You set your own rulesA hard taskmaster.If we don’t pay our dues,There’ll be disaster. You think you’re always right,People you berate;Looking for a fight,Trouble you create. You look down upon usLike we’re midgets.Life is simply unjustWhen you direc...

 Joe was only twenty-eightBack in the autumn of ’79.Things were fine ‘til one day,Life became most unkind.We’d lots of fun with him,Our favorite uncle.When he was taken ill,All prayed for a miracle. But it wasn’t to be,Just didn’t come about.He weake...

Survival

Life is a bed of roses, Not ….When all is hard-fought.Daily, many things aren’t justified.Without know-how, we’re terrified.Today, life isn’t just about living,It’s a matter of surviving.Weaklings lose in racing to the top,Unless there’s an underdog....

Invisible

I live down the road.To be mistress of your abodeIs my ultimate aimThough your excuses are lame. I sit across the table,Regarded as something invisible,While you travel round the world,Searching for your dream girl. Sometimes, looking into your eyes,...

Don’t let men hold superiorityFor we must have equality,And not an imbalance.Women are treated unfairly,Instead of justly ---We’ve evidence. People would pass judgment,On cases of sexual harassment.Punishing perpetrators is an obligationAs we’re the...

Ting * ting* dust and soot on his hands and brow. He worked alone. In the darkness the only light was the specks coming off the rocks from the fire below. His beard long and arms strong. He did this for no-one individual or thing. Simply for the soli...

Aquarium

Swimming in a big glass bowl,The colors of the goldfish glow.Swirling ever so gracefully,In a home decorated brilliantly.Rising to the surface is many a bubble,At night, like stars they twinkle.Or perhaps like tiny crystal balls,Hanging by the inside...

Discarded

Without saying a word,You’d me badly hurt.Finally you broke the ice, harshly,And via facsimile. Shown me plainly your intention,That our love has no extension.It’s most regrettable ---Got me wondering if ‘tis my fate. Approaching my xth year,I’ve a b...

Yellow-bellied

I’d like to caress and holdYour hair of spun gold.So far, I’ve dallied,As I’m yellow-bellied. You only need look my way,And all I wanted to say,Fly out from the interior;Next to you, I’m inferior. Think of you, I’ll get a fever,My tummy will quiver.A...

Rejection
