What Freadom?
You had it before you was born.
You new of it up until you was five.
You started fighting for it at 6 just to get some releif at 18.
You start to hear of it again at 19 & begin to fight again.
You win some releif at 21 yet never really winning until your dead.
It comes momentarily & yet tooken away instantly in America.
Freedom!

Rymes
I take my time
When writing my rymes
Setting up each and every line
Filtered and refined
Like the finest bottle of wine
Symphonies of similes
Scattered Willingly
As I weave in and out
With poet agility
Mesmerising with my
Metaphorical ability
Truths leave my lips
With purest of sincerity
My thoughts are sporadic
I write poetry like I am a addict
Ink in my needle Rythmik
Like a savage
When writing my rymes
Setting up each and every line
Filtered and refined
Like the finest bottle of wine
Symphonies of similes
Scattered Willingly
As I weave in and out
With poet agility
Mesmerising with my
Metaphorical ability
Truths leave my lips
With purest of sincerity
My thoughts are sporadic
I write poetry like I am a addict
Ink in my needle Rythmik
Like a savage

Fire Fight.
Last night at dusk; the hour I call “Oh Shit o’clock”, arrived. Briefing time was over and so were all the subsequent briefings that descend, step by step, to the rest of us.
Like a legend, each reordering of a briefing grows, adds urgency, severity and importance to the original plan. The seeming infinity of briefs inevitably cascaded to those ultimately impacted…the Marines who actually sling their weapons to execute the plan.
In a naked brooding silence, a clot of us listened to the recondite rendition of the operation plan.
Yesterday, as it does every day, night...

SHAME
Shame on you sir for all you've done
The lies you tell to feed you're plan
Shame on you ma'am for all you've seen
And turned away and hide from sin
Shame on you little one for all you've endured
Hardships you felt yet still you bowed
Shame on us all for we've strayed
If unity exists, then we shall be saved.
The lies you tell to feed you're plan
Shame on you ma'am for all you've seen
And turned away and hide from sin
Shame on you little one for all you've endured
Hardships you felt yet still you bowed
Shame on us all for we've strayed
If unity exists, then we shall be saved.

Please and Thank You!
No one really thinks with a PhD.
What they use instead is a brain
And almost never academically
Without some measure of neural strain,
Because it takes effort to read those books
Or to fill a chalkboard with equations
When searching for Republican crooks
In one of their routine tax evasions,
Which is why America has no cash
To educate the burgeoning masses
Of simpletons, morons, and trailer trash
With remedial social science classes,
Or at least a service of tea...
With etiquette lessons perpetually!

Net Co2 Emissions
With humans spewing CO2
And whole continents aflame
What in the world will we do
When entropy comes after you?
We can't keep doing things the same
We must be mindful what we spew
When concocting our next brew
By way of some pernicious flame
Resolving more hellacious goo
Or plasticine production sprue
Whose by-products are such a shame
With their double helix switcheroo
Knocking humanity's health askew
And only by some legal claim
Might those of us hope to renew
Depleted family revenue
Whereby the rich forever...
And whole continents aflame

Convict!
I don't think that it's spiritual to say
There's a silver lining in every cloud
Blocking the sun on the worst winter day,
When single sunbeams are considered a crowd,
As we all circle God's entropic drain
During the storm of ruination's flush
Picking the worst of the populist brain
Painting sweet freedom with too broad a brush.
But from all that we could well retire
If forbearance were better regarded,
As democracy is under fire
By citizens...extremely retarded,
While, with law, we would participate
To see hateful...

Still Missing You, Bobby
It was fifty four years yesterday
that we lost a connector of hopes
a link between many communities
whose ilk may not be seen again
Born into a family with wealth
his father still had the scars
of the prejudice of being devoutly Catholic
new money in the established corridors of power
Trained as a lawyer but with scant court experience
he worked for Joe McCarthy and it has even been said
conservative tendencies lined his politics
courting advocates of "segregation for ever"

Nature Praise & Honor
The standard delicious
Center of a jonquil on fire.
The blood in the
Mane of the lion.
Beneath the surface
With fingers
Of turmeric,
You dig a little.
The smell of bright sun
lined with pulp
& sweet ambition,
And deeply seeded with pride.
The packaging of a
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup;
I eat one at sunset,
And the other at sunrise.
Center of a jonquil on fire.
The blood in the
Mane of the lion.
Beneath the surface
With fingers
Of turmeric,
You dig a little.
The smell of bright sun
lined with pulp
& sweet ambition,
And deeply seeded with pride.
The packaging of a
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup;
I eat one at sunset,
And the other at sunrise.
