"liabilities" poems
* *To lessen liabilities, to lower costs and make the world more, more productive; exacting...* *To make everything easier, a life more fulfilling... ...more predictable, perhaps, more equal than now.* *To eliminate sadness, anger, depression, anxiety. To work less at everything, they will do it all for me.* The planet will be saved by the extirpation of human activity... ...for who needs humans to trade stock? ...who needs humans to make widgets? ...who needs humans to clean things? Who needs humans at all?

Picnic by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch My friends laugh elsewhere on the beach while I sit here, alone, counting the waves, writing and rewriting your name in the sand ... Confession by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Your image overwhelmed my vision. As the long nights passed, I became obsessed with your visage. Then came the moment when I quietly placed my lips to your picture ... Rain by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Why shiver alone in the rain, maiden? Embrace the one in whose warming love your body and mind would be drenched! There are no rains higher than the rains of Love, after which the bright rainbows of separation will glow with the mysteries of hues. My Body's Moods by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch I long for the day when you'll be obsessed with me, when, forgetting the world, you'll miss me with a passion and stop complaining about my reticence! Then I may forget all other transactions and liabilities to realize my world in your arms, letting my body's moods guide me. In that moment beyond boundaries and limitations as we defy the conventions of veil and turban, let's try our luck and steal a taste of the forbidden fruit! Moon by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch All of us passengers, we share the same fate. And yet I'm alone here on earth, and she alone there in the sky! Vanity by Parveen Shakir loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch His world is so simple, so very different from mine. So distinct—his dreams and desires. He speaks rarely. This morning he wrote: "I saw some lovely flowers and thought of you." Ha! I know my aging face is no orchid ... but how I wish I could believe whatever he says, however momentarily!

Income is an intangible, Taxes are an intangible, Neither exists right now, Only the promise of it in the future... That's what credit is... a bet against a promise. Which means all of nothing, since it hasn't happened yet, all credit is risk of one degree or another, ...based on tolerance or gumption. If all people are, "risky," then all credit is risk, none can be more credit-worthy; less risky... So why not turn future liabilities into income, instead of future income into a liability? Hmm... Impossible? Yeah, ...since anything that gives ordinary people power must be impossible. Jesus must not believe in individual power. The Founding Fathers must not have believed in individualism. No, ...only the state backed by a selected wealthy few should determine everyone's fate by economy. Only a few should have it all.... ...no opportunity for anyone else; the weak, poor, untalented, ugly, simple, ordinary, dumb, handicapped; those ones don't matter. Just NFL players count. Only singers and actors count. Only bankers and doctors matter. Jesus would agree. Makes so much sense?

Solving Unemployment
I'm one of the optimistic person you'll ever meet In the realistic world ever existing I will lay all possible cards from the Beginning 'til the end with the options Chances & risk Unfortunately, the negative thoughts Keeps on flushing me down Drowning all the positive ones Once, it was all ocean full of positivity The next thing, its a puddle swallowed By the soil of liabilities

* This is being referred as qualitative summary of a person’s spiritual conditions at the final point of a life time, including his moral values, spiritual liabilities and the net worth as assets in his or her Holiness or Godliness. This is shown at the left column. The first part of the life’s balance sheet shows all the sinful deeds or belongings. The second part shows all the bountiful gracefulness as liabilities. This is shown at the right column. This is also called as the statement of condition of a person while on his last and final confiscation or end of life. Both left and right columns should match or tally to qualify for a life in the next world. * BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI [email protected] www.williamsji.com www.williamsgeorge.com www.williamsmaveli.com

