DEBT SLAVERY
Oh, Africa, a vast and varied land Yet overshadowed by IMF's hand Structural adjustments they decree Yet bring nothing but misery Forced reforms they demand Leaving nations bound in financial quicksand Economic policies, cold and stern Often leave the people for more they yearn African soil, rich and ripe Yet resources drained in IMF's grip tight Development hindered, dreams deferred As IMF's demands go unheard Structures shattered,...

Today
I am grateful I just bought groceries, enough meat to last 3-4 days. Veggies. And I'll go get something sweet. I have lost everything I love, just about But gained some new things. I have the best dog in the world I have a roof over my head & this couch to sleep on (with an alien roommate-which...

Making Adjustments
A hard earned lesson: We’d like things to last But we have to accept The past is the past. It was good to see old friends And join in the catch up game But even after being away a year Their gossip was still the same. And, then the chat seemed to fade Because what did I have to say About strangers they...

Premium Member Age and Attitude Adjustments
From age one to three Your life's barely startin', But it kicks into gear When you clear kindergarten. Then on to primary, grade school, And each stage in between, 'til you make it to twelve, And then finally thirteen. You've had sex once, you shave, You think life has begun When you burst out of twenty And into twenty-one. Then something horrible happens, It's the end of the...

You’re only as old as you feel some say. How will it feel on your eightieth birthday? Everything’s quieter and harder to see. Not everyone, just seems like it to me. Portions are smaller as we sit and dine. When we do drink it’s but one glass of wine. No longer can we just turn on a dime. And it gets harder...

Premium Member Making Adjustments
Goals never sleep; dreams never die. Though youth may set their goals sky-high, then find some vows are hard to keep, dreams never die; goals never sleep. Needs pass desires along the way, with work to do and bills to pay. Much perseverance life requires. Along the way, needs pass desires. The wise will make a compromise; those lofty dreams, they will revise— not...

Adjustments of a Man
Making the Adjustments If characteristics defines a man Then I do not choose to be categorized and placed in a box by the norms of society. It is my choice to level up, and exhaust all possibilities while paving new roads. It is my duty to watch where my feet tread, as I navigate my way through...

Making Adjustments
Though I make mistakes, at the end of the day, Your love remains the same, it doesn't lack in any way. I know there's love and compassion, However, I feel I never receive recognition, Unless it's a contradiction. So many times focused on the problem, And the things I do wrong. I hate to admit that at times...
