"entertainers" poems
We, the people of this country, in your eyes are: babblers, bachelors, bafflers, baiters, barkers, beakers, beaters, brawlers, blamers, beggars, bloaters, bloopers, bombers, boozers, blunders, bruisers, bafflers, bluffers, burglars and burners. That's why you feel compelled to keep your foot on our heads keep us down, put us down, push us down subjugate us, belittle us, berate us. We, the people of this country, in our eyes are: butlers, bouncers, bakers, buyers, barbers, cake-makers, delivery-takers, cocktail-shakers, taxi drivers, cancer survivors, employers and hirers, music makers, entertainers, window washers, foster takers, plasterers, carpenters, scaffolders, sparks and builders, boxers, carers, coaches, tailors, shoe makers, designers, illustrators, multi-language facilitators, dog walkers, dog trainers, bikers and cycle couriers, doctors and nurses and all the emergency services. We are the People, the reason you are where you are now you sometimes forget that we exist as people, somehow locked in your ivory towers with gold plated showers and MP expenses and investment banker pretenses this is not theater, its real life drama, its not just a bluff its time to stand up and say enough is enough.

Another Angry Voice
So as fate would have it they would have it they would take us from our borders They brought us in as slaves so that we could toil for the hoarders They put chains on our wrists til we rose our fists No longer would this pain make our children slit their wrists Times have changed but some things stayed the same Some walk around unaware that they’re just wearing a different chain We became the entertainers, we became the “ballers” While our slavemasters became the businessman, still the shot callers Just a monkey with a ball, On the rise it seems, but still we fall What more can we be? Can our eyes still see? Cause when I look at my people in the eyes I see souls that are satisfied I see souls that have been pacified Dreams once in the air but now on the ground Look around my people, see who wears the crown Cause our people continue to die and no one makes a sound Can you say their names? Can you feel the pains? Can you feel the agony of a hundred thousand black souls lost for America’s gain? Will you stand and fight? Cause a Black America United oh what a sight! Imagine the might! That we would wield? With a fire in our hearts that could bend steel Only then could our 200 year old wounds heal Only then could we appeal and be apart of this nation under God.

You think you ugly. And you're far from it. You feel you're ugly. And you not near to it. Celebrities and entertainers feel this way. And many have pay greatly to attract good looks their way. You compare yourself to models. Who is only superficial at best? Cause probably without makeup. They themselves are a hot mess. We know many has aa insecurity complex. Even us, who isn't famous? For some reasons join their rank. Instead of believing we are beautiful in many ways. Instead we live behind a insecurity complex. If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Then you yourself must see yourself ,as magnificently gorgeous.

Pets (Paradelle & Marian's #2 Challenge)
*Please tell me what it's all about? I’ve never felt so insecure So much confusion trying to blind me I remember my foundation is sure And that’s when I open my eyes I focus, then I realize We’re headed towards the paradise so I remember the promises I’ve come to know and the reality of what’s been told, He cannot lie to us He makes His name known to everyone Then He causes to become He causes to become Could you imagine peace? Peace of mind within your thoughts? Peace inside your heart Peace within the animal kingdom? An earth with no borders Humanity with freedom It’s coming He cannot lie to us He makes His name known to everyone Then He causes to become Oh yes He causes to become No more rich dictators No more wealthy entertainers Only beauty will surround us Because happiness has found us Watch closely this system’s going down We can’t wait! No more wars to hurt the masses No more famine crisis No more poor or middle classes He cannot lie to us He makes His name known to everyone Then He causes to become Oh yes He causes to become* (Hebrews 6:18 : "So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable, because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us")

Jehovah
Peace! God’s Peace upon you all! The Bishop blessed The dyed-young congregation: dyed fathers ‘n mothers, Grandpas ‘n grannies, great-grandpas and great-grannies. The demons of decadence--Hair dye, ****** and Spirits – Chuckled and giggled, crouching well under the pulpit. Dyed gurus ‘n financiers, dyed lawyers, doctors n’ nurses, ****** entrepreneurs and ****** entertainers, dyed judges Dyed ‘n spirited evangelists, priests and vergers on ****** Peace be upon thee all! Blessed the Bishop from the pulpit. Now, the demons in the hiding iterated and reiterated it. A Sunday spirited chat—all smiles! -- in the church portico: The Viagra-dyed banker in later life smiled a dyed smile At the elderly dyed mother of three; and she said: they say, In spite of my age, you know, I look so young and pretty! And the thick flanks under her chin jiggled in approbation. The ****** great-grandpa said to the dyed Justice of spirits: Milord, they say: “The stuff brings cancer;” Fools! Idiots! “The gloves—the condom-like device—that’s our safety!” “Milord! This trinity wizard, they bring a million crores To the exchequer of this famished democracy, milord!” “Milord! The nature lovers say, we wash billions of bottles Of these magic stuffs into their rivers and the seas, milord!” “They say we all-- dyed ****** men-- are sissies and doofuses!” “Milord! Our tubby women dye young, lest they’d be labelled Mammy, Granny, Grandma, Old Granny, the decrepit ‘n that! Now, the dyed media reported: father mated with his daughter, Mother with a teenager, grandpa with an infant; and Ministers, MLAs, MPs—all spirits-Viagra-dyed-- are in a ******* spree! Now the Dark Trinity cried “Wow! In this world of ****** The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory--all are ours! Amen!

