POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You the murderer
For Syria we mourn
All the children fleeing
Killed by the bullet
Raped by the land
In which they were born
Time has not healed
Souls in a holocaust
Stones for the masses
Words on graves
That cannot speak
You the murderer
That fling humanity across
Across death's way,
Ugly is the truth
That you spread into a child's heart
Rivers of blood stream
Fires storm furnace
Talons clutch the living
Dropping humanity into the hole
The hole of suffering
Pray for this child who flees
Her...

Dropping humanity into the hole
The hole of suffering

The headman
As I walked down the farm's dusty lane
Thinking about the sheep before the shearer
The thousand sheep facing the pain
Of blood and stomach becoming much wearier
Then the horsemen came shattering by
Stood in front the headman with black whip
The bleating sheep waiting on why
Their breath thirsty in water's silent sip
One particular sheep took fright
And the headman saw this and gave chase like thunder
For this poor beast in blood's bloodiest sight
The whips and lashes of a cracking blunder
It died before my...

Jumped
It ain't easy
Being on the south side
By the waters edge
In the mud slide
It ain't easy
Slipping into the dark side
Standing on it's ledge
The not so wide
There you are
My shadow incarnation
Beneath the stars, a cat!
A cat of nines' annunciation
Then you jolted, just
Just before you jumped
A moments notice
The crowds blood pumped
It ain't easy
Being your shadow
No time for queasy
In heaven's meadow
Bite the bullet
Grit the teeth
Drive the narrow
Of the...

Listening to Jack Johnson
Listening to Jack
Johnson it's OK
To go that way
Straw hat and board sail
Down the coast
Free
I ain't cutting grass
And I ain't cutting arms, nope no more
Nothing at last
Just time past
Time weighs past
Free
Birds calling my name
Buses beeping my horn
Drums beating my call
Life ~ love ~ life ~ love see
So someday you'll be
Free free free....

Birds calling my name

Life ~ love ~ life ~ love see

USA decline
I've heard talk
That the USA is
Well on the decline
That civilisations great
Fall
All the kings horses ....
So here is my prayer
For America
"God save America"
......./Irving Berlin
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above....

The knife
Hell has no place
On this earth
It lies beneath.
The knife
The knife
Keeps stabbing
STABBING
Underneath
The heath
Where the red blood
Sits still
In a pool
Of blood ~
Look
At you
A corpse cool
No remorse
Come hither
No sympathy
Just a cold blooded
A cold blooded killer
On this earth
It lies beneath.

An angel goodbye
An angel goodbye
Don't ask why
She swims so far away
Across the ocean
Her tears none
For the commotion,
We are drowning
In our own sorrow,
Say goodbye to the
Angel of tomorrow
Don't ask why
She swims so far away
Across the ocean
Her tears none
For the commotion,
We are drowning
In our own sorrow,
Say goodbye to the
Angel of tomorrow

Dying in the moonlight
A poet must die alone
In a cold unkind place
Complete with anthology
Aside a candle
And a cobweb
Dat deus incrementum
God gives growth
To those who suffer
That they upon their tomb lay
Dying in the moonlight
For those who have sinned
A grave is now this day opportune
In a cold unkind place
Complete with anthology
Aside a candle
And a cobweb
Dat deus incrementum
God gives growth
To those who suffer
That they upon their tomb lay
Dying in the moonlight
For those who have sinned
A grave is now this day opportune

God of failure
O God of tears
Without you
Where would I be
For in these forests I dwell
Upon a broken heart
There I lay
Upon
The stone beside the brook no less
And there I choke
Upon the curse of Eris
Beside the brook
By the forest wood
Broken by what she took
A stake through my heart would
God of failure there I pray
These tears in rivers lay
Without you
Where would I be
For in these forests I dwell
Upon a broken heart
There I lay
Upon
The stone beside the brook no less
And there I choke
Upon the curse of Eris
Beside the brook
By the forest wood
Broken by what she took
A stake through my heart would
God of failure there I pray
These tears in rivers lay

Goodbye, jetaime
Wait, just a moment
Something special is about
To happen
Close your eyes
Put it in your mouth
Let the pockets of your cheeks
Explode with sweet
Sweet kisses
Taste the heaven
And the pain mamasoille,
The pain shall disappear
Into the night
So are the stars
The moon and planets
With every touch of your
Fingers entangled with love,
In the beauty of your touch
The grace of your voice
Mamasoille you bring to us
The elegant way of beauty
As your kisses say to me
Sweet heaven exists
In our...
