Kick Backs

Who received

The goal achieved

The investor sequestered

The average man forgotten

Kick-backs

Go all the way to the top

Not to the saved

But to the saving

Not to be returned

Kick backs stale

Kick backs burned

 

The Old Neighborhood

I know it will all change

Places

Hands

Roomates

Tiny specks will remain

Of the neighborhood I knew

For just a moment

I was late to the party

Closed it down

What seems meaningless

Will be much more important to me

Miles down

The road

So this one goes out to the neighborhood

It was short

But it was good

 

Google Webs

Leave me be Google

The time is not right

Or the matter is not correct

Leave me alone when I am

Now on my own

Free but not full of freedom

Google let go of me

The webs have been woven

Set the Goal

Set the goal

Call the time

Set up a sinister

Set of rhymes

Jump through the hoop

And over the mountain

Drink water from the

Ever tempting fountain

See you on the other side

In due time

Goals listed

And achieved

What we have

What we need

 

The Breaks

Coming down the line

Faster than a train

Slow motion

Down from the emperor’s hand

Makes the everyday man

Work through the night

One can claim victory

While the others work through

The holiday

How

When life is forced

Rather than reflected

It becomes more difficult

Than anyone expected

Water and Bridge

Water and bridge

Opportunity overpass

Go through

Make a new way

Where there was none

Look forward not back

As the water lashes

The beams

Of new opportunities

Water and bridges

Meeting where

The new you

Begins

Waiting Lackluster

How odd and confusing

A resolution

Of dissatisfaction

Delusions

My own hopes

Hopelessly irrational

Lackluster performance

Averting disaster

The hands that guide

The world these days

Seem to have itchy palms

Strange ideas

For moving forward

Or learning back

In times we all now wait

To see what will be our own fate

Peace and Trouble

A year was lived

Not too great

Yet pretty bad

Not the worst

But oddly strange

No signs of the world ebbing to

A soft landing

Rather someone trying to gain

The upper hand

We all suffer

All of us

All of us