The Balance Sheet of Life ! (A Prose Poem)
I have a dream! I have a dream, To the racial discriminators, said Martin Luther King, I have a dream! I have a dream! To the evil-creating economists, I warn and ring. Globe witness hunger, inequality poverty and unemployment The world turns out to be bitter, To all of you, I write this letter. To create a world relieved from these and turn better. I am a mad aspiring economist, a fool, Searching for the right tool, You turned the world with full of mess, People are left with nothing less. To the world, you gave theories, Pushed us into a vicious cycle of injuries, About your theories, you boasted, It has created a few ruling and bloated. Most of you worked as economic hitmen, Turned victim laymen to fighting gunmen. To the realities, your theory is distant, Served no solution to the dying peasants, To the few, we remain a psychological slave and servants, Tuned our lives to a depended migrant. With your development lecture, You have killed the entire nature, In the name of ventures, corporates turned vulture, Hunted and looted our generations’ future. We lived a self-reliant community, You killed us with imposed liability, Our lives are now placed in intensive casualty, The word that remains imagination still is equality. We lost our humanity and identity, In your eyes, we are just a market and commodity, Your play with scarcity, was a mere futility, We finally became a society, filled with atrocity. Your useless lectures of development, Put us under frightening & irrecoverable unemployment, For a few, you got us into a deep-rooted enslavement, So, now for you instead, we make a replacement. To my questions, you neglected and ran, In your eyes, I am foolish stupid common man, To you short-sighted range, I say I will bring in a change! Today, I may remain lower and mere viewer, A day will come, where you will stand to answer, Writing a new rule, I would seize your beloved positions, This will be my lifetime mission and ambition. I say with all my limited experience, I will put a test to all your conscience, Are you just a fat-big corporate’s hand? With people will you always stand? I am not an economist, I am neither an egotist, I proclaim! I proclaim! I am a revolutionary economist, I know you will fit me a label, I am sure I will be an economic rebel, A rebellious economist. I dream a world without huge inequalities, I dream a world free from imposed liabilities, I dream a world without poverty and disparities, I finally dream for becoming an economist with no ambiguities.

The two doctors remained busy, Professional lives & societal liabilities, They had much to look after including drinks. They did not care even a bit for the only child, Professional calls for societal nursing, The two ignored their daughter. She sent an email to her father, It said that she had enjoyed it once, And she won't refrain herself having it again. And reading the mail her parents were angry, Father forgot relations & killed her, Mother tried tampering proofs.

The seagulls and the wild birds enjoy the ***** sandy While taking in the early sunshine here in Coney Island I remember a long time ago, when I had the sea fever I would walk bare feet in the sand, and tossed small pebbles in the ocean Rex my dog, would chase the seagulls and wild birds away As he enjoy his morning walk with me The cool breeze would massages my face and the hot sun Would quickly dry up the salty vapors, which made my soul rejoice each time we took that stroll along the white sandy beaches on the Island of Bim Seeing with the eyes of a poet’s is a gift my thoughts, and my unusual language, The world sees us poet and author as liabilities A true emotional poet has a way of making you believe that the “Sky is falling, so he or she may suggests that you prop up sky with the clouds What’s in a word, besides noun and verbs and adjectives?

A Poet's Eyes
..somehow a worldwide trading system on future emissions worked? What if we changed, "industry," with, "humanity?" What if a trading-credits system existed for individual income tax against future projected earnings? Al Gore was wrong... Imagine being out of work and gaining credits against future tax liabilities? ...by working for a charity IS THE MONEY REAL? DOES IT EXIST BEFORE YOU MAKE IT? If you are a CCX member trading on Wall Street then; YES! Why should all finance be about struggle and not about love or charity? DO YOU AGREE WITH CONSTANT STRUGGLE? THE CENTRAL BANK PRINTS MONEY FROM NOTHING... Americans can do anything; ...because we control the production of, "money." "Money...."

What if Al Gore Was Right?
Do you remember that date, It was 27 April the year '13, And it was really very late. We had a communication-gap cropped-up, An unavoidable communication-gap it was, Some misunderstandings had cropped-up. Though both had our respective liabilities, I had been overtly angry much to your fears, I'm still sorry for what I said had brought tears. I had lamely prophesized in anger, When we had a no-fun word-war, I had said very dramatically, That you'll be married, Exactly 7 years, 7 months & 7 days later. Even you yourself were upset at that time, And we didn't talk for many days. You felt cheated & even I felt scandalized. We knew that this tiff will have to end one day, So we sub-consciously thought we'd test ourselves. Maybe we knew that it'll end someday if not that day. Because we are like our favourites Tom & Jerry, Fighting very seriously but loving all the way along, So probably that too is an indispensable part of love! We have laughed it over and left that tiff back, But hey that prophecy must come true! Not at all like that you should worry about it, About having to marry somebody else, It will be me only who marries you!

