Just cos you've got so much money
Too much of all everyone is wanting
You order things to come and go
Determine if things go fast or slow
You're already neck deep sunk in misperception and disillusion
Reality check
Life is just giving you a *******
But when her deed is done
I mean after the ******
Life is going to slap you 'welcome to reality'

Not-withstanding your place in life
You must play fair and nice
Giving a little love and respect won't hurt
A hand to the helpless lot
Let down your pride and let go your ego
They both lead where you don't want to go.

Humility in the heart wealth
Modesty in the midst of affluence
Is by far a much better life's romance

Perusing through my thoughts
Such a herculean work
I stumbled on the need to grow
Yes grow, but how? Another stumbling block.

Searching through the pages of time
Yet uncertain what I find
This mountain is for the clime
This mountain of piled thoughts over time

Confined to this cushioned couch
Couch of sham comfort
Never felt so comfy and proud
Thus the alteration in my comport.

I have flown
Yes call me a clown
But I know I've flown
Dreams were the wings
So cute a pair they set you so height flying.

I am looking for myself
Though there in the Mirror
All I see is a mess
But I'm en route the redress.

Find yourself first
And you have found all else.

Satan in serpent's guise
Oh the fruit was cute and nice
If only, oh if only
If only I knew your words were as split as your tongue
I certainly wouldn't have chosen wrong
If only I knew I stood were you envy
I would've shushed you plainly
If only, oh if only
But the fruit was cute and nice
And I was so naive, I fell for my eyes
From the forbidden beauty I had my bite
The bite was beautiful, the fall was mine
Mine mine mine and only mine
Now standing a beauty lost in the mist of fleshly follies
Hard as u struggle to break free
The entanglement still holds me
Beauty reduced to ashes
Now only seen in the distant flashing
I am pulling my baggage of sin

Three wives or at least two
But I'm one of the few
The few that believes in monogamy
So I'm sticking to my marriage with poetry

Yes, I admit to a couple of affairs with words
But that's a crime my wife can easily wave go
Like Sarah having her maid wooed
Though desecrating to her matrimonial room.

Make it rain all day
Rain poems that makes heart stay sane
Pain and bitterness interwoven into poetry
Yes sad but the joy therein comes after the read.

Let there be a deluge
So much without a place for refuge
Let the poetic flood wash away pollutants of this awesome world
Let the poetic purification begin now.

I pledge to transformational poetry
I write this insane world back into sanity
Recreating my own space
Letting my pen and mind decide the pace.

Peace out of chaos
Addicted criminal gone pious
I call that "Poetic magic"

If I had a mom
I will, on this day, write her a poem
But she is been long gone
Suffice it to say, in the stock of moms
She is certainly the best of them all.

My first song
And my first love
My first breath
And my first step

When the world disappeared
She was the one that was there
When everyone was gone
She was the one that said "no need to be alone"

If the world were a gift store
A mother is the best thing in stock
The gift of a mother
Is like being given the whole of Hawaii in a gift wrapper.

Though my mom is gone
This is my most happy poem
So if you still have a mom
Do your most to show her love
The value of what you have is best known when it is gone.

My late mom and the moms in the world
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY with much love.

War
Soldiers sown in the field
And bodies usually are the yield
Bodies of strangers, friends and colleagues
Leaving survivors with long lonely monologues
Rendering life without taste or feel

  In this clash of elephants
The casualties include animals, civilians, even infants.
That is to say but the least.
Vultures gather in circles to feast
On the remains of once beautiful living beings.

  Where then is the profit of war?
When rebuilding cost so much more
Both humanly and materially.

She wants me to love her
Give my attention to her
Like a queen, treat her

I cannot do that
Not because it is not what I want
But because I lack the capacity to do that

If I had a heart
I will glut her with more than she asks
If I had a heart she will be the rhythm of my heart's dance.

How can I love you
When you already have my heart
How can I give you attention
When you have my clock
How can I treat you like a queen
When you have taken over my throne

Simply put
I love you helplessly.
My heart and time is with thee
Just do with it as you please.