It’s inherent, a ritual passed through ages, fashions change but the outcomes the same. We make ourselves desirable, attractive. We plump out our manes and puff our collars, rouge our cheeks and lips, blood pumping to all our organs. It’s our tribal wear. We soak up sweet alcoholic nectar, loosening our inhibitions and bringing out our inner basic urges.

 We hit a club called the watering hole, gorillas on the door filtering out the runts. My paws stick to the floor and the walls drip with sweat. The disco lights burn down on me with a heat like the desert. You can’t move without making eye contact with someone. Single men lean against the walls, and lurk in the shallows like alligators. Waiting for a young philly to wonder past a little worse for wear. Snap. Men dance with their tops off, sweat making their skin glisten like a serpent. The first thing you have to do is get to the bar, its packed and the bodies push against you as all trying to get to the front. The first few drinks numb you and make you confident, you begin to be seduced by the music and dance floor. The air is humid and the smell of smoke has faded away, just leaving the smell of body odour coming from the hippo taking up most of the dance floor. The main smell overpowering all this is *** pure unfiltered *** the place reeks of it. This place is a meat market, but there’s all kinds of animal on show. You’ve got your flamingos who stand there beautiful, looked at but not touch, you’ve also got your warthogs content rolling in their filth,  you’ve got your grizzly bears sniffing out the honey. Me I’m a hyena, (laugh) a pack animal, we hunt in small groups, dotted around the stage, causing mischief among the herd, we’re jokers, entertainers, it might all look like a laugh but cross one of us and feel our bite which is certainly worse than our bark. There’s one though, he’s a lion, king of the beasts, everything else is just meat, he locks onto his target, he stealthy crosses the dance floor to prey on it, there’s plenty of meat around but that’s the one he wants, it’s a game, we lock eyes, I can’t move, it’s survival of the species, and he’s top of the food chain. Once he has me he takes his fill and leaves me to the vultures. I lick my wounds to start again. And then I realise the hunter has become the hunted.

A warm glow radiates through the bones that are usually filled with aches and groans as I pass my place of birth. The street screams my name by day and whispers it softly when light has gone away smell the air, smell the warmth rising from the earth. The street entertainers of Portobello road the cool saxophone, the sweet notes blown the sound of a thousand footsteps. The jugglers, magicians and the market stands balancing, conjuring and selling their brands the warm breeze scatter their scent. Watch out for vagabonds and confidence tricks souvenir shops serving countless tourists the sound of a thousand tills ringing. Eat in any language, speak in any tongue dream of hustle and bustle and days long gone still you can hear the street singing. From Pembridge Road to Westbourne Grove these streets tell me that I am home they call me, repel me, thrill and destroy me. This land that did bear me keeps willing me back to walk it's streets and follow it's tracks this land is the place I must be... If I die, think only this of me, through every pane of glass, behind every windowsill there will always be a place called Notting Hill.

Breathe
Let a poem seep into your mind Let a poem absorb into your conscience, subconscious, and soul Let the craftsmanship of words take you to another world Do not be afraid to read Do not be afraid to write We are all poets. We are all entertainers and audience members Entertain the thought that poetry is more than a word it's a feeling it's an emotion it's a way of life Entertain a Poem : let a Poem Entertain you.

Entertain a Poem
I am this marble statue wait take me to the Pantheon let me there and give me breath movement like the fluid aqueducts. Bathe with me when no one's looking-- we'll escape those gladiators but gladiators had no choice either you see They were just people stripped of their pale, blue skin, and now they're entertainers battling the gout, aurora mirth of a Leo a fierce, unforgiving Leo-- and then the aqueducts run dry. So you can't bathe with me everybody's watching now Save me from this crackling boiling blistering mask; I don't want to be a statue Fleeing from the pantheon

non sum fortis
As I stumble through this life, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more cheer than gloom, spread more cheer than despair. Never let me become so indifferent, that I will fail to see the wonders in the eyes of a child, or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged. Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people, make them happy, and forget momentarily, all the unpleasantness in their lives. And in my final moment, may I hear You whisper: "When you made My people smile, you made Me smile."

