"lessers" poems
It's all part of a bigger problem, namely the dollar sign Our wealth we're given is merely determined by our blood line The rich sit mighty high in the sky and dine While the lessers scour for nickels and dimes They spend all day wondering which car to drive While we wonder if we have enough food to survive They crack wise about their expensive wine While we sit and buff our dishes that can't shine We all dream of conquering the wall too steep to climb while the affluent boot steps on those not of their kin To clean the grime of the needy takes more time They think an innocent gesture amounts to a crime They're convinced we brought this on ourselves and give more to themselves to stack on tall shelves Unfortunately the wealthy control the people's power Our greatest empires built by the common man's hours Yet they are treasured the simple man's eye The glitz and glamour are merely an illusion, an ally. No matter how many thick gold bricks, I am not falling for their dubious tricks I wish to rid our society from the shackles of the dollar But the commas add up and debt restrains like a collar Until we can all break free from corporate's tight chain They'll stay to drain the remains from our withered veins

Money Means Power
**My Fists Clench The Throat Of Anger, My Knuckles Turning A Ghostly White, They Chuckle At The Sight Of Them, They Laugh At Their Native Tounge, They Speak When They Have No Right, They Break Hearts When They Have No Say, They Steal Amition With Their Stares, They Crush Courage With Their Glares, They Are Nothing More Then Lessers Themselves**

Racist
finger-paint yourself a picture on a canvas destined for nothing more than late-night one-night kisses arrange fabric on a doll that was store bought for perfection owned by jealousy mocked by lessers stain lips to never speak gentle words train lips to reside in perfect pouts school eyes in fluttering slitted hooded gestures arrange toes into smooth, unbroken shapes to be molded in a set of high heels high ballers high flyers being higher on the food chain only makes you more likely to be consumed and if we are anything we are consumers limited to materialistic consumption we dress ourselves up like a sweetshop-confection topped with gucci and laced with victoria's secret lucidity it's not hard to see what we're about if this is a judgement of clear intentions we are the clear winners our faces are perfect optical illusions standing on an assembly line waiting for someone to take a shine to the curve of our hips lips chest there is nothing to confess our cards are laid only after we are

Last night I came onto the hellopoetry site to try to drown out my mom's death rattle in some good poetry. Quite a few people, good decent people who have gathered around me and supported me during this agonizing time and one of those sweet Poets was being verbally and mentally attacked by                                    LOGHAIN CARV'O His criticisms were malicious and very hurtful and his taunting her was more than I could bare for a friend. She related the conversation to me and she was really upset. She told me what he said verbatim' It was way uncalled for. And she is not the only one he is doing this to. He's being offensive to the extreme.Calling her a peasant and telling her she couldn't write. And I'll probably catch all kinds of hell for doing it but I paid a "VISIT" to his site and left this comment and I Quote "Stop picking on ---------You call this a poem. You have some nerve telling her she can't write and you write crap like this. Well 1 out of 82 reads isn't so hot is it. Come on and kick me a few times. I should be easy pickings for you. I dare you ****** Well he responded with and I quote "It is obvious you do not have artistic vision like I, that or you did not read my poems and just came here in a petty attempt to demoralize I in retaliation to the criticisms I have revealed to most peoples "poetry" I wish to waste no more breath on my lessers. Just remember I when you see my talent spread out across the world. Remember how you showed the Greatest, most renowned and revered artist no support" End Quote. Loghain carv'o also stated  that "The community on this site is rather poor" He also stated "This site isn't exactly known for it's Grand Community" So now I know he doesn't even mind kicking some one who is already down. and i for one would like to know since he doesn't like this site or the Real Poets why stay? If he doesn't like the"GRAND COMMUNITY" why the hell he's still here. If he doesn't like us "lessers' why be among us. And I didn't even tell you the most malicious comments. When some one attacks a friend I will respond. That's what friends do. And Loghain carv'o is proving to be no ones friend. And his                           GOD COMPLEX is offensive! I SERVE ONE GOD ONLY AND IT IS NOT Loghain carv'o!!! I only have one thing to say to Loghain carv'o and that is and I quote again My visit to hellopoetry last night to get away for a moment from listening to my mothers death rattle, to read a few poems and find a little Peace for a few moments was ruined by you and your offensive attitude and comments and since i'm already in a living hell right  nowI can find you some room here so come enjoy hell with me. Oh but I almost forgot you don't want to consort with us "lessers" THE MIGHTY SURE DO HAVE A LONG WAY TO FALL LOGHAIN                    YOURS SINCERELY                                    Paula This is for you friend love Paula You can dish it out but you sure can't take it!

