“Crack the King”
chunk of peruvian white,
a glass in torch-fire light,
that tell tale smell
and bubbling sound,
a hard hit wet one
is rolling down,
a red hot lawyer
was the talk of the town,
now a wide eyed
twisted frown of a clown,
bow to me and angels sing,
kiss my ring
for “I’m Crack the King”, ...

.. earthling
.. on a giant rock you spin around
a Star at every morning you glee,
childishly you rebuke your gifts,
polluting earth’s air, soil and seas..
killing off the butterfly
and especially the honey bees, 🐝
will end the cycle of crops you eat
and beautiful flowers 🌺 you breathe,
not taking care of your life supports
will certainly drop you to your knees,
and.. if or when this is the case
in the sure report you’ll see..
no future oxygen...

where the sun greets the edge of the sea..
.. through the trees
figures appear..,
as movement get closer
and focus is clear..
realizing now
“hey that’s not a deer”,
strange beings dressed
in threaded skins,
awkwardly walking
they came crumbling in..
hands in the air..
a shout “hello”,
others wave back,
“we’re not a foe”,
“we plea for help
to survive these lands”,
”of course we will help,
we’ll give you a hand”.. ...

.what’s good for the dad
is great for the lad
a father said to his son,
we’re one in the same,
both in the same frame,
we are dad and we are son..

on how a man should stand tall,
“a man needs to stand for bravery,
or for anything else he will fall”,
“real men never show fear
and real men don’t ever run”..
“karate, judo or boxing would be great defenses for a son,

2nd Amendment.. “Flipped”
a boy and a man
meet on a street..
on a corner they stand shoe to shoe,
on his hip
the man proudly displays
“amendment number two”,
the boy pulls a gun
and robs the man,
and now the boy has two..
the boy shouts
“up da money ol man
or i’ll bust “two” caps in you!!”,
the frightened man
hands over his cash,
the boy says “ yeah this will do!!”,
my dad has gone,
my brother is hungry,
