"chartered" poems
Off she went all dressed up to meet the guy she swiped left upon. Five feet 10 his profile said but that's where all the lies began! In she walked in her killer heels, eyes wide and bright to look for him. But not a sign of him to see had he stood her up? How dare he! Then at the bar worst for wear she saw his face and balding head. How had he aged so much, so soon from the photos that made her swoon. Well the truth aired and shots were fired, Napoleon's descendant had clearly lied! The CEO of a successful business would be up at 5 for the newspaper deliveries. His holiday home was a caravan, in the **** of Wales where no one went. His hair had gone south long ago and his belly was chasing it now as well. But in all of this, had she lied? Was she 48 or 55? Had those lips been rendered too? With botox and the wrinkles smoothed. At 48 or 55 that dress had some riples inside. The parts Spanx can't control, where age and love handles roll. She stayed they drank. Then drank again and laughed and talked of other things. They danced made shapes for all to see like watching a form of epilepsy. They left at one her shoes in hand, holes in her tights, lipstick smeared upon his cheek and a room to find to seal the deal. Promises made to meet again and drink and dance and meet their friends. Next week he was sat at the very same bar, watching the door for her enterance! She? Oh no, nowhere to be seen. Across the town at another scene. This time an accountant, chartered too! But we all know it isn't true. Fairytale endings nowhere to be seen. Just nights of ****** and living the dream. All in all is this all that they want? Repeating the cycle over again. With another fool in fancy dress? Viewed from the bottom of an empty glass.

We have a small sculpture of Henry James on our terrace in New York City. Nothing would surprise him. The beast in the jungle was what he saw-- Edith Wharton's obfuscating older brother. . . He fled the demons of Manhattan for fear they would devour his inner ones (the ones who wrote the books) & silence the stifled screams of his protagonists. To Europe like a wandering Jew-- WASP that he was-- but with the Jew's outsider's hunger. . . face pressed up to the glass of *** refusing every passion but the passion to write the words grew more & more complex & convoluted until they utterly imprisoned him in their fairytale brambles. Language for me is meant to be a transparency, clear water gleaming under a covered bridge. . . I love his spiritual sister because she snatched clarity from her murky history. Tormented New Yorkers both, but she journeyed to the heart of light-- did he? She took her friends on one last voyage, through the isles of Greece on a yacht chartered with her royalties-- a rich girl proud to be making her own money. The light of the Middle Sea was what she sought. All denizens of this demonic city caught between pitch and black long for the light. But she found it in a few of her books. . . while Henry James discovered what he had probably started with: that beast, that jungle, that solipsistic scream. He did not join her on that final cruise. (He was on his own final cruise). Did he want to? I would wager yes. I look back with love and sorrow at them both-- dear teachers-- but she shines like Miss Liberty to Emma Lazarus' hordes, while he gazes within, always, at his own impenetrable jungle.

They enter the bus Conversing About busses Like this one And other passengers Taking up space Designated for them They do not address us But clearly They are talking about Us Like they sit in the lobby In cheap chartered hotels Taking up space Conversing About other guests Being loud Or obnoxious They do not address us Or ask who we are But clearly They assume And they are talking About us

You never know when your pain only hurts so bad As if it were screaming out loud To get you to pay attention some how About the greatness before If you’re willing to leave the chartered shore Be open to fear, to growth, to pain In these opportunities of change you will rightfully reign As king and captain of your soul Bringing riches, treasures and glory That “comfortable times” aren’t strong enough to teach You define yourself by how you answer the door to Life You develop yourself by how you knock on the door of Life The world is waiting to offer a price on you set too low Filled with can’t and don’t and wont You can raise the price upon your head By robbing Experience of her silver lining In doing so, truly finding How great you are and the change you can make Don’t leave it to Fate – she’s just an excuse To accept poor circumstances rather than create better ones Stand strong – especially when you stand alone Be the lone tree dwarfing fields of grass Don’t give into the world and become another drone Be yourself and have plenty Define yourself and be happy

