cough that way, cover your mouth, don't come to work sick, I should never see your snot, keep your germs to yourself, use a sick day, where's your manners

Remember back when…
back when people got sick and stayed home,
back when people kept their germs to themselves;
now they come to work sick
and ask stupid sh!t
like “are you sick too?”

No expletive expletive I was fine,
I got sick from you;
get duh expletive outta here with that sick too…

I should never see your snot,
keep your germs away from me;
there’s no bug going around,
we all got sick from you!

I can’t believe you didn’t cover your mouth,
where’s your manners?
Keep your germs away from me;
there’s no bug going around,
we all got sick from you!

Ear, Nose, & Throat

dry itchy scratchy throat, I hope it's not the flu, I think I have a cold, irritated ears, nasal congestion

Dear ear, nose, and throat:
Let’s pull together and get
well soon, okay – thanks.

Dry, itchy, scratchy
throat: How about some hot tea,
lemon, and honey?

Runny nose, stuffed nose:
You’re giving me a headache,
can you stop sneezing?

The pain in my ear:
I need you to disappear;
hands up, I can’t breathe…

To that symptom that
put a halt to my supply
of air – “I Hate You!”

poetry anthology, pressed for words, word association, wordman, wordplay, wordpress, wordsmith

I was pressed for words…
then I began to WordPress;
I’m no wordsman – yet.

I play with the words
then I put them into words
to share on WordPress.

I’ve discovered some
of the best poetry on
my WordPress reader.

I’m working on an
anthology of WordPress
poets and writers.

If you’d like to be
included in my WordPress
collection, comment.

–@StevieStreets | Pressed For Words: A WordPress Anthology

Moonlight

beautiful vibes, brilliance, illumination

She was radiant…
she’s a sight of perfection;
she was my moonlight.

In my darkest hour…
somehow, the stars in her eyes
gleamed like the moonlight.

Peace in Darkness

You never realize how

loud your heart is,

until it’s the only thing

you’re listening to.

The Banking System

29 Friday Jan 2016

Posted by steviestreets in Haiku, Insights, Poems, THE ILLUSION OF WEALTH

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

extortion, federal reserve act, federal reserve notes, money is make believe, national banking act, social security act, united states notes

The banking system
is the biggest racquet in
the United States.

–@StevieStreets #getyourhandoutofmypocket | from THE ILLUSION OF WEALTH COLLECTION: The Banking System

code of the streets:
The national banking act, federal reserve act, united states notes, federal reserve notes, and social security act are all forms of #extortion.
The entire #bankingsystem runs on the merits of highway robbery… we’re all slaves in the land of the free your social security number indicates you’re collateral, you are collateral and the central bank known as the Federal Reserve owns you – the rich, the poor, the so called educated, and the uninformed…
#wakeup and #wiseup!

Today I was taught…
“never question your elders;”
they seen what they know.
