The patriot platform, have come to the fore.' In England, making an impact
Of that i am quite sure' can they bring
Co-hesion? Lift a country of of its floor.?
They say they are non-violent, and shy of
Politics/law..I can't see an easy road at all.'
So many promises have fallen through.'
Can they steer clear of the banksters
Usurious; fell and foul.that is so true" Then maybe
Just maybe? they can get their land out of
The hole its entered, with right actions and stromg hands , to the plough. They
Need to be, and stay as people centered.'
I’ve never dined on caviar,
The finest instead, a Mars bar.
No palace key for this housing Czar
Sip water alone, not at a gilded bar.
The challenge must be taken on the chin
And not merely with audacious spin
A moratorium won’t fix the cause
Of that usurious interest clause
And gestures from the righteous
To address this crisis
Have long past worn thin
Though life is well-equipped with knocks
Nonetheless, the misery clocks
And platitudes from a soapbox
Won’t outfox a notice
Sliding through the letterbox
There’s no bright light from the corporate sphere,
Shining down on hardship, here
Though those with good jobs try to spread cheer
Their lives are not as good as they appear
With some sleeping in a car
Obtaining meals from Spar, just near.
Who are you? Self awareness is very tricky.
You’re very complicated, we all are,
people are the most complicated things
we encounter in our everyday lives.
Now imagine two complicated people together.
We manage this complexity by limiting each other,
with social contracts, to limit usurious behaviours.
If we abide by the contracts things are simplified.
Part of that is being polite - you don’t want a complex,
bank teller, dentist or policeman - our society runs
on simple transactions - perhaps 10 for each of us daily.
The wild card is emotion - that’s why sex is so tricky.
Do you want to depend on an emotional doctor
or be stopped by a really emotional policeman?
I think not.
Rapacious greed
avarice's creed
voracious appetite
devours every bite
Never enough silver
craves ever more gold
his insatiable lust
never grows old
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini
Porsche, five Ferraris
Cadillacs and BMW's
beneath him ~ sorry
Charges usurious rent
hoards every last cent
on his family tree
a branch diseased and bent

I will always love you
Days may shorten
Nights may tarry
But in all
Your love will live in me
In the days you' ll be my sun
In the dark you are my stars
In the cold you hearthen my soul
In the heat you are my cool fountain
You thought me to believe in me
To push backs at usurious persons
To find my own voice
To speak my mind,
That no one stones a barren tree
That they attack my value
You worried when i went hungry
You made a meal and waited for me
You told me i was lovable
You gave me courage to love
You are my first true val
Happy valentine
My love
Amorous
Passion’s roar
Arborous
Tarzan’s door
Curious
Probing more.
Luxurious
Plush galore
Ominous
Gloomy gore
Belarus
Boxer born
Bilious
Anger pour
Furious,
Angry core
Usurious
Using bore.

Think as one.
Unanimous
Agreed…
“NO MORE!”
