help the farmers help create a future of AUSTRALIA
I'm afraid of losing my parents. I'm afraid of death. Never finding the "right one" is a fear. Not being financially stable is a fear. Never being genuinely happy brings me fear. However, my greatest fear is not being great; not being successful.

Fear
I want to be available to the people who love me. I want to be there emotionally, physically, financially. I want to be their shoulder their crutch, their solace. The person who does not drop anything. I want to give the feeling of lightness to every being walking this earth. Every human, creature, and plant as they grow up fast. I want to be nutrition, a steadfast superhuman so unfazed, so cool-headed. It infuriates me that I'm not this person. It should be so easy to give. If I just get my **** together, I've repeated on and off again the last five years. But somehow, I always manage to waste enough time to get there, but late. When I have nothing left, a hollow person someone gave too many tries. Still, the people I love tell me I'm wise, an angel body. Like they must justify, who I am, the imposter the transient, always planning, for when she can run away again.

Transient
I have no reason to be sad. I have food on my table, I live in a luxurious stable, I’m not disabled nor financially unstable. Everything I want, I had. So please explain to me how I went all bad?

{Thirty Three}
Dear husband, I pray that you  have God as your first love and you pray to him vigorously. I pray he hears your whispers, your screams, your silence, your tears of sorrow; and tears of joy.  I pray that he blesses you with the tools you need to build & keep your foundation sturdy and deeply rooted. I pray that your past doesn't linger and damage your future. I pray that you fall madly in love with yourself and you know who you are as a man and understand what you stand for.  I pray that you evolve in this lifetime with your love, mind, body and soul. I pray that you are financially responsible and have the common sense that's needed to survive. I pray that you pray for me and our beautiful family and friends. I pray that you feel me, see me, understand me, like and love me as a woman and what I stand for. I pray that you have patience for us; be gentle enough for us.

A Prayer For My Future Husband
Why do you love the one you do? Arrogant as he lives Intriguing minds have not a clue. He cheats, he lies and receives your endless forgives Security he cannot propose Financially, spiritually, emotional or otherwise. Love unfaithfully he bestows Disguised as Christian he justifies. Smothered in the cocoon of his limited sphere, Hinders flight for the beautiful butterfly, Egotistically the coward oozes insincere. Sadly pondering, inquiring minds ask Why?

Why
Depression, is a concession of unstable chemicals made from the memories of cruel intentions, My life is still here plodding along.. But only I hear the sound of my own thoughts like an annoying repetitive song. I hear that little voice, calm down it says! stop filling your stupid head, with anxiety a lack of self motivation and such a thing as recreation, only self interrogation and constant ************ I think of ways of ending it.. A rope around my neck?... or a cocktail of prescribed drugs? I try to find help but no one is willing or the nhs has started billing, I blame society and the burning of the bras, things were simpler with our evolutionary past. Nothing is moving I am stuck, I feel useless and out of so called ambitious luck. My patience is wearing and poignant preparations, is it really that necessary? I just can't be fckd! Move on, try again and again. Run away!... But financially there is no escape! The cruel beatings, the childhood ruined by my selfish relatives and a man I fell pregnant with. Take away the memories.. please take them away before I cry the tears from the river of blood and pain.

I'm on the run And not for fun The police are chasing My heart is racing When my life is at stake My morality I'll break The police release the hounds I can hear their deadly sounds They want to maim me I want to stay me I decide to fight the charging canines Because I just snorted a ******* line My judgement loses length To my influx of strength I break the dogs' legs Until they beg That's not enough Sorry Scruff The steel gun I fire A furry cop retired The police attack me For defending myself They refuse to see The danger to my health They chose to use crazy canines So I feel the fault isn't mine That doesn't change their decision For me to die slowly in prison I am in the teeth of the government Much to my human wonderment This is the way I'll spend the rest of my life For the decisions I made at the end of a knife The irony is cops **** dogs all the time Yet they obstruct their vision of the line Where it ceases to be man versus society And becomes man versus nature When a man is in peril He must turn feral But in a country that blindly idolizes aggression The police don't acknowledge this discretion They dig their teeth into our skin While draining us financially The only way we'll ever win Is if things change substantially Sadism fervently fuels the flames of conflict With an exasperated public sick of being kicked Cruelty is what they witness To lose their mental fitness How can they protect their babies When the police have rabies? The police relationship with the effected public will never shift When there's a Cereberus between them maintaining the rift

