Sacrosanct incongruities
This is a strange and doubtful time
even writing became a victim
we write what others want to see written
and the others don't want to read anything
they just want to know if we wrote what they want
and then they criticize it for being the same
that everyone writes and writes again
because they wanted it that way just because
so everyone keeps rewriting
what has already been written in true words
replaced by new words empty of intention
but completely politically correct...
If you don't like it, don't read it
if you don't want...

Oral History
Oral history of my tribe
stories told and tales passed down
told in hush tone whispered
oral history we hold dear
alphabets were unknown
history was told through tales
some in long intricate chants
most in narratives from the wise
the elders knew of the ancient lore
understood the taboos and law
through their parents and grandparents
and they from the generations before
we travelled from our troubled land
after the hills were no longer fertile
and the tribal wars began to escalate
through jungles...

Refinding Corfu
And when Somnus breathes little deaths upon the living,
when the night ripcurls with rain's unrest,
I will unweave the lessons of Summer
spent upon Demeter's dress,
I will take to walking streets in Kerkyra,
the boat out to blue caves at sea,
delight in dining by Foros,
recall and relearn how to breathe,
as I did in that bakery in old town,
as I began to find out how to speak,
when the hands only carried small drachma,
when plates were smashed in the street.
when the night ripcurls with rain's unrest,
I will unweave the lessons of Summer
spent upon Demeter's dress,
I will take to walking streets in Kerkyra,
the boat out to blue caves at sea,
delight in dining by Foros,
recall and relearn how to breathe,
as I did in that bakery in old town,
as I began to find out how to speak,
when the hands only carried small drachma,
when plates were smashed in the street.

Massacre On St. Valentines Day
Month's before the "Wall Street Crash"
There was a bloody fight
Between two rival gangs in Chicago
It was a cold and snowy day in 1929
A celebration day for many lovers
Killers, thugs and mobsters
Running wild all over the streets
Spreading death everywhere in the city
G-Men had their hands full
There was a trap on North Clark Street
Seven men waiting for a truck load that never came
As Moran's gang was ordered to line up against the wall
Two phony police officers opened fire with Thompson...
There was a bloody fight
Between two rival gangs in Chicago
It was a cold and snowy day in 1929
A celebration day for many lovers
Killers, thugs and mobsters
Running wild all over the streets
Spreading death everywhere in the city
G-Men had their hands full
There was a trap on North Clark Street
Seven men waiting for a truck load that never came
As Moran's gang was ordered to line up against the wall
Two phony police officers opened fire with Thompson...

The Rise, Fall & Rebirth of a Giant
Once imperative to growth
Now decaying
Dilapidated
The future home of condos and a shopping district
History succumbs to progress
The death of beauty
Now decaying
Dilapidated
The future home of condos and a shopping district
History succumbs to progress
The death of beauty
