Stroking Their Egos

What are they doing over there?

'Stroking their egos.'

Why have none of the tasks required,
And assigned to be done...
Have not been touched.
Or given priority?

'Remember...
When it was suggested to you,
Not to issue them titles?
Well...
Try to get them to do anything now.'

I Remember

Should have known better
I should have known better
How I long for those warm summer nights
Of playing the fool and getting uptight
Crush my precious wish to the ground
You have a sunshine taste of forgive and forget
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Youve touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me
Looking back at what we had
Say I still want you so much
Loving you for just one reason
Loving you for just one season
Means youre required for desire
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Youve touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me
Loving you, loving you, loving you
Please, please help me
And I try, and I try, and I try to act naturally

His Hand

I remember the man
whose hand I loved.
I can even remember the feel when gloved.

It touched my body.
It touched my heart.
I can still remember it though it did depart.

The priority must be the unification of the world titles to straighten things out. But we should not wait that long anymore to change the situation, because we are running out of time.

Everywhere They Lead

It is clearly evidenced,
As to which minds are demented.
Which egos are adorned by limitation.
And whose priorities have been affected by insecurity.

Poisoned minds are blocking the strides of progress.
With digressive displays of ignorance.
That hampers those of intelligent intentions...
To deal with the postering of idiots!

It is clearly evidenced,
As to which minds are demented.
Which egos are adorned by limitation.
And whose priorities have been affected by insecurity.

Morons like this,
Have titles and positions all over the place.
And everywhere they 'lead'...
There is left unbelievable confusion.

Just to get around their incompetence,
Leaves those with a thought to think...
Doing their best,
Not to prove they can do it!
And...
To keep themselves as far away as possible,
From the mess the mindless have created.

Very Big Answer

I suppose they give goodness signals,
And that is whatness of levels very big.
Actually they side with a big answer to irksome quotes,
As they are nowhere on Earth and everywhere in Space.
We are nevertheless describing a huger task and task it is.
Tasks are when they begin at all costs,
Such is a black issue and white issue - 'in black and white'.
The questions are not harder than others.

Even while we busily attend meetings, contribute money and perform our assigned tasks, we suspect that we may be helping to create a force that is inimical to many values we hold dear.

Brink Of Extinction

Creating with a solicitation,
A lazy and undisciplined existence.
To identify a segment of one's population,
As dysfunctional.
May for those responsible,
In the implementation of this...
Boost egos.
But cost effective?
No!

Only fools feeding an isolated greed,
Would keep this as their belief.
Only a complete ignorance,
Would perceive this approach...
To be an effective reflection of greatness.

Those assigned to oppress minds,
From the time of their birth...
Would find this uplifting to their self worth.
And not an encouragement nourishing,
One to the brink of extinction.

Those assigned to oppress minds,
Of those threatening their insecurities...
Eventually will find this point of view of superiority,
A mentally degrading aspect...
Of their own growth process and not an asset.

Memorable

I remember your eyes and your smile,
I remember the beauty of your face,
I remember where I thought about taking you,
I remember imagining that special place,
I remember how you would laugh
And bring your hand up to your lips,
I remember the gentle touch of your skin
When you touched me with your fingertips,
I remember how you held me close
When I asked you if I may have a dance,
I remember when we talked about
How we were brought together by chance
I remember when I would look up at you,
I remember how you would smile at me,
I remember how nervous I would get
Whenever it was you that I'd see,
I remember how our eyes would lock
And neither of our heads could turn away,
No, I can forget what I remember,
I'll remember it all until my dying day.

Lunas

Drawing the dreams
of a hundred suitors
stroking her silver bow
diaphanous, duplicitous
diametric Diametre's
divining the dreamer’s soul

She lives the lives
of her legion lovers’
nocturnal alter-egos
livid lavender
Lady Lunas
eclipsing coptic glow

Your Name Is Not Required to Be Tattooed

Every now and then an intention is made...
To get someone involved in the display,
Of unabashed ignorance.
As if a festival of demons have descended to begin...
An onslaught of misdeeds.

Those wise would turn away.
Or do what is best not to accept an invitation.
It is suggested to exit from these crowded spaces quick.
With a minding of one's business.
Why advocate a solicitation of wickedness?

As a recommendation
Avoid unneeded heated confrontation.
With the acknowledgement that some people are born,
To initiate conflict.
Your disgust does not have to be verbalized.
Just witnessed with opened eyes.

Remember...
The alternative is to keep a peace of mind active.
And,
If one is blessed to know the importance of having it...
The sustaining that maintains can be likened to the protecting,
Of a treasure chest filled to the brim with precious jewels...
That no one out of touch with the 'self',
Is not welcomed to share.

Know this and disappear,
From those clearly selling anguish and despair.
Your name is not required to be tattooed on any of it.

Know this and disappear,
From those clearly selling anguish and despair.
Your name,
Is not required to be tattooed...
On any of it.

We decided that the environment was an integral part of our policies and the political thrust of our government. We gave it the priority and we sustained it with the money required to make it happen.

Perceived To Accept A Fall

No one is resistent,
To a barrage of criticisms.
I don't know anyone who is.
But I do know of one who isn't.

A sponge to soak up jokes told to provoke...
By those folks stroking egos,
With a mocking done constantly...
To annoy as others do a snooping,
Close to scope...
Initiates within me a resentment.
And even though I can not prevent what others do...
I can choose to refuse,
An amusement done at my expense.

And I am convinced...
It is not how someone is perceived to accept a fall,
By a misdeed thrown.
It is how someone takes a hit,
And gets over it quickly!
With an advantage taken that clearly benefits.

Suggested Recommendations

What more can be said,
To those...
Who continue to bang their heads,
Against unmovable brick walls...
To see if their actions will convince God,
The seriousness of their lives lived...
Would be better done,
Without HIS interference.

And...
If The Almighty,
'Has' for some unexplained reason...
A need to interfere with their decisions,
They wish that 'He' The Almighty...
Follow their instructions.
And this comes,
With suggested recommendations!

What more can be said,
To those...
With minds tightly trapped,
Within self-centered egos.

Gloating Upon Floating Egos

Bloated from the excessive stroking,
Performed by those gloating upon floating egos.
And unknown are they impressed along the way,
They have been used as tokens, pawns and jokes.

A method used to sustain influence.
And a hopeful maintaining of those stolen gains.
Just to keep one's name buzzing amongst the mix.
And glistening to sparkle with a false integrity.

Kept as a top ten winner to deceive!
No matter the depth of the sleaze known,
By the ones considered to be common folks...
Who have grown accustomed to seeing plastic smiles.

Caught Them Gawking

Every breath I breathe,
Is excitement filled!
Someone suggested...
I was 'over the hill'!
Of course they didn't know 'me',
They referred to my age!
And I quickly reminded them...
It was them who had whispered,
Saying I had upstaged!
A position 'normally' not given,
To one of 'my Age'.
And I caught them 'gawking'
Amazed and dazed!
Showing them a thing or 'two'...
About limitation and boundaries,
Assigned to old folks
And their 'age'!

'Come on children...
Can't you keep up with poppa?
You are wearing me out,
Waiting for you! '

Wishing To Keep The Game Played Fair?

Wishing to keep the game played fair?
Switch around the wearing of masks.
And remove all expectations,
Of completing required timely tasks.
But keep the making of impressions,
As the goal to reach and erase accountability.

Oh but its so tempting so delicious
When I kiss your lips
