"financing" poems
Since my breakup  I realized the importance  of threats from debt  wieghing down  a relationship  Since my breakup I have made a promise  to not have one  monthly obligation regardless the sacrifice  Since my breakup  I moved in with family  in order to save money  and paid cash for a camper  so I could live, rent free  Since my breakup  I paid cash for a pickup  that easily could last me  the next 20 years to come, not paying one penny to interest  Since my breakup  I have been saving  as much as possible  versus financing  MY AMERICAN DREAM  Since my breakup  I bought a sports car  that was the one to have  when I was in highschool  another goal Im proud of  Since my breakup  I have divided and conquered  all the debts and threats  of monthly obligations  and rearranged my desires  Since my breakup  I have realized what i want  and Im proud to say  I finally purchased  my own piece of land  Since my  breakup I have discovered  my desire to live simple  and my next mission is to build a home on my land  BUY DIRT

those powerful bankers they who have much clout are financing the ultimate destruction which shall inevitably occur cards are beginning to fall those who've been dealt unimportant suits shall surely die those who are most fortunate shall be dealt cards most high they'll seize every ace the bankers issue out there will be a select few who'll have ownership of the planet's vital resources the elites shall take all they can obtain which will leave nothing for the masses on our planet with which to sustain talk is becoming louder an event most prophetic shall shock the Earth's inhabitants hear the reverberating the tremors are starting to roll the circle of Illuminati shall be in control

Control
You are excess of my goodness when am done with my badness I love you Africa in excess for your excess of problems; Poverty, wars, warlords, diseases, hunger, famine And cataclysms evilest eating away your terra firma Like a desperate Tiger on a capsized boat, Your riches in history of slavery and heritage of colonialism, In the excess of your global bleeding that makes me love you more, Your excessive black ugly humanity in the explosive population of useless human beings; barely illiterate and blunt in knowledge Buried deeply in the starkness of crude and vulpine culture, These bestow to me the synergy to love you O! My dear tarzanic Africa, Your excessive cult of dictatorships that glitter in aura of democracy, Sending your sons and daughters to miserable powerlessness, Devoid of governance in abundance of power and money corruption, Financing and cementing torture chambers for the voices of reason, Building my pedestal on which I stand to execute My cornucopia of love for you dear Africa, an avatar of Satan, As you are prone and spread eagled in a defenseless stretch Against all the ****** condemning your self to ideological turmoil, I still do love you in supercilious superfluity my dear Africa.

Shut Down the Gubmint!
The invasion of other countries Has to come to a full stop. You’re making us the Evil Empire By playing at being traffic cop. We are stuck in a sick cycle Of meddling in the internal affairs And financing revolutions and wars In countries where nobody asked us there. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame. You tell the voters one set of lies And secretly agree on others. Your backroom manipulations Kills our sisters and brothers While hiding behind patriotism The overseas battles of duplicity Are not about threats to us here, But are about oil and ethnicity. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame. You take advantage of the state Of poverty out nation is suffering That you politicians caused By removing our safeguard buffering. You are doing your best to remove All the national checks and balances So you can ***** our world at large That has no recourse for grievances. You’re evil And even more so; Pure evil Because you don’t think so. At least that’s what you claim But you’re as phony as your fame.

EVIL
Part 1 The snooze button empowers me to the veto the day However some Congressional sub-committees on time and financing appear to be overriding my action Part 2 I have played with clouds I have seen moons drop past the horizons of distant worlds I have talked to Solomon, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Siddhartha, the Dalai Lama, all of his incarnations, Gandhi, Ben Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and soldiers returning home from countless wars And I have been disappointed thousands of times because you have awoke me before I was fully enlightened Part 3 You should have warned me before I said something stupid Why don't you ever signal me before I over draw my checking account You could of let out some kind of peep telling me that the dog was about to crap on the floor You are good for nothing Part 4 It needs to be over between us I am in love with pillow

Yes. And we all know how to Make poetry pay. We all know what it is That makes Sammy run, Run Sammy Run. But I take it to its Absurd conclusion: Ads right in the middle of The ******* poem! “That was,” If I do say so myself, “A stroke of pecuniary brilliance." Pecuniary adjective pe·cu·ni·ary \pi-ˈkyü-nē-ˌer-ē\ : Relating to or in the form of money Full Definition of PECUNIARY 1: consisting of or measured in money 2: of or relating to money — pe·cu·ni·ar·i·ly \-ˌkyü-nē-ˈer-ə-lē\ adverb http://www.thesaurus.com Would not this be an excellent conceit? Villainy of a close & potent kind? Put the cart before the horse (So to speak): POETS AS SWEAT EQUITY. That’s right! Make us pay for our sins, Financing our sins. (So to speak). What a concept! Why not run the Merriam-Webster logo here . . . Would this not be the appropriate time? (logo) Advertising right smack Dab in the middle of The ******* poem! My third world soul Having a difficult time Navigating this Toddlin' Town Allow me to show you around, town. And lest we forget: Our first poets were religious crazies, With diction gilding Version, King James. "My Schtick," As Mel Brooks might say. Mel's History of the World (Part 2, i.e.), Retells the Essence of Story Telling, The Misnah Pentateuch, Told again with the usual **** genius. Scene: Moses stumbles on Sinai, One of three burdensome Stone tablets is dropped, Shatters on a rock. What could possibly have been proscribed In those 5 lost commandments? What freaky human pleasure, Could possibly have been lost to humanity? It is pointless to speculate. 'Tis better to think about this, Dear Poetry Publisher Query ***** Ads right in the middle of the ******* poem.

I was tied like a ribbon. Tied to a silver coin I followed it everywhere It was survival They tell you to do what you love, But who is financing my dreams? I only see one decision. The silver coin. The ribbon slowly tightening Around my neck, Starting to choke the choices Out of me. They tell you to do what you love, But they only mean The dreams that collect silver coins. The dreams that fix massive dept. So what am I to do? My dusty pockets And love of art Leaving me at a crossroad. I wish for a different world. Where achieving your dreams Wasn't a fantasy, And I could paint words for a lifetime.

The Artists
we found it where the rubble lies we found it beneath such wretched lies we found it when we were both so lost we found it even beneath the gloss we found love buried under the bets saying we would not make it but let's not forget that everyone that ever dropped their money in the pool is financing their own divorce and just look like a fool because we found love as two souls, separated and not one persons disillusionment was ever going to take it away from us what we have is forever we found love we found it together

We Found Love
Have we forgotten how to care And how to give a **** Our people go without There's hunger in our land The haves have excessively much And hold on to it tight The have-nots have so little That they can’t afford to fight The winds of change are blowing cold On humanity's naked face We just blew 800 billion dollars To bail out problematic banks Watch as children starve A lack of interest takes the stage Women still lack equality Another black man killed today But we can't afford such mercy 'Cause were financing another war Have we forgotten how to care And what this life is for?

I’m spinning off the rails At catastrophic speeds Flying off the handle To fulfill my childish needs I’ve busted my back I’ve paid my share; my dues I no longer wish to offer up My services to you The flag I wave is of surrender The universal sign of truce My mind is fed up and tired of‬ ‪This mental warfare of abuse ‬ Throw down your weapons Your words can open doors Instead of seeing bloodshed While financing all their wars

Truce?
All my poems be about romance and stuff. I never jumped over the edge took a chance on stuff. But I may have peaked and glanced at stuff. I may have needs like financing stuff. I’m trying to gain profit on monopoly. Not talking board game, not it obviously. My reality is stuck on apologies. Sorry, Forgiveness, Excuses, Yeah I abused it. If the words are free then I won’t refuse to use it. I’m not advertising but that symbol said, “Just Do It” So I’m going to do it and try to get it done. Pray for a brother my sister nun. God is the father, I’m just his son. Raised by the church but not from birth. We’re all born of sin, God lift this curse. We all want to win, Quench this thirst.