Hut, two, three, four What do you think you are fighting for? Four, five, six, seven Invasion is the path to heaven. Seven, eight, nine, ten If it doesn’t work, do it again. Six, seven, eight, nine If innocents die too, never mind. We need to clean things Wipe lessers out of the place. They’re a total threat and Weaken our beloved race. We don’t have time For anyone sick or poor We must go somewhere And fight unreasonable war. Helping the weak and sick Costs too much money to allow. Besides, there are among us Suffering rich people right now. This land owes it all to the rich So, we must do all we can To support them with each pitch. So, hut, two, three, four, Now you know what we’re fighting for. Three, four, five, six Now, none of your liberal tricks. Five, six, seven, eight. Don’t question your betters, that’d be great.

HUT, TWO, THREE, FOUR
City street lights illuminate the depressed streets, filled with the homeless, fiends, and the city folk. Whilst the city folk go along with their life, not thinking a single thought of their “lessers” not considering how their actions affect them. City streets illuminate yet another person taking their last breath, they thought they didn’t matter, they thought they were a waste of space. Yet another fiend sticks a needle in their arm, little did they know there was poison in the needle. Will the city folk ever wake up and see the death around them? Of course they won’t. Because the death of the “lessers” doesn’t affect them. Until it’s one of their relatives, or even them. The mayor doesn’t pay enough attention to notice, the governor doesn’t care if they live or die. The President doesn’t care either. We mustn’t look down on the “lessers”, but instead, lift them up. Stop the death, stop the harm, stop the depression. But of course, that will never happen. They will forever be stuck in a never-ending loop of self-harm, drug abuse, homelessness, and so many other horrible things that nobody should ever have to deal with.

Thee Reconstruction of Logbrain #9
how does it rain? how does it shimmer and sprinkle- ease the tensions between skies pressures and ground lessers impulse actions allow trajectory placement true aim - exists. In the quiet flicker of heartbeat syncronizational blip. only pre-destined by present fates , do we sing , and dance the life samba whilst ********** the night with our eyes, the moons ripples cascade into waterfall turrents and sink into sinkhole underbelly of cavernous , decadence grand caverns , without owners name natural built caves of crystaline exuberance bigger than you bigger than me just two duckies sitting in an awfully large ponf *pond we're nothing but dust motes yet look at at what we are !

how does it rain?
my time has come to rise from bloodstained ashes under an October moon, the night breeze cooling off our coffee - You held the railing Staring into the darkness I wish, I called sooner I said with a half-smile I knew that was obvious Lessers versions of me knew that was true - like fractals in a broken mirror like the white hot center of your cigarette like the soft flesh exposed I wish I called sooner.

Sleeping in the womb of Mother Earth Life to which the rain and ground gives birth Indulge in the silent light, soak up the peace treeling Give to the vastness your fruit and sprout a colossal being House the flying songs, cover the coy crawling lessers Make fertile your foundations, surprise the soiled crevices Contain in your coils each annum, the way of all that breathes Remain a sturdy statue for each generation's leave Let your roots grip the heart of the world On your limbs, dreams and history will be built Life after life, after day and after night All that will come, will go and you'll surpass in ageing might

The Tree
Though you lose, thus becoming an intimate as a lover or friend, brother or sister, parent, you will always lose through attrition or accident. We know that 9/11’s are attrition and love is always an accident, because we reap what we sow, and never choose whom we love. Attrition is the rain, forming from pressure within the skies, high and low temperatures at Armageddon: yin and yang becoming earth’s tears. Accident is the rain, vilifying the evil of being from these two lessers of the skies, love is sought but never found or found at odd places: yin and yang becomes earth’s joy. Thus, rain is a lie, liar, lying, saying joy and love at the same time. But love is not from this world. It is not recognized, but named… “No” to the world’s belligerence. We know love is expressed by this action, yes… Thus, it’s not a lie. Love cannot be otherwise or we would’ve never crucified the Savior or our true loves for the world… Love cannot exist naked. It is always ready to be whipped, strangled, maimed as Jesus or a twice victimed Iraqui, the third world or as Salvadore Allende.* But I love the rain despite my self. It is within the reach of definitions but not confirmations. So, love like rain cannot be held hostage by human view nor divine postage. I love as it rains, I rain as I love. From here, in my prayer, let my love of rain be love. *Found in Voices of a People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove, and the now canonical historical work of the United States by the same Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States: “Watergate had made both the FBI and the CIA look bad---breaking the laws they were sworn to uphold, cooperating with Nixon in his burglary jobs and illegal wiretapping. In 1975, congressional committees in the House [of Representatives] and Senate began investigations of both the FBI and CIA…It was also learned from the investigation that the CIA---with the collusion of a secret Committee of Forty headed by Henry Kissinger—had worked to ”destabilize” the Chilean government headed by Salvadore Allende , a Marxist who had been elected president in one of the rare free elections in Latin America.” (pp.554). For a more balanced view on the complicity of Kissinger and his role in U.S foreign policy, moreover his role in the death of Allende, see or read the acclaimed movie or book: The Trials Henry Kissinger.

