Poetry to Inspire You
Brotherhood
the brotherhood of man
united in a cause
to redistribute wealth
to END war not to pause
the new ways of communicating
global in their reach
give opportunity to share ideas
to both listen and to teach
to feel each other’s suffering
to know how we want to live
to share our abundance by gifting
to love each brother’s child as his
the brotherhood will strengthen
as each steps up to start
honouring all life on Earth
life in every part

Banking Expired
the ways of the old
when we traded in gold
now expired
the ways of the past
when cheques replaced cash
now expired
the ways then elastic
cash replaced by plastic
now expired
the ways much more recent
interest rates on the descent
now expired
the ways we’ve been banking
economies tanking
now expired
welcome the new
coming full circle it’s true
contributing what we do
recognized for its value
what we do will ensue
into a value exchange
play it forward, a game
piecing an economy
based on autonomy
working together
as birds of a feather
sharing our skills
full of goodwill
creating solutions
ending pollutions
living in harmony
past released
released disharmony
banking expired
new economies inspired
by caring for all
money not needed
for there’s no longer a need
when we’ve done away
with what was known as greed
sharing our abundance
eliminating redundance
cooperative existence
with loving persistence
giving all that we can
to help our fellow man
moved by the intent
to understand what suffering meant
and eliminate its existence
with our loving persistence
to exchange in a new way
what if banking expired to say
all loans are forgiven
debts are underwritten
by a desire to give
so that all now may live
sufferance free?
starting over?

Creating Systems
a credence or jeopardy can be obscure
and only supported can either endure
quagmires exist in temporaneous form
only by feeding to balance can completeness be born
aspects of neutrality can often confuse
staying impartial can sometimes mean lose
creating the wayward with systems infused
fabricates the working parts of intertwining queues
blessings of justice in the eyes of the whole
so movement continues with a warp and a roll
justifying the margins can also appeal
to the refinement of those that have suffered an ordeal
placards that spell out to draw attention are used
to unify opinions and clarify what’s confused
pleasant retirement of the jury that was
rephrases what judgement and side taking does
specify the outcomes of all that’s desired
keep all that’s treasured and let the rest be retired
journey to the ends of the Earth in your search
don’t make your choices from a solitary perch
