new varied poems

 

Atomic Wind

Reams and reams of nuclear bombs

Being made in the special factory

Churned out like hot cakes

All different types so many uses

Big megaton city killers

Small sub atomic tacticals

Everything in-between and more

A nuke designed for all things

Like different cake varieties

Eclair cakes for cheeky gals

Custard tarts for total slags

The same with these warheads

It works and brings profit

And power for the mighty

Terrifies the weak wannabes

Who want peace and prayers?

The power of the bomb wins

 

 

 

Undertaking

The way of things is the way of the world

It goes this way and that a state of affairs

Oil rigs being built deployed used retired

More assembled for future industrial usage

Thousands of tons of machinery designed

Put into the ocean assembled on site

It was a vast undertaking taking years

Oil deep under the ocean being retrieved

The oil pumped out till no more was possible

At least not with that level of technology

In time it would advance and more oil

Would be used by nations and consumers

What would happen when it was gone?

Replaced by hydrogen electric solar and more

The rigs outdated replaced by scrap metal

All part of machines history industry what?

 

 

 

 

 

Club Fight

We all wanna be Tyler Durden in Fight Club

Do we wanna be the split personality

Or screwing the posh goth gal

Or running a para military group

Or having the building squash us

Do we all really wanna be him?

 

 

 

 

2 Cards

The beautiful communist got me 2 cards

Each with a Hammer and Sickle on it

The authorities could question me

The NPA could recruit me

History could inspire me

Just 2 printed cards

  

 

 

Hang It

This gal is the hang up queen

Every time I call her

She says Hi

And hangs up on me

Is it my charm on her?

 

 

ACW 12

One agent spent 12 hours on ACW!

After Call Work doing who knows what

Maybe watching films playing video games

Reading a book a magazine a newspaper

One and a half working days on ACW

Not working taking calls doing what?

Was it after one call the rep did this?

Take a single call that lasted 30 minutes

Then do notes and update the account

Taking one and half days to do it!

12 hours of ACW not doing calls

Helping customers with concerns

If this wasn’t bad another rep

Was 8 hours over a full day!

Maybe both reps were drinking

Chilling telling jokes not working

12 hours ACW for all of November…

 

 

 

Mass Made

Insidious female

Unstable woman

Made in China

Red CCP turtle

Bad standards

Millions the same

Travel new short story

 


Travel

In our line of business certain things are done. Sometime those things are legitimate and other times illegal, as we say business is business. Our aims are our goals and vice versa. Take the other day I was in the mountains in the far north. There I met a man whom I did business with. We share a similar view and want the same desired result. I’m not at liberty to say what those are or what we discussed except to say we did business. I also ate his wife’s cooking and intimately got to know his sister and drank with his brother. Such things are allowed and encouraged in our line of work. This is similar to a trip I once did in the Arctic three summers ago. I miss the cold and whiteness of the snow. The desert is different. It doesn’t matter if I don’t like it; the concern is that business gets done. Some things must be done face to face and not by letter, by messenger, by satellite phone or other means. So my boss sent me to that place to meet those people and to work. I travelled slowly, simply, securely and serenely in a different world unlike the city or snow lands or off world planets. How many people still considered that part of our own world could be alien? They were too busy looking upwards where they saw wonderful things and made new discoveries. I’d shared their desires, joys and beliefs but rapidly tired from it. I decided to keep my feet on the ground and stay on world. I believed in what was here and took an oath to protect it. I liked to feel I did my bit while others lived their mundane lives oblivious of the truth. We made it that way for a reason and would continue to do so. My job here was done and results had been achieved. I had two days off to meditate or explore the shifting sands and mountains. Then I would be reprofiled and sent elsewhere. I had a sneaking feeling I’d end up deep in the jungle next time. I had some acclimatisation pills just in case. Anywhere was fine for the work was the same as was our cause. I missed my sister who had vanished three years before. We knew where she was but couldn’t get her back or even a message to her. I worked for two reasons. They were my cause and my firm belief I would see her again. Our line of work had risks and the rewards far outweighed them. That didn’t stop me missing her or wondering what she would’ve achieved if she had still worked with us. Her capabilities were far more than mine and the results she obtained were equally impressive. No worries, I was pleased with my work here and would be equally committed to my next job. If it was jungle or high seas. You see we simply had no choice doing what we did. If you were one of us then you’d understand. And if I could show you then all would be fine. I planned to relax over the next two days. Then anything would happen.