Dear Self:
**His face is white like chalk, he mulls death as an option, "bleed , bleed my heart, till you are white" pleads his desperation, flying back after loosing her forever, deeply hurt, everything he achieved so young seems now just dirt, in a chartered flight empty except the crew and him no easy route he can think to ease the pain. Through the window, in the bare  blue sky his eyes fall on a lone albatross,   going  down loosing height, gravity pulls one down each moment, rise above the clouds and expect a thunderbolt, then go down like a flight in distress any moment. thinking about her streaming eyes that followed as he left her even without a goodbye, he hears her SOS ringing in mind. Will she ever know what really happened to them? "Our love has been betrayed by the world, we've been taken for a ride by all we did trust, now far away from the hold of reality, this cruel world anymore, doesn't deserve us" The flight has taken to heiger altitude, away from all this enters in to the magnificent city of clouds, without seeking anybody's permission. The skyscrapers in the high street of this opulent place has created new reality to him without her The steeples of cloud cathedrals bring calm, there isn't any going back from this tranquil world. "I wouldn't go back from here, dear captain, look! how well we have fitted in this reality's fold let us not turn back, but land here in the city of clouds, where all flights, of every time, land for ever, never look back. Call the air traffic control, make your voice cheerful even the paths here are covered with cloud carpets, let's save the fuel, fly on the wings of clouds steady towards eternity, that wait for us."**

Designer clothes, glittering cars, A million buck fragrance, Costly drink at the bars, Flying in chartered planes, Your so called stars , Celebs at the parties, Smoking cigars . Oh, you like calling it high society ? Then please do, mister, I can take facts with ease. I've been a slave to it, since so long, I know how ******* high it is. Effin brats of billionaire dads, Acting cool with pricey **** ******* roaming in alluring rags, All slaves like me, of tempting fads.

A glance across a crowded room my eyes transfixed on another From a distance our eyes meet for a moment then continue on there chartered course But...upon my glancing return Exudes a presence of wonder, an aurora of sheer beauty, an understated elegance and sexiness a plenty. That is a Woman!

Tall Ships (A Brief History)
By: Cedric McClester Beyond the Eisenhower context We still have to guard against The military industrial complex Which requires in every respect That our government be checked As we’re forced to question, what is this? It’s reminiscent of Guerin’s book Fascism and Big Business We can clearly see a certain confluence So we must guard against The acquisition of unwarranted influence When surrounded by generals and billionaires It can directly impact how the populous fares Because these are un-chartered waters And didn’t the Nazis claim to be Just following orders In Germany, then a democratic state Neumann said that the Nazi’s sole ambition Was to uproot what existed there Until they could come into position And we need not forget As we look at the current cabinet History frequently repeats itself So we are to blame and no one else When the great leader is surrounded by acolytes Who defend his positions Whether wrong or right It gives us many sleepless nights And the media gets, a thousand sound bites Comprised from their various talking points Out of the mouths of those he anoints Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017.  All rights reserved.

THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
some people see through the guises of death and birth and see the emotional void created ( in ) motherless mother absence. i feel when i walk- in death i walk safe - in life, i like talking walks curious of realms beyond time and space each universe person a beat of drum , a snare, a snake an elephant a human sometimes -- i feel the revolutions swing in motion and leave all past notions in the bin just to search through them to feel again, sometimes the pain is a mess and i kinda like it ( but i don't ) i grow from it and it feeds me lyrically emotional backlog untampered. kept from childhood stance to womanhood chartered flights. to smoke signal nights of cinnamon daytime incense and reveling in universal flows with a jaded partner in 'crime' my friends feel the intangible lines i am glad i walk this path with friends sometimes i just feel that we are not working together as a whole as a fluid aspect of nature through the perspex glass of freedom the free doom promised - there lies beyond fields of wild flowers and untainted mountain spring of green water flows carving streams of minds flow onto blank screen filled in the darkest crevice of my mind i find hope. in people. i find faith in humanity again. and again, in myself if i can, you can, if you can, anyone can, what can we do? now that is a question i'd like to ask. what can we afford to do? what can we afford to not do? (a smile is free) riddle me this, humor me if you will ... what can we do?

