"insure" poems
Oh, woman, dear, don’t be so insecure; You’re only hurting yourself when you are insecure. Look at the mirror and see how beautiful you are, You don’t need to feel bad and to be insecure. When you see others smile and happy in their lives, Can’t you just smile for them and not feel insecure? When someone deserves a prize, an award for his deed, Would you aim to claim it because you’re insecure? When someone stands now in a place where you dream, Would you pull him down there when you feel insure? When someone’s being praised for an excellent work, Would you make some sour grapes- deeds of an insecure? Yes, you are stealing a moment of your own joy, Every moment that you’re jealous and you feel insecure.

INSECURITY (Ghazal)
And I will make sure that if anything were to happen, It would do little to affect you. It's not everyday You find a goose that lays eggs With speckled jewels and golden flakes The world is full of incongruity And there's no doubt about the certainty That something bad may happen, And we don't want that, do we? So listen carefully. The world is a giant carboniferous spicule Hanging in a nest of hydroxic gas and particulae Spinning within the gaps of a blackened dome Of limitless space and out of control There is no telling what way it will go There is no prediction that has fortold Any number of moments in this tumbling slumber Between the darkest hell and the further horizon I so deftly advise you with all certification To please place your bets and fly by echolocation Your eyes will mislead, your ears will displease And there is no way we can refund divine warranties This machinery has a half life of quarks And energies that vibrate into other orbits Trajectories Retaining the spin and informative piece Of that golden goose let loose amongst the canopy Of dark, off into neverland, straight on Till new morning, Beyond the stars So please good sir don't migrate away from me I have so much to give and such pain I have seen Those that fatten their goose with **** till it quacks, Those ravenous souls who ate their gift for a snack, And when life finally cuts them down to their last, They will howl and yowl and pray that goose back. This is a game, Have a good little laugh Don't waste your time or your money On a daffy Aflack Policy that keeps you policed to the earth, No way to fly, Stuck in the dirt. That is no way to live in the dream, That is no way to let death trickle in So please, pretty please, make sure you have coverages And a couple extra dollars in the pocket of those jeans Wander freely, you great big atomic bomb, you. Do catastrophic damages and I'll pay your dues. Ride the road coast to coast, Fly a bird 'round the world, Take a truck till you're home, Find a love you can trust. Find a place where your egg And your legs seek nowhere else Lay down those roots, It's Eden or bust.

I will insure your golden goose for $100k/$300k respectively

Skyscrapers and mango trees wearing boxer briefs. The tantalizing wind blows caressing paperclips and mortuary signs— turning them indigo red for we all know that dead bodies are nothing but dead. Hymns of love and soliloquies of the unconscious ego— Id of our time but men of the past be our hero. Leaving to wonder, if king Nebuchadnezzar was a crack-feign would Coca Cola still educate penguins on the importance of Lesbian Existence? For in this war of life, cockroaches are the real winners, and the taste of excellence is only reserved for fire extinguishers — so if nuclear clouds persist, let the fire burn with love and you lay on the bed of oblivion cuddling the moral that capitalism leads to schizophrenia. So insure your sanity for free 99, this, with warm regards from yours truly,                                                                              Rhizome of Golgotha.

Love Letter to a Microwave
Wet nose, four paws, and a wagging tail follow right beside me on an uncharted trail. We're exploring, but just what for? National treasure or maybe folklore? He doesn't know and neither do I. On a day like this we don't need to ask why. I stop for a break and he looks right at me. "C'mon Dev. Let's make it snappy." I can't disappoint those big brown eyes. He never complains, frowns, or tells lies. His only intention is to insure I'm happy. So I stand back up and give him a patting. We march on in search of who knows. Through the highest highs and the lowest lows, There is always an adventure just around the bend. He's not only a puppy - he's my hairy best friend.

Hairy Best Friend
So quick are we to pass the blame onto someone else's name. We quickly spread vicious lies to insure that others are despised. We push those around us so far down with all the **** that we spin round. No one is innocent of this cruel game for if you were to look, everyone's to blame.

