the dark side of poetry: GREED

greed

assumptions assumptions, for those without gumption.
leads to a life for asses in corruption.
judgments, huntsmen, illuminati, and blood;
they watch the world drown in bones and suds.
peacekeepers, policemen, war, and peace;
you are your friend, if you pay the lease.
armies of one and heads hung high;
watching you burn from in THEIR skies.
comrades of pain, brothers in despair;
forget the cure, lets just cut our hair.
bodies dying in the blackness and cold
greed and lust, lets kill the old.
the world we share is not our own,
this land is THEIR land, not YOUR home.
why bother be good? why try to fit in?
building lives with tetris, nobody wins.
black and white but colors with names
yet which one gets caught cheating in the game?
white supremacist, black panther, triad, NSA;
corruption a word by many other names.
men and women in blue, soldiers in green;
we are all but lapdogs, of the corporate empires greed.

the minimum wage issue

• increasing minimum wage means that over the board it would make no difference. increase minimum wage and then everyone is making more, the higher ups and corporate workers then have their wages increased. then the prices of goods and services increase as a result of inflation. followed by the value of American currency dropping drastically. then ending with foreign markets losing money and resources and many people being fired. thus the world is right back where it was BEFORE it started. increasing minimum wage is a BAD IDEA, try lowering the costs of goods and services by paying off debts.

the problem is that our nation is in debt and as a solution to the debt our government is making unneeded changes. like increased fare on buses or firing workers. there are a number of things we could get rid of to lower our debt. most of them quite simple.

the muskrat of bashford manor mall [oh fluffy beaver-thingy]

so apparently there is a muskrat that lives under the bridge in bashford manor. a big fluffy, friendly, and full grown muskrat. about the size of a mid size maltese, and apparently not bothered that I was 4 feet away watching the cute little critter nibbling on grass, seeds, and wood chips. then he finished and swam away back to his home....through sewer infested waters. now THAT puts the "musk" in muskrat.

and now a muskrat haiku:

cute little muskrat.

watched you eat and swim away.

graceful and fluffy.