Reunion
In my dream the other night Meteors where in flight They streaked across my midnight sky Like fireworks on the 4th of July Forever screaming through space Far above this sad human race As I watched such beauty rain through the heavens The nightingale's song did beckon It brought my attention back to the ground Horrified by what I found Hairless apes that swung down from the trees Are now on bended knees I heard them praying to their Gods They seemed to be at odds I seen them on their bellies crawl Look up to the sky in awe For they feared his wrath They feared his laugh Praying to an unseen entity When mother nature held the remedy I turn my attention back to the star sprinkled sky But even there thing's where starting to go awry The sky was falling into the deepest darkest hole A hole so greedy it refused to even let the light go The world started to spin The hairless apes screamed it was because of the other man's sin Refusing to see sin belongs to each of them Instead they just chartered About the depravity of one another, none of it matter Colors no one had ever seen swirled by It was the most pleasing journey to the eye   As I rode the earth into the void Streaking into the blackness like an asteroid Relishing the thought human nature would soon be destroyed But I fell like a stone Waking up in my bed alone T.V. showing the morning news Terrorist plotting against the Jews Everyone hating on one another Their religion is their cover, trying to use it to smother Them apes are to blind to see That thier imaginary entity Is the original sin Another reason for men to hate men

A Dentist from Weehawken was feeling miserably; Depressed, down in the mouth, you know how that can be. Walt thought salt air would do him good and so he went to sea. He chartered a large fishing boat and paid a hefty fee. They set a course for Georges Bank where clam and cod abound. For centuries this place has been a fertile fishing ground. With bated breath and baited hook, Walter set his line. He’d catch some rays and have some beers and have a real good time. But Fate had other plans for him, things took a darker turn. Those who fish for sport, not food, are beasts as he’d soon learn. A tug upon his line foretold the battle to take place It nearly pulled him from his chair and so began the chase. What monster he had on his line, the dentist didn’t know. He played the creature skillfully as it thrashed to and fro. The massive tuna breached the waves and landed with a splat, It wore coke bottle glasses and a red Greek fishing hat. Walt, the dentist, looked upon his catch and was aghast As “Charlie, the Star-Kist tuna, gasped and breathed his last. The dentist took a “selfie” that was seen the world around. Charlie, the Tuna with good taste, had been brought to ground. “Perhaps I’ll mount him on my wall” Walt said thoughtlessly. Little did he know what this would cost him personally. These days Walt is in hiding in his Northern Jersey town. His patients have all left him and he closed his office down. His car has four slashed tires, there’s graffiti on his walls. He can’t even go on Facebook, he’s been unfriended by them all. So if you are a hunter who wants to **** a hippopotamus, before you shoot be sure to check and see if he's anonymous!

Invested trust, so poorly spent, Even the stars have somehow bent. Crippling doubt, head has a glitch. Agony thrives, heart's on the fritz. Relentless gripe, slow to succumb. Desolate soul, coming undone. Chartered chaos, hanging the noose. Afflicted love, won't cut me loose. Demise of dreams, spoken too soon. You, my love, did not hang the moon.

