In it for the money
*Would that unhinged mind have thought differently about it trying this...* *Would that every school had a precinct directly across the street?* *Would that be so hard to create, or support, to finance?* * Transfiguration *

Where, oh where has this money been? It's been up to London to buy me a woman. When you'd had your pleasure, what else did you there? Took in a live show, some sights to enjoy. When you had seen, what did you then? Went home to the wife, a yarn to spin. Did you not waste such hard-earned cash? I need the excitement, the seedy thrill. Where, oh where has this money been? Changed hands in a back street for needle and syringe. What was then done to inject some feeling? A little ****** just to keep me going. But what about AIDS and *** It's one of those things that won't happen to me. How do you finance such expensive tastes? Sell stuff to kids at the going rate. Where, oh where has this money been? It bought me a meal and a little something to drink. How did you earn this financial gain? Begged it off some geezer down the Embankment. Why are you out here sleeping so rough? It's a long tale of women, gambling and drink. What of these others with whom you share this door? Just poor bleeding kids with no ******* jobs. Where, oh where has this money been? It bought me a contract with a few back handers. And who did you bribe for their deceit? Oh, it wasn't bribery, just a little commercial grease. What will you build to make your mark? Another block of flats, fully air-conditioned. On what in the past is your empire built? Prostitution, gambling, and a few tons of drugs.

***** Money
Last nite I dreamed of T.S. Eliot welcoming me to the land of dream Sofas couches fog in England Tea in his digs Chelsea rainbows curtains on his windows, fog seeping in the chimney but a nice warm house and an incredibly sweet hooknosed Eliot he loved me, put me up, gave me a couch to sleep on, conversed kindly, took me serious asked my opinion on Mayakovsky I read him Corso Creeley Kerouac advised Burroughs Olson Huncke the bearded lady in the Zoo, the intelligent puma in Mexico City 6 chorus boys from Zanzibar who chanted in wornout polygot Swahili, and the rippling rythyms of Ma Rainey and Vachel Lindsay. On the Isle of the Queen we had a long evening's conversation Then he tucked me in my long red underwear under a silken blanket by the fire on the sofa gave me English Hottie and went off sadly to his bed, Saying ah Ginsberg I am glad to have met a fine young man like you. At last, I woke ashamed of myself. Is he that good and kind? Am I that great? What's my motive dreaming his manna? What English Department would that impress? What failure to be perfect prophet's made up here? I dream of my kindness to T.S. Eliot wanting to be a historical poet and share in his finance of Imagery- overambitious dream of eccentric boy. God forbid my evil dreams come true. Last nite I dreamed of Allen Ginsberg. T.S. Eliot would've been ashamed of me.

Skirts Lengths and The Stock Market (Analogy, Metaphor Poem)
Who controls our banking? Ruinous fees for money lending. Who questions their investing? Why so dear for money dealing? Who does profit from accounting? Our finances they're controlling, While our economy they're ruining, They're amassing fortunes pecuniary, Big business for them, commercially. Let's question their accountability For our faceless Australian economy, Profits overseas they're sending--- So much for Australian banking!!!

THE KNIGHT IN THE PANTHER’S SKIN ***** Rustaveli (c. 1160-1250), often called simply Rustaveli, was a Georgian poet who is generally considered to be the preeminent poet of the Georgian Golden Age. “The Knight in the Panther's Skin” or “The Man in the Panther’s Skin” is considered to be Georgia’s national epic poem and until the 20th century it was part of every Georgian bride’s dowry. It is believed that Rustaveli served Queen Tamar as a treasurer or finance minister and that he may have traveled widely and been involved in military campaigns. Little else is known about his life except through folk tradition and legend. The Knight in the Panther's Skin by ***** Rustaveli loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch excerpts from the PROLOGUE I sing of the lion whose image adorns the lances, shields and swords of our Queen of Queens: Tamar, the ruby-throated and ebon-haired. How dare I not sing Her Excellency’s manifold praises when those who attend her must bring her the sweets she craves? My tears flow profusely like blood as I extol our Queen Tamar, whose praises I sing in these not ill-chosen words. For ink I have employed jet-black lakes and for a pen, a flexible reed. Whoever hears will have his heart pierced by the sharpest spears! She bade me laud her in stately, sweet-sounding verses, to praise her eyebrows, her hair, her lips and her teeth: those rubies and crystals arrayed in bright, even ranks! A leaden anvil can shatter even the strongest stone. Kindle my mind and tongue! Fill me with skill and eloquence! Aid my understanding for this composition! Thus Tariel will be tenderly remembered, one of three star-like heroes who always remained faithful. Come, let us mourn Tariel with undrying tears because we are men born under similar stars. I, Rustaveli, whose heart has been pierced through by many sorrows, have threaded this tale like a necklace of pearls.

