"loans" poems
Tired of the ways of men Desperately I turned toward nature I watched a butterfly ascend Yet I'm a different nomenclature Of a solemn glacier Standing on my own In an arctic cone Not protected by the ozone So I search for a new home But can only find loans My venture for my own real estate Exposed me to the realest hate I'm the roaming gnome With a groaning tone All alone With a roaming phone So I can't call home My will I leave When still I see A killer bee Filling me Willingly Its invasion's Abrasions Left a sensation With a duration Of unending inflation On a descending station Of no impending relation I felt the nature Of a desolate crater When I met a great hater Who told me to get straighter So I could be a steel freighter Carrying my load on my back Without polluting the air I decided to cut him some slack Forgiving his impossible dare I must gather grace At a faster pace To finish this race Of a top notch Hot crotch Stopwatch Ticking down Into the ground Without a sound Or warning Of acid rain forming Until I see myself melting From the savage belting Of your death sting You called the best thing Like a divine blessing Only seen after ********** Like a politician deflecting For the constituents electing To forego dissecting The issue at hand By not taking a stand My world is crumbling Because of you And myself stumbling In society's glue As the sky is tumbling I see I'll lose Yet instead of rumbling It's love I choose

Human Nature
Behind all of the glamour Hidden by the glitz Under all the spray on tans And distracted by the **** Lies a Vegas like no other Not the one you wish to see The other side of Vegas Has a cost, it isn't free A parade of homeless people Far off strip are daily seen Heading for a bed and meal Away from where the grass is green The locals all accept it It's a darker part of town Where there's fewer painted smiles On this Las Vegas clown Every other building Is boarded up or framed In steel bar covered windows With no winners at the game The goal of all the walkers Is to get to the next day They can't afford to leave here They can't afford to stay Each walkway full of hawkers Selling water for a buck Passed out drunks all sleeping Hoping you will toss a buck Some saints and many sinners Came to find the life they lead Is not the one they looked for When they came here to fill their greed Don't look behind the curtain You will not like what you will find The darker side of Vegas Is not one that's in your mind A parade of desperate people Walk the streets each night alone Past the empty buildings Pass the bail bonds, guns and loans To truly see Las Vegas You have to venture off the strip Into a world of darkness And in truth, it's a short trip Behind the glitz and glamour Away from where the tourists go Is the dark side of Las Vegas That only few will ever know

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "Hopefully done with college" "Married with a couple of kids" "Buying my own house and starting a business" "No debt. Everything, student loans and car payments gone" The typical answers to that question Want to know mine? I never saw my future as bright Hell never thought I'll get this far I can see the end of my path Where do I see myself in five years? Depressed if I'm not already Homeless because of my pride Jobless because my stupidity No one to turn to because of my negativity Love is no where near me That's the last thing on my mind After food After drink After a roof over my brainless head There's too much going on No one will help me Why would they? It's all my own fault So the answer to your question In a different world Hopefully a better one After this one is behind me

I guess it's true. Drugs always have a price. The ******* took my sense of smell and voice, The ***** my sense of sight, judgement, and reality, The marijuana got rid of my beauty. But you, you took away My soul, My heart, My mind, My heart. You are the most expensive drug of them all. I gave you all this and it still wasn't enough, Loans were made, never returned, And here I am. An empty carcass addicted to you.

If I won millions in the lottery
When we think about the future we are weighed down by problems not our own with a need for solutions and hopeless debt Our generation is left with more loans and less degrees specialized jobs and old issues hateful ideas and new love When we think about the future we can see a new age filled with technology and so many bright dreams crushed by this flat world Our generation is left with heads bowed to a screen for hateful comments we see and kids afraid of what they really want to be

