Wealthy in the Ways that Matter
Yeah, so…
By everyone else’s standards
I’m pretty much broke
I haven’t held a job since 1996
Health problems qualified me
To live off the government
I worked from the moment I could
Until the moment I couldn’t
I was twenty-eight years old
When I stopped being a workaholic
And began adjusting to life with less
It took quite a while
It wasn’t pretty
I don’t own a car
I rarely travel
I live in a rent controlled apartment
Budgeting is more than a necessity
I’ve learned to be comfortable ...

Online Sales
Skipping through the tulips
selling my wares on eBay,
when I sold a miniature fish
but its tail suspiciously got away!
The customer said it was broken,
and sent me a picture to compare,
I could tell it wasn't the same fish I'd sent,
but there was no way to prove it and be fair.
So, I gave her back her money,
and I skipped through the tulips once again,
when along came another customer,
but it didn't turn out to be a win.
She complained about some stains,
on a vintage towel that I had sold her.

Ninety-Nine Cent Records
He bought himself some records,
Oh yes, he did.
Quite many, I do not kid.
For his mom to sell online,
a little more than just a dime.
Not much profit in this,
I whine.
But it does help pass the time,
listing old records on eBay
for the auction price of 99.

Ebay
If you want to sell
your dirty old boots online
clean them up a bit
don't leave them for me to shine.
It's hard to make a buck
when I must do all the work
spit and polishing your old boots
drives me utterly berserk.
But then they’ll quickly sell
as they always do
and I’ll be happy as hell
to make a dime or two.

NATO's war
NATO's war.
It was on a bright day in 1949 the Washington treaty was signed and later called NATO.
This treaty was purely an American undertaken and designed to surround Russia with enemy troops and sow distrust of the Russia based on endless propaganda.
When the communist system collapsed one would think
NATO was no longer needed, but no, not so, because
that organization had changed its character from a passive watchdog to an aggressive mastiff.
The US administration had promised Russia under Gorbachev that NATO would not expand further eastward, but...

Planet Norway calling
We see a TV program from Norway, a smallish nation bent on becoming green, building windmills on top of mountains and in the sea, filling the landscape with rotating blades that have an annoying sound and does not make the famous landscape more prettier.
You see, to finance this dream of an unsullied nation at ease with itself, it has to sell polluting oil and gas by the tankers full and the more expensive the electric dream becomes, more oil and gas must be sold..
To reason to the leaders of this electric manic disorder, is impossible they act...

I, Pauper Poet, Declare!
I hereby bequeath
All my writings
To my daughter
As i know i oughter
As no money
As it slipped
Haphazardly
Through my slippery fingers
Like water
Troth is spoken
No lies broken
She will inherit
Riches within my ink
Or so i'd like to think

Beggar’s Plight
Begging, devoid of singular form,
Knows no bound, nor essence norm,
Yet in clarity, desire takes flight,
A yearning soul, seeking respite.
In humble plea, hearts do implore,
With fervent hopes, they do explore,
No qualifications to be met,
But the longing that one can't forget.
For begging's essence lies not in wealth,
Nor in titles, nor worldly stealth,
It dwells within the earnest plea,
For what the heart yearns, desperately.
No singular qualification holds sway,
When passion's flame lights up the way, ...

One footstep
I will lay down and rest for a while although I will note in my mind the sun is shining. Its rays touch my face with a warmth that reminds me that not everything is ice and cold . I almost feel the strokes of
loving and kindness and my mothers face materialises it jogs my memory of the authenticity of an unconditional love and I fight hard to stop the tears rolling down my cheeks. I need to see and I do not one cloud in the sky but birds soaring In the truest cerulean blue I have ever had the privilege to take in . It’s a reminder of feeling free . Colours in nature are the gifts...

The Day The Dollar Die
The day the dollar dies is nigh,
Yet where are the replacements to vie?
Can they match or surpass the dollar's might,
Or will they falter in its wake, losing sight?
For decades, the dollar has held the throne,
A dominant force in the global zone.
But how long till its replacement fades,
Lost in the ever-shifting financial shades?
New currencies emerge and vie for power,
From the euro to the yuan, each hour by hour.
Cryptocurrencies rise, a decentralized quest,
But will they stand the test of time's behest? ...