Blame
If you ask me how I am doing I will always reply, "I am tired". Every breath I take wastes the energy I don't have. I wake up in the mornings With imaginary chains pulling me down Into a comfortable wave of blankets, Demanding I stay for a little while longer. My eyelids don't get any heavier, They get lonely. They spend their nights kissing my cheeks, And during the days they only get swift visits. So I stay in my bed as long as I can to make them happy. As the world goes on, And I am here, We seem to forget about each other, And that makes me happy. The anxiety they give me is being washed away By the softness that surrounds me, And I am not tired. I am not wasting my energy on Fake smiles, Or talking To people who don't know what is actually going on in my mind. I stay in bed as long I can. I was lonely anyways, Atleast this way I can insure A part of me Would never be.

Tiredness
Don’t be fooled regarding one’s tongue, for it has the power of life and death. Before doubting these words of wisdom, now pay attention and catch your breath… before any more idle words touch the ground. We are accountable for everything we say; Therefore, remember to think before speaking, since our reckonings will come on Judgment Day. Consciously refrain from speaking evil curses, knowing that God’s presence surrounds each soul. Undisciplined tongues unwittingly spew their venom and cause unseen damage with poisonous control. A perverse tongue easily breaks the human spirit and keeps evil, generational curses flowing. Plentiful sins roll off the tongue in the forms of: Gossiping, Tattle-telling, Slander, Lying and Boasting. Instead, give praise concerning the good things of God; speak life into situations, since healing can be attained. the reliability of The Word can be assured, for… its promises insure that ours lives can be sustained. Author Notes: Loosely based on: Prov 18:21; 1 Cor 4:20; Deu 32:47; 2 Pet 2:3; 1 Sam 3:19; Psa 12:6 Lev 19:16; Mark 4:14; Prov 15:4, 21:23; Jam 3:1-18; 2 Cor 5:10 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ By Joseph J.

What are we really looking to receive? Is it: Money, Fame, Success, or Promotion? Secret lusts of the heart create problems; are we willing to risk, His Salvation? Living to get things will never satisfy; without proper priorities and pursuits, righteousness, peace and joy isn’t obtained. Knowing your identity in Him, His fruit, mercy and grace becomes obviously evident. Seeking His face will insure that His hand   remains open towards those desiring Him. However, are we doing what He had planned? Are we delighting ourselves in Him alone? Are the goals of God, something we discuss? He always should be the King of our Life and the Kingdom that is… inside each of us. . . .

The Ballad Of The Hustler
Angels walk among us, Each and everyday. Angels walk among us, No matter what you say. The Lord sends them to us, When he's not ready for us to leave. Yes, Angels walk among us, Though you may never see. And there I prayed, Making peace with the Lord. When I heard a sound. The flutter of wings perhaps? Or, Just the sound of an angel, As her feet touched the ground. My prayers were interrupted, So I snuck a quick peek. And there standing before me, My eyes beheld an angel. Her garb was plain, And she had raven black hair. I know now she was an angel, Who was standing there. She appeared as normal, as you and me. And she asked, If she could pray for me. But it was an angel, Sent there to save me. I was so very low, And thought I was ready to go. But the lord wasn't ready for me to go. And had sent his angel, To insure I did not go. Yes angels walk among us, In many different ways. Angels walk among us, And most will never see. Yes angels walk among us, The Lord could choose you, Or even me. Yes angels walk among us, The Lord sends them to us, In times of our need. A child had wandered, Much too far away. To an unsafe place, She should never be to play. Yet the Lord chose a passer by, Who'd never gone that way. To spy the young child, Who was in a dangerous way. To inform her parents, Of where, She'd gone to play. To insure she'd survive, Yet another day. Yes, Angels walk among us, Despite what you say. Angels walk among us, Pray they never go away. Yes, Angels walk among us, Though you may never see. Oh yes, Angels walk amongst us, One came and saved me. Coleman