The Future Looks...
Whether it’s burning bridges with people you loved; We must always remember that our decisions will affect our futures; Nothing is more true than the fact that whatever goes around comes around; You are not immune to the cosmic forces of the crowd mind-decisions that you make; Don’t be surprised when reality catches back up with you and brings you to your knees; Be a good person, make right and independent decisions in your 20s,You’ll get further in life. We need to control the invincibility we all feel; It comes to both men and women and it destroys both; We feel the need to be the knight in shining armor for our lovers; As chivalrous as this may seem, I hate to break it to you in shouts; By setting yourself up for a losing battle, you’ve only ensured your misery; For the next few months in your 20s, find what rightfully belongs to you and no one else. If our check is for $9, then we’re most likely spending $30; Between credit cards, school loans and every other avenue; No doubt, our need for immediate gratification is worse than ever; The truth is it’s about making more money, not saving it in any bank; At the same time, if you have no means for expanding your revenue channels; Then you must be able to save a few dollars here and there while still in your 20s. Trying to act like the man rather than learning how to become one; If more time is spent pretending to be the person you want to be instead; Then you’ll sink in quick sand without even knowing it or even being told; A real man is willing to make sacrifices. If you aren’t down to put in the work; Then please don’t act like you are. You can enjoy the success when you actually attain it.; Be a man in your 20s, that is, being yourself, being a leader and being no one else on earth.

Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your 20s

Within each and every one of us is a unique culture: Ethnocentrism reaches just as far inward as it does outward: Just because academia has imposed it's own fascist, totalitarian, absolute definitions does not mean that it has final say: i postulate such adacemic-fetishism is merely a byproduct of propaganda pushed by Big Money rather than a genuine insitution of respectable edification: that is i see it as a mere appeal to authority; a well-known logical fallacy to those who are in the know. Tread lightly. Modern Academics seems to be yet another corrupt branch of Business; little more. Academic achievement is not equivocal to intellectual worth: a graduate's degree is moreso a status symbol than it is a credential anymore. 'T'is vile idolatry in lieu of an individual's personal philosophy; that's not to say it's absolutely worthless, but it may as well be in today's job market (unless it's a business degree!) Then again, that's just my opinion. i guess i oughtta shut up before Edu-nazis shut me down. Oops, did i type that out loud? I'm so sorry, you see, vhat i meant to say vas: Heil Stanford! Heil Harvord! Heil Berkley! Heil vhat i am told zu heil! Heil zhe publishing companies! Heil zhe holders of student loans! Heil egredious student debt in lieu of philosophical discourse, let alone progress! Heil vhat i see on TV! Heil ******* Heil alkohol! Heil gasoline! Do not qvestion zhe dogma; go back zu sleep, you sheep!

**** This ****
Dear Friends, this poem was composed many years ago and posted on ‘Poemhunter.com’. Time here is compared to the money lender and miser Shylock in Shakespeare’s ‘Merchant Of Venice’, where Shylock insisted on cutting out a pound of flesh from the merchant Bassanio, for having failed to pay back the loan taken from Shylock! Hope you like it, - Raj                 TIME THE GREAT USURER       TIME the great usurer, is a great miser too,       Always knows the cost of things to be paid       back by you!       It readily loans you the desired amount in       number of years.       Smilingly assures and allays all your doubts       and fears.       It makes the loan to appear like a free gratis,       So you hardly bother to take any notice!        But with the passage of growing years and life depleting with time,        In paying back your interests, you got to        default sometime.        Precisely at that moment, the usurer knocks        rather loud,        And through death takes back its’ principal        amount !               Alas, Time the great Shylock knows the cost        of everything.        When will it learn to appreciate the value        we attach to things?                                              -Raj Nandy, New Delhi.

