Read and think of every single line.

I want to plead to you all with these lines
Would you all be able to take in all these rhymes?
Though I’m smothered with personification
And I gathered metaphors & alliteration.
What am I without my maker?
Who’s a servant without his master?
I hope in the rain we can see the clouds
And when it snows we would see the sun
If you cause your neighbour pain
Hope you don’t feel no joy
Cause emotions are not toys
We all sometimes get in the boxing ring
But when punches start to swing
We ask who put us in there?
Cause we are consumed with terror & fear;
Mobster Al Capone said he killed no-one
But his orders dropped dead more than sixty-one
People like him killed for the thrill
Not thinking how the creator might feel

Everyday from sky news, 37 dead in Iraq, 22 bombed in Afghanistan is all we get
More doom and gloom is all they get,
Would they be any green shoots?
when would the soldier in green quit letting off his shoots?
There say war is peace
did they have to go to war
to make peace?
This paradox is proud yet
literally lethal and also
callously catastrophic to war victims.

God is number 1 spot
Can poet ivy contain the number 2 spot?
Let’s be as graceful as a ballet dancer
Let’s be as grateful as a tipped valet parker
Let’s be as sharp in precision and speed as Ali

Just cease to be callous
And cause your neighbour no loss,
Don’t go in to kill for a thrill,
Think of how the creator would feel;
Reflect richer, don’t make poor choices,
Cause your neighbour no losses,
I’m hoping you will understand
Oh, I’m hoping you should understand.

The Great Depression
A collection of poems by Poet Ivy out in March.

I Mean i love that the internet has given people the opportunity to voice their opinions and address issues, i mean the real issue going on in the world, i love the fact that people have the opportunity to compare products without leaving their houses, I love the fact that people can share opinions through mediums like Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, YouTube etc.

There’s a lot of don’t do this and don’t do that, I don’t believe there is the right way to do anything, that’s the reason why every entrepreneur has a different journey and a different destination but as funny as it sounds they all end up making mistakes and i mean these guys have probably read almost 8 biographies of their mentors, self help books, personal development and other “useful” books, not to mention seminars and conferences, so why does it happen, why do people still make mistakes. The simple truth is, an entrepreneur has his/her own unique idea and will put that idea into action in a way that has never been done before.

Planning is good, A business should always have a plan, but i mean planning as you go along is essential , I hear people say i will figure it out on the way, i think most of that sentence is true, but you have to plan before you start, but be flexible as your plan can change.

A Major threat to every entrepreneur is negative people, why do you have to be so negative, really you’re at the other end of the screen doing nothing or probably won’t do anything with your life, so why not applause, encourage people.

I find in the UK that entrepreneurial success is not embraced but instead shut out, which is not fair, i feel everyone going out of their comfort zone to make the world a better place or simply to make use of their hidden potential should be applauded.

Negativity is the new positive, I mean people get paid to be negative, Journalists spend most of their life on earth looking at the negative parts of people’s life, I mean it is cool to look at people and correct their wrong doings but not simply crucify them

I simply say if your criticism is not constructive, then look within yourself because i think it is jealousy.
