Equality

through generations---
clan patronized eldest son
till women claimed rights

Frenzy Mode

This crazed boss pushes his ole luck
Mind's frenzy ticking like a clock;
As gut's livewire wants to explode
Rush of cusses now I shall load.

My pay is a low miser’s bag
While hard job has a large tag--
Stingy, lazy boss, he’ll remain
And there's nothing left to gain.

He jeers as overtime strays late
Keeping me on my desk, ingrate!
My turn for revenge, I will leave
All projects crushed, now DIE and GRIEVE!

A Place In the Sun

On occasion, I saw a tiny light from above
but it was masked by depression’s glove,
and the hands that were lovingly stretched out 
were pushed away and messed all about.

But one trying day the sunbeam found me
and showed in a vision all I could be,
expressing if I wanted that prophecy to come true
there were some things that I needed do.

That round blink didn’t have a gloomy glow
as it guided me to a Savior in-the-know;
we talked over all my blues and greys
finally I could see through my angst's trace.

River of Summer

River of summer, how long it gurgled on
To last in your beauty, crystal and veiled---
How innocent of us , we never dreamed.

New Year's Resolution

lazing beneath stars
most day's work becomes undone--
a New Year's same wish

More Cheers

Your welcome smiles are tuned on,
Filled with grace, when poem is done
Who can defy this happy spell?
Into the hours, you say it's quite well! 

Busy to write, I'll try this day
Those smiles carry me far away
When work replaces a bad grin,
Trapped by deadlines to my chagrin.

Let's taste the cheers, forget my boss;
Sing a song in happy chorus;
Life can bring new friends with your voice ;
So keep the music, we rejoice.



Thank you to the Welcome Committee

Tyranny

I reach down, my hand brushing the soil,
The dead earth now charred and barren, decayed -
All that we have touched is now grains in my palm,
A madness that stems from a despotic rule.
Our own fervour about  almighty justice nailed.
Is a fierce rush of revenge and power.
Is this how we are meant to be?
Tyrants of the world, embittered in lunacy.

Silver Flakes

silver flakes- virgin clear rap on pines gleaming mild like white beams- angel wings as snow drifts kids’ eyes roll till they sleep Charlieku 3-3-3, A Charles Messina Contest Dec 27, 2018

Affctionately

Dipped sunset reflects
moon's prism on the sea -
two hearts  brighten

can darkness disguise
this love-light's fragrance?

Response To Potpourri

Staring at her hips, my tie flips
As a button drops  through my neck--
What a mess; but she did confess
I was grinning sans ego’s flair!

Qoute # 2 : ‘The burden of the self is lightened
with  I laugh at myself.”
