Citizen Wealth

Cabin fever is setting in as food poisoning has kept me basically bed ridden for the last few days;

there is a constant noise in my head.

I should be doing something to help others less fortunate than “moi.”

Instead i do very little…

Privileged with wealth and health

through no effort of my own.

                                  good fortune

Citizen

working poor

not too much fun

as i sit in my bathrobe

on a late Thursday afternoon,

high, 

listening to kids play soccer

and the birds squirmish 

                                                

The working day is almost done.         

 

Capitalist

This morning, attended a general meeting, for a small junior mining company who believe because gold has been found in the mountains of Nevada it can also be found in the valleys. The stock trades at less than a dime and they’re the largest land holder in the state. An experienced geologist has a hunch that water samples collected in the desert will show similarities, in terms of mineralization, and those areas should be explored,

its obviously more complicated than that,

but basically                                               that’s it.

It’s kind of a good story and a billion dollar producer has bought in,

four million dollars worth of drilling...and if they hit

I could get a bingo 

                                    from a dime to a dollar.

The vice president said

i could participate in a financing,

                                                      which i thought was nice

.07 common

and a free 1/2 warrant at .10

                                        A million shares for 70k…

and 500 thousand free ones at a dime…

                         and with four million dollars being spent on drilling…

                                       it’s a bet

The Unconscious conscious

world vision says I can buy a well

for 15k and help a village

in some starving part

of the world

                          THE QUESTION

                     Can i be a working poet,

                              an activist and

                                        a stock market investor?

I ask a friend

He says not to worry

they all rhyme

                                  

and the popular author whom i have not read:

 

 

Wall Mart

                                                                                                                            2  employs 2 million poor Americans

and sells to families making under 30k,

which is half of America,

at a wage of $7 an hour

which for the third and second world would be good news…

                       the problem is the system

             this we all know…

a 100k plus crowd lives well by all standards

                                  except their own…

                                                     Is greed still good?

ME

off to an island,

populated by

liberal elites,

conservatives,

old hippies

and the usual suspects,

including Dr Ether

to look for a cabin

to “sink into my dreams”

Townes Van Zandt.

STREET

And the word on the street

my alcoholic homeless friend

has found an apartment 

through a social agency

                           he’s a  fuck nut

                                                           “home is where the heart is”

as my old girlfriend Linda Pasic use to espouse

                            My blog roll is cool…oops… i made it uncool.

an eighty year old heroin addict

living in a basement

of an apartment building

and sometimes

when his friends come over at 2AM

they bother other residents in this over 55 complex

he still hasn’t been evicted

so i don’t for see any problems.