MOONSTRUCK
Investors need to stop treating stocks as a ‘beauty contest’ and follow the difficult investment style of Keynes, global pension expert Keith Ambachtsheer said. Data produced in a working paper from the Harvard Business Schoolshowed that portfolios built on firms with a good material sustainability rating outperformed those that had a poor rating, an aspect not considered enough by investors who were caught up with quarterly returns, Ambachtsheer said at a Chartered Financial Analyst seminar in Sydney on Monday. “What I see happening out there is largely speculation – what Keynes called ‘beauty contest investing’, where everybody tries to figure out what the most popular stocks are going to be in six months, buys them and when they become really popular sells them,” Ambachtsheer said. He added the implications of this investment style as an aggregate was a zero sum game, whereas investing should be taking savings and turning them into wealth producing capital. “The key thing is you need to look beyond the next quarter; you look at the long-term sustainability of the business model of the corporation, as well as the people behind it in terms of how it is being managed.” The Harvard Business School (HBS) working paper superimposed the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board materiality map (which identifies likely material sustainability issues on an industry-by-industry basis) onto 400 common US stocks identified through sustainability metrics from Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini Research & Analytics. They examined what effect materiality would have over the long-term (starting from the 1980s) and found the top 10 per cent of firms that scored strongly on material sustainability outperformed the bottom 10 per cent, by nine per cent over a rolling twenty-year period. “The practical question is, can you actually manage money this way in the real world? And the answer is yes, but it’s very hard, because you are doing unconventional things,” Ambachtsheer said. Real-world Keynesianism investors – such as Warren Buffett and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan – are in a minority despite outperforming over the long-term. In chapter 12 of his seminal workThe General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, Keynes explained the reason for this was the essence of long-term investors meant their behaviour would be eccentric, unconventional and rash in the eyes of average opinion. “Most organisations can’t function like this,” Ambachtsheer said, as they were too focused on the present.Read more at:www.marieaustralia.com/vintage-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/backless-formal-dresses

Happiness
Somehow you saw that I wake each day as though my purpose is to walk aimlessly with no desire to live. I reject anything that promises security and has the chance of leaving me abandoned because I grow in this cage of in securities that casts a foreboding shadow on any joy that comes my way. You saw but you didn't really know that My insides still scream , I want you to know !! This feeling of 'I hate me' eats me whole, It withers my conscious until its dark deserted leaving me nearly demented. I feel obligated to smile but its in pieces from this constant silent reminder of 'you're too fat too fit in' So my body heaves over toilet seats but its too numb to regurgitate, and leaves me with the gut wrenching realization that my tears are only worth urinals. I see my reflection and it hurts me more, so with each ticking hour I'm broken with more velvet lines chartered on my arms, looking like a surgeons artwork. I die with handfuls of depressants altering my state of being ,invading, because I'd rather be far away. But mostly I lie with hard burning liquor for that instant buzz because its easier to blame a downer for these mad depressing days than to say 'I'm sad'. Maybe now you know But until I break from this mind forged ; two legged, two armed, one headed prison called my body... Falling in love , Being happy , Believing are foreign concepts

love and peace - a riddle not for the faint hearted. and i don't mean your biological one - if i'm still alive and well then it's for a reason - what's yours?
Fleeting expressions culminate in rich tapestries given a chance, you , tripped over my shoe. I , touched your arm We tumbled into conversation , we tumbled out of bed , we tumbled in emotion history unsaid Cultures with the same mind , how we are running the game Tourists who go by the same name a single sigh when words escape our minds Reeling as the waves roll in. In , In, In, The tide is coming out again , we can walk across the quicksands with the chartered marks written by the corrosive tides , i'd whisper this to you , but there is no distance Space but an illusion

Reels and Reels of emotional backlog - this is from April
When common sense prevails And Whitehall gets demolished Once politics has died a death When voting is abolished The world can then recover From an era of attrition But mindful of the wandering Redundant politician For safeguarding the public And ensuring that our nation Is free from slimy bureaucrats With dodgy legislation Is vital for survival So we’d better reemploy them And here are some suggestions As to how we might enjoy them They could bungee jump volcanoes For the National Geographic Or lie down in a busy road To calm the morning traffic We could shave their glossy hair off And turn it into wigs Then pulverise the rest of them For feeding to the pigs If you’ve just made a coffee And spilt a little drop Then grab one by the ankles And Presto! It’s a mop Just roll one over nettles If ever you’re impeded And stand them on the riverbed If stepping stones are needed They’re great for hanging coats on And extinguishing cigars They’re useful safety dummies For testing foreign cars If hollowed out and quilted They make a fetching scarf And quite the conversation piece If pickled, cut in half The list is almost endless And I’ve mentioned fairly few There’s a myriad of ****** jobs To find for them to do But first they should be rounded up A vessel must be chartered To send them to the front line Of the wars they ****** started