TIME THE GREAT USURER !
Today I saw a frog, dried up from the heat close by I saw another, cracked upon the street I counted thirty four in all, mummified and dry Fifty feet from a dried out pond, I took some time to cry The pond was once so vibrant, full of turtles and of frogs But with the drought now here, you could count all of the logs A stench so strong, it burned your eyes, if you chose to get near Decomposing life, is all that's left, the pond is dead I fear The pond, another victim of the crippling, hellish heat Without the rain, it is just a monster we can't beat The farmers put a spin on, give a positive sort of line While they have to put their livestock down, their harvest die-ing on the vine The fields are bare, the ground is dust, no life from it will come You see the farmers trying everything, while we just stand there numb Fans are running in the barns to keep the livestock cool But the heat, it just gets stronger, you can't even use the pools You could say they've dropped the middle man, as they grow dehydrated meals The kiddie park and water park, have no water for their seals You see the livestock out in the fields, looking for some grass to munch on But, with the heat taking it all away, their field of grass has now gone The cows, no longer vibrant, a leather coat on skin and bones The farmers losing money, they're defaulting on their loans The barnyards running empty, you can't even see a turkey The cows themselves are so dried up, that the butcher calls them jerky A break might come, the tv said, with a cold front moving through But the grounds too hard to take the rain, what extra damage will it do? The end result is prices will go up on all we eat It's this ********* global warming, the creator of this heat Look around at where you live, go and check your ponds and streams Take note if they are die-ing, this is real, not in your dreams Take action where it's needed, conserve water where you can This is not a local problem, it affects the whole **** land I saw a frog this morning...he was dead...it made me cry.......

tuesday night
1. A star-shaped patch of snow, achingly white, rests against the base of the little white pine, wrapped in glittering golds and reds, gifts for the Christ Child. No claw or paw or beak or wing has touched the snow. Only a hidden pitch of grass pushes it skyward. It shirks its shrinkage north of the pine. It will not winnow until the bright star burns. *I pass the snow and think of nothing*. 2. Lightning split the hide of the 80-year-old oak that shaded our little tan house each summer. Its bark ripped apart like wallpaper, life leeching out of its crooked limbs in sap-soaked streams of sorrow, making room for the little white pine to thrive in the dead of winter. *Nature is not our friend*. 3. The pine prays to preserve some piece of the oak I used to love. Its needles, like shark’s teeth, fend off friend and foe alike, granting it the right to grow wherever it likes, even here, at the foot of giants. Dead, the pin oak loans its beauty to no one, boasts only of its hard, straight wood, an abiding abode for birds and squirrels and barking boys. I climb to its top each Christmas, straining toward the Epiphany star. *The tree sways, and I think of nothing*.  4. The burgeoning pine pines for such power. You cannot cut it without exposing its darkened knots, like aging spots on my hands and face. It rises bright with anemone-like cones dappled on its coat of single color:       evergreen,       ever young.       Ever gone, my pilgrim oak. I stretch toward the star of Bethlehem, dreaming my way to Heaven, saying No to the punishing star of snow below. Hanging high above the Earth, I sense the Christ Child in my branches. *Wet, wild grasses brush His cradle, push me skyward, His star my home*.

Epiphany
1. A star-shaped patch of snow, achingly white, rests against the base of the little white pine, wrapped in glittering golds and reds, gifts for the Christ Child. No claw or paw or beak or wing has touched the snow. Only a hidden pitch of grass pushes it skyward. It shirks its shrinkage north of the pine. It will not winnow until the bright star burns. *I pass the snow and think of nothing*. 2. Lightning split the hide of the 80-year-old oak that shaded our little tan house each summer. Its bark ripped apart like wallpaper, life leeching out of its crooked limbs in sap-soaked streams of sorrow, making room for the little white pine to thrive in the dead of winter. *Nature is not our friend*. 3. The pine prays to preserve some piece of the oak I used to love. Its needles, like shark’s teeth, fend off friend and foe alike, granting it the right to grow wherever it likes, even here, at the foot of giants. Dead, the pin oak loans its beauty to no one, boasts only of its hard, straight wood, an abiding abode for birds and squirrels and barking boys. I climb to its top each Christmas, straining toward the Epiphany star. *The tree sways, and I think of nothing*.  4. The burgeoning pine pines for such power. You cannot cut it without exposing its darkened knots, like aging spots on my hands and face. It rises bright with anemone-like cones dappled on its coat of single color:       evergreen,       ever young.       Ever gone, my pilgrim oak. I stretch toward the star of Bethlehem, dreaming my way to Heaven, saying No to the punishing star of snow below. Hanging high above the Earth, I sense the Christ Child in my branches. *Wet, wild grasses brush His cradle, push me skyward, His star my home*.

