These Little Girls and Boys

Dirty politicians using people and conditions,
To confuse and deceive what is seen and believed.
But the people now admit it all of this has made them sick.

And...
They rise annoyed,
At the dirty politicans.
Acting like girls and boys...
Who've come to argue in the kitchen.
With quick admissions of deficiencies,
Heating to extreme degrees.

Those dirty politicians using people and conditions,
To confuse and deceive what is seen and believed.
But the people now admit it all of this has made them sick.

And...
They rise annoyed,
At the dirty politicans.
Acting like girls and boys...

However, I had a chance encounter with an admissions officer of Stevens Institute of Technology, who so impressed me by his erudition and enthusiasm for the school that I changed course and entered Stevens Institute.

Declining overseas admissions costs us not only much needed revenues for colleges and universities, but much more importantly, we lose the best opportunity we have to introduce foreign students to all that America has to offer the world.

ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.

Interpretations

They are not poor.
They are triumphant in re-enacting 'lack'!
They are not ignorant.
They have chosen to stay away from knowledge.
And that seems to be a fact!

They are not lazy.
They choose to receive,
And 'give' that perception.
They are far from subservient,
But welcome it as a form of reception.

They have been freed to do as they please,
And leave interpretations to others
Who pay to be entertained by these sights...
Never keeping conversations dull,
For those who dwell with such druthers.

They know this!
And that is why everyone pays.

Indictment Against Entire Nations

Collective Guilt Is Groundless.
Guilt is individual as is salvation.
Collective guilt cannot enforced be
laid upon innocence preadolescent.
Vengeance reparations cause wars?

No indictment exists
nor means rationally
for law creating crime
as collective nations
shame blame guilt.

Penalty culpability
regret responsibility
admissions of evils
For the Indictment
of an entire nation.

Least free-born blood
of race righteousness.

Further more from the poets desk

The drum of the pen upon this desk
Rings the impassable opening line
How to break from the restraint
To speak full admissions of the mind
Be it of love or observation to life
I am as yet unable to pen a word
The is no tale, letter nor a comedy
I am able to dictate unto the page
The agony of my literary silence
Grows with the slow passing of time
Drumming ceased Pen firmly in hand
And the clicking of the lid begins
Thoughts search and contemplate
While nothing written remains
My eyes look not into the room
But into another place of fantasy
Where I dance with romantic words
And survey loves great tragedy
All of this I seek to fill my mind
So I may finally pen

Disgruntled

He is not the first or the last...
To stun,
By telling what he knows is true.

Nor is he the only one...
To be labelled digruntled,
By those feeding delusion...
In their high priced silk worn suits!

He could have stayed,
And continued the betrayal...
In dismay.
But a sense of integrity,
He had to pursue.

And now he has been declared embittered,
By proclaiming
He and others have represented dishonesty.
And that was wrongly by them pursued!

Christmas Dreams

Christmas Dreams
By Lori Triggs
Copyrighted December 19 2009

I wish for Christmas,
a full breed female pug or Yorkshire terrier dog.

I wish for Christmas,
new underwear with warm pajama's.

I wish for Christmas,
to get a single family home not in a gated community
that is stainable off the grid with 4 sided stone wall 10 feet high gated.

I wish for Christmas,
for peace on earth in every country and
good will to people to around the world.

I wish for Christmas,
for love to give everyone who is good or bad

Perfected and Over-rehearsed

Not a few,
But far too many...
Have become disillusioned and mystified,
By the quickened fast pace of change...
That has taken place.
Leaving those wide eyed quite surprised.

Spoiled and embroiled by choices of isolation.
Believing decisions made would remain sustained.
Creating superstitions within accepted standards,
Of division...
Has weakened values and traditions.

And foundations trembling...
With once tried and true,
Restrictions.
Faltering a quality of life for all,
By hidden agendas and undenied admissions.

Not a few,