As the Paddles were used to stroke Against the Resistance of the Water, Thereby Attempting to insure their Progress, for the Ultimate Destination across the Mighty Ocean currents. Each stroke of the OARS met more resistance by the people manning the ship. The Sweat began to increase on each brow, But yet they Never gave up Their earnest Efforts. Even as the Winds increased and the Current became stronger,, They pressed on toward Their Destination. Each was Driven to Dig Deeper within themselves, For the Stroking had become Most Difficult!! But they were not Deterred... They knew that the Reception waiting for them on the other side, Would be worth every bit Of Effort. They Had to Endure!! As they kept their focus on the ultimate Goal,,They remained Undisturbed by the Leaks, Broken Oars, Strong Currents, Ever Increasing Winds AND Shouts of Dismay among the weak. The waves began to break over the Bows of the Boat, But the OARS DUG DEEPER and Deeper, Drawing them ever so Closer to the Shoreline that NOW came into view.. Having seen the Shoreline, A Great Surge of Energy came upon Each Person as they STROKED FORWARD. EACH person continued to the the Very End,, With that very Unusual Smile on his face and a special kind of light in in His Eye. *KNOWING FULL WELL How great the Ultimate Goal would BE. Are You prepared for the Proper use of "YOUR OARS" ??

* "PROPER USE OF OARS" (#19)
Borrowed words: all to describe Stolen moments, rented time. Diction that I now transcribe. A story that's not wholly mine. In my bed I sleep; I dream. Surrounded by walls that seem Adequate to serve my needs. But these walls weren't built for me. The walls have ears--the ceiling, eyes. Speak through our tongues--our own demise. Nowhere is there now to hide, For I (and you) am a loyal spy. Woven into fabric rendered To fulfill some view of splendor. But no one here can remember Why we stitch torn cloth together. Too short, too tall, too weak to handle; Must reinforce to insure it's ample. But how can I shatter what is fragile If I am what I wish to dismantle?

I demolished my own walls to let you in They warned and admonished me from the danger of your existence Yet somehow, I was still enthralled by the unprecedented phenomena you brought I disregard their warnings and entered your danger zone My soul found solace and felt mitigated in your arms I am not terrified of your tremendous storms I am willing to embrace your disastrous nature My love, I am your victim and it's a privilege to submerge in you I accept the severity of the damage that it might caused me I am the sufferer and you are the love that caused losses terror blood And still those reasons will not restrain me from loving a catastrophe like you My love, It is my responsibility to insure my safety and well-being You are the flood And I promise to calm you.

After twenty years, as cursed as I may be for having learned computerese, I continue to examine bits, bytes and words and insure that I'm one of those computer nerds. Program design, source code and compile followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial. There's lots of testing - a means to an end in hopes of avoiding future production abends. There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware which are made to work with in-house and vendor software. Provided are many platforms for everyone to use and assure misinformation in data's abuse.

That Old Drug Checklist? Completed. No Shame. So get over it. (It's rather colloquial, however, revealings as well. This is what I said to a boy from driver's ed who wanted to be my boyfriend... So I tried to scare him off. Hahaha. Rationale a la 15-year-old): Maple: It's not exactly something I talk about, ever, because it just demonstrates my insanity. But, I want to try everything. Every substance, every drug. Justin: Um, why? Maple: Why not? Justin: Well, cause it’s bad. Maple: If you believe in good or bad, right or wrong. I don't know what I believe except that we're all robots of each other and nothing matters anyways. Justin: Hmm, that’s a different way of thinking about it. I think that curiosity isn't bad, just be careful. . . Maple: I don't know if I am, but, meh. Is there really any good reason to do anything? Justin: Umm, no, not really. It’s what you feel, not what others feel. Well. . . just be careful. Maple: Safety is a conspiracy. Justin: Why do you say that? Maple: Think about it. You can insure everything you own, walk on the right side of the road and follow strong Christian morals that give the illusion of safety, as if you’ll go to heaven if you’re good and hell if you’re bad. But, with one fire, one plane crash. . . well it's all gone. The entirety of you. And who even knows if there is that insured heaven anyways? Justin: Hmm, you know I think that the way you think is very interesting and mostly true, I mean, nothing is ever completely safe. You can't always be careful, but I also think that you should use this and try to live life to its fullest. Maple: Thank you. But what is living life to it's fullest? Everyone always says that, but what does it mean? Justin: Well, like you, I know that what you’re doing is unhealthy, but your not afraid to try different things. You experience more then anyone else, cause most people play it safe in their comfort zone. Maple: Exactly! Always judging but never trying. Society has made these things into taboos, but are they really? I know that getting addicted is a terrible idea, but everything in moderation. Why always sit on the sidelines making assumptions behind whispered hands and backs? Why not jump into the game? Justin: Yep, that’s right. You can't sit there say that’s bad or you should do this if you haven't done it yourself. Because if you haven't, you don't know what it’s like and you’re being hypocritical. . . . Maple: Um. . . Says the boy who just told me not to do drugs “cause it’s bad.”

Why always sit on the sidelines making assumptions behind whispered hands and backs? Why not jump into the game? Justin: Yep, that’s right. You can't sit there say that’s bad or you should do this if you haven't done it yourself. Because if you haven't, you don't know what it’s like and you’re being hypocritical. . . . Maple: Um. . . Says the boy who just told me not to do drugs “cause it’s bad.”

The smoker I bought some rare cigars; had them insured against fire And by three months later I’d lost them all in a series of small fires But the ****** insurance company wouldn’t pay so I sued them The judge I’ve looked at all the evidence and I accept the cigars had been indeed destroyed by a “series of small fires” and so I order the company to pay the insured the sum of $15 000 The insurance company We paid - we didn’t want a prolonged legal case; but now we are taking the client to court as it’s clear through the very evidence he submitted he caused the “series of small fires” The judge I find the insurance company’s former client guilty of arson; and furthermore I order that the man serve prison a year each for each count and so, to make it clear, to see past all the smoke: that’s 24 years in jail for arson

insure my cigars
When you paint your walls with nonsense, and the sky outside reflects your feelings, sensations tiring, discovering floors and no ceilings. And the faceless poor man doesn't want your tips but your hand, he wants to try standing, because he's tired of kneeling. When you insure the beggar's confidence with a dime, hoping he will ask you to stay awhile, then you see he's not the freak, you are. It is your mind that is on trial, the beggarman dying, you slowly take up his cup, and begin the eternal begging for just one single smile.

Beggarman, you
The flesh lusts daily against the Spirit and the Spirit wars contrary to the flesh. The opposing tenets of grace and iniquity can never with each other… completely mesh. For the redeemed sinners operate by grace, while the practitioners of unrighteousness prefer the dark, ungodly ways of wickedness and will not inherit the Kingdom’s fullness. Fleshly works are clearly evident: adultery, fornication, idolatry, sorcery, uncleanness, contentions, jealousies, ****** immorality, hatred, envy, revelries and evil-mindedness. Fruits of the sinful flesh are plain to see and spirits cringe- at their being mentioned. Can we expect others to pursue God’s holiness, when people are upset- from being questioned? For we live under God’s grace and not His Law; His righteous wrath will be eventually revealed. Acceptance of His gift of Salvation can insure… that our lives will have been redeemed and sealed! . . .