i can't believe i'm living out my life's 10 seconds of stupidity with an un-payable debit account security of future credit, loans, debt and moaning... **** me double twice blind with a joker in hand... of course i'm stupid, i got educated in a world that pays you back with menial labour, to look pretty... seriously, don't do the stupidest thing imaginable and get yourself a university degree, unless you're a woman, that's fine, you'll get to meet and voluntarily wet your ****** with the next president of Romania, but we need idiot mechanics, and believe me, i'd rather oil up car pistons like stroking giraffe necks of Myanmar women.... from **** generals cited through to Epicurus' citation... believe me, i wish i was smarter, most of posthumous fame is a regard of obstructive i.q., we were believed to not take offence at our exposure to systematisation which educated both thief and banker... none of the two differ... both excusable buffers... we trusted people... trust was our biggest idiotic remark... and now the earth in spin... for endless maxims: it's like that... and that's the way it is; no wonder i end up watching serial killer documentaries.

Giraffes and Maynmar women
I sat across from a man made of millions. From his shiny black patent shoes to his dolphin patterned socks, and his slicked back gray blonde hair, a color so elusive Midas himself would find fault with designating blame, I saw treachery. If character were based on dress I would assign worth every time. But people don't work that way: you must listen to what they say. When he mentioned God and fate in the same breath as commissions and unlimited potential financially, I went back to the socks. Imagining the dolphins desperately trying to find someone else's socks, someone less driven by green pieces of paper easily set aflame by a deranged individual, someone like me, who would not be so ludicrous, but entertained the notion, would have more idealistic pure thought framing. While the world runs in bounding strides to freedom from debt, from loans, from taxes, and money....stuff, so that every "thing" materializes as a personal possession and retirement happens at the unseemly age of 35, but who will provide a home for the dolphins? I would not throw my socks away as soon as the threads began to bare. I would find some cerulean blue thread and weave in the ocean.

a message from the dolphins
We live in a society were the physical world shadows the metaphysical. We live in a society were money precedes life. Students are broke(n) like the loans that imprison them. Death and taxes are inevitable, but it seems that taxes are more of a threat then death itself. The greenback alludes us into becoming vicious consumers praying on the wealth of others. We live in a society turned upside down. Broke(n).

Broke(n)
How fast a vegetable heart can perish? A toddler growing like a seed of corn Planted on a fertile ground So cherished, Like a man after the king's heart. Not knowing nature has a different plan against him Or men of the underworld are strongly against his being And too desperate to shower unending tears on her fresh mother's smiling cheeks He was stolen away by death. I can't forget that dark scaring night Where all the heavenly bodies were dead asleep. The echoes of his granny shout still live in my head A shout she made like she just realised she has been praying into deaf ears The prowess of which I plucked him off my mother laps to my chest Still baffles me The race we ran to the empty darkness outside Reminds me of the speed of a certain Bolt from Jamaica. In prayers, speed and tears We continue our race to a center for health care Too much fluid is lost, the doctor summited and aided us to continue our race for more competence. Competence often too difficult to find in this part of Africa. To cut it all short, competence was found Treatment was made Praises bell began to ring in our hearts for we thought he was already saved. Yes, the next morning, he moved, smiled and uses hands to play! But the noon that follows the whole story changed And the ceremony of mourning began. His spirited effort wasn't enough and he had to leave us, No, he was jealously taken away from us Just weeks before his first year birthday. The stain of his tears still lives on my mother pillow Reminding her that she was a grand mother for eleven months and a week ago. His happy face still stand in a picture at a corner of her mother mirror Recalling the fact that she has lost a gem to the world of ghosts. His father striving to remain a man as he pushes to get loans To pay up his medical  bills from family and folks even from supposing foes. The pain of his departure never cease to add Bitter sound to my heart beat, Though forgotten how cute he was when he was alive But I never fail to remember how cute he became in dead indeed. His demise was a script Unseen, Till date it remain a prank to me. Amidst all the experiences I have been forced to face This is one of the scripts I wish it was never written nor played.