********* of the year
Growing up my parents were always selfish. They'd rather subsidize tasteful cars than their own child's education so they could prove worthy of societal thinking. They'd rather finance love through glamorous things instead of investing in actual intimacy. Maybe if loneliness wasn't my parental figure then this existential adult life wouldn't be spent in monotonous cognitive states

The last time I saw you We were trying to blend orange into green In a huge painting for a fund raising auction. Surprisingly, I see you again in yet another colorful adventure, In a dark room with bright blinking lights where We gave 80's dance moves to pop rock songs. Then we plunged into the night and let Our laughter and high pitched voices pierce the chilly air. We balanced our books as we hurriedly jaywalked Through the 10 pm traffic jam. Though the ads in the mall were right at our faces, You pulled me to a big blue aquarium To marvel at the goldfish and guppies Staring at our shiny eyes the same way. We tried to understand the math On how our corals cost 3 times more than the States Even if we have 20 times more species than them. We couldn't, but we swore to each other we'd stop it. And as we shared a glass Of too much ice and no more tea We fought back passion filled tears When we told each other story after story Of our government's inadequacies. We argued, but finally agreed that It's not over population, it's urban planning; It's not poverty, it's inequality; They're not imbeciles, just ignorant; And our nation maybe unfortunate, But our trust is not in fortune, but in grace. Then as we bid each other goodbye, Unsure of when will we even meet again, I prayed to God that If our school chaplain becomes the president I'd like him to appoint you and me as the environment and finance secretaries. I thanked Him too because Now for the first time in my life, I'm not ashamed, I'm not embarrassed but I'm happy To be a geek Because you are with me.

Came out and Explained casually, Your daddy is the Head, And he becomes 'President'... Who has to give formal approvals, To what is sort from 'The Parliament', He also gives approval for the budget presented, And be guest of Honor at various public events, He gets to speak few times a year, And he is still the 'formal approver'... I manage few portfolios, Prime ministry and Home ministry, At times I have Finance ministry too, Defence ministry too mostly stays with me, I am the 2/3 rd majority, I decide how to run 'The House'!! And most times I have solid 'Opposition' too, The leader of Opposition (LoP) is very strong, She being your grand mother, Is also the head of oldest party in the house. Her party has now lost and so she is in opposition, Disputing every new law I, the PM try to bring. She is Old Monk with a Gin, But with her experience and wisdom, I the PM, is always trimmed !!

A double entendre, Two ladies of the night, killed on the Sabbath day, 30/08/1888, Was an unlucky day for lady Liz, A drinking wild cat 'Long Liz Stride', Was the first lady of two to meet her end on this most vile night! Five feet five, when was alive, Had grey eyes and a curly mop, Her vicious murderer did not stop, Her throat was gouged, ripped and torn, Maybe was a lycan, I can only say, I doubt that very much, Murderer went on ***** harvest, Took a kidney, ****** removed, For 'tis said that her murderer may have got disturbed, Murdered by Nemesis of such depraved neglect, Never seen to show regret, Teased and tormented Scotland Yard, Long Liz was apparently dishonest in soul it seems, Swedish by descent, not really very decent, Tried to con her Swedish Church to get finance from a fib, Poor Liz, had no understanding of what the bible said, Sad lady Liz, Well,did end up dead! Some said was a dark man, dressed in class attire, Others said he didn't care! _____________________________________________________________________ Next Part to Follow!

"Long Liz Stride"
the markerboard on the fridge read: sleep tonight. the only thing i promised myself i'd do. the day went something like this: i woke up thirty minutes late, i made do with only washing my hair, ate an apple, yogurt, drank a cup, ****** myself to clear my head, ignored the neighbor as i stepped out the door. went to a dead-end, data-entry job, where the girls aren't pretty, nobody is funny, because everybody is a CPA and i'm not pleasant because i don't give a good ******* about the world of finance. the highlight of the workday (as it is everyday), was the break room chatter during lunch. the earth-shattering conversations revolved around: *how good the nutrisystem desserts taste, how there was low voter-turnout in the midterm, and how that one girl is a lesbian*. i got off work, ate a sandwich, a banana, put on sweatpants and a thrift store t-shirt. i wrapped some fitness contraption around my belly, whose sole purpose is to make my abdomen sweat profusely. no pretty girls at the fitness center. i got back to my apartment. wrote some phony poetry full of half-baked sentiment for no worthwhile reason. i smoked. i watched a foreign film, but couldn't find my glasses. meaning: *i have no ******* clue what the plot was about*. i went to the gas station. made small talk with the long haired indian man. i bought two smirnoff 40s. something about smirnoff gives me really cohesive dreams. my roommate tried to give me a lecture. i told him christ was a myth. a simple summation of earlier religious figures. slammed the door, lit some incense called ***** i fell asleep, woke up an hour later in a fright. turned on the fan, lit some more ***** closed my eyes, and dreamt a complex novel, containing: *me missing church, my mom calling me, getting lost in canada, finding my way back to my hometown only to find two dudes with heavy machine guns killing everyone in the cozy, local shops, then somehow i got a line in a movie directed by none other than keanu reeves*. at least i finally got some sleep.

