Crunching the numbers
before they crunch me...

Always gotta pay
our debt to society...

Money flows outward
in every direction...

Creative accounting
offers little protection
from financial peril...

Those howling dogs of debt
extracting their pound of flesh
on expenses not yet spent...

Slaves in chains to this economy...

Forever chasing limited currency...

Is this the way it has to be?

You hold
My breath,
My body
Against
The lobes of
Time and space.
The gravity
In you,
The exquisite
Transcendental
Ache.

I always illustrate the Limerick-Off RHYME-WORD with a limerick. In my current Limerick-Off, the RHYME-WORD is SUEDE, SWAYED, PERSUADE, or DISSUADE.

Seems transfems still gettin the rawness
So I figurin’ I might as well act law less
Calling myself a modern outlaw
While these side eyes still
Thinking they sly guys, till
The Cis stop calling me out “brah”
Cuz that thot-shot
Now hittin a sweet spot
And got these booba
Hidin’ “I knew ya”

foh no you didn’t. I buried the boy you thought you knew.
Killed him with my own two hands. You tryna find out too?

Exactly what is written
In my heart

Another sunset.

Elise Stefanik am I...

I am
a woman
of some accomplishment...

Graduated Harvard....

Elected to Congress...
.
Now I gotta deflect and pimp
for a corrupt future convict...

It's not that I wanna do it
but to survive
in this toxic MAGA environment
I'm required to shovel this bullshit
down the throats of the ignorant
who make up the base
of our once grand party

    Five stanza haiku;

    The burn comes to us
    Many forms unfamiliar
    Forest bush and vine

    Traveling the length
    Of connected things to all
    Where we are standing

    Not just hot summers
    Disrupting ecosystems
    Upheaval perceived

    Knowing how it ends
    We allow continuance
    No course change by us

    Culmination near
    We custodians of our world
    Face innate judgment

    We are not alone
    in the Universe...

    We are not alone
    on this Earth...

    We are not alone
    on our life journey..

    So open your
    despondent eyes...

    Look around
    for a few friendly faces...

    Even in the
    worst of times
    in the most desolate
    of depressed places...

    You are not
    ALONE

    Just my affection
    The only promise I make
    Does it have value

    Thanks @aethelshane for the prompt - priceless.

    Dimming the spark that is truth
    Keep that pen moving.