The Ledger
The unbearable pain of rejection We've all experienced this at least once As if you're placed in a freezing plane Bare, alone, and insane Your heart is dissected Cut into bits and pieces Open and infected What's going on? I thought I had it figured out Not an ounce of doubt A steady foothold With a heart unable to mold The inability to control your emotions Running high and proud Yet you're the coward that suffers An infatuation like no other I mean you're at this blind Someone captures your insecurities and will make you unwind The lies, the false promises Not to mention their accomplice, you. Already aware of all liabilities Left to rot with wonder of endless possibilities.

Lost Cause
Desperately grabbing on to imaginary safety, hoping that maybe just maybe, they'll save me. This is no virtual reality, but it's hard to see reality when the fast pacing of ghosts and goblins are racing to neglect you as if you weren't ever here, to begin with... This endless stress I'm feeling is a confession of my LACK of pity because I feel like it's fitting for this circular way of ending Spinning in this pattern Fending for myself on an endless pasture Demons and shadows, I call those the normal Opposing humanity that lacks reality Blinded by the constant wall we bring together Formally restraining the legs, because we think it's better "What's the weather" A constant concoction of tales and tallies for the repeating day Like a feather, the weight of these lifeless questions couldn't keep the ocean at bay "What else is there to say" It's not about what you say that will matter anyway, Although the power of words is often underestimated, Keep in mind whom invests in you and what you say, For those will be you're biggest assets and liabilities. But if you insist, say what you value, and value what you say, Because your actions will amount to what comes from them at the end of the day, Constantly tiptoeing over words like an *** drunk and stumbling over grass We value the past, abusing it until we've drained it of any real mass it once had, excusing what we do, based upon the past Forgetting that the past is so close yet fastly becoming the last player in this race in time, What kind of journey must we take to pick what we say, what we do, what we feel, what we value, giving our value to ourselves, excusing someone else's hell and making it about an experience that we still dwell on, our experience forgetting the rotating reality around us never really rotated around us, but it around it, around it, which we are apart of, silently sending chaos into its sight as we see fit fright...we should feel because this multiple concoction of words is really a riddle, hidden message, pleading for safety, which may never come, fiddling my thumbs as I write this passage, Paving a plea that may one day be seen and actually pondered... Or maybe left, neglected, as expected, not graced even lightly with another soul's wonder.

screams of systematic repetition tuned to the key of C rejuvenating the pulse of the pulp on the floor I found the time space continuum on my back porch swing stepping toward the screeching sirens revealing the past scene by scene Timing the sun in wrist-watch format the liabilities not mine the doormat said "welcome" you catch my eyes glaring, hastily waiting for your tears to run your feet follow in suspended motion Gunning for the hallway laundry chute only to find the triggers on safety the notion alone is enough resetting the sun dials with steady hands of anxiety attacking the knobs at their fastens My subtle brutality breaks as I awake on the kitchen floor while the screeching of the sirens pull me in

How Many Licks Does it Take to get to the Center of a Gigawatt?
Rakhi- The thin invisible thread ties you to my heart Although we are far away, You're remembered on special day! Rarely we meet, Occasionally I greet! Infrequent visits, But the bond exists. Occupied with liabilities, You figure last in the priorities! Since ages, the thread not tied, Everytime, the plan not materialized. Feeling sad for absence in your needs, But deep inside my heart bleeds. Nothing else I could say, For your wellbeing, I just pray! Understand! I am for apart, But a thin thread ties you to my heart!

