Sam
You don't have to turn on the red light
Cause it don't make no difference
You don't have to sell your employees to the night
Sam
You don't have to show that accident sign-in tonight
Cause there's too many injured employees
And the pain is getting too high
Sam
We have had enough bad health care
Told we have to pay for accidents cause by neglect
Pay with our pain and our frustration at a company who sells us out
Sam
You can keep your damn money
We just want a day off
Away from you and your uncaring management and workers

by Wayne Palesado

Stress filled, overloaded, disheveled being.
Unwound into a tangled creature ached.
Stemming from the abuse given daily.
In order to function within the progression.
Stumbling in the race that dictates it's winners.
Feel the sting as your lost in the populace.
Who is unannounced for your effort.
Weary and rotting in an aging shell.
Cracks felt, yet strong casing lingers.
How long can you survive? You may ask.
Question unanswered as the alarm bell rings in the mourning hour.

Weeping ageless
on the moonlit street,
grabbed by branches
a bare winter's feast,
ice stiff birches
exploding upwardly!

I wonder what temperature the CEO of our company has where he works?
Could it be the 500,000 dollars it would take to air condition our work place
Instead goes to his air conditioned office, car, yacht, truck, and swimming pool
Instead of a cool and comfortable temperature, we get Gatorade
I wonder how many factories have similar stories to tell about how hot it is
Or better yet, how many can really say they work in air conditioning
Or have a fan blowing on them at least?
This corporate greed just keeps right on rolling over good people
So a few fat cats can delight in the misery they create
Is is wrong to wish some of that misery back on them?
Of course it is, but I do find myself fantasizing
About what will happen to them when they die
Will they see the light and treat their workers with dignity
Or will they just donate some of their stolen cash to some church?
Is it better to kiss God's large fanny or people down here on planet earth?
I guess tomarrow will answer that question once again!

I got some music CD's today from a coworker at work
He had been promising me this music for about five years
I was very surprised when he gave it to me
I went through the music to find what to keep
All the while smelling cigarettes
The one case was made out of leather
Leather must really hold smoke smell well
Because this thing had not seen any smoke for over five years
Yet it smelled of cigarettes like it had been yesterday
I took what I wanted and donated that smelly case to Goodwill
Maybe a smoker will find it's smell dreamy

1. Picking up aluminum cans. I made 400 dollars in 7th grade doing this when the price of aluminum per pound was 28 cents.

2. Mowing grass. I did this for 25 years and made some good extra money doing it.

3. Robbing a bank. Stealing is probably one of the fastest ways to make some extra cash. It does carry some moral baggage for some, so this one hasn't been one of mine, plus if you get caught it's some guaranteed jail time.

4. Prostitution. This is another one that I haven't tried, and I haven't paid for either. There are many who make some extra cash tax free this way, but the dangers of picking up a disease plus possibly being hurt or killed make this one a risky way to score some extra loot.

5. Murder for hire. This one is a problem for me as I worry about that whole burning in hell for eternity consequence, but those who don't mind the bad afterlife results can really make some extra cash really quick, or about as long as it take for the bullet to come out of the gun and hit your target.

6. Begging. This one can be done with some old clothes and a cardboard sign with some catchy phrase on it. There are some who pretend to be homeless and do pretty well with this one, but here again I have to pass as I feel the really needy need the handouts more than I do.

Here is a list of employees where I work

At work there is a wall with all the employees on it
The person who has been there the longest started in October 1974
He has worked there for 43 years 2 months and 15 days
He is beyond the age of retirement as he is 63 years old
He works for the health insurance and to pay for dental care
His wife does not take care of herself and needs constant care
Then there are the rest of the them, all men

I worked with a guy who has three years left to work
Then he is going to save up his five weeks of vacation
And roll it over to the next year in 2021
Then he will have 10 weeks of vacation
Including whatever sick time he has left
So he should retire some time in March 2021
He will be celebrating his 40 years of working there in July
He has only voluteered to work on Saturday twice in the last five years
He is one of the smart ones
He only has to work at this place 235 days a year
While anyone with less than 30 years has to work all Saturdays
Some volunteer for every day they can get
So it's around 300 days a year if you just work the mandatory overtime
If you volunteer it may be months before you have any time off
But at least you'll have some extra cash
To pay all those medical bills from working too much

Marriage
Requires work
Don't give up
When you feel down
Pray

Good bad day
Su'mm fe save
Su'mm av fe slay
Manifesting molding vibrations like clay
Flying higher goin deeper
Fe break make wake dem outa sleeper
Causing da earth to rebirth, rolling as da grim reaper
Maime n kill
Negative vibrations that do not conform to ma will
Ya can chill
But too much chilling ain't fulfilling The Most High promise of everyting
Sight without sound
Sky without ground
Flip da script
And turn this shit upside down
Envelopin through
World outside of this
On the inside of this
Bending perception n makin a hiss
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
These fake snakes they bake cake to entice cos your energy they wanna take
I TOLD YOU A BILLION TIMES BEFORE you empower you, you are the key to unlock your own blowsback Divinity, still you a look pun me, we look yes, breathing peace Love n happiness as much more bliss I manifest, ya need some good milk inna ya breast, fe feed da poor n needy, hopeful or hopeless
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
God Goddess
Feel the heat burning
NRG twirling n churning
Turning you outa you
Creating a vibration which is true
To you
Somewhat old yet new
Beat ya til ya black n blue
Til your memory connects
Til your ego n pride respects
All that be
All that you see n don't see
All you can imagine or draw from your core
I'm gonna grind your
Grind ya face into the floor
Til you recognize
And real eyes
The obvious blatant open door
No need to reach or stretch
For a simple perception
Tweaked in another direction
To glow n flow without ego
To hell wid tomorrow
The time is NOW
1 o'clock NOW
2 o'clock NOW
3, 4 o'clock
It don't stop
And don't move
So how can it stop?
The infinite imaginary
Decoded in codes binary
This is not rocket science but primary
School
Is where we learnt these rules
But the ego did a great job turning most into fools
I said
I'm here to revive some dead
Bones
The moans n groans
Sucking em up lika leech
Every aspect I can reach
I'm not here to I teach
Nor preach
Simply spitting ma truth
Of what I do
How I do
By believing in me
You gotta believe inna you
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
Reflections of me is all eye see
Your will my will
The will of The Most High
Will
Always & iN All ways will be
Evident
To represent n prezent iN our present
Aligned iN alignment
An appointed time for refinement
Awareness raising
Gazing not gazing
Praising not praising
Blossomed or caved iN
This journey for da brave
Unless ya comfortable with bein a slave
I don't mean system
I mean slave to your own way of thinkin
Do ya really listen
When conscience, Spirit speak
Are you humble n meek?
Or does the ego reach its peak?
Ok
Ok
All of you
And me we be
Relevant reflections
Ordained to proclaim The Most High n awesome perfection
The right the wrong
The short or long
All things n every1ne
Complimenting this All vibration
Win lose
Always choose
Smile
Bring joy n happiness
And manifest
That same vibration back to you ten times strong
Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssss
