"misers" poems
Reconstituting globalization to re-imagine democracy. By throwing out scale we the economizers are forced to turn into misers and the satisfisers might rid themselves of their pacifiers. It's all about story and consuming someone else's turns you into an actor, an automaton. Was it prescribed? Were you imbibed? Then you are impaled on an un-truth and living out a script that is not your own. Time to get ruthless and cut those strings that lead us to, plead us to buy, buy, buy (and cry, cry, cry). Of course, we might find a guru to lead us to promises of promised lands but this ain't the way to Yahweh Unlock the path that lies within. I'm talking 'bout multi-spectrum bridges resonating in frequencies that ring true for you: this is the story of Power Geometry re-constituted

Power Geometry
We two boys together clinging, One the other never leaving, Up and down the roads going—North and South excursions making, Power enjoying—elbows stretching—fingers clutching, Arm’d and fearless—eating, drinking, sleeping, loving, No law less than ourselves owning—sailing, soldiering, thieving, threatening, Misers, menials, priests alarming—air breathing, water drinking, on the turf or the sea-beach dancing, Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing, Fulfilling our foray.

A for Austerity
Oh love! that stronger art than Wine, Pleasing Delusion, Witchery divine, Wont to be priz'd above all Wealth, Disease that has more Joys than Health; Though we blaspheme thee in our Pain, And of Tyranny complain, We are all better'd by thy Reign. What Reason never can bestow, We to this useful Passion owe: Love wakes the dull from sluggish ease, And learns a Clown the Art to please: Humbles the Vain, kindles the Cold, Makes Misers free, and Cowards bold; And teaches airy Fops to think. When full brute Appetite is fed, And choakd the Glutton lies and dead; Thou new Spirits dost dispense, And fine'st the gross Delights of Sense. Virtue's unconquerable Aid That against Nature can persuade; And makes a roving Mind retire Within the Bounds of just Desire. Chearer of Age, Youth's kind Unrest, And half the Heaven of the blest!

As the apple bursting bellies beryl tides and as the apple lucid blue, a wasted gut and as the apple a stitch of skin of rude thoughts and obscene gestures of ****** fingers of smiley lies of cats in graveyards and bleary eyes of ***** misers of the foolish ***** of the four-legged wanton silver tongued and as the apple a boy sits and worries after my ugly twin.

Song (Love)
The doors of the churches and the schools are closed. No decent people are on the streets, Where we see sad crimes and horrible abuses. Many windshields are broken by badly thrown stones. Violence rains in the streets and in the corridors; No dogs or cats dared to vent outside. A few meager birds, on the branches, stare with disdain And amazement several thugs and charlatans with masked faces. It is sad to see these heinous crimes. How awful! There is a hostile war? One wonders which party will win? We can hear the voice of an old man coming somewhere Who shouts faintly, "We are all poor victims, sad tramps, Who are committing suicide for bad politicians, for misers. " Not too far, we can see a crazy woman with a close friend, Both in rags. It's a nightmarish image that proves That the country has become a hell on earth. On the radio, they say That some ships of the United States Navy are in the harbor. What are they doing on our territory? We flee, Or we do not flee? We cannot. Everyone is in prison. Violence snows blood on the streets of a tropical country, where fear Reigns. Children do not dare to play in the streets, where terror Hisses like snakes, like machine guns of the enraged demons. No war is civil or civilized; war among the same people is also violent And nefarious. My God, things are very bad in the streets nearby. Violence is raining and everyone is crying. Victims are everywhere at bay, Waiting for the arrival of the good angels, who shall come perhaps in a few months. Copyright © June 2019, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.

If by dull rhymes our English must be chain'd, And, like Andromeda, the Sonnet sweet Fetter'd, in spite of pained loveliness; Let us find out, if we must be constrain'd, Sandals more interwoven and complete To fit the naked foot of poesy; Let us inspect the lyre, and weigh the stress Of every chord, and see what may be gain'd By ear industrious, and attention meet: Misers of sound and syllable, no less Than Midas of his coinage, let us be Jealous of dead leaves in the bay wreath crown; So, if we may not let the Muse be free, She will be bound with garlands of her own.

