The Bankers pledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barriers built we’re safely behind
What makes you think we’re worth support
That they are for sure the master race
The cash they grant hand over hand
Has limits to it , and that’s a fact.

Have they ever taken their pound of flesh
Do you think you can expend so much cash?
They are taking plans to now enslave you.
Take that plastic card they offer you today
Choose a number and now go out to play.

The maze that you are in , it grows and grows.
And you don’t see just how out of control
The numbers grow with little hope of paying
You are a prisoner of this awful nightmare
No solution offered except another poem?

Cautionary note on debt.

Loving correspondence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My dear I start not knowing what to say
As I sit here thinking a thinking every day
My poems oft’ fall to deaf ears daily
A waste of good time people tell me.

I feel from time to time , not often
Sometimes the rhyme exceeds perfection
Then worth the wait like mazes entered
Or fun from someone’s beach house rented.

I just let the fingers type the message.
Of what comes forth both good n plenty
The prose or grammar it won’t matter
It’s from the heart , not silly chatter.

It did my heart good with your missive
My treasure chest ,the top ,you’ve lifted
See now the rays of sun-beams glowing
From the roof tops , let us both be crowing.

The Thousandth man accused of crimes
Of broadcasting such amazing rhymes
Lies or deceit the untrue allegations
My resolve is strengthening day by day.

Though hard it is to gain approval.
Of one’s peers or social equals.
Princes, paupers, pals or pansies
Whatever person takes your fancy.

Though few persons need to sing my praises
I am your loving  Poet n I’m not crazy.
Craving only some slight recognition
To feed my thirst for your satisfaction.

So thank you Darling for your kind praise.
You lift up my heart both day on day.
Inspiring the best rhymes in me
To impress you with my poetry.

Fact of life .Understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are to seek true understanding
The main task that you have to undertake
Now crystal clear,set before your very eyes
Though it’s disguised in many shades of grey.

Prove to be a comfort to your fellow man.
Then be sure to be unselfish at all costs
The life long mission is in the loving healing
Never once let that sacred healing be lost.

You must have understanding
Oliver Philip Dec 2018
Respect
~~~~~~
With respect for any stranger
Deserving a tolerant review
The depths of one’s emotions
Held close by someone new
A ***** friend’s comparison
With critique both bad and good
Can tolerate a daggers ******
Or a mood of sweet content.

Notes from the facts of life.
Oliver Philip Dec 2018
A Poets quest.
An ABCDERIAN poetry form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Avant couriers of final solutions
Battalions left fighting by the way
Condescending world powers twittering
Deeming all they say as gospel of the day
Everything under the sun or darkest shadows
Foolishly not admitting their own failings ever
Gathering hatred at each turn of every corner
Happy that their heads were in the sand.
Indiscriminating constant betwixt good n evil

Janissary exterminates all cause or principal
Knowing nothing of the true skill of judgement
Lasciviously take good from good for no good
Microlithic walls of stones to cover errors
Navigatiors using ancient charts for guidance
Outrageously heralding credit for the route
Perchance they knew no natural pathway
Quadrature at ninety between the sun n moon
Revived old Christian scruples long forgotten

Saviours ? Save all states from self destruction
Tablature of a tragic outcome hard to face.
Unequivocally tough on any creed or religion
Vededictory taken two thousand years to build
Wrapped indiscriminately up in just one missile
Xenelas now mankind from each world corner
Yea from peaceful pastures grazed for years
Zion heaping up evangelical dogma.
              Pray to God and let us learn.

Nothing
Limerick
~~~~~~
So get me to post nothing every day
Unusual for me and by the way.
Are you a poet ?
And do you know it ?
I got little in return yesterday.
