Worldwide Poems

Rock Bottom

You know you've hit rock bottom for sure
when you find your track
in a used record store
under a stack at the very back
of the ten pee CD rack
(does anyone buy them anymore?)
and you know you've hit the all-time low
it's a sure bet
when you don't see your song
in any list at all
on the worldwide internet
rock bottom don't get lower than that
from up to down at the drop of a hat
better to be a has-been a player in the game
than a never-was because
they may have been the best of times
and tho' memories will last
I won't spend the rest of my days
living in the past

Worldwide Peace

woeful wanting world wages war,
wait, woodland wakens, wondrous wind instruments,
wafting whimsically,
wood nymphs waltz,
whooping cranes whish wherever,
woodpeckers woolgathering,
woebegone withers,
worldwide peace

Of the Worldwide Lie

They told me there is no jackalope.
I said, "your head is like a cantalope!"
Ignorance and fear, better than a cold beer?
Stupidity, like the virus!
Wuhan ….leave it behind us!

Happy Birthday

With every candle blown,
I grow older... 

But with that so are my people... 

With every candle blown,
I grief my people again and again. 

Once which was just a toddler's happiness, 
Is now an adult's grief.

Worldwide Prayer

Please listen to our Savior
Father has always been there
Showing us he cared
Praise from your people
Treated as equals
Divine force
As love mounted the horse
Good news is here
Who has the ear
Father gave us talents for our success
Blessed
Extravageance
His love of elegance
All our efforts are seen
Lord love received
Life within tears of his fountains
God bless the mountains
God built our home above
Constructed it with love
Derived
Realized
If you search for me with all heart and mind
Seek me and ye shall find
Jesus Christ our King gave back
Hearts like ours will never lack

Keola-Sonnet-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Imagine perched above, you ride THE lofty throne
Peering through pellucid skies to seek our MORAL truth
You yearn to spread what people need; empathy ingrown
To stare into transmutative hearts, from elderly to youth…

Suddenly, your throne volplanes into a graceful ARC
Your view, now curved, a myriad OF sights
THE UNIVERSE so grand, folks pale to smooth and dark
You cry as crisis BENDS what’s good, tears AT every right…

THE journey must proceed; though lachrymose you feel
Another ELBOW OF your trek; celebrate below
For this great place watched JUSTICE rightfully appeal
A moral victory, a beginning, where together, folks will grow…

Did Anything Go Wrong

Until we met the Covid 19
We have never ask ourselves
Did anything go wrong
Until we encountered
The most frightening epidermic
We never know
The longest fight
The hardest to control
Until deaths swept across madly 
We never know 
There are so much uncertainities
But one thing is sure that
We have to fight worldwide
We have to share among us
We have to cooperate eternally
We have to help each other
In the name To Survive

Hunger-A Major Worldwide Problem

Hunger is worldwide; I don't understand why
Trash cans are filled with untouched food
Starvation is real; why must another die?

We can feed the homeless from our food supply;
Or help food banks, it can brighten their mood,
Hunger is worldwide; I don't understand why.

Wasting food is a major issue, we mustn't deny,
We should help if we can and stop being rude
Starvation is real; why must another die?


It's affecting us all; do you hear the earth’s cry?
Not just a “them” problem, I must conclude
Hunger is worldwide; I don't understand why.


We fill our belly with everything that we buy,
And see someone in need and are often shrewd 
Starvation is real; why must another die?


Restaurant plates have a ton of uneaten food; sigh,
Our waste can be a lifeline to the homeless dude. 
Hunger is worldwide; I don’t understand why,
Starvation is real; why must another die?

A Worldwide Peace Jamboree

The world is corrupt, why can't we see
Our time here is limited, tolerance is the key
Too many have have died
Need to live side by side
Let's all join a worldwide peace jamboree

Isolation

I am writing this as vivid as a candlelight dancing in the dark ~
Portraying shadows of my greatest regrets.
There’s a battle going on around the world ~
Even as the sunrise enters and shines inside these walls ~
And through the nights, stars frolicking like ladybugs dancing in silence ~
I, sited in anguish and guilt think that the exclusion of one man ~
From the battlefield could spell victory in our favor ~
And so I cowardly isolate myself into a silent warrior ~
Just as a sniper would ~
Lying flat on his belly, watching from a far distance ~
Less conspicuous to the enemy.
I hope that my dormancy helps us get the upper hand ~
But before I head out on this conquest, know that I had fought a good fight

The Flu That Flew Worldwide

We ponder what will be our fate
As Earth we over-populate.
More industry we generate
And agriculture propogate.
Many species we decimate
As Planet Earth we dominate.
Bigger cities we now create.
In high-rise blocks we concentrate.
Now pathogens grow at a rate
And fly worldwide to dissipate.
We ponder what will be our fate.

Coronavirus Blues

Crazy COVID-19 has us all in a tizzy

Too much information making all of us dizzy

Most who’ve been exposed self-quarantine

Running out of toilet paper making us mean

“Social distancing” is the phrase du jour

Scientists scrambling now to find the cure

Hurry!


(Chorus)

COVID-19 apolitical

Proper testing so critical

Slow response hypocritical

Naysayers hypercritical

Division and strife

Don’t take my life

Give it back!


What started out in China as an epidemic

No respecter of nations totally pandemic

All around the world countries shutting down

Even New York City looks like a ghost town

Is there no end to this viral mess

As our way of life’s forced to evanesce?

Scary!


(Chorus)

COVID-19 apolitical

Proper testing so critical

Slow response hypocritical

Naysayers hypercritical

Division and strife

Don’t take my life

Give it back!

Worldwide Virus Pandemic

There is panic in my country and my city,
places closing like museums and library;
the store shelves are empty but got food for kitty,
next the bank and hope no one wants to marry.

I am ready to stay home and be inspired,
for I have words of poetry to write and share;
of writing, sketching, painting I will not get tired,
I will go for walks and for the sick say a prayer.

There is meditation and yoga and reading,
and I will keep up with the news of the pandemic;
books will fill my heart and soul 'till they are bleeding,
I plan to survive by staying low during this epidemic.

However, wish I knew how to make toilet paper,
more valuable than gold at the moment- maybe greater!

suddenly appear
unsuspecting carriers—
Coronavirus

Worldwide Pollution

Worldwide Pollution 

 

In Nigeria, in Lagos, in lands far away 

The garbage pile’s growing more and more each new day. 

 

The US is known for throwing trash in the road 

The UK comes close with a big garbage load 

 

But lands that are far are must worse than this quote 

India and Asia are at the top of the note 

 

For having no way to throw garbage away 

In Pakistan the children have nowhere to play 

 

In Egypt the pyramids were built for the kings 

Now they are outnumbered by garbage and things 

 

Qatar has a problem, Afghanistan too 

But so does the US, as if nobody knew 

 

Mexico, India, Madagascar is bad! 

What Disney does show us, it’s not, it is sad 

 

The animals live in trash along with the land 

In Haiti there’s practically nowhere to stand 

 

In Russia there are tons of bad toxins and waste 

In China the air is so thick you can taste 

 

The dirt in the air that we all need to breath 

The world is all garbage, let’s all plant a seed 

 

Let’s stop all the nonsense, the garbage, the trash 

Let’s ask man to value the earth not just cash
