  • ELECTRONIC BANKING; LITTLE ATOM



    WHOSE SAID YOU CAN’T GET SHOCK,
    LOOK AT YOUR BALANCE
    ITS LACKING, THERE IS NO CASH.

    ELECTRONIC BANKING


    Imagining,
    I have a million Dollars

    Where is it in my mind?

    Imagining,
    I have not Dollars

    plastic in my hand

    Imagining,
    I can transfer it all

    To where?
    Where I can bank on it

    Did I Discover,
    that I can have a card?

    A Visa,
    will let me see it all

    Master of my Fate,
    Express, I can go on

    America, can charge it all

    Pressed to make
    an imprint, on my plastic

    Money is not Dollars,
    it is plastic in my hand

    Just put it in,
    I’ll transfer a million Dollars

    What an imagination!
     in this, Electronic Banking

    I can count all the Atoms

    Will it bring me cash,
    or Electrons?

    No telling, in this
    Electronic Banking

    Can’t get shocked,
    if I use plastic

    Can’t get anything,
    if my balance, is lacking

    Only Electrons,
    to tell me I am zapped

    All out! There’s No Cash…

    A Poeatreeman
    Imagining, I don’t use it
    Imagining, how much more I’ll have
    A card that travels on, imagining
    Is pressed, to make an imprint

    LITTLE ATOM


    When you have
    a Credit Crunch

    Feed your card,
    into Electronic Banking

    No burps!
    Only paper

    To say you’re out

    Ouch!
    You Little Atom

    No more
    Cashing

    When they give you
    not, a paper

    Take your Card

    They give you not,
    a Dollar

    Not even,
    for the card

    When you try
    to talk to them

    They only,
    say they’re out

    If I have
    the right number

    I may
    get on through

    There is always,
    Little Atom

    To tell me
    I am Wrong

    I have
    no more Cash

    So what
    am I to Do?

    Tear this
    Sucker up

    I finally
    got my Sense in.


    A Poeatreeman

    If I keep my sense,
    I am left all intact
    If I let it get,
    the best of me
    I am all out of whack.

    SOMETIMES I DO AND SOMETIMES I DON’T

                    
    I wish I were
    at another place


    When things are down ,
    life seems Hell

    I wish I was,
    a child again

    Sometimes I Don’t,

    For I see the things,
    I have done before

    I would not want
    to, do it again

    To go through life,

    Only seeing,
    what I was before

    Sometimes I do,

    When I think
    of how, it used to be

    Looking  back
    to all the joys, I had,

    At being a child,
    once more.

    Sometimes I Don’t,

    For I see
    how hard, it was

    To make it ,this far

    I would not want,

    To go through
    this pain, once more

    When I look back,

    I see
    I have grown, from this

    For I have learned,

    I must be happy,
    where I am

    Even though I wish,

    Sometimes I do,
    and Sometimes I Don’t

    I am happy
    I am here, for both.


    A Poeatreeman

    Oh! how I Wish
    it might have been?
    Might I Wish it all again?

      THE GOLDEN MOMENTS

          
      There’s a
      Time to be Born

      A Time to Cry

      A Time to open
      up your Eyes

      A Time to see
      Earths Blue Skies

      A Time to Love
      and Love your God

      A Time to Feel
      and Wake your Heart

      For
      God
      has Given you a Start.


      There’s a
      Time to Grow

      and do your part

      A Time to Learn
      and Struggle Hard

      A Time to Find
      What’s Right or Wrong

      A Time to Face
      The Truth of all

      A Time to Feel
      what Pain is called

      A Time to Love
      when Love will Call.


      There’s a
      Time to Change

      When Seasons Fall

      A Time to Think
      and Reflect it all

      A Time for Hope
      when Spirits fall

      A Time for God
      when all is Lost

      A Time to Touch
      when Teardrops fall

      A Time to Smile
      and Bear it all.


      There’s a
      Time for Darkness

      When Winter Falls

      A Time for Life
      to End it all

      A Time for Answers
      when Death has Called

      A Time for Silence
      and  Prayer for all

      A Time to be Judged
      for what is Wrong

      A Time to Part
      for God has Called.

    NOT ALL

     
    Not all were smiles,
    not all was rain

    Not all was everything,
    not even the same

    Not all was sunshine,
    nor was it storms

    Not even light,
    could stay pass twilight

    Darkness came,
    light faded out

    Time was one thing,
    I could not stop

    Hope was there,
    not always bright

    Faith was there,
    to see the light

    Love came,
    showed me pain

    Sorrow said,
    I feel the same

    Care came,
    said all right

    I’ll show you love,
    in a different light

    Happiness
    had its joy, in spurts

    Laughter came,
    covered up hurting

    Feelings felt,
    said I’ll stay

    Where am I,
    if I leave today?

    I’ll have no companion,
    to share the hurt
               
    Nor love to find,
    the treasures unearthed.

    A Poeatreeman

    Suffering is the loss of all
    Cares to know what love’s about
    Heart will let you feel it all
    Pain is there for care to see
    Tears to let you wash the soul
    Love to keep it all from dying
    Sorrow if I lose it all.

  • GOD WAKES ME


    NO MATTER WHAT HOUR I RISE, I WAKE UP TO HIS GLORY.


    Uploaded on Oct 3, 2011

    God Wakes me

    God wakes me
    Each day I am here.

    I rise with the morning
    To hear His songs play
    The wind that is whistling
    Through the trees.

    The birds

    Singing in the right keys.

    The harmony of nature.

    When it follows God’s plans.

    The hope that Mankind
    will find His way through

    The songs that will be sung
    Is all up to you.

    Nature will follow
    Her own way through
    Mankind can help
    When He keeps in Tune.

    A THOUGHT!

    One Key to Knowledge
    don’t Lock the Door
    One Key to Wisdom
    be willing to Learn

    Dedicated to All

    For God Wakes Us
    Each Day We are Here

    A CHOICE TO MAKE

    If
    I hear a Song
    I do not like

    Be
    happy
    that
    I can hear it twice

    If
    I do not like
    what I am playing

    Change
    the record now

    See
    who wrote
    the lines to it

    Know
    there are
    two sides to it

    One
    label
    which side now?

    Right
    or Wrong
    its your play now.

  • WHAT I NEED



    WHAT ONE NEEDS?

     
    What one needs
    most is heart


    Then love
    will follow through


    What one needs
    most is trust


    Then love
    will have a friend


    What one needs
    most is caring


    Then sorrow
    will have a tear


    What one needs
    most is happiness


    Then sadness
    will have the blues


    What one needs
    most is feelings


    Then pain
    will have to hurt


    What one needs
    most is faith


    Then God
    will bring us through


    What one needs
    most is wisdom


    Then understanding
    will let us speak


    What one needs
    most is hope


    Then wishes
    will have its peace


    What one needs
    most is prayer


    Then praying
    will find an answer


    What one needs
    most is humanity


    Then we can
    live with one

     
    What one needs
    more than most is care


    Then we can
    feel each others tears.


    A THOUGHT!

    I cared because
    love was there


    I felt it all
    because I cared


    I shared both
    good and bad


    I took the pain
    as it came


    I gave it all
    for love was there


    I would give it again, 
    just to know I cared.
