once, in America
Once, in America
I saw a wonderful picture of a female soldier coming home
after a tour of duty defending America against the enemy
In Syria or some other contested country.
She embraces her daughter, a perfect moment; we did not
ask any awkward questions about why invading a country is
defending America.
The USA is a country divided; we get news from Washington
and Wall Street and what the president says
but of real America, we know, not very much and what
we think we know, is usually mythical in western movies.
The Americans...

The Stranger
She wakes up to find
The house is in disarray
The cabinet doors are open
The back door is ajar
A stranger was in the house
She has no idea who he could be
She supposes she could ask
When he gets home from work
But he’s not doing any harm
The house is in disarray
The cabinet doors are open
The back door is ajar
A stranger was in the house
She has no idea who he could be
She supposes she could ask
When he gets home from work
But he’s not doing any harm

Deuces Wild
With deuces wild
and nickels and dimes
rolling the dice
discarding my sanity
and Mr. Potato Head
even if not Parcheesi
giving no spoilers
over whiskey waters
using the bottle flute
painting my dreams red
even if not Parcheesi
and nickels and dimes
rolling the dice
discarding my sanity
and Mr. Potato Head
even if not Parcheesi
giving no spoilers
over whiskey waters
using the bottle flute
painting my dreams red
even if not Parcheesi

Who will remember?
Who will remember
How many workers died while constructing
All these stadiums in Qatar?
Games bought with corruption all around.
Le PSG in difficulty. bought by Qatar
Qatar feeling threatened, stuck between iran and Saudi Arabia
Buys 25 fighter jets.....from France
How many other enveloppes full of cash dispensed here and there
For a critical vote?
So Qatar spends 250 BILLION to put itself on the world map.
As the old adage goes, money and sex make the world go round.

Rattlesnake
Today I went for a hike up a rocky desert hill
A jackrabbit crossed my trail
Peacefully hopping through his daily routine
I saw partridge birds
Consorting about over the topic of worms
I noticed the ease with which they kept their distance, but otherwise unalarmed
They had tools I didnt have
Flight, speed, I’m no threat to them
And I wasnt looking for them
And I wasnt a predator
I was prey
I was looking for a rattleshake
I wanted to be ambushed by her
Understand the shock, despair and disbelief of falling victim ...

Romantic love
Romantic love
So it was on this
Perfect November day
As they embraced by
The Statue of the Archangel holding his sword
And standing guard
Over the grave of their beloved parents,
Two lost souls
United in an Impossible Dream.
So it was on this
Perfect November day
As they embraced by
The Statue of the Archangel holding his sword
And standing guard
Over the grave of their beloved parents,
Two lost souls

The weird convolutions of the brain
Grace was a successful young woman. She was at ease in the world of high-tech, had an excellent income and, as well, came from a fllthy rich family. In need of help? One call to dad and the cash came pouring in.
She was lucky in the world of cash, not so much in the field of love where thing did not always go her way. Which was unacceptable. Her first Big Love was a failure. She made sure that the fellow ended up bankrupt. Poor him, he met many bottles of booze, then more and added a severe depression to the alcool.

Winter Skies
Doubts rain down from winter skies
the chill in my soul
mirrored
in overcast heaven.
Am I worthy of this life
is anyone?
My purpose proposed
my intent disposed
that leaves me wanting for something
more.
Too late
my words run dry
finding solace in heaven and hell
and that
in a nutshell
a crisis of spirit
seeking meaning in rhyme
and a new paradigm
praying for love, settling for lust
doubting my sanity
filling my life with vanity ...

Things Are Strange
Things are strange,
thoughts crowned with barbed wire
haunt the hallways of existence
in the castle of the mind.
I hear the mechanical moans
of serenity, a maiden tied
to the tree of impossibility,
hopeless staring
at a counterfeit moon
while I dine and drink
to the wreckage of a dream,
on dying light and broken glass.
Sex is a mirror full of snakes,
death overflows with honey
and apathy is the succubus
that consumes the clock
as I pray to gods of melting wax
for the stillness of dew,

CarNaTioNs FoR ThE BeST.
We wish you all the best,with the protest.
Went 2 Cambridge,
On his own back,
Now he's working,
For the NHS,
No investment.
Australia is looking,
For Doctors,double salary,they pay.
Better quality of living,
Its not just about the salary.
Engaging agency workers,
Doesn't help,
Doesn't help,at all.
Pay NHS workers,
Decent Salaries,
Make us proud 2 call them,our own.

Emotions of Evolution
Have I finally learned something new
Or am I simply becoming mature
I figure it obstinate to kneel your pew
As if personal religion is societal couture
Was I stunted by the external
Or was it avoiding belief expiration
My thoughts made it eternal
So I could pretend self-immolation
I don’t need to avoid anger
I can learn new ways to follow
My thoughts clearer of personal abuser
Will I learn to mentally swallow
I seek guidance from you
I realize now none of this is true
Can I believe myself to be few
No one needs...

Programmed generation
Dark lonesome roads
Lead to the dustbin of suburbia
Where a perpetual sunset
Hangs over slowly decaying youth
The excitement long gone
From the faces of jaded teenagers
They traded their spit and vinegar
For fake lives in a digital dream
Where does this leave us?
To twilight years in a corroded world
Memories of the trailblazers
Lost amongst the clickbait
Hold a fading candle
For their failed realization
They know not what their missing
In this programmed generation
Lead to the dustbin of suburbia
Where a perpetual sunset
Hangs over slowly decaying youth
The excitement long gone
From the faces of jaded teenagers
They traded their spit and vinegar
For fake lives in a digital dream
Where does this leave us?
To twilight years in a corroded world
Memories of the trailblazers
Lost amongst the clickbait
Hold a fading candle
For their failed realization
They know not what their missing
In this programmed generation