If By Dull Rhymes Our English Must Be Chain'd
The public should be wiser, our wealth controlled by misers. Breed more sheep for the pasture, bow down before the master. When it comes to worldly knowledge, you don't need to go to college. Scare tactics promote the system, tie us down in neo-serfdom. An age in great need of regression, back before the planets oppression. We all get weaker by the hour, lets rise up and take back the power. So let us tear up all the concrete, we will once again sow the Earth. Rip the ruling class from their seat, chaos will bring us our rebirth.

Broken hearts are to be feared. Mind over matter, love before trust. You hate your parents? I hate mine too Let's bathe in our misendemors as love and matter crumble before our broken-hearted feet. We trust each other like love never did. This is how we live. Misers amongst misery. They all run in fear.

A Mine there is no Man would own
it takes us years to find out how our body works what it can feel, smell, touch, see, hear how we can move its limbs what hurts it, what makes it feel good more years are spent discovering the fathoms of our soul from murky depths to lofty heights the scales of feelings, pain, excitement love, joy, jealousy, despair, all our nuanced sensitivities then we explore the layers of our mind’s infinite potential its constant work of making sense from the reports of all our senses so we believe we understand our worlds, imagine new ones, phantasize about the old when after all these years we harbor some illusion our long experience might be enough to straighten all confusion chances are good we recognize that all we are is knowledge-misers we have grown old, but not much wiser

work in progress
Bleeding inside Like a clock, each tick A silent sob, converted to noise Noise that isn’t sound Isn’t important All it is Is relief from the silence. We want to be loved We want to be found. Each of us, alone as we are, Unique, longing to be the same, Longing to be together. We love each other, Give all we have away Fall in love with everything We lay our desperate eyes on -- The hills, the sky, the sea We forget the spin of the earth And the scythe of the end And the burning words has been For a little while Consumed in the beauty Of a soft summer evening Glowing in the palace of memory, Locked away for safekeeping. We are misers of happiness We bargain for empty joy All we are, fleeting Hollow. Echoing in the winds of time, Singing and laughing Silently. We are unique. We want to fit in. To be inside, to be known. And so we act like we are. Like everything’s okay. Like a little girl dresses up like a princess, Because that’s what she wants to be. And for a little while, we’re happy. But then we have to grow up, Then we have to change, and find Something different. But we want something that lasts Through the years Through the centuries and eons, Because our immortal souls Long for the solid horizon Of this storm-tossed sea. What keeps you here? Why do you keep treading water, Keep looking around, Like a ship will come soaring out of the fog To rescue you? Do you want to be rescued? Or is the silence of the summer day Locked away inside you Good enough? Are you good enough? Is that all you want to be? I want to be known. Knowing is not enough anymore Anyone can know something, can look in. I want to be inside Accepted, held To know what I’ve never known To walk along a glassy shore With one who loves me. To be forgiven, always and completely Forgiven what I am. But I don’t know how to say it It feels heavy and immaterial Like the silence in between the words When the words don’t say anything But suddenly they have meaning. Between the moments you’re Totally immersed in the living world With all those people Suddenly you stop Suddenly you’re alive You breathe And see You’re not alone.

Each button Of the elevator Is lamented with the misers Of religions rejects To see the Face of a man Forgotten in time is To look in the mirror Every waking morning alive And well until you are no longer The centipede creeps Like rain wet fingers in the In the depths of a mournful jungle, Swearing that the good times are ahead Of them if they can just survive this summertime Entranced, we mention Gods but in our Dreams only can Imagine ourselves Freud said Something like that But he's dead Long gone Living in books To be: Misinterpreted Misspelled Misused & Manufactured For future generations Of blood thirsty swine Wiping their ***** with Hundred dollar bills and Ingesting 50 cent pieces Just for the hell of it When the night finally falls And love subliminally dies The circus will stay open & The ferris wheel will continue To spin and spin and spin I like the Way you Brush your Hair after the Nightingale sings I like the Way you Say you Never hated Until You Met me I like the Way you Make up things That are Seemingly true But when the Do needs to be done The only way You act Is Blue And the separation Of ourselves Is left To the open road The naked toad The unmentionable node God's broken big toe "The Devil made me stub it," The friar said to brother John, "We got To get out of here, we don't Have very long." Press my linens with The soft ****** hands of angels Let me pray for my own sins My own low down ***** miseries As we walk to the top of the hill We think we are entering the right realm There are secrets in the stones In the rivers Within the leaves and the branches Of every living tree Listen Hear And learn To believe