I dream a dream of skill, I gather pictures of best practice (methods best enacted off the couch.) I house, crisp corners, soaring beams and posts where gawkers marvel, ‘cos the high is feeling good. I see the woods and watch the owners. (What good grip they have! enough to claim what they could never care for- let the lessers sing their lives!) I drive a drive not fast enough for fastness-makers, flaunting logos, polished chrome, I drive a loan. None say it, none will ever hear these soft confessions to the “here” I hold right now in its un-good. I slip a “should” on, halfway, dumping it for snacks and cons - I run for miles to lose it on the lawn. And as I break, I pause to watch a bit to see how not to fail. I land in jail. The wardens never speak to me, the only copy of the key described in stories, but they’ve scattered every page. And every day I fail to reconstruct it out of naught, I age.

What Do You Do?
You made me gentle And passionate calm Yet you triggered my spark Like a riot rhyme bomb My explosion introversion Through the netherworld of fear To wag my tail and show my mane Every time you would appear And how I longed to feel your touch And drink from skulls of your oppressors I would try to save the world instead Of leveling your lessers Into servants that appease you On their knees to even see you As I breathe you in these poets And I teach them how to be you With your rebel goddess wrath And your diplomatic peace And a strength no man could equal And a ride no man could lease With all that Mother Nature power In your elemental waves So adrift in the emotions Of clandestine sea floor caves   Until you leave ‘em on their way Seeking out the very best Until they’re rising in the east As mythic dragons of the west A restless, willful reminiscence Of the past you found me lost in Learning how to make your enemies The ones I’m Holocaustin’

its all a sham lesser people with lesser worth the little child who hides behind mother's skirt and sticks out a tongue in awe and afraid of talent and status they could never have or reach never attainable they hide behind skirts poking out tongues and spewing snorts from ***** noses and when I rile them good or hit a very raw nerve the lily-livered drips try to produce responses that laughably fall off the mark and show even more dullness the duds and dullards, the pathetic unfulfilled poltroons the lessers who can't sustain anything real, bright and worthy The sham talent-less spine-less under-achievers full of weaknesses and inadequacies the women all know you are useless

We the Few stand below the many, trampled, and beaten, pushed down, and forgotten. We look up above and ask one thing, with what little pride left, a tear in our eyes, why? Because they hate us? Because they can? Because they choose too? Because...we are few? No more, not today, nor any more from now! I say to you, to us! Rally up and throw up the banner, sound the battle-cry! No more I say, no more! No more shall we have to live just to die! Today is new, so must we be! For we are the few, that the many must see! We'll call up the cry in the name of peace and justice for all, we shall then see, the righteous as it is, as justice stands blind and tall! Let the Liberty Bell Ring, for you and me! Let us, The Proud and Few!, Let us finally be free! Let me a-test to you, my fellow brothers and sisters, alone no longer we stand! For together we cry, hear our voices!, together hand-in-hand! But let us not be hypocritical, to even our oppressors, for what better are we than them, if we treat them like our lessers? So rally the troops, raise high the banner, sound the horns all-round, let each and every voice, sing high and low, the freedom sound. The tyrants shall fall, given time, and through the trials that'll be, for we shall make our names known, of the Few...that is We.

We the Few
The popular group They are a distinct chatter loop Starting new drama each day Being snotty and say their parents' cash is their pay Buying expensive things for the hell of it Riding in the new cars, though just a little bit Always talking in the halls To avoid them, kids walk into the walls The lesser kids are like prey While they are like a manta ray Always eating in information to be used The info helps keep the lessers abused And keeps the populars amused.