Entertainers Prayer
a bean or a pod having motivation inside recreating life more energetic and clever than any parent then get ate or flushed down ten million toilets infiltrate society with words because it is in sewers sanguine and quixotic indifferent a breath is toxic to me I venture Walter Mitty like fantasies theorize tomorrow when I forgot yesterday, introduce substances to discourse entertainers abstract the emphasis transcendentally blue-sky enterprises authentically created as I turn around and cry.

Dreams of entertainment Full of amazement and surprises Take a back seat Beauty and the Beast We are a standalone being our feast The music being for us both Together we took an oath A Teapot and cup and saucers are the ones who know We will carry the show Just follow the flow Song and dance and perhaps a sketch You the audience will have to catch Creating the right effect We don’t want the audience to reject We will not be mean only lean You won’t see much of a pour Only our total performing galore Our story our very own and it will be full blown Teapot became a theory Cup and Saucers a mystery We were always sitting on a shelf or convent Barely used or not used at all We were considered a prop I always had to accept like it or not It was simply “NOT” Disney thought they had it right We took it as a plight We were determined to show our talent We refused to be silent When the curtain rose and the spotlight was on First the teapot went through the audience and asked, “Do you want some tea?” The audience didn’t know exactly in how to respond other than laugh The music started and that’s entertainment Then the cup and saucers with their enchanting voices stating we are Cup and Saucers best You are our guest But we have only one request, “Don’t expect us to serve” We are entertainment and that is what you deserve Let’s go back into Teapot and cup and saucers time On the table a teapot and cup and saucers that was always there Alone with barely a touch That doesn’t sound much The table of beauty being a setting and we were decorative Being objective There was a party and the Teapot and Cup and Saucers were the highlight Ready to fulfill At will Determined There was some pour and detail But without fail Beautiful friendship Pleasure to be your acquaintance Music still playing enchanted The stage is now full of dancers Flashing lights Teapot and Cup and Saucers dancing in delight We shall dance Suddenly the beast appeared being angry and upset The duo of Teapot and cup and saucers had an effect The question came up from the beast in why he wasn’t invited? The response, Teapots and cup and saucers are the entertainers and you are only the prop when needed It was on with the show We put the beast finally in the know The finale being an encore, the teapot and cup and saucers together a team The audience stood up and applauded and the curtain came down It was a teapot and cup and saucers with a pouring spirit You have to give them merit That’s entertainment the way it was meant to be Encore

TEAPOT AND CUP AND SAUCERS ENTERPRISE
Dreams of entertainment Full of amazement and surprises Take a back seat Beauty and the Beast We are a standalone being our feast The music being for us both Together we took an oath A Teapot and cup and saucers are the ones who know We will carry the show Just follow the flow Song and dance and perhaps a sketch You the audience will have to catch Creating the right effect We don’t want the audience to reject We will not be mean only lean You won’t see much of a pour Only our total performing galore Our story our very own and it will be full blown Teapot became a theory Cup and Saucers a mystery We were always sitting on a shelf or convent Barely used or not used at all We were considered a prop I always had to accept like it or not It was simply “NOT” Disney thought they had it right We took it as a plight We were determined to show our talent We refused to be silent When the curtain rose and the spotlight was on First the teapot went through the audience and asked, “Do you want some tea?” The audience didn’t know exactly in how to respond other than laugh The music started and that’s entertainment Then the cup and saucers with their enchanting voices stating we are Cup and Saucers best You are our guest But we have only one request, “Don’t expect us to serve” We are entertainment and that is what you deserve Let’s go back into Teapot and cup and saucers time On the table a teapot and cup and saucers that was always there Alone with barely a touch That doesn’t sound much The table of beauty being a setting and we were decorative Being objective There was a party and the Teapot and Cup and Saucers were the highlight Ready to fulfill At will Determined There was some pour and detail But without fail Beautiful friendship Pleasure to be your acquaintance Music still playing enchanted The stage is now full of dancers Flashing lights Teapot and Cup and Saucers dancing in delight We shall dance Suddenly the beast appeared being angry and upset The duo of Teapot and cup and saucers had an effect The question came up from the beast in why he wasn’t invited?

The common cough potato will sit, laugh, and enjoy, these bizarre recreations of life in Illinois. Springfield sprung inspiration for two who followed suit. The Colorado duo made a worthy substitute. But from yellow men to paper dolls most just sit and chuckle. Yet many fail to notice that its our world that they muckle. In addition to your laughter the writers hope for thought. They are not just entertainers, but artists quite distraught. So while we laugh at Jew jokes and George Burns makes more dough, examine what's important and let the artist's message grow.