Yea verily The Movers and Shakers are society’s paveway makers. They recognise a need, feel a cause and initiate action. These people make things happen, they are the driving force in our society. By virtue of their very nature, they are rarely perfect, they have backgrounds and have, invariably, at some some stage of their life, trodden on the daisies. Our society could not do without these people. They are a rare minority and because of their positivity and momentum They make enemies. The enemy of the Movers and the Shakers are the Naysayers and the Finger Pointers. The Naysayers and Finger Pointers are the reactive side of society. They rarely initiate and rarely expose themselves to the spotlight. They fester in the shadows in their masses and froth into braying criticism Which may, or may not, develop into righteous finger pointing and condemnation. (Depending, of course, on the issue at hand and the degree of hysteria generated.) The Naysayers and Finger Pointers are society’s negatives. (They would say that they are society’s necessary checks and controls… Which perhaps, to some degree they are.) The realm of the Tall Poppy Syndrome is the perfect territory for Naysayer/Finger Pointer operation. It provides the right mix of avarice, envy and vengeance to blend clandestinely beneath a covering cloak of righteous indignation. And it provides the symbiotic platform for mass reaction from the great unwashed. I note that Mayor Bob Parker and benefactor Sir Owen Glenn are the latest recipients of negative onslaught. The Mayor has just announced that, after many years of public service, he has had a guts full of the braying abuse and is throwing in the towel. I sincerely hope that he retires with wealth and lovely wife and that he bathes in the satisfaction of his many, many achievements…well away from the accusing crowd.

Yea Verily.....
Yea verily The Movers and Shakers are society’s paveway makers. They recognise a need, feel a cause and initiate action. These people make things happen, they are the driving force in our society. By virtue of their very nature, they are rarely perfect, they have backgrounds and have, invariably, at some some stage of their life, trodden on the daisies. Our society could not do without these people. They are a rare minority and because of their positivity and momentum They make enemies. The enemy of the Movers and the Shakers are the Naysayers and the Finger Pointers. The Naysayers and Finger Pointers are the reactive side of society. They rarely initiate and rarely expose themselves to the spotlight. They fester in the shadows in their masses and froth into braying criticism Which may, or may not, develop into righteous finger pointing and condemnation. (Depending, of course, on the issue at hand and the degree of hysteria generated.) The Naysayers and Finger Pointers are society’s negatives. (They would say that they are society’s necessary checks and controls… Which perhaps, to some degree they are.) The realm of the Tall Poppy Syndrome is the perfect territory for Naysayer/Finger Pointer operation. It provides the right mix of avarice, envy and vengeance to blend clandestinely beneath a covering cloak of righteous indignation. And it provides the symbiotic platform for mass reaction from the great unwashed. I note that Mayor Bob Parker and benefactor Sir Owen Glenn are the latest recipients of negative onslaught. The Mayor has just announced that, after many years of public service, he has had a guts full of the braying abuse and is throwing in the towel. I sincerely hope that he retires with wealth and lovely wife and that he bathes in the satisfaction of his many, many achievements…well away from the accusing crowd. And if I was Sir Owen Glenn, I would abruptly cancel the offered, generous, $2 million finance for the Anti Domestic Violence Campaign and with fierce eye tell the Naysayers and Finger Pointers of New Zealand society to go stuff themselves… then turn and walk away, never to return.

The sky is so polluted but it's beautiful, isn't it though? Feel bad, so to relax, sit outside 7-Eleven with a smoke. With the way I hold my head you can't even tell I'm poor. Or maybe you can, because "What's that?" You ask. It's the loose change in my pockets overfilled to the spilling You hear me walking, it's no-cash, it's no-wash, the half blood broke *** All the bad habits, no natural habitat. Clothes from the Village feel almost as fine on your flesh as the high class new tags from the corner off 5th/Saks What makes you happy? What makes you happy? With just a little more coming in you could finance your fantasy, or get more freak and nasty. Green is the color on top of the clouds that catches you falling before the ground. Shuck corn, remorseless, you can get it paid. Mesmerize at the numbers rising higher and higher, coerced too easily to enjoy your stay. What makes you happy? What makes you happy? The view from the penthouse on top of the city. Pity. There's no love in the home you built. There's no cause no effect no affection waking you up to touch the world with the passion igniting your eyes and pulsing out your fingertips. One step from homelessness without one hope, but faith is a better replacement in the end and I've got faith in code.