Surplus Politicians
How crazy my life is??? At First I loved you Like nothing, You were there all day Running through my mind And I have gone through Trillions of tears Falling from my eye All yearning for You... But You never felt my pain You just ignored The fact that You Love me And said You never gonna love me And then Suddenly one day You disappeared From my lonely life and surprisingly I didn't cry for you Instead I consoled my self That I didn't lose anything In my life, And if there's anyone to lose Because of this, It's none other than But Deep inside my heart I secretly hoped For you to come back to me And finally After two months Of your disappearance You came back to me, I didn't knew What to say or what to do You were completely A changed person, You said that You are coming To see me, Then I felt that You really missed me, You wanted me to choose The colour of your shirt That you are going to wear When you are coming to see me, Then I felt you need me, You asked what I want From you, so that you could buy it And come when you are coming To see me, Then I felt that You really love me This is not so you I knew the person I loved very well He had gone And this same person Who came back Was completely different.... If I were the girl Who loved you crazily I would have cried And might have said Those hurting words "I love you" But Your ignorance have Changed me completely That I don't know What to do That you are here And I don't want To utter those cupid words As I'm not ready For another heart break Because I couldn't find any valid piece Of my heart The first and the last time You chartered and chopped it

Chartered this life from demise I grew to prefer schedules open for celebrations, as well, for funerals in pouring rains or in breezy plains. And I rose occasions to escape oblivion outta daily delights and saved my nerves for coffin wood fragrance and feiry dark grey shades and hid myself in timid strange bubble world. Then I would blare to stay aside by missing to pull together, but to fall apart dodging any greetings, yet fearing goodbyes, like fire-darts, 'coz for everytime a beloved hits the ground, dead cold, it burns a part in me smoking away the reasons we make to live, before we hit!

Ghost in the head
i hate it; i ******* hate the way you hold me in your arms -and make me feel like nothing could ever matter more, and so i sat in the rain for hours until i went numb felt anything but your touch; dancing on the tips of my skin carving courtesies in the pores of my heart and every drop burnt like acid -because the rain was an intruder beginning the tango when i had only ever learnt; the waltz so then my bones chartered swiftly with the violin that was your voice and with the waltz that is this heart

The tango and his waltz.
So many unchartered channels, and coursing currents, in the deepest ravines, or the steepest hills, masked in shadow, drenched with emotion, this is the human heart. The poor explorer, the one who wants to know every nook and cranny, must endure the rain, heat, and cold, the light and dark, he persists, deep into the human heart. That poorest fellow, but by choice he carries on. In every season, in all our misfortune, he persists until every sector, square and quadrant of the vast human hearts expanse, is chartered, and know, leaving nothing to mystery.

The Human Heart
I have loved you in so many ways, In crowds or all alone, When you were sitting beside me and When you were away from my arms, I imagined others watching and enjoying Your glamour in the street with pride, I have watched the sea waves and loved you, I have sat quietly and loved you And counting minutes till chartered Hours where I stand and loved you, And the questions I always wanted to asked, The answer I learnt at love’s expense, I have promised myself, I will not ask where you have been, I will only say hello and hope loving you Has showed me how to accept myself, Meeting you is a relief for My several sever spinal pain, What goes round comes round indeed, How young and eloquent, Gentle and humble, Caring and loving, Respectful and understanding, For you have all the qualities that Qualifies To a higher quantum Quoted for a quality of a loving lady, Keep me by your side as a chick, For we are the march of two beach birds, A pure couple of sparrows in a nest I have loved you and I cannot remain an island forever, Show me your secret loving symbols, For the understanding of your Affectionate shadow next to you, And I will continue to love. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]
