Sir Captain Tom Moore R.I.P
Sadly England lost a 100 year war hero and Covid fund raiser. He raised over 30 million pound for our National Health Service
To pay for protective equipment for Dr's and nurses fighting the Covid 19 Virus he sadly succumbed to it yesterday. REST IN PEACE SIR TOM
Captain Tom Moore RIP
We have had some heroes, from this land we call our home, with daring deeds and heroic tales to chill us to the bone.
Soldiers fighting many foes, many gave their lives, gave their all for freedom, so many widowed wives.

every now and then, a little light shines through
when you grieve
let the tears be
enough to turn
deserts into
an oasis
when you stand,
stand tall enough
that your shadow
eclipses the highest
mountain peek
when you create,
create with the
force of a sun
going nova
in living, live
like death is
biting you on
the ass
fight every
day
every
hour
every
minute
every
second
fight every
lie
fight the miseries
of the everyday
that shoot...

Two Hundred Smiling Orphans
On a bright and sunny morning in the early January of 1994 I stood in the peaceful tranquillity of Janusz Korczak Square within the walls of Yad Vashem, Israel's famous monument to the victims of the Holocaust, which is perfectly sited near the Jerusalem Forest on the western slope of Mount Herzl (Mount of Remembrance), Jerusalem. I gazed in awe there at a large sculptured statue portraying a bearded man embracing a dozen small children as if he was protecting them from something or someone wicked. I was, in fact, looking at a fine statue standing approximately twice life size and...

legned proof
Past the field and smoke-filled highway he can see the late afternoon sky peeking its way through the smog and chaos caused by his arrival as he waits. Deep set eyes, standing tall, a mid length tan-duster on his back, rugged boots and a Yankees cap.
Holding a Fixation Bowie in his left hand, strapped with an AR-15 hanging off his right shoulder slightly touching his hip; he exhales a cold breath of determination and passion...
Intrigue races through his blood allowing him the power to feel; It lingers on, it shows in his face. ...

All the Politicians of the republican persuasion
who defended Trump by being silent?
And they waited to the last moment just in case he was able
to overturn the election.
When all was lost, and Trump was finished
washed up and had his innards removed, did they turn and said he was a crook.
These cowardly enablers.
We cannot give them a free pass, and they are as guilty as Trump
by holding on to power as long as they could.
And the businessmen/women he had made rich, what will they say
they were in it for the...

Meeting friends
I am not a nice person I have little time
for meaningless natters and tend to be grumpy
and often I can be rude, and I'm not too fond of pomposity.
I am unfailingly friendly with people who have fallen
on a hard time, there is a musician who came to Portugal he had
A job playing the guitar at a restaurant than the pandemic struck
and musicians were the first to go.
He prefers to eat outside well aware people think he is a tramp.
He has like me have travelled much, and we have a lot to talk about
I would not dream of...

The flame of the skies (A Wheel of time tribute)
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane she rides...
We're gathered here to make our last stand
We're gathered here to bring the end
The end of an age
The threads are woven
One final command
And the story is told
Lights flashing, ground burning, the fight has begun
Of fires from the skies dies the shadow spawn
The power descends, and when the battle ends
The light stands alone
In their hearts burns the flame
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane
Rides the hope of the light
Rides Tar Valon's flame
...

The Earing of Gold That We're Hearing
eXcuse me, dear people, but on tonight's
show I will make use of the world reknowned
ventriloquist, who goes by the name Scarface
in tribute to the late, great, Al Capone.
I have engaged his services as I am so
"choked up" at the loss of a child, and the
ignominious state of motherEarth, (as defiled by
loutish, anal-brained humans, who thrive on contriving
their own squalid adversity ).
The content of the show is in the able hands
(or mouth) of mr. Scarface. Although my lips may be
moving, I have no idea what words will...

Disney Knights
A generation spellbound by Disney knights
And animations crowned to protect the light
Told stories of medieval schemes, hooded witches and apple bites
Taught the divide between good and evil is black and white
As the fires stoked, they dream of conquering those frights
Blinded by the smoke, they ask where to aim their sights
Self-anointed heroes ordered to fire at spotlights
Their pointed arrows plant the seeds of their children’s fight

How Blacks Played a KEY ROLE In The Abolition of Slavery
usually think it was all whites, and no blacks
(except for Union soldiers), that brought an end to slavery.
Not so. Blacks played a central role.
They did it in the person of Dred Scott.
His lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Taney. totally ruled against Dred Scott having any rights whatsoever.
Taney struck down the 3 compromises that Congress had put together over the previous three decades.
Taney ruled that slaves are property, pure and simple.
And since property is legal everywhere,
owning slaves is legal...