Doubt So easy to say. So hard to get past. I've always had a little bit of it reflected inwardly because I've never been able to attain the appearance I wanted. I've never been quite thin enough. My hair has never been quite long enough. My skin never quite clear enough. And because of this its caused me to doubt other areas. If I can't get in peak physical shape, what makes me think I can become financially independent?  Get a good job?  Start my own business? If I can't control something as simple as a complexion, hair follicle or calorie, how do I think I can take on the outside world? It's the doubt that eats you. It's the doubt that tucks you into your grave with the could haves because you cancelled yourself out. You're problem is not in your thighs or uneven eyebrows. Your problem is you think they're your problem. Stop taking yourself out. You are worthy. You are so. worth. loving.

To quote Athos from "The Three Musketeers" "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell" When I first met you as a colleague I made the mistake Of getting friendly with you When I should have ensured That our relationship was going to be strictly professional Of course, you had your own ways Of charming those whom you came in contact with That is something for which I have to give you credit Albeit grudgingly And you were an expert At playing the victim card Nevertheless, after I changed jobs I thought I had seen the last of you However, you came back into my life As unexpectedly as the recent rains in Chennai Initially, it seemed kind of sweet However, I should have realised sooner That you had certain ulterior motives Unfortunately, I got fooled by your sweet talk And started helping you financially Because you looked up to me as a brother I never doubted you in the slightest Which was probably the biggest mistake of my life You took advantage of me In the worst way possible And kept draining my bank account Your lies kept getting taller and taller And I kept believing them Because, you had me well and truly under your thumb However, even the most credulous person in the world Can develop suspicions at some stage Thus, after years of being in a psychological coma I finally managed to wake up to the harsh reality And told my family everything Of course, with the help of a dear family friend After we finally confronted you You signed a written agreement Promising to return all my money Within a certain deadline That deadline has long since passed And you have not paid even ten percent of your dues What is worse Is the fact that you are absconding And giving absolutely nonsensical reasons Which even an utter fool would find it difficult to believe You ruined my life Destroyed my happiness And shattered my self-confidence Is this the way you treat a person Whom you have addressed as "brother" Not once, not twice, but several times? I am giving you one last chance Not for your sake But for the sake of humanity You had better take it Because, if not Then you will soon find yourself in prison Again, to quote Athos "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell"

I cancelled my bank overdraft Cut my cards up in a small pile Actually, it was quite large you know And this act made me smile Just deal with cash from here on out Never buy more than I need It released a weight off of my shoulders And deep down I felt freed fiscally conservative financially responsible My nation cannot do it Without me as an example No more fees for paying late If I need it I pay cash Budgets I will follow And spending...that I'll slash Can you imagine if a nation Took this simple thought to mind Just pay with what we make from tax And leave what we can't afford behind No missiles, and no foreign debt We're just beholding to ourselves It's politically reprehensible But, we owe it to ourselves fiscally conservative financially responsible My nation cannot do it Without me as an example No more fees for paying late If I need it I pay cash Budgets I will follow And spending...that I'll slash No government agendas To trade for that we can't afford It would ***** the nations bankers And make the economists quite bored To be responsible for our actions We are taught right from the start don't spend the money you don't have Well, to me...that's really smart fiscally conservative financially responsible My nation cannot do it Without me as an example No more fees for paying late Spending I will slash My budget I will follow And from now on pay just cash

Fiscal Conservatism (In answer to a challenge from Dark Artisan)
I sat across from a man made of millions. From his shiny black patent shoes to his dolphin patterned socks, and his slicked back gray blonde hair, a color so elusive Midas himself would find fault with designating blame, I saw treachery. If character were based on dress I would assign worth every time. But people don't work that way: you must listen to what they say. When he mentioned God and fate in the same breath as commissions and unlimited potential financially, I went back to the socks. Imagining the dolphins desperately trying to find someone else's socks, someone less driven by green pieces of paper easily set aflame by a deranged individual, someone like me, who would not be so ludicrous, but entertained the notion, would have more idealistic pure thought framing. While the world runs in bounding strides to freedom from debt, from loans, from taxes, and money....stuff, so that every "thing" materializes as a personal possession and retirement happens at the unseemly age of 35, but who will provide a home for the dolphins? I would not throw my socks away as soon as the threads began to bare. I would find some cerulean blue thread and weave in the ocean.

