Man, Religion, And War
Man, religion, and war has been thriving concept of surviving between nations. It is the last option to consider or declare from the result of failed political negotiations.
This demoralizing way of life has been the demise of kingdoms, going back as far as B.C, A.D, and its prominence when bringing down the enemy gives balance of power to democracies here today.

Not his fault
He tased him to death.
Not his fault.
The man was on the ground
And cuffed.
But he moved
So he was a threat
Thus no choice
And with the full power
Of the law
He was blessed.
Not his fault.
The man was on the ground
And cuffed.
But he moved
So he was a threat
Thus no choice
And with the full power
Of the law
He was blessed.

Straight Talk Live (Food For Thought-Mental Clothing You)
I closed my eyes and rested my mind on top of the moon
As I looked up into the darkness of the skies
A place where you are one within the universe devoid of mental gloom
I realized I was not alone
Traces of my past and my present footsteps embedded
Oh God, I continue to pray for an answer, where are we headed
I ask the Lord how strife continues to exist when we are here to spiritual atone
How could this uncertainty of life perplex us to ask where we truly belong
A figment of the imagination, yet to our eyes, the birds sing its morning songs ...
As I looked up into the darkness of the skies

Oh God, I continue to pray for an answer, where are we headed

How could this uncertainty of life perplex us to ask where we truly belong
A figment of the imagination, yet to our eyes, the birds sing its morning songs ...

I SHALL RISE ON THE WAVES OF HOPE
A SAD BUT EASY OBSERVATION
The tide of despair,
frustration, and hopelessness
is flooding the land
like a Tsunami,
BUT I shall ride the
waves of HOPE.
The undercurrents of
hatred, rejection, and
frustration are stealing
our peace, joy, and happiness,
BUT I shall ride the
waves of HOPE.
The hurricanes of doubt,
fear, and lawlessness batters
the shore of our peace of mind,
BUT I shall ride the
waves of HOPE.
The waves of HOPE
spring from the deep
wells of optimism and faith
buried...

Boxing
Great boxer.
Many titles to
His belt.
A perfectionist
On and off the ring
But with this fight
He took more than
He could chew --
First round, one
Solid punch
And way before
The count,
He was gone.
Many titles to
His belt.
A perfectionist
On and off the ring
But with this fight
He took more than
He could chew --
First round, one
Solid punch
And way before
The count,
He was gone.

Something Afoot!
I am a bit puzzled,
Kerfuffled,
And confused
As i don't understand
Why
My feet
Are called feet
When they are only
Nine inches long
And ive always been
A size eight
Puzzling in itself
As feet normally
Grow larger with age
Yet now
I'm a size seven
And that pussyfooting
Has nothing to do
With either
Cats
Nor feet?

mere dreams
awoke I walk thru the steam
arisen from the crux of invisibility
three weeks mere three weeks
that's all that's left
i alone
told in a dream
i'twas more than darkness
passing beyond my eye
beauty swaying (be)for(e) me
me holding {on}
i'd never let you die
°
honey crisp of apple
hung out in sweet disguise
do i
awaken
dare not awaken
ripened
bits left to bite
fortunes bled
onto my tongue
swallowed with my pride
thoughts swirl
with a call to battle ...

the problem with certainty.
I early voted yesterday,
had a sense of relief
until I remembered....
..... that I felt similar
in 2016

Steamy
Usually it's too much
Rising and conquering
Till I am depleted and gasping
Today however just right
My 80 year old steam radiator
On low
Window open
Gentle balance
Heat juxtaposed against autumn chill
Just right
Rising and conquering
Till I am depleted and gasping
Today however just right
My 80 year old steam radiator
On low
Window open
Gentle balance
Heat juxtaposed against autumn chill
Just right

Our Boys
The double-pump
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs
