POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry in a bipolar world of endless sorrow and exuberant joy not only structures the thinking, but also facilitates moral recovery and sometimes spiritual healing from the insanity of playing our act on the vast Shakespearean stage of our everyday life.

Xtreme Wealth
Religion is what keeps the poor from killing the rich
99 to 1%, we're outnumbered, this place not normal
let's get more priests, well-armed
or more AK-15 security officers.

Hillary's Health Issues
1. Wacky rumors on Hillary's last days of life
Donald playing Hillary’s personal physician on TV
terminal breast cancer, Parkinson, muscular dystrophy
conspiracy theories about supposed ill health gone viral
medical evidence these outrageous claims are actually true
everybody prays poor old Hillary's got insurance cover
Pru, MetLife, anything to keep Bill from poor man's house.
2. Real issue here isn’t Hillary health
conspiracy theory signals the fear that she
may well be the next president of...

US Presidential Election Blues
Donald has only got one
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger
cut it off when he was small
sold it to the Democrats or NRA
Donald has only got one ball.
Donald, he only had one ball
Saddam, he had two but very small
Stalin had something similar
but poor old Hillary, had no balls at all.
Donald has only got one ball
Hitler's are so very small
Putin's so very similar
lucky Hillary has no balls at all.
"This rotten rhyme is going to ruin my public image

Embraceable Imagination
All there ever will be to know and understand
commanded by the dynamics of endless imagination
standing on the shoulders of giants
constantly thinking outside of the box
ingenious scientists associate with prestigious labs
from Atlantic to Pacific Ocean, MIT to Stanford
or military DC, to find the cure against cancer
the remedy against climate change
or perfect the art of mass destruction
nonchalantly, they innovate around
making their parents extremely proud.
Some, brilliant but perhaps not so insightful
land at less admired institutions...

All The Gold In Fort Knox
Deep down Fort Knox, but not for sale
for storage & display only, more bullionVault
gold bars, now cheaper & easier than ever before
at live spot pure gold & Sterling silver rates
in short, more gold in Fort Knox
than people with vigilante ears to listen
or embraceable hearts to understand.
Empathy, fortunately exchangeable
at reasonable quantum codes, exposed
on AllPoetry sunrise, where
the Honourable Dr. Jekyll lives
on Deep Underground Poetry
where Mr. Hyde dwells - until sunset

at live spot pure gold & Sterling silver rates

Timing is Everything
Time is of the essence in contract law
the parties to the agreement must perform
by the time to which the parties have agreed
if a delay will cause material harm.
Infrastructure project failure
- cancel early, usually better
than budget-overrun of 279%
time over-run of 932%
16% of planned functionality.
Paying income taxes
capital gain taxes, profit taxes
- pay late, usually better
love working capital efficiency.
Aggressive tax avoidance's bad
unlawful tax evasion's ugly
unless KPMG...

Concealed Happiness of Death
Escape from life, incessant
disruption of order - by death.
O death, how bitter you are
If you're remembered as a 1%
good days, but never enough
silver spoon, living without worry
prospered in all things, on purpose
steak, lobster and champagne
Mercedes Benz, private plane
Marylin, Brigitte, Emily Jane
O death, how bitter you are.
O death, how well you are doing the needy
struggling in the grim dungeons
of the bottom-quartile poverty-stats
sick and old, but not yet cold
plugged in endless worries ...

Metropolitan Museum of Fresh Produce
Saturday, the day of the week
following Friday and preceding Holy Sunday
Saturday's morning fever
At a simple cozy market place
Art gallery at the same day potential crime scene.
All colors of the rainbow, Transatlantic ambience
True pleasure for the eyes, the taste buds, less still the skin
Aquamarine sweet potatoes rich in vitamin A
Alice blue tomatoes inundated with lycopene
Acid green avocados to rehydrate your dry skin
Inadvertently confused with "Ordre des Avocats"
Serious criminal defense lawyers of Paris
Ash grey...

Delivering Bad News
Bad news - read Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd
emphasizing "I shall not want"
humming Mozart's Requiem
Brahm's "Oh Tod, wie bitter bist Du"
solemn voice, sad faces.
Good news - nonchalantly throw
Tiffany diamonds, German cars
- no Rhinestones please
or inexpensive Lemons
turn on quietest employee
relentless pursuit of happiness
such humbling gratitude.

Once a Day
a gunshot a day keeps the debt collector away
a poem a day keeps the psychiatrist away
a curse a day keeps the good Lord away
a dollar a day keeps the homeless away
an apple a day keeps the doctor away
a prayer a day keeps the devil away

Right or Wrong, Not My Kind of Girl
Addicted to interactive physics & math
with two cups of Java, one for pussycat
she's rather precisely wrong than roughly right.
Law-abiding daughter, she's rather
responsible and wrong
than irresponsible and right.
Right is wrong even if no one is doing it
Wrong is right if everyone is doing it
I know she's attracted to me
and I should probably feel the same.
It's not her looks, she's very pretty
It's not her style, the way she dress,
oh la la, it's oh so fresh.
She's just not my kind of girl.