a message from the dolphins
Most of my life, I’ve been a highly independent person and proudly so. I have grown myself up, travelled alone, personal decisions. I am even praised for being so independent. I can’t say I did not enjoy the glory. I have rejected my support system fiercely and craved the glory of independence. Growing up and be independent! That’s all that has been a goal. I had made personal independence as my virtue. Independence from parents, from education, and when you have your heartbroken, independence from being in love. I hated the word “compromise” and the only way to achieve. Doing something all by yourself takes no compromising. I don’t have to think about someone else’s feelings, I don’t have to worry about their needs, I don’t have to take care of anyone but me. Now, this sounds more and more like selfish than independence. I realise the bigger struggle is to collaborate and come to a solution where everyone has their needs met, to give as well as take. Now that felt like growing up, the test of real courage. Are we glorifying independence because we don’t want to take care of other people? Because everywhere I went, someone was telling me I needed to find my freedom. Everywhere I looked, I searched in vain for that independence I once had, finally having to accept I would never be an unemotional, unattached person again. Maybe we need not be independent. Self-made Is so overrated. Nobody is. We need not be. Even world war was won by the alliance. We need 2 for a clap or make a life. You need light and day to survive, you need bones and muscles. The world is not singular, the world is not independent. Even earth is going round and round the sun with a crazy crush that it can’t collide into and it can’t move away from. Earth is so on its own, so much in its own, but its existence is a collaborative one. I know now that I can’t go at it alone or maybe even if I can I don’t want to do this alone. I want to live a life with friends and family supporting each other through the good, the rough, and everything in between. And I want a romantic partner to experience life with me. I want to have support emotionally, physically, and financially a coexistence. My feminazi is in admitting that we need more feminine collaboration than the masculine ideal of success and independence. I want to find that freedom of shared submission and being part of something bigger than self-sufficiency.

Another Sunday, time to recover From all the drugs, my only lover Take my B vitamins to start the circulation With some fish oils to reduce inflammation Most importantly, are my amino acids Because of that I've been flushed So now I replenish these masses The benzos are the only drugs that get touched So addicted to them, so I know it's a must If a doctor read this, he'd understand my logic But if a doctor read this, he'd command me to stop it As I continue my day with my normal acting mind I realize I'm a slave to drugs, all the time But I'm financially flourished The whole family I nourish And after reading these poems, I feel some people get jealous Who would follow me? They know my soul I had sold it I always follow back, I'm not a bad guy Now sit on top of that, I'm not living a lie I could really care less about it It's just an alias, and a therapeutic outlet Just another Sunday Glad you read about it

Another Sunday
A square, white, four bedroom, one bath country home With fourteen kids, parents and much family love We didn’t have abundance: fiscally poor But we had each other: banked on our family We shared our victories and or trying pain We were a modest Scottish Catholic Clan Isolated, we were not to our immediate clan Our uncle’s lived within a trot, fifteen in his home We kids worked and played on the farm without pain It was an adventurous labor of extended family love We worked, laughed, cried, and played as a family In the early years, we young ones were anything but poor However, in grammar school, we learned the meaning of poor And materialism and envy, outside our cloistered clan But together we lived and loved as a close nit family Sure we had disagreements, not material goods, but a solid home White paint peeled on the outside, yet inside was painted love Still, there were poverty jokes, ridicule and masked pain Every family has strife, baggage, and superfluous pain Our parents didn’t drink; we had faith, yet fiscally poor Ole Dad plumbed toilets; Mom slaved in the house, both with love So we wouldn’t trade riches for our impoverished meager clan Summer berries to pick, winter sledding, spring kites, and forever home Kickball games, splashing in ponds, nature hikes and family We were not taught to show emotions, hug, not an “I love you family,” Albeit, an honest, polite, and proud Scottish Clan The old house was eternally warm; it was our forever home Until 1999. Dad passed from cancer still money poor Yet rich in the knowledge of family and that his true pain Was never saying that word; on his deathbed he whispered “Love” Though our patriarch was laid to rest, we rose with the word “Love” Eventually, the house was sold, but always one huge family Mom spends her days in a retirement home remembering her clan As time passes and memories fades, it lessens the pain Of the loss of a noble father, economically poor Yet with a strong work ethic, church, and love, built a home Fourteen children now forged fourteen homes on love Many, still, financially poor, but rich in forever family Correcting mistakes that caused pain, while perpetuating our clan

$ $ $ Because I hate money as money hates me, I will out-live my debt and be buried for free. My gravest desire: die poor, with no coffin, that Death may unharden what Life could not soften. Because money hates me I sometimes hate God, (though I never served Mammon) so SHOVEL, you clod, while I speak from the grave; a cadaver with class: come strew a few flowers and cover my *** (Or cover my assets financially so my corpse doesn’t lie like a liability.) Because money hates me I’ll leave it to you to savor my point of funereal view.

Asleep at the Wake
Here I am, the manic pixie dream girl of, you guessed it; your dreams. I am here to ask you questions about your boring, probably something generic, major like business or management or maybe even some type of art form that no one really knew existed until you decided to bring it to your high school and of course the liberal arts school of your dreams has that EXACT program and all the means to support it financially. Of course, I will always ask about you. How your day is, how your plain black coffee is, what you thought of that one song that played as we were walking into the train after a date that both of us probably went on looking to get laid. But in the end, it will always be you. I will continue to fluff your deflated ego that was caused as such by some hollywood trope from your hometown like a cheerleader or maybe even someone who was on AV Club with you, who really knows, because I sure as hell don’t care to do any research into it. Now, part of being your early to mid-twenties manic pixie dream girl, it is essential for us to bond over old broken up bands that neither one of us were actually alive to see perform yet that dream of ours is still so prevalent as we make conversations over whiskey you assume I like because of it’s pretentious name that you will describe as “harsh yet creamy, dry but sweet” and on bad nights I will tell you that it tastes like the back of my father’s hand and you will laugh at a joke I did not intend to tell but then again I will have to ask you what is so funny. I will always be the one asking you about a life I am so willing to leave without even meeting your family. Being a manic pixie dream girl is all fun and games until I am the one always doing the starting of conversations, until I am the one sending you Spotify playlists that I know you will never listen to, until I am the one showing up unannounced. My name will roll off your tongue like smoke from your American Spirits, but only in the beginning, because by the end; you will cough when I finally tell you to stop calling me.

I am here to ask you questions about your boring, probably something generic, major like business or management or maybe even some type of art form that no one really knew existed until you decided to bring it to your high school and of course the liberal arts school of your dreams has that EXACT program and all the means to support it financially. Of course, I will always ask about you. How your day is, how your plain black coffee is, what you thought of that one song that played as we were walking into the train after a date that both of us probably went on looking to get laid. But in the end, it will always be you. I will continue to fluff your deflated ego that was caused as such by some hollywood trope from your hometown like a cheerleader or maybe even someone who was on AV Club with you, who really knows, because I sure as hell don’t care to do any research into it. Now, part of being your early to mid-twenties manic pixie dream girl, it is essential for us to bond over old broken up bands that neither one of us were actually alive to see perform yet that dream of ours is still so prevalent as we make conversations over whiskey you assume I like because of it’s pretentious name that you will describe as “harsh yet creamy, dry but sweet” and on bad nights I will tell you that it tastes like the back of my father’s hand and you will laugh at a joke I did not intend to tell but then again I will have to ask you what is so funny. I will always be the one asking you about a life I am so willing to leave without even meeting your family. Being a manic pixie dream girl is all fun and games until I am the one always doing the starting of conversations, until I am the one sending you Spotify playlists that I know you will never listen to, until I am the one showing up unannounced. My name will roll off your tongue like smoke from your American Spirits, but only in the beginning, because by the end; you will cough when I finally tell you to stop calling me.

I was abused literally and pushed aside by teacher He was in rage to see me when I tried to enter He might have some grievances in mind to nurture As I was doing fare in studies and position was assured I was really ashy boy but excellent in pick up I heard attentively and was cheered with thumb up His behavior as teacher made great impact in mind I might have taken it lightly if he was harsh or unkind It is customary to show little disrespect to the poor students Some of the discourtesy is extended with inferior comments I was unable to think further but bore a grudge permanently I remember those abusive remarks and resisted him once vehemently I thought and rethought about such behavior As teacher he would have been considerate and held honor I became reserved from that day and decided to keep silent As it was now known to me that best way is to offer no comment In social circle too certain disliking exist for people It may be more intensive when they are incapable Not in financial capacity to move forward and compete Live under their dominance and agree to submit I remained firm in approach but turned away from close contacts I kept good will at heart and prayed for their well being in fact This gave me enough of strength to observe them from distance I was taken little note of and none observed my presence I return gesture with kind words and remain aloof I have enough of strength financially as single proof They dare not to see me with inferiority and pull down As I have established of my own and became powerfully known I wish that same kind of maltreatment is not shown To children who are unfortunate of having means of their own They are really asset to us and builder of future generation How can we be indifferent when question of building nation comes? I have known some of the people getting blinded By sudden arrival of fortune and secretly confided Their common sense gets unnatural boost to reveal The arrogance is reflected and shown with no efforts to conceal

I got this job because I was seventeen Available everyday at three In debt with a man after I went clean My boss at the time was thirty six with a goatee Five dollars an hour plus tip, you see It was fine for me. I met the others standing by the kitchen line All of them with the same look in their eye Lying to family and friends saying, financially, their fine Getting nothing on a tip and never knowing why Yet they return the next day to serve white wine Looking around I see all of us wanted more But I’m in debt and you have to pay the rent Do it all in one day and go home to a son that’s four Under the thumb of an old vice president The roof over the kitchen is about to cave in And we watch with silent eyes Because our uniforms are being held with safety pins Promised new ones but Corporate lies And when the bubble in the ceiling pops We’ll be by the dumpsters flicking cigarettes on the road While the greedy pigs come in drawing lots Waiting for the gas stove to explode Paid vacation sounds lovely Been here every week for the past year Sometimes I’m called to come in early Pick up the broken glass from lunch rush beer The people come in Angry as they usually are Now the glares don’t even touch my skin It makes me laugh how many nasty people sit at the bar The high-class families who come in for din It’s been eight hours and six years Since we started our shift Staying here for three more is the biggest fear But we’re already ****** We’ve been here for long we know this career What else am I supposed to know Other than how to make dough It’s been a long night You can see it in the height Of cigarette buts by the dumpster Where we can freely talk about the customer It’s a busy life Feels like we’re running out of time To get out and ignore the strife But there are times when the tips make us feel sublime And we can buy a warm meal Cause maybe it will heal These aching muscles That come from a constant hustle Don’t you see why they say At the end of the day We need an ashtray.

Dear mother And father Now I know how cold this world After you released me in the airport My responsibility is not that much But the pressure I hold Sometimes It’s too much For me to hold it by my own You helped me By financially Caring Loving Teaching Screaming at me Feed me And raised me I was too proud to say that I Cried In My Sleep You may think I have a strong heart But my eyes cannot hold the tears

The Bitcoin Revolution (Bitcoin Poem 013)
“Listen honey, I don’t think you’ll be able to support yourself with this art stuff.” “I’m just not sure how much money you’ll make if you start your own business.” "Are you really sure you’ll be able to provide on a teacher’s salary?” “Is that really what you want to be doing for the rest of your life?” Why does everyone want to be financially wealthy but emotionally bankrupt?

Bankruptcy
Distance traveled time spent's dynamic progressiveness, existentially transcendental's clairaudience clairvoyance. Metaphysical mystique’s evolutionally metamorphic futurity's fatidic incarnate. Due yesterday’s retrospectively retroactive. Protractive analysis' dimensional delineation. Enigma entity’s dexterously tactile acuity and coordinated agility on the identity crisis. Cerebral cortex’s ****** matrix to synaptic syntax semantics. Prospectus perplexity surreally sublime. Quagmire quandary’s poshly plush. Who am I to think I can conception of the infinite supply? Even the syntactics of eclectic synectics pale by compare to the atrociously impetuous impudence in pugnaciously audacious. Impromptu innuendo's juncture. Imagination’s immaturities are psychic clarity’s entelechy to evolutional tenants élan vital. Fiduciary principle's financially responsible fiscal policies. Mercenary mendacity's plenary plenipotentiary. Innocuous noumenal verity, mystic symbiotic’s chicanery dynamism fealties. Proximity parameter’s perimeter peripherals, vicinity victuals to vigilante villain, propinquity habitation’s harbingers of harangued. The question remains on the tribal: how can I stand next to the person I’m standing next to if I’m carrying on right through them. It’s the trajectory extant in spatiotemporal's telemetry tactician. Well graspy greedy on the stingy frugal to mingy minion and paw flaw laws claws on it. Get a glove, objectified manifest’s diminutive minutia iota’s of self-inductive interstitial extrapolation. Detinue perfective. Traveling down this obtusely overt contusion in my vehicular contrivance convection convolution. Nimbus nimiety exorcism’s aura roan to rainbow mare. Unicorn railway nails. Swarthy swastica swath swizzles on the sweaty swelter swerve to verve.