Poem: Pursuit of Holiness
In a tiny allotment right next to the zoo A miniature jungle was planted and grew The flora was dense and the air became hot But confined to a tidy rectangular plot An unthinkable duo of creatures converged And it's said that a spanking new species emerged For a curious beast was reportedly seen Roaming and munching on anything green Make haste! Away! It's the Buffagorilla! A shredder of lettuce and cereal killer With hooves at the front and hands at the rear The Buffagorilla is near! It shambles about at the darkest of hours On hedges it crunches and bunches of flowers On daffolil bulbs and petunia petals With hearty aplomb on a cluster of nettles Covertly perusing with maximum hush It can wander through gardens disguised as a bush No carrot or parsnip is safe in its bed And the marrows are quaking in vegetable dread Depart! Retreat! It's the Buffagorilla! The broccoli butcher and vegetable killer With ape like features and horns of a steer The Buffagorilla is near! So if you hear a mention of butternut theft Or notice a garden, all bare and bereft Insure your potatoes for damage and loss Give the salad a purely precautionary toss For a creature is roaming the byway and track With its legs at the front and its arms at the back And it might be your gooseberries or chervil he spies So I beg you take heed as I once more advise Be gone! Take flight! It's the Buffagorilla! The strawberry napper and cucumber killer Just hide in your cellar and steer well clear The Buffagorilla is near!

The Buffagorilla
In a tiny allotment right next to the zoo A miniature jungle was planted and grew The flora was dense and the air became hot But confined to a tidy rectangular plot An unthinkable duo of creatures converged And it's said that a spanking new species emerged For a curious beast was reportedly seen Roaming and munching on anything green Make haste! Away! It's the Buffagorilla! A shredder of lettuce and cereal killer With hooves at the front and hands at the rear The Buffagorilla is near! It shambles about at the darkest of hours On hedges it crunches and bunches of flowers On daffolil bulbs and petunia petals With hearty aplomb on a cluster of nettles Covertly perusing with maximum hush It can wander through gardens disguised as a bush No carrot or parsnip is safe in its bed And the marrows are quaking in vegetable dread Depart! Retreat! It's the Buffagorilla! The broccoli butcher and vegetable killer With ape like features and horns of a steer The Buffagorilla is near!

Heaven, heaven is one breath away! Heaven, heaven is someone’s array of death and decay. May I say? The havens and heavens above is a way for the doves and for its love. For the day, the gay, the gray, the prey, the stray, the Sundays and sunrays! Heaven, heaven is a hideaway, a passageway, a safe way, a sway away! Heaven, heaven is basically, eccentrically, theoretically and poetically for some of the awesome that blossom! It’s an anthem or a poem! It’s fearsome, it’s freedom and a kingdom of wisdom! Heaven, heaven is a place of face, grace, race and trace. It’s full of allure and demure! It’s rest and a test assured! Where, there you can invest the best and insure your problems can be cured! Heaven, heaven’s characterized cries and eyes! The flies, the lies, the prize in disguise! Its skies, ties, the whys and the wise. Footprints and imprints of ancient legends of heroes, Negroes and Neros of long, long ago! Heaven, heaven’s gorgeous doorsteps! Yep! Its havens grand, take a stand. Many brands, many hands, many strands of many sands! Heaven, heaven is enormous and glamorous! It’s where adjacent, impatient humorous, numerous followers throng and prolong! The bleak, meek, the weak, the strong and wrong! There is where, reactive in proactive citizens and frail senior citizens hail and sail! They prevail as they unveil! They thrive and throng to there, where righteous, brightness belongs. Heaven, heaven all adhere and hear! The allowed, the followed, the hallowed, the supreme cloud towers and gracious powers! Heaven, heaven basked and tasked by thy masked gleam. Aside, inside it seemed I was alone… As I cried, as I sighed! Tied in wonder, under the heaven’s throne of wonder! In blunder, as I wondered if I were dead? Instead, black crows in rows, attacked and flew over my head! Squawking, talking, flying asunder, with plunder, plunder, under the thunder, thunder! Definitely bringing me to my knees! Infinitely squawking, talking, flying around me with ease, glee and tease! Please heaven, heaven! For instance in the distance... It’s dreamingly and seemingly quaint you see! Faint sounds of angel’s hymning and rhyming! Their heavenly, heavenly, singing, ringing triumphantly, triumphantly! Although, through the distance and persistence in time; we to will hopefully and loyally dine. Dine in thrill, on the heaven, heaven’s divine! Amen all children, men and women, heaven, heaven amen.
