Thee Underclass
It was thee 18th century, and I was just a mere vagabondus.
I couldn't hold down a job, I think one week was my longest!
With a peaky blinders cap and my waistcoat on tight,
I would wander thee streets at night, drunk, and get into fights.
It was thee old days of Landan, full of buskers and harlots.
Staggering past thee beggers, on thee way to thee market.
I met a Dorris called Charlotte, going past on her horse and cart,
She offered me a lift and asked where I'd like to depart?!
She was talking all jargon about nobility,...

The Typewriter
When a boy, the world appears near
climbing over fences, no need to open a gate
Across our house, a grey building, a school
for those who wanted to be welders or
architects or some other trade.
The caretaker had many keys, we thought
he was the boss, wore a yellow coat
and walked with dignity
He shouted at us kids to show who
tough he was, but most of the time
he let us play in the schoolyard
in a ditch, a trapped cat. we lowered
a bucket down for the moggy to jump into
but it was not willing, the...

True Justice (Desert Hunt)
Through the New Mexico desert night like rats they ran
Six backpack carrying illegal males accompanied by a long-haired woman,
“The weakness of the government’s border security made him 357 mad
So once again the desert hunt was on for the illegals trespassing ass,
“With his night vision on he followed the illegals as they fled
Three head shots from his LSR employed them in the land of the dead,
“The woman caught a round through the left and right knee
While another jumped down a cactus filled slope attempting to flee,

A Droplet Inside of your Teeth
Grievances slide to which side I was thinking about previously
In all my silly syntax of teeth I couldn’t produce the right response, but once I’m inside of your thoughts…
There was an honest moment when I lost it, but it wasn’t now, because the now is now knowing that the notes are fluttering, flowing, flying amongst me and you together forever
Will you be my bride?
Where are my manners?
You and I will be your bride
What silliness
What!
Time forever invades the message of what is real
Really?
Well...

ARREST ME
Arrest Me
I do solemnly and sincerely swear that the evidence I shall give
Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...
Firstly allow me to say “i love you” to this vanilla taste-like creature with a soft chocolate skin standing here.
Tit for tat, what’s mine be mine, i want to make a plea;
Your honor, Mr Cupid I am pleading not guilty.
Yes of-course there is no ring or even a print on her finger,
For i never get a chance to insert it.
But our secret matrimony be my general verdict.
Fury not but we do not need a jury, ...

Under den Linden
Unter den Linden
I have a soft spot for the German language
when a toddler, I had free access to a military camp where they had enormous horses and let me sit on top of one of them (looking up horses,
I think they were Belgian draft horses)
Since I was 5 years old at the time, I reserve the right to be wrong
My mother said I could speak a little German
I don't think so, but when the Brits and the Americans came, my few words of German were too soon forgotten.
In the late fifties, I was onboard an old ship that

a land of honey'
The land of honey?
Most Americans I know of are writers and artists
who sees when a crime has been committed
alas, the US government and its politicians are held
in the grasp of the Zionist who has thoroughly
corrupted most of those who carry a big responsibility
for world peace, fail to do so.
I love America, but my love affair with this great land has taken many knocks and led astray by enemies within its border who have, because of US generosity, been able to grab the political power and rule America

TO THE UNVACCINATED THE HEROES OF THE WORLD
Even if I was pollinated and fully vaccinated
I would EDMIRE the UNVACCINATED
For withstanding the greatest pressure iv ever seen.
From parents partners children friends colleges and even doctors.
People who are capable of such personality,
Courage and critical ability
Are undoubtedly the best part of humanity.
They are everywhere, in all ages,
Levels of education, states and ideas.
They are of a special kind of people,
They are the soldiers that every army
of light wants to have in their ranks,
They are the parent...

Younger Person’s Clothes
The dreams and hopes of youth
may change as one ages
the function of life experiences
and also the loss of naivety
A lad in junior and senior high
wanted to shape government
be the first male African American
US Senator of the most populated state
Head heroes, some who were politicians
others who critiqued society with songs
poems and dramatic parts
a strong sense of connectivity
Working my way through under graduate
and volunteering on campaigns
I relished actively engaging people

Beowulf Pt.2
I asked her what his name was, then dropped the silver on the floor screaming it
His mother burst into a hysterical laugh, hoping that she was dreaming it
I should had seen the resemblance, I should had been a better parent than my own
His mother is promising death to me and the guilt wont leave me alone
I buried Grendel among my gods, a boy without a father lead wayward
I should had been proud of his many conquest instead of listening to the naysayers
His mom constantly tries to bed me and asking if I want something to eat
In between her promise to...

Beowulf
I, I am Beowulf a God among men
Adventurer of a many exploits, my beginnings touches my ends
My existence began so far away, in the dark recesses of a country town
Across an ocean and hidden behind a mountain range, no more than a whelp when found
Offered to board a ship, to be fed while learning a trade
Thirty pieces of silver exchanged hands, my parents smiled and a deal was made
Carted off to the ship, the first I’d seen the ocean or been away from home
The hard work I was accustom, but enough to eat wasn’t the norm
I learned my duties...