Hidden meanings foreshadow the gradient eminence off campus, Stampless letters to be sent to thine dearest of ones!! Mother's hold thy daughter's, for you've lost your youngest son!!!! Extensive Colgate frames to cover thy soulgaited plains, Where fewest of animals hath roamed!! Your caught in scrimmage, Still Soo unsure if your found or lost at home!!! Paceth back to and forth as far as thy walls will take you, Where reprobate minds will break you, Where loan sharks will rewrite tunes, Sharking is their key to Finnish game!!! They feeleth no Elysium, Their one to thy flame!!!!! Trilateral thinking freely turns negative, Primitive to all known consistencies, Bleeding at thy gums? Third world indecently!!! Misconstrue thine own miserly pull, Galoot of what's not thine own!!!!!

misers of plethora!!!
her words laid out before me like a feast of the fanciful mind and her inner demons like ravens of the soiled soul hold themselves at the ready with wary eyes her words spill in slow honey smooth on the minds tongue and leaves an aftertaste like mull wine leaves one lightheaded and without inhibition i become a drunkard of her thought forever lounging near her lips in my mind waiting for the intoxications to begin my own words come like the unshaven behemoth like the fair maidens foul brother my conversation a meal with dance of the clumsy attempt each step has a sticky note of scrawled apology attached like new lovers trying too hard being overly tender with eachothers words her heart has spoken its mind and she feels childish recanting its written in stone meanings so she follows silently behind with her head hanging low trying to be picture perfect in the pliant girlfriend role the inner demons like ravens of my own soiled soul each moment spent like a misers coin harpie fingers oiled grip on the narrow metal slipping ever so slowly past the eye each day i sit here and watch as the sun settles like dust onto the deadpan horizon each day i pray fervently that i find a better phrase than the one i live

Was Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens' Christmas Carol purely fictitious? No, Scrooges live today, Equally greedy, cold and ambitious. They represent Scrooge before He earned our admiration and saw That human compassion came only after His ice-cold heart had begun to thaw. His transformation showed him his former Cruel disregard for humanity And let him see that miserliness Was nothing but a heartless insanity. Modern Scrooges fail to see The light of compassion that brightly outshines them. Their greed prevents them from seeing the moral Bankruptcy that clearly defines them. They couldn't care less about The hard-working and struggling masses. Their main concern is that each law That benefits the wealthy passes. Some of these Scrooges you will find Working in Congress, eagerly serving Wealthy donors who give them money And feel as though they're more deserving. Creating laws to make their pockets Overflow: that's their aim. To them the parasitical poor Deserve bitter contempt and blame. One wonders if these greedy misers Find it hard to resist the temptation Of saying, "Then why not let them die And decrease the surplus population?" “Aren't there workhouses?” and “Aren't there prisons?” Are what these Scrooges appear to say. “Concerns of the poor are not our business; Why can’t they just go away?” Ebenezer Scrooge was lucky: His transformation showed him the light. Will wealthy Scrooges running this country Discover compassion and be less tight? -by Bob B (12-28-17)

One wonders if these greedy misers Find it hard to resist the temptation Of saying, "Then why not let them die And decrease the surplus population?" “Aren't there workhouses?” and “Aren't there prisons?” Are what these Scrooges appear to say. “Concerns of the poor are not our business; Why can’t they just go away?” Ebenezer Scrooge was lucky: His transformation showed him the light. Will wealthy Scrooges running this country Discover compassion and be less tight? -by Bob B (12-28-17)

