Worldly Wise
If the world is going to hell in a handbasket, 'Who's holding the handle?' is the real question, and I have to ask it. Also, I wonder how well the world would function if all corruption were removed at this junction. Destroy despotism, no more nepotism, do away with liars, fakers, thieves, heartbreakers, abolish pundits, politicians, priests, on-the-takers. If we eliminate crime, cigarettes,...

What Of Worldly Games
Loud silence tends to speak in a definitive tone The derivatives are broken english singing a similar song An ape is just a copy taking a swing for the stands The ballpark in another league on grounds they'll never stand Understand over & under whenever placing a bet Make sure the horse you ride is one you thoroughly vet Backing one from the looks of things can...

Other Worldly Help
She took long strides by the seaside, Weary and world-worried, she cried, The waves crashed in a misty roar, Etching frowns in a frothy hoar, She wondered at what would betide; The sound of guitar by her side, Made her sigh and seem surprise-eyed, The smell of lilacs came to fore - ...

Worldly Sin
This life can sell you dreams that are too expensive for you to buy Covered eyes can't see the truth as they're being blinded by the lies This wicked world is full of sin affecting all from great to least We're full of ourselves yet we're starving while trapped in the belly of the beast It feasts on those that are lost...

A Worldly Wise Woman Is Solomon Wise
A woman who’s worldly-wise In men’s rooms lies belly-wise: Watching her you choke breath-wise, A bed six meters length-wise! You fail to look you’re not wise: “Please, go and meet the street-wise To stop being rather unwise And your eyes permit the price” A woman for the world wise Could your dear life make her price, Try to with it rise and rise, Now choosing to...

This Worldly Light
The earth is beaten hard by working boots and baked by scorching sun in early spring that cracked like drying skin with calloused corns. As weeds are forked, entwined around the gate, I prised the tendrils, pulling out their roots, then ambered skies descended nightly slopes and gilt the rusted rails with golden tones. Above the crescent moon released aglow...

Worldly Man of God
A huge room not denied luxury, The rejected in it: Misery Of fine glass up to the bookshelf: If one was close to it saw oneself: The weight of a thousand Christian Books And at what the smart owner looks; Glasses for whisky but no whisky: To have whisky displayed risky: "One can't defend in a voice husky What surely makes the keeper frisky". His...

An early morning run across a misty lake comes in, fades out of view with every stroke I take. With pace that ebbs and flows from tunes within my head, I hope the rhythmic rowing will not wake the dead. I try to focus on the things that Austin taught, but mostly, in the moment, I’m enraptured, caught up in this...

My Ship
In the deep chambers of thought came an idea of the optimal comfortable personal transport vehicle. An extremely extraordinary craft using off world bio medium technology, with alloys making it highly tactical and strategical. The outer core increases in strength as it absorbs, stores and release large amounts of controlled connectic energy. It repairs any hull compromising conditions...

Worldly People
Alas! This World is not for me Life among people surrounding me is gloomy All my efforts to cope up are not bloomy That's why I suffer like someone has broken my knee Alas! I am not like the worldly people They surround me like flesh eating eagle They terrify me, as to them, it is legal People & me, we are...

Our planet spins on its tilted axis At a speed of around a thousand Miles per hour, Whilst also rotating around the sun At a speed of sixty-seven-thousand Miles per hour, Could all of this be controlled by an Omnipotent power? We live in a universe that Is constantly changing, Creating, destroying And continually rearranging, We live in a world that has more Questions than answers, Could there...

Not By Worldly Ways Weighed
Dunk in dyes, tainted, nor tinted, In world, not by its ways weathered; Come, put a patch of love ‘pon me That we get not ever severed; Death, only your shelter is such, Op-eyed can one sleep undeterred; Roads wind not any straight for long, Beware, feet, of their ways wayward. Birds ask branches: you know wood well, Who’ll opt, be spade’s...