You Leave Me Lonely: "Shopping Spree"
I am diametrically : opposed to the closure of night shelters,those helping hands that reach out to the disadvantaged,the homeless and those who have been savaged by circumstance. What cost,the chance of some warmth,conversation,the realisation that all is not lost? But 'we've gotta picka pocket or two...' Tory blue and Labour too,both are guilty in the dock. The judgement said, 'we only followed where others led' We have a way today to pay and finance those in poorer circumstance,we only have to open up our hearts and give a chance to them,the Women and the Men who have hit the harder times. I've been there,done it,read the book and it is shit,don't let the press steamroller you and make you believe it could never happen,it's true it could be you out there, and I don't care who you vote for but I don't like you if you close the door on those less fortunate because you've got more.

Parents are the weirdest - of God's creation. I mean, who on Earth would desire the responsibility of another human being from the time they **** in their pants to the time they leave saying 'what have you ever done for me?' ? Who would, of all the things in the world, like their homeroom stuffed with stupid CDs and stuffed racoons, waterguns and Legos, dried acrylics and miniature utensil sets, ugly pyjamas and strange half-knit sweaters? I need to know why parents don't object to their kids pooping everywhere. It's either the kids are super cute or the parents are super crazy. I'm sure it isn't the former. A certain lack of imaginative faculties, in parents, is evident to me,quite frankly. Think of it this way- if it weren't for us - kids, our parents would have been carefree playboys and playgirls, and 'living their lives' - cliché. What weirdos really! Their standards of children's safety too possess a particular oddity. It's only the exact moment of physical contact during a hug that our parents feel we're safe. Their sense of economy and finance is oxymoronic. They love discounts. But they'll pay extra for whatever their kids wish. I wonder how they resist TV shows of most sorts just because they won't have their kids watch remotely explicit content, visual or auditory. I bet their sense of direction is most unnaturally affected too. Why do they even follow their kids, when they know kids don't have a working GPS? Do you have any idea, to what lengths parents go to make veggies seem delicious? Veggies, Really? Parents will have you take disgusting syrups and painful **** injections, And claim they love you. Parents will have you hit the books, And claim they love you. Parents will ground you because you do something they don't like (but they too did it when they were kids), And claim they love you. Parents will stop you every time you say a swear word (but they swear all the time), And claim they love you. Parents will claim they love you, Maybe, because they really love you. Oh, their weirdness never ends. Parents may seem eccentric, Their ways might seem a bit too bizarre, Maybe that's how the people who really love us behave! Yet, we're always rushing away from them. If you have ever traveled in a bus, you'll know how absurdly keen the passengers are, to get off, when it stops. That's how keen the kids are, to leave the laps of their mothers, quite literally the most comfortable place in the world. Parents really are - the weirdest of God's creation. And the loveliest too.

Parents - The Weirdest of God's Creation

black privilege child
Sometimes, I don't know what is the problem of my so called colleagues... There are so many issues worth tackling in the movie industry where as a movie maker u invest so much finance, time and energy and get back very little or nothing... Yet, what concerns our youths is celebrations, parties, function attendance and all... The so called movie ambassadors came up at the period of political campaign... Will this gathering still stand after they are bn used for political campaigns... That's a question that I'm sure can't b answered... D crazy aspect, s dt every name now goes first with Ambassador lagbaja or Ambassador tamedu... So crazy.... Rebranding starts from our selves... No group whatsoever, has d power to influence a corrupt, mis-managed, malfunctioning industry that needs urgent attention... I'm surprised to even find respected movie makers sleeping and putting heads in same direction... If we want to speak in one voice, I believe... There's an existing body, when d music sector got its branding and uplifted its current face to d very level its today, D's were not d measures and procedures takn.... Even in Hollywood, I have nvr heard of Ambassador Nicolas Cage, Ambassador Angelina Jolie etc... Neither in bollyhood have I heard of Ambassador Shakiru Khan or Ambassador John Abraham. What a pity..., even the newly experienced movie makers that doesn't even know what D's game is all about bear Ambassadors... I hear, there's fine for misbehaviour at events and all... Hmmmmmm, those that have sumfn upstairs, let them start thinking... Don't b used for sumfn that u will end up not benefitting and later b d glory of sum people that knows where this is going and the aim behind it.... However, if the motive is truly for d upliftment of D's great job that we all do with great passion... God help us all.... Tokunbo Awoga