Rakhi...a thread for life
You imagine yourself to be the thickest tree Streaming flourishly with bright green feathers Down your arms into your wonderous oak, so free Is where you imagine your polished banters Dreams like fantasies, dancing in the wind Swaying to a rhythmic, yet succulent beat We all fall victim to its lure, in our mind That which we follow appears only in the heat We imagine ourselves like we're singular, alone The voices around are calling, yelling for our release In a melodic manner, the most beautiful tone We can't break from our cells, but we can keep the peace Our knowledge may seem futile, like a useless tool That won't take us any closer to our freedom But we will rise up, our hope is no fool That which we know, will only increase our wisdom Others believe in the purity of our hallowed earth The secrets of our hidden pleasures From the beginning, its noble birth We've been greedily hoarding the treasures From the reserviors of our fate, have we foretold We are responsible, and follow our liabilities Knowing nothing by the time we grow old That which is young has endless possibilities

That Which Is Young
* Let our life, be an Accounts ledger birth is it’s first opening balance, death, of course  the closing balance Intelligence is your assets (Right col.) foolishness, worthless  ideas, liabilities (left col.) Heart beats are the current assets soul seems to be an intangible asset Brain is your permanent Investment valuable thoughts are current A/C gaining  success are like stock & trade Friends are your general reserves Good behaviors are Interest accumulated Love and affection, your maximum profit, divided by 50% as below:- Affection is gross profit, Love, definitely net profit children are  earned bonus. education is your brand name Qualification is the patent Knowledge is secured debentures work experience is premium account The balance sheet should be equal and to be tallied on both sides of life without any errors. * BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI Email:[email protected]

The Life Ledger
Right now my life is going places that I can't even describe. I couldnt wish better than this, I earned this cause I tried. I earned this cause my work is hard, and my words are quite sincere. For poetry has been my life, and my dream for many years. And even in my writing you can see a drastic change.. 'Cause I dropped liabilities, and im writing free of rage. The letters flow with passion that's descirbed by love and grace, a way to take my anger and put greatness in its place. A way of life I'll make of this, and I'm headed on that track. So if I loose some "friends" that's fine, I still won't dare look back. Maturity comes gradually, everyone learns this in time. And I don't judge, or hold a grudge, but that show's ive done the climb. I've grown into a woman that can over come some pain, 'cause see these words i write today from pain will be my gain. Inspiration has many forms, I just harness it with rhyme. No matter what the outcome, I know my writing will be prime. See money isn't the goal I crave, but recongnition at it's best. For life has put me through qutie a huge amount of tests. But each one that is thrown at me has faded in the past, cause one thing that i know is that my writing will always last. So be happy for everything youve said to break me down. For all your words will make my work easier than it sounds. For every single hater, an artist will be born. And every page they write, will live longer than your scorn. So thank you for my wisdom, and thank you for your hate. And thank you oh so ******* much, for making my life great.

Up to the limit As they wish those bad things Dreams haunting at mornings Yes I dodged with excuses Pushing to the limits Yes I bailed out from a job Hesitated to work Just a hunch for liabilities to come Only for this time Hustling for the next time Hope there is a next time Like in queues over me Though I need a lifting Lifting Myself Up to the limit

Lifting Myself
I will always be a monster. Life sentences you harshly of an existence without clarity, Without rarity, and with an all-encompassing scrutiny. What becomes of a man who was blessed by the light, Only to learn that his shadow grew far bigger? What becomes of a beast that was tamed, a bird of hermes, What of the heart that was shattered on its day? Defeated, unbecoming and undeserving of love, That is what a monster eventually becomes, If I were to shout about the calamities, Empires would line up to deny the atrocities, Proving once and for all that it all fell under liabilities, For when a monster begets a conscious, It tears his soul apart, Yet only those who revel in darkness, Can truly cast it aside, And when I shout from the mountain tops: Do you not see what I've done? Do you not see that it is I who suffers? The light whispers: what of me and my tale? Why is it that I see you moving like a snail? To which the darkness responds: I cannot change after all, If after moving mountains and worlds you believe so, If after all that I've endured and sacrificed, If after all this time, it was you I hurt the most, Then it is true. I will always be a monster.
