POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The odometer of my life is hidden from me which has me worrying about my legacy Is my existence a part of an eternal plan or am i just leaving temporary footprints in the sand Either way even if it is just spam i write therefore i am
Playing The Back Nine
When it comes to the game of life I ain’t Nicklaus or Woods
in my younger days sometimes I could show I had the goods
Sadly, I have very little to show for my 21,900 days on the greens
no fortune or fame by any means
My poetry is my consolation prize
that I bequeath to the world upon my demise
If it brings a smile or a tear
at least you will know that I was here
Currently in America life is at best Surreal
Sturm und Drang is all I feel
With my words I sound a clarion call
to tear down these mental Racists...

A POISONED WELL
On the internet we daily surf and stream
and occasionally find a funny meme
At the same time disinformation and misinformation
pollutes the minds of people in our nation
Everything now is not swell
and be careful you are not drinking from-A Poisoned Well

Sent By Heaven To Me
You are statuesque, muscular and lean
A descendant of an African Queen
You have an aristocratic air
Like a 100 carat diamond you are so rare
To your beautiful eyes I long to be near
they speak a language of love my heart need to hear
When you smile I run to you on the double
now I know how poor Adam got in trouble
When you speak it sounds like the Gettysburg Address
Your intellect never fails to impress
I would move heaven, earth and hell
just to talk to you on your "cell"
Sadly, none of the above...

A Bullet Doesn't Care*
A Bullet Doesn't Care
if we have straight or nappy hair
Or about the color of our skin
If we are fat vs thin
If we are dumb or a smartie
or who we vote for as a political party
Won or lost a beauty contest
or which religion we claim to be best
If we are Gay or Straight
or the last time we went on a date
It matters not to it if we changed our sex
or ramble on like Trump out of context
If we are Wealthy or Poor
or which sports team we adore
Or if we are Male vs...

*A House Divided
Battle lines are being drawn based on Them verses Us
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team
and elevating our collective souls should be our dream
If we engage in Civil War II
what/who will be left when we are through
For regardless of how old or how tall
A House Divided against itself-will surely fall

Believe*
You are the one we call on in the zero hour
for you have the ultimate power
Our shepherd who does not sleep
we are your lost sheep
We turn to you when our spiritual cupboard is bare
because we know you care
Like when Chemo causes us to lose our hair
and all we are left with is fear and despair
Or in the times we are in such pain that it makes it hard to breathe
you send an Angel to whisper in our ear the word-BELIEVE
for you have the ultimate power
Our shepherd who does not sleep
we are your lost sheep
We turn to you when our spiritual cupboard is bare
because we know you care
Like when Chemo causes us to lose our hair
and all we are left with is fear and despair
Or in the times we are in such pain that it makes it hard to breathe
you send an Angel to whisper in our ear the word-BELIEVE

Some Times The Bear Eats You
In life an endless winning streak
is the high we all seek
We all want to bask in the glow of an undefeated season
and to smile with joy for that reason
Sadly, the weather will change
and things will rearrange
So, when your Karma credit card statement reads payment past due
remember sometime you eat the bear and sometimes he eats you
is the high we all seek
We all want to bask in the glow of an undefeated season
and to smile with joy for that reason
Sadly, the weather will change
and things will rearrange
So, when your Karma credit card statement reads payment past due
remember sometime you eat the bear and sometimes he eats you

Global Conspiracy
They watch us on our computers like in the book “1984”
your personal freedom is being invaded like never before
Corporations follow you all over the net
to see what info. on you they can get
The powers that be record your calls out of Langley
lol and this they call the “home of the free”
Privacy is just an illusion-just wait and see
because this is the dawn of the global conspiracy

Deprogrammed and Reprogrammed
Madison Ave, Langley and the Kremlin
with their slogans brought to you via internet trolls and gremlins
Their goal is to control your focus
with their verbal hocus pocus
I don’t how you feel
but, the “Matrix” is real
We voluntarily log into it everyday
in hopes that it will serve life to us our way
The “System” plays us for a joke
and no evil does not go better with Coke
To free us we disparately need a hero
so everyday I look to the skies for our “NEO

CULT-ure of Death*
Express your caring for people while they are still alive
take the time to give them a verbal high five
Carpe Diem
you never know if again you will see them
Call, e-mail, write or text
so your feelings of love can be annexed
Fill the world with laughter
share joy today instead of dreaming about it in the hereafter
A kind word or a smile
lingers in the mind for a quite a while
Stop waiting to celebrate people after they have drawn their last breath
We must put and end to this…………..CULT-ure of Death

Another Grandmother, Mother or Daughter didn't come home today
and their love ones are worried if they are okay
They didn't show up to work or school
or maybe a play date at the pool
It has been 21 years now that Diamond and Tionda Bradley have been gone
and no one arrested for this wrong
Their info. in now a cold case
and sits in a bankers box some place
As a society we all pay the cost
as these love ones and family suffer the ultimate loss
and their love ones are worried if they are okay
They didn't show up to work or school
or maybe a play date at the pool
It has been 21 years now that Diamond and Tionda Bradley have been gone
and no one arrested for this wrong
Their info. in now a cold case
and sits in a bankers box some place
