"forbes" poems
I can’t wait to be a hundred; turning over the thoughts and plots, of Caledon floating on Zimmer inserts and dusted Florsheims three steps forward in a dream woven summer afternoon Through the barn doors and bee keeper flats assimilating voices from Sachems and Forbes and Hope Healers coming and going as the countryman comes and goes You can feel it in a place like this the 3 in the tree memories of Allis Chalmers and combine parts of Sundrim poppers and shallow carp fields of patterned lawsons and fading caulk (on the ripped and rolled frontier seats) it’s a wishing well for the peddler and bold hydrangea... both peeking their way through the rusted grinders wheel

The plots of Caledon
late night by the holland sill white framed and frilled alongside the meadow down by the grand where cat fish and cow pies and silly yellow bees make their stay there are swings now and empty barns (with quiet corners and broken walls) echoing chambers that speak of the past ...and little dogs not big ones the plaster cracks and wheat sways from a warm west wind it’s about time for that late afternoon pour you know how it cleans the soul old percy would say and flanders (the holder of those pigs) who fed us good with sow and milk as we plowed the dusty fields into the hot summer sun i can still hear the screams of river shore dreams the grand slams and flints run dry the barks and breaks and bends a world past with forbes and dolls and crab apple trees think i’ll take a trip up the back lane they’ve cut the brush and opened the line

The River Grand
A seventies child Born in Wales, one of the four Countries of The UK. I remember brown as the colour of the day. Fabric embossed wallpaper all the neighbours names, who married who, who was carrying on, the alcoholic, the beaten wives, Even, get this the peadophiles (or kiddy fiddlers as was known) Dai the milk, Mair the bread, the shop of infinite items. Rugby practice for dad, baking for mam (Cake and babies) gossip over the garden hedge Fish on a Friday a Sunday roast, hot sweet tea. Bubble and squeak, post delivered before you left for school. Mist on the mountain, dew on the grass. Welsh valley life, sounds idyllic but scratch the surface and a darker colour than brown emerges. Petty squablings leading to familial feuds, the Williamses don't get on with the Joneses, and as for the Pritchards, less said the better. School, local, no not for me. I was sent to a Welsh School, taught and learnt the language denied to my Parents by English politics. Cat amongst the pigeons there. Did I think I was special? Ideas above her station. That's what the neighbours say. Well, you all had the option. Dr Forbes FRCS Delivered babies buried men and women Loved by all, especially his lollipop sweets. I wasn't a child to get ***** or rip wrapping paper off of gifts, I liked to go under the stairs (like Harry Potter) and read. I left the dirt for my sister born 4 years later. Then in 1982 came my brother, tidy my mother describes it. '74,'78,'82 poor dad to have to wait I say! More pubs than chapels, more walking than driving more rain than sun, more music than ever was sung. The '80's came, and we had strikes, no electric, candles toast made with a toasting fork over the fire. No mines, no steel, no jobs. Picket lines, dole queues, women in work latchkey kids, Thatcherism, ******* times. Falklands war, IRA bombs, Royal weddings Tory rule But, the fire in the dragon never went out and Tom Jones still sings his heart out. Cymru cysglyd gwlad y gân, deffrwch nawr, dyma'ch tro.

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power, but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad man Forever young, I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?

Forever young, I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever? Fear not when, fear not why, fear not much while we're alive Life is for living, not living uptight, see ya somewhere up in the sky Fear not die, I'll be alive for a million years Bye-byes are not for legends, I'm forever young, my name shall survive Through the darkest blocks, over kitchen stoves, over Pyrex pots My name shall be passed down to generations While debating up in barber shops Young Slung hung here, Shorty, the ***** from here With a little ambition, just what we can become here And as the father passed his story down to his son's ears Younger kid, younger every year, yeah So if you love me, baby, this is how you let me know Don't ever let me go, that's how you let me know, baby Forever young, I wanna be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?

Starving his people so that they eat off dumpsters is not enough; Causing more than 3,000,000 of the best and brightest to emigrate is not enough; An annual inflation rate of 60,324% today (source: Forbes) is not enough; Rejecting at gun point foreign food and medicine to aid the sick and starving at the borders is not enough; Trampling on the Constitution and establishing a dictatorship is not enough; Billions of dollars stolen from the Venezuelan people by cronies is not enough; Destroying hope, progress, and a leading world economy is not enough; Today government thugs are literally running over protesters in armored vehicles. A small group of rabid-left apologists in the U.S. telling us to ignore the man behind the curtain in an insane attempt to defend the indefensible must face reality. Maduro must go. His Marxist dystopia must be dismantled. The Venezuelan people must regain the right of self determination through free and fair elections--not the sham elections all Communist nations use to show close to 100% approval of the ruling tyrant. Enough is enough!

Ya’ll **** (Myself included, I said everybody, didn’t I)? Forbes, a magazine for rich wannabes, says: 85 people control half of the world’s wealth (yet, nobody obsesses) In my rural hometown alone, that’d be the equivalent of a disembodied ****** hole calling all the shots from a platinum throne inside the town hall “Keep plowing! Keep selling! PLLLLLPPPPPP! Sop up my **** with all those Benjamins, and bring the Russian ballet in!” In between **** and brain rotters, everyone else watches ****** with his handsome silk hat on, shake hands with the petty bourgeoisie in suits Little lap dogs licking up all the slimy brown Franklins

SCARED OF BEAUTIFUL
Got up to turn the pages Let up so I can burn my wages I spend time like Its money and I am a Forbes CEO Just when I think I can supersede myself the confusion begins to glow like an expected sunset on the drive home I smile at an elderly woman leaving a tacky hotel wedding in a wheelchair, cheap dress draped with an oversized man's coat It's cold in Philly And the sharp bending wind whips my soul Like a favorite eerie  movie I inevitably watch again we fight on the phone and you say it's everything that I've done I sit down with my coffee and smoke a cigarette I don't gamble with numbers - but the chances I get Far away in a jet soon to tel aviv banks' charge conversion rates for currency the door opens and closes the places my heart goes when I remember you have to say yes before you can learn to say no

5/1/2014 I’ve never met a woman that knew what Forbes was, or had a subscription to it at the age of 18 anyways. First thing she said to me when she sat down was a marvel at the fact that i was 20 and actually right in front of her. We talked about Champagne rose and the middle class the first 5 minutes we knew each other- I told her she was a woman after my own heart and I unbuttoned the top of my collar. She smiled tightly as if there was taffy stuck to her front teeth, or something, and she asked me didn’t I think she looked a bit young? I told her not really but sometimes, but I thought most of the time she looks 13, but i kept that to myself, and that’s when I noticed her eyebrows. They were perfectly squared and colored in perfect mocha. And then my eyes trailed a bit down and found her eyelids- it’s as if she had glued skinny leather black strips above her lashes. “I love your tan,” I remarked, unbuttoned again. She stifled and told me she was an islander. I smiled and told her I love dark skinned girls. She blinked a green eye and touched the blonde of her hair with a chubby finger and i asked what she planned on after school- she told me human rights law, and how she hoped for a short dinero packed marriage. I asked her if she wanted to go to bed with me and she smiled and said no and stood up. I told her I could respect an opulent woman like that, and her fingers soothed down and up the hem of her genteel Chloe blouson.  I said bye and finished her glass of Cristal.

No matter the colour of the skin the shade of eye and the silver Mercedes parked in angular arrogance or the pin-striped suit and embossed briefcase. This is all external. Internally lies a rot that seeps through your emotions and spills out your conversation of stocks and shares and deals awaiting in the forest of your investment. Money kills. The lines jangle and rise with regular asterisk displays of sharebrokers meetings with profound number crunchers all racing to the billionaire list on Forbes unaware that at home the little boy is playing with matches and momma is looking out the window watching a man across the street meddling with his mistress' bra straps. You would never ever know how she feels in her own narcotic ecstasy. Each day you are missing she is rowing a boat to a nowhere shore where weasels wait to devour her destiny ! © Marshall Gass.

Started out doubtful, Lost at sea like my boy fievel, Partying every night yet I was spiteful, Mouth full of things yet was not thankful. Always wanting more, Yeah I was a carnivore, Was so rich yet so poor. Had everything yet was empty to the core. Smiles as phony as some real fake doors. Hoping one day I would be on the Forbes. For I yearned for the illusion of grandeur. For I was tired, Tired of being barred, Barred from what society deemed popular, But popularity only has so much allure, It certainly is not a cure. In fact I would say it’s more of a cancer. That becomes as obsolete as a blockbuster. And I can no longer be an actor. Faking smiles and shaking hands with gators. Or Catering to dictators, For I’m an innovator, A lyrical operator. And a educator, That spits lyrics with high energy like a particle accelerator. Yeah I am unlike the rest of yawl common denominators. U gotta understand, Ain’t no way to truly comprehend, What it is like to come from nothing, And make it into something. Yet still remembering, Where one came from. When one barely had any income. Gotta stay humble man, Because tomorrow it could all disappear fam.

See it's a strange thing, "self made men" It's the rage thing, "forbes front page t'ing" A majority that's pacing, voting for a one percent that in return enslaves them My girl used to laugh at my jokes now I'm broke and she ******* hates 'em I look for aspects of success and then I stage them   be sure to colour background facebook page 'em My rent doesn't reflect my wages that's inflation; that's what I get for living so close to the station In this pompous student city covered in glitter and these ditsy Corpus Christi ******* be getting quicker and quicker and quicker Don't know how they can afford the liquour pre-drinks before Ballare movin' on to something bigger If I see another site with student accommodation on the hoarding, I might as well go sell my **** Start ******* because I'll never make it in this town I'm one quarter brown and I don't speak Spanish born in Cranebridge, forced to watch others live lavish The tourist loves it but a local feels damaged

Complications of Development
Life is not easy, life is hard, but you have the wheel to decide where to go with it, you can have fun, share with friends, make a changes in people's minds. Its a free way, you and only you decide who and where you wanna be. You can be the next billionaire on the cover of Forbes magazine, or you can be the drug dealer around the corner. The s choice its on your hands. The question is Who do you wanna be?

With filthy fingers crusted in mud, In ignorance we blissfully rub Precious people and meaningful moments the wrong way Until reflecting in our catalogue of memories one day We see their true worth, the staggering figures of what they cost And wisely lament on our poor loss

it was like walking outside the day after a windstorm. The chill remained, but no remnant, no sign showed where you wandered. What you left behind offered the only reminder: scattered leaves, road signs askew, an overturned chair. When you were here your presence was a feeling, a touch against the skin, a stroke of hair, a breeze intangible to grasp, insubstantial as an unasked question. Not wishing to go off-kilter I altered my balance, strode forward against the current, brushed the hair away from my eyes. And now – the emptiness is non-empty. The absence recalls what was once there. The space between cause and effect was only a pause. I asked a woman for directions; she said, go down Forbes Avenue and turn left where the 7-Eleven used to be.