Shaman's see visions of heinous onslaught, No pormonteaus of buried boon!!! Priests and rabbis lick thine clothe, Ebbing closer to emptied rooms!!! Young girls and boys burlesque in their costumes, Mother and father do buck, Living in hell in thine own living room, Fast lives, cars and trucks! Aphrodisiacs they put in their vein, Tears dry the carpets, Entertainers dance in thy rain, Moribund, still a lonesome carcass!!! Covetednous, they've made as their gods, Fast foods, no life, Intimance gone!!!! A band to wear with crested jewels, Yet what art they with no meaning? Say thy affiance all that thou wilt, Still stuck in the land of the dreaming!!!! Mutagens and fabricators to selves, Clouds come with no pour down, The poor line the street for the corner spells, Doeth you giveth them love? Or throw them in cells? Devotee to Christ, Hath thou given advice? Yet still taketh not thy own? Your bloods spilt to the mass of drules, Still dont want to be alone!!! Trammels your in, In trammels you'll sin, In trammels you will die or awake once again!!!!

Old School By joeysguy I remember lessons from the old school It was a code an unwritten rule As a male I would get to my feet To give the elderly or a woman the seat When taking a girl out for a day As the guy I would always pay Music was understood and had meaning A lot of songs today sounds like screaming Entertainers wore costumes or dressed in clothes Today so much body they expose You didn’t always have to lock doors No fences had to protect stores As a young kid I played outside Strangers didn’t bother us, we didn’t have to hide We would hangout till late hours of night When older we hung out even till daylight Women could sit outside late and talk It was safe to take a late night walk Any time was safe to go stroll in the park Try doing that now in the dark People now wear pants down almost to the knees It’s ugly, pick them up please What happened to those good old days Time passes and kids go through a craze

Old School
I believe that I hold quite the odd point of view A skewed portrait that depicts economic conspiracy Religious beliefs are delightfully delirious To seek inner peace by a supernatural relief Entertainers and politicians are elite due to masses of followers Society's slaves to the system hustling for dollars Only to pay their leaders

Forgive me if I seemed brusque at the airport, these churches to farewell are not where I choose to worship and saying goodbye is like sheathing a sword, the danger is not over until it’s out of sight. You’re an introspective man, covert with your passion, but I suspect you were as glad to see us as we were to see you. It’s been said that you are a perfect foil to my extroversion, we are a sort of Laurel and Hardy of the emotional spectrum. One of the perils of transience is the absence of solid friendship so that we sometimes become like wings without a body. Having a friend arrive on our doorstep is to find something we did not realise we had lost. A holidaymaker is as bright in the workaday world as a mint coin on sunlit concrete so that our biggest concern was to polish your days to the consistency of your previous excitement. We are rusty entertainers at best. One of life’s more pleasant surprises is that we never know how or where we will forge a friendship. Friendships forged in the workplace can be the most enduring because there is no mandate to like our workmates. For a few, too short days you brought back for me all that was good about my life in Auckland and I can ask a friend for no greater gift than to reflect a little sunlight.

LETTER TO WAYNE
Entertainers go out on stage and howl For people People think they own the music The music is for all. Get lost in a created sound One word makes you disappear from Reality, Native Americans Symbolize animal life The nature of the gods creations Billions upon billions Of worlds Majestic world's Don't fall to the evil. Evil is explored Death is not the end We live on. They're screaming ghost of the world Dancing,smoking, Fucking.....a very strange life 3-915

The strongest man is just immature. More versatile than the much real work, we operate machines, so whatever really. But the chillest part is, too few women in their crop-tops, their bandeau's, their strips of cloth- are death-defyingly wild. And far more cutting than a bullet can ever be. We never press the surface; you have a beautiful aroma as wood in a forest. Help. I know I'm stronger than that. We are all entertainers and audience members I am an anarchist One, please, do it with me…

1 just watched the news my morning ritual 2 today’s news, as I saw it (today and this week) as I heard them all interviewees them politicians, men of God, holy ones and pure ones organizers and statesmen and entertainers and various personalities, they all used sincerity terms: “….to be honest,” one said…”to be frank…,” said another And yet another: “I’ll be frank with you….” “Well, frankly speaking,” declared one eminent person… You wish the interviewer would interrupt and say: “You mean you haven’t been honest till now?” 3 and yet, frankly speaking, that’s not news; that’s old wearied news for I’ve heard that from 1960’s since I started watching interviewees, to be honest

to be honest with you
inside her mind, It was dizzying, that, she couldn't deny, Each note seemed to push her further inside, No one can resist the nostalgia of a carnival ride, But there was something eerie about this place, None of the entertainers carried a happy face, The clowns seemed depressed, the ringmaster disgraced, Even the lion endlessly paced, The ground began to tremble ever so slightly, The gates slammed shut, as they had to nightly, Trapped in the neon jungle, she held her breath tightly, It was hard to think with the sky lit so brightly, The music grew closer and then faded out, The sound of the silence was drowned by a shout, "Welcome, my dear," she heard something pout, 'What the hell happened? What's this all about?'
