, and have fun.
From A to Z, it's all inside,
A world of words, where we can reside.
It teaches us, how to say,
And helps us write, in a better way.
Seigniorage refers to the profits
A government earns by creating and
Issuing new currency for a nation, but
The seigniorage benefits those in power
Who receive the new money first via the
Cantillon effect. Specifically, the Federal
Reserve, the US Treasury, & large banks
Therefore
In order to foster more equality in finance
We can move to a decentralized currency
In the Bitcoin network the profits earned
From creating new bitcoin are given out
To those who work maintaining and
Securing the network, rather than to
Any centralized person or group
Disaster Looming
Since this virus
Has come to be,
All unnatural
Happenings we see,
In the store,
Pray it’s not later,
That you find toilet paper!
Hurry! We need more
Everyone’s breaking down the door!
No sanitizers! No bread! No eggs!
No napkins! No paper towel!
No aspirin!
This is a mortal sin!
This is totally unnatural!
Hundreds of thousands
Collecting unemployment,
We have a military deployment!
Companies closing! Gyms closing!
Pools closing! Stores closing!
Beauty salons and barber shops closing!
Churches and synagogues cancelling services
Enough to cause anyone nervousness!
Government going to pay everyone
$1,000-$2,000 per person,
Government going to bail out hotels
And airlines-over $50 billion bucks
What horrible luck
We are all facing now,
The devil must be taking a bow,
Disaster looming,
No flowers blooming,
Government bankrupt folks
US Treasury gone broke!

When they keep roaming about
Know something is coming aloud
They will share a plate with thee for now
All for something that you can't see around
Once they gets hold of it, boom! they land
Much disbursement on franchise
Lot of buy buy to appease
Too much bank drafts in the street
But they accumulates back to the teeth
All for proper usage overseas
After ascending the throne,
They grew bones with horns
They become rulers with thorns
Control seats from home
Rotates the post with nepotism
Lot of godfathers settlement
Too many lavishing and merriment
Life overseas for enjoyment
Offspring no where at the moment
But are groomed for the movement
Empty treasury they complaint
Precursor have grind the nation
They have flown with the lot
But budgets is appreciating
Allowance never depreciating
Empowerment still rolling in
Little wonder if it's a journey of mandates
Why they find it difficult to locate the gate
If they can not really appreciate
Because the nation is not their mate
Whether stepping down would lead to hates
Since the masses have no right to the cake.
Within the framework
of my writing,
Inside my poetry,
words came out,
painting the parchment
with influx of indelible
words of living,
my heart speaks,
my fear speaks,
emotions speak,
and my soul speaks that which
the spirit utters,
my struggles are seen
through the window of the mind
that my heart opened.
My consciousness translates
the sacred words which
the God of my heart revealed.
The hand arranged into words
those things that are seen by the eyes.
Formed into words are impressions
the ears constantly gathers.
Words are powerful,
they are divinely coded symbols.
Mysteries are hidden in words
that are formed in the mind
and uttered by the mouth.
Words carries within it the seed
of the moment to sprout tomorrow.
There are treasury of thoughts within man.
Take heed of the words that comes out of you. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
Live with bold zest on this good earth,
Opt to see light as grace floods joy;
Voice wit and fest to hurl fond mirth,
Expand insight to play and ploy;
Learn to abide beyond mere things,
Yield to soul draft that ever knows.
Trust not that pride that blindly flings,
Rise with deep craft with seamless flow;
Explore the way of ecstasy,
Align your heart with love most kind;
Sow then each day sure harmony,
Use precious art to hurl new finds;
Rich treasury comes from love dear,
Yes sanctuary of wisdom cheers.

A region of large treasury covered by sand
most massive in the Middle Eastern geography
and a peninsula, known to be the world’s largest
is the origin to the fastest growing faith
and a home sustained by absolute monarchy
Conservative ideology, well crafted into lifestyle
diffusing such through the medium of horses,
and exoticism well symbolized by camels
with Mecca and Medina the center of its holy shrines
It may be the last follower of women political empowerment,
the world’s largest domain without flowing water,
or a fighter to alcoholism, birth control and homosexuality
but not left behind in technological adventures.
Beauty and strength, lies in this kingdom of Arabia.