One night after work A bunch of the guys in the call center Invited me out for drinks/ice cream/book group Or something And though I was sure it was a set up To get back at me For having squishy shoes and a dry wit I went along First we went to a tiger-kitten fight I advised betting on the tiger But they bet on the hundred kittens ranged against the representative of Siberia But the kittens lazed where they were And the tiger fell asleep No fight We all got our money back I said I bet we can win at something And so we went to a horse race Lined up was a cayuse, an appaloosa, a Claybank Dun, a Tennessee walking horse, even a Przewalski's horse (aka a Dzungarian) But the equine competitors just stood in their places And we were told: "The race isn't to see which one is fastest. It's to see which one is most long-lived." A crowd stood around Waiting to see which one would drop first But we got tired And went to a football game Between the El Paso Patrones And the Gun Barrel City Daggers Somehow the ball got lost somewhere Disappeared into the ground At least some went digging for it Or floated up in the sky Some went jumping for it But a man who wore a size 15 volunteered his left shoe as replacement And the game resumed The El Paso Patrones winning by one-fourth of a point I then bid my workmates good-bye Surprised I hadn't been set up for some sort of humiliation And went sauntering somewhere Until I found size 15 footprints of a man hopping on one foot in the mud I idly followed them until I came to the ravine that separates misers who hoard silver from seekers who sift through Coke bottles And figured that if he could jump across Hopping on one shod foot I could do the same Hoping with two

Hopping and Hoping

The children of liberty’s voice has been but a mute ripple on the drums in this march to war, death and de ca y. The voice of that capricious lady’s child could provoke the evolution of the entire ethos and consciousness of mankind. **** That baby can sing! Probably can do all the above because it never cared about ruling the world. It was just trying to walk. Those impish, little monkeys with hands over their senses, to speak no hear no see no evil, were barred entry to Club Oligarchy. (They’d make a mess.) No limb left to bang on the drum’s of society’s rhythm. So hush now child. We’re fond of ********** It makes (each) one of us feel in control. You’ve never been in control. In this causal verse you’re meat in capitalism’s grinder and we are voting on everything (and we really mean everything ((but you don’t know it)) you live in. We’re gonna sit real smooth as the misers of oppurtunity and wealth, until our outdated and stagnant values die with us and take with us, more likely than you’d like to be liev e c i v i l i z a tion. If you stay here and close your eyes, you can work for a minimum wage that couldn't help much with rent let alone a dream But if you try really hard at a game of Simon says with ole Sam you can carry this crippling debt around for a few decades and get yourself learn’d and we’ll even give you some ink scribbled on some dead tree to wear like a badge of your pedigree training. It may even get you that first option. So you can pay what is owed to your crippling defeat. I mean debt. Sorry, we’ve rolled up the ladder for the rising tide. But “social security” TOTALLY has your back when you want to die, like us. (Really, it will be the same and we’re good for it… promise.) All of you do not pass go…. Actually, stay in this square and try not to go to jail. Oh and you owe us two hundred dollars this time round. There are some circles to be shushed. And Sammy means business, really that is what he’s all about. When you go to ****** the free make sure there is no way out.

God has created women with tenderness and delicacy The entire world is bound to take care and to agree She came out of the ribs of man and a part of heart is plea So it is obligatory to extend all respect and to know and see Women have sharp sixth sense like few selected called leaders So as a matter of fact we should not be biased but be the pleaders No one else has quality to create but the women which glitters Men should accept the dignity honour respect and shouldn't be misers Women are mixture of love and beauty which continue to cherish In hour of trial and tribulation she never leaves someone to perish World ows its strength and beauty to the beauty and strength of women She wears the crown of creation being elegant and great with devotion Salute to all women who create persevere and bring peace and prosperity They are the beacon of light from home to home and country to country For their refinement of sixth sense I am proud of but definitely just envy From the core of my heart I appreciate their services in all relations openly Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow
