Quality and Choice Used For the Safety Net
Should people of greed,
Be thrown a lifeline?
When their digressions and selfishness,
Created their own suffering...
From a gluttony that brought upon them regret.
Should those who oppose,
Keep their mouths closed?
While the government prioritizes,
Their selectiveness.
With a tremendous concentration...
That helps relieve their overwhelming debt!
Should those be expected to endure familiar neglect?
To protect the sticky fingers of such blatant theft.
As the needs of the already weakened,
Are push aside!
While a few who created this downslide...
Discuss and choose amongst themselves,
The quality and choice used for the safety net!

Quality and Qualifications of Teachers
What is it about sex that makes it so attractive?
And why are those least attractive,
Interested in sex the most?
Its accessible to all.
And whoring has found legitimacy.
Women throwing panties at men...
Who throw theirs back,
Seems to fill advertisements on public TV.
Between pain killers and youth treatments.
And diets to enhance sexual performances.
With instructions for those illiterate.
Even those blind and deaf,
Have their own personalized attachments...
Custom made to order.
And those near death itself,
Can now be treated to a quickie before departure!
There is such an obsession with sex...
The sexual lives of insects are now being investigated.
And...
Being banned in some ant colonies!
And I can imagine they are thoroughly pissed about that!
Children are carrying weapons to safeguard fresh orgasms.
It sounds sick like something lifted from a culture on decline!
And in my time...
The teachers were using rulers,
To keep us distanced as we danced on the dance floor.
Long before the parents were buying weed...
Getting high and defending the right to smoke pot,
With their kids.
And these same folks are the ones shouting the loudest,
About the quality and qualifications of teachers.
'Don't do as I do!
You do as I say.'
~Okay dad...
I will use the bong!
And leave you the rolling paper next time.
And I will stay out of your stash too, promise! ~
Children today...
Think nothing about the act,
Of getting high with their parents.
Or going to school to have sex with their teachers.
Or having secret affairs of all kinds with their preachers.
And totally disrespecting life!
And there are those creating laws...
To defend all of this ignorance!
Or should that be...decadence?

Quality Of Life Has Been Diminished
The complexity of college entrance exams.
And the hike of already exorbitant tuition fees...
Diplomas issued in the month of June,
Commencement speeches...
And honorary doctorate degrees,
Given to those notable behind raised podiums...
Seen by those waving to later speak,
About the benefits of getting a higher education.
Where has the truth of this been reflected,
In one's quality of life?
People agree everywhere,
The quality of life has diminished.
And with thousands on a yearly basis,
Certified to have graduated...
With a knowledge to contribute to society,
What it is they have learned at the expense...
To prove common sense,
As a factor to prevent confusion and conflicts?
Or the rising of taxes applied with made excuses,
Without facts to back them to justify why.
Where is any of this pomp and circumstance reflected,
To prove there has been an advancement enhanced?

Quality Specimen
If you give me your hand,
I will hold it.
If you share your heart,
Mine will be there to protect.
If you run away...
I will not chase you!
If you go...
You go!
My love is genuine.
Not a remake of some kind,
Another may pretend!
And when you discover...
I am hardly like the others,
You'll be back!
And perhaps...
I'll let you in my life again!
IF by then,
I haven't been found...
As a rare and unique,
Quality specimen!
I am well aware
Of what I have to share!
