all for you all for me
acrimonious antipathy
taking place at the front door
taking place where eagles soar
taking place'bout any place
right thru the guts of a human race
ne'er saw it comin, no matter if we had,
Mamma ne'er tol'us it'd be so gddamn bad.
There he were as There he would be
Struttin on'top [of] that Sea'o Galilea.
there he goes, little splishsplash bath,
takes a lot to raise any kind of wrath.

A Day Out in London Town
Cor blimey it's London! ~ a wet winter's day,
The stream in the gutter swills fancies away.
The 'eavans 'ave opened, the wind 'n' the rain,
All of your credence is washed down the drain.
A walk by the river that rolls along still;
You turn up your collar to turn out the chill.
Old Father Thames is right showin' 'is age
Beside slushy pavin' along the Bird Cage.
The electric of neon, flashin' aglow,
Lights up the shadows and lights up Soho.
A sidestep down Dean Street where philosophers roam
Passin' the lodgin'...
The stream in the gutter swills fancies away.
The 'eavans 'ave opened, the wind 'n' the rain,
All of your credence is washed down the drain.
A walk by the river that rolls along still;
You turn up your collar to turn out the chill.
Old Father Thames is right showin' 'is age
Beside slushy pavin' along the Bird Cage.
The electric of neon, flashin' aglow,
Lights up the shadows and lights up Soho.
A sidestep down Dean Street where philosophers roam
Passin' the lodgin'...

Shields Up
What is it that is wrong with this human animal and the way we think
There is definitely something wrong with the flesh and the way we think
There is no other animal on this planet that treats his own like we do
Dogs looking at dogs don't care about origins or fucking hue
We swim in this shit, lapping it up to the point churches spew it
Though hatred we ignore that we are one and act as it we never knew it
Regardless of your belief of who was first, you can see that we're the same animal
What other animal on earth has this much hatred for...

...to Look for America
A soft hallelujah escapes my lips
While I feel a nostalgia in my heart…
Perhaps it was those parades I marched all those years ago,
As we played our drums to Washington Post and other Sousa compositions,
While crowds of people applauded and waived,
A pretty girl waited for a soldier with open arms,
A mother cried for a son who didn’t come back,
A father who came home in a wheelchair to his walking toddler,
All those little flags and sparklers celebrating…
It’s difficult to find common ground in these Divided States of mind, ...

Destructive Creation
We moved about in the dark, never agitated, we were one
But some positives were found to be radical negatives and the war begun
Our war was so fierce that the frictioning explosion created life
Something out of nothing, peace trying to agree with strife
But this new negative energy feed off of all that was created
It was hard for positive energy to convince life that it had made it
But I watched as a solid rock slowly heated up
I watched as steam was released as the rock broke up
Large sections sank into the waters now being released...

I rant here first before deciding what to post on social media
I do not want to go back to the normal
before the pandemic-
that was the machine against we should have raged
and that maybe can be changed,
finally,
by local action,
self-reliance,
and service to community.
We can allow unlimited capitalist opportunities
within a framework that socializes
healthcare;
education;
legal defense and treatment;
military defense from foreign enemies;
a 3 branch system of government by popular vote;
minimal housing and minimum, livable or better, wages;
utilities and other...

Promises Promises
Last Tonight Mr. President Sir you made us Promises Promises
Why should we believe all of your Promises?
I can't get out of my head
the 20K lies that you said
You want a 2nd term
but what about the 220K you let die from the Covid-19 germ
You say the next time
everything will be fine
But how do we know that the second time around
you don't be an even bigger clown
Because for almost 4 years I laughed like a kid
at all the silly things that you did
You made us Promises Promises
why should we believe all of your Promises
Why...

Irritability
Freedom is nothing but departure- setting forth - leaving things behind, brave origination of the courage to be new." - Robert Frost
Irritability constantly seeps
into my emotions,
Sometimes I don't see it
invade the thoughts of
bunnies and harshness.
Transforms into several forms
Reflecting horrible memory after horrible memory.
This irritability refuses to be silenced.
It disturbs my nights and days.
It feels like there is no excuse;
even when I attempt to ease it with self care and meditation.

THE DYING LION
Once a king on green and white In the jungle's West
When once you roar the Jackals quake as far as East
Who would dare when you sleep to cross your den?
The world eagle of the west would beg now and then
At age seven the hyenas rose to tear the den into two
Almost all you killed them off, assuming: that will do
To western coast with your pride, wolves were tamed
Over the world your cubs excel, you can't be shamed
But now your roar goes no farther than your den
With much blood, e'en of your cubs, you've got a wen
Much festering...
