UNSHACKLING THE MIND
To the downtrodden, the marginalized, and worn,
Is this the fate that's yours to mourn?
The bourgeoisie, a cabal of power and might,
Gather to crush the poor, and snuff out their light.
The poor, in turn, unwittingly join the fray,
Oppressing themselves, in a vicious cycle of disarray.
Since time immemorial, I've witnessed this sad refrain,
Rarely seeing the rich and

the wealthy people
The wealthy couple
who live on an island in the Far East
but once a year, they visit Europe
every year when I see them, they have changed
Alas, I wish it had been for the better
both are followers of a health regime concocted
by a Guru of the type that prays on the rich
they are now advanced middle-aged

Full of Breaches - Bitcoin Poem 072
The history of fiat
Is chock full of breaches
Of centralized power
That pushes and reaches
Debasing our money
The looters and leeches
Gaslighting people
With Keynesian speeches
Where is our money
In fractional banks?
They lend out in bubbles
And give us no thanks
Restricting our freedoms
With raw overreaches
Yes, the history of fiat
Is brimming with breaches
But now we have freedom
From theft and abuse
A better

Wealthy Opportunities
Sacred,
unlike corrupt,
wealth
May also become
mental health,
unlike pathology
Empowering compassion,
unlike disempowering dispassion
Co-invests in win/win
economic relationships
Which may also become
co-operative political partnerships
Rooted in courageous
deep felt listening,
bicameral breathing
Pregnant pauses
open to silent
nonviolent procreation
of health minded
and grace embodied
deep multicultural re-connected
re-ligioned holistic meaning
Integrity's warm
unconditional potential
compassion of Left green minds
and integrity of Right red-kin-kind
organic bodies
Exploring further win/win
peak and valley
front and back
out and

Wealthy
I have a dream of affluence.
Of dripping gold and bread..
To feed the mouths of children
Save the hungry from their dread
I have a hope of heaven.
Where the generous are free
To liberate the captives
Where compassion is the key
It's not the stash I'm after.
It's genuinely not.
My rainbow ends with colours
Not some ever roving pot
I

Independently Un-Wealthy
Getting to know the canned goods aisle
in the dollar store was fun,
the ladies have been most helpful
in finding Chinese knock-off junk.
The Senior Center makes a passable Salisbury steak
and who needs gravy?
Independences has taken a down turn -
our addled leader blames some Russian guy,
the supply train is chained-up somewhere,
eventually we may all die from Global Pawning,
at

Scrounging
Paying repentance and biding my time
Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme
Waking up bleary and hitting the bricks
Thinking while scheming, getting my kicks
Presently cashing a low income check
Vigorously chasing another train wreck
Paying repentance and biding my time
Scrounging around for my lost piece of rhyme
So many choices, different points of thought
Mere moments in history when

Healthy Thinking
Are we thinking, about money
or do we think, about honey
Are we thinking, about our health
or do we think, about our wealth
Are we thinking, of the needy
or do we think, for the greedy
Are we thinking, for all life
or do we think, just for your own life
