OCCUPY WHERE YOU ARE!(Vote NO! now)

Your poverty vow fails
when you have more
And all you hold /belongs to another
Before and after you(like a lover)

It is no devotion/to link to transience
nor to believe in the false myth of permanence
I was poor once/i had to give that stone back
It was not mine(i borrowed it from your future)
i was rich twice/i had to RETURN TO SENDER
All Kropotkin Kryptonite capers
making Superman redundant
I was Buddha thrice/in my past and future lies-
coffins,ash,rainbows,gold,breath,continuance

THREE REASONS(to be in the street

for Noh reason but Joy/is a privilage
owned by the weak/the poor and the homeless
To occupy space/and time is a deal/sealed by the living
while they are still with us
To cast energies(bread upon the waters
for fish to rise/like living miracles.

THE RICH AND THE POOR
Outside the system/i call for the draw
bridge to be lowered like taxes
but you pay none!"they complain
This is the price of democracy-
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

POET PRESIDENT

If you are /not me/how can you/
attempt/to represent?

ANARCHY
Make mine direct
ion
less.
