Accounting Haikus

Entering, tracking
Calling for updates; fixing
Not hard, but busy

By James Baker



Righting wrongs weekly
Meanwhile, wrongs wax daily
Look, here comes one now

By Samuel Tunes

Lost Reality by Russell Tunes

Do we create what is not so that we may be,

To give essence a soul and life to hope?

We're creatures of this universe,

And of our own limitations.

Bound by our imperfections,

We search for divinity to set us free.

What shall we find of speach,

But our own voices echoing in solitude.

Is there hope left in procreation,

To give eternal life to man?

Never shall I know of life,

For I am but destined to mortality.

Life is my curse by Michael Tunes

when i wake up in the morning

do i wish to breath

walking to school each day

wondering will it end

hearing those manny words

that pirce in my heart

why dose this happen?

what could i do

what may i do

to help the ones who cry

Hold Me Tightly by Samuel Tunes

Verse 1
I forsook
And you forgave
And Now it’s your love
Your love I crave

You took my hand
You led the way
When things get tough
Don’t you ever walk away

Chorus A
Hold me tightly
Tighter than you’ve ever held me
Coz I can’t stand this feelin’
I think I'm losin' my mind
Because you are my reason
My only reason for breathin'
How am I to fight the good fight...
Alone?

I forsook
And you forgave

Verse 2
When you looked into my gaze.
You saw within the purity.

You read my book.
You turned my page.
You read my heart,
And took away all the rage.

Two as one
It’s all or none

Oh no you can't...
You can’t just love part of me.

Chorus B
So hold me tightly
Tighter than you’ve ever held me
Coz I can’t stand this feelin’
I think I'm losin' my mind
Because you are my reason
My only reason for breathin'
How am I to fight the good fight?
How am I to live my life right?

Verse 3
And I find,
Find in you
That which was
Lost in me

You have brought
Joy into
Into my
My life

Having you
Entirely
Eternally
As my wife

Entirely
Eternally

It's what you will always be

The Breeze by Samuel Tunes

Coming to you like a new disease
That carries with the breeze
Contagious words that slip into your ears with ease
With infectious humility I break the will of the strong
It won't be long before they do something wrong
Then a thermonuclear bomb lands on your lawn
Some try running away before they run out of time
Before they start losing their mind and commit a crime
Upon humanity, realizing that they can't win the race
A multitude marches in place
Disparity upon their face
They begin to taste
Insanity that they embraced

Apagar a distância by Samuel Tunes

E eu não quero acordar desse sonho, tão cedo, tão cedo
Eu sinto, desespero
Mais lembrança da distancia vem e vira pesadelo,

Desesperação, eu sinto.
Uma sensação que não eu quero mais

Estou cansado, de te ter, e não ter
Cada encontra, eu despedir de você
E só de costas, você conseguiu me ver
Não quero mais, viver sem você

Fecha os olhos e vem comigo,
Voltando para nossa jardine de amor.
Sonhando sonhos nos conseguimos
Criar um amor de infância

Fecha os olhos e vem comigo
Para a
Sonhando sonhos nos conseguimos
Apagar a distância

A nossa cura viro uma doençaa
Será que recompensa
Sofrendo por causa dessa dor
Em nome de amor

Como poso dizer que você não e para mim
Quando o meu coração fica dizendo sim

Esperando pra o Tempo (Translated) by Samuel Tunes

A Dor Que eu Sinto by Samuel Tunes

a dor que eu sinto acaba comigo
a minhia vonatge e de ficar com tigo
nada mais fas sentido
seu amor e tao bonito
cada paso que eu tomo sem voce e pra tras
nao importa o que eu fas
conquistar o mundo, e superar a morte
meu coracao foi conquistado
eu so querro ficar du seu lado
si dinehro nao e importante pq naos estaom separdados por causa dele
e si nossa vida e pra ser boa pq que ele esta tao ruim
me perdoa meu amor pq eu nao aguento essa agonia
eu detesto quando voce fica fria
me dar o seu calor por favor
eu nao foi feito pra esse mundo
mais eu foi feito pra voce

The Pulse Still Pulses - Inspired by a Brazilian Song

The pulse still pulses
The pulse still pulses

Ulcer, Lymphatic cancer, leprous leukemia
Rage, rubella, bursitis, and soon there after anemia
Rancor, cavities, cramps, Hepatitis, Hernia
Bubonic Plague, Gall Bladder Stones, and burning Gonorrhea

The pulse still pulses
The pulse still pulses

Brucellosis, Encephalitis, chronic kleptomania
Toxoplasmosis, Arterioscleroses, spastic diarrhea
Syphilis, Aphasia, Demented Schizophrenia.
Hypothermia, Myopia, on occasion hypochondria

The body is still meager
The body is still meager

Rheumatism, cynicism, Thrombosis, Hypocrisy
Typhoid, Tuberculoses, and a tumorous pituitary
Fever, Flu, Phlegm, Muscular Dystrophy
Sinusitis, Laryngitis, and every kind of Heart Disease.

The pulse still pulses
The pulse still pulses

To live or die? by Samuel Tunes Published by Poetry.com Immortal Verses Series, 2006

Inside there is a question burning. Why?
I find not the answer for which I am yearning. Why?
I'm too busy, the stress is stacking. Why?
There is something that I am lacking. Why?
My peace of mind is always fleeing. Why?
I'm always left with this empty feeling. Why?
I feel alone yet they're all staring. Why?
Tears flow from others lack of caring. Why?
I deserve to receive others loving? Why?
I don't know, and thus my question, "To live or die?"

I love my job

Oh Damsel of Despondency! by Samuel Tunes

Although my soul has been beaten in the raging tempests of passionate defeats, my heart defiantly beats on.  I Wish I could just walk away from the whole thing in one clean break, but my heart will not permit me to do so.  And now my skin is caressed by the thin veil that separates heaven and hell.  My longing for love leads me towards lunacy, and yet, my soul remains unsatiated by the very insanity that drives me.  Everything points me away from your arms, and yet I find myself in them time and time again.  In the other room there is banquate in my honor, and yet I scavage around your table for the falling fruits of passion that are mercifully discarded in my favor.

I Keep My Brother by Samuel Tunes

Why is it that a child is punished,
when he tries to solve his problems with his fists?
He comes home to find his parents pissed.
So they yell, spank, ground him, and take away all his privileges.

However,
if that child grows up into politics
he’s free to use violence.
What kind of precedence
are we setting
what kind of messages
are we sending?
I must admit
it’s hard to resist
my tempestuous
indignation, it’s ridiculous.
I stand in awe as I witness
my kind’s ignorance.
And yet I feel so helpless
like a humanist
with banded wrists.

However,
I remain pacifist,
a white dove activist
always keeping in the heart of my chest
my brother’s interest.
