FACING LIFE'S CHALLENGES
SIRENS
Our birth certificates
did not come with the
guarantee that life would
be easy or we'd have smooth sailing.
If it did, in face of reality,
it would be a lie,
Life from the day of birth
to the day of death is filled
with challenges, difficulties,
and setbacks of every description.
There are surprises, unknown,
and lingering questions of WHY?
As they step into our pathway
or seek to keep us awake at night,
we can CHOOSE TO:
Curse them,
Deny them,
Run from them,
Transfer them,
or...

TRANSFORMING A FOE
POSSIBILITY
We all have had them
or will have them, they
are as inevitable as night
follows day and conversely.
ENEMIES!
The age-old question for
some, not everyone, is HOW
do you transform your FOE
into a FRIEND?
Will money achieve it?
Will fame and position
bond a friendship?
Will flattery do it, even
when each soul knows
his or her flaws?
Will empty words and
broken promises heal a breach?
Will giving an expensive
and rare gift do it?
Maybe those and other
gimmicks and gadgets ...

a swan and a duck
A swan and ducks
In the garden of a hotel, we could afford
a black, beautiful swan in a fenced-in lake
to protect from entering.
It was a murderous bird; it dragged dogs
underwater and drowned them.
It was noticed the swan liked to kill dogs
with German names, swans do not speak
so, whether it was contra or pro political
was for humans to find out.
The swan go more and more aggressive
and no one thought of the obvious reason
it needed a mate.
When the penny dropped, the swan had
been sent to a zoo, found a mate...

Bolivia
Bolivia
in Bolivia, the socialist won
the election, after the American inspired coup
against Evo Morales who had to flee his country
now he can come home again.
The world is turning to socialism to equality
before the conservative dictatorship like the one
the USA suffers under.
In our pandemic times, people see that salvation
is under a coequal society.
Whoever takes charge in the USA it will take longer
the people have been so long under the “freedom whip.”
it will take time for them to see that capitalism is for the few...

Devils We Know
The devils we know
that are running
For president will they
do a good job who the
hell knows, will we be
fighting the system
to survive I hope not
because I want to vote
this year because I
don't want to be dragged by
a female poet to vote
Funny I was thinking
about not voting
and she said that she
would drag my body
to vote, thanks for
getting my head straight

Landslide
Under Trump hate is bringing our country down
after climbing Obama's hope mountain, we have been forced to turn around
Spirit in the sky is there still enough love
it the hearts of millions that we may rise above
These past 3 yrs. of this Trump tragedy and all of its ills
to once again see your reflection on the snow-covered hills
oh yes, the landslide will bring him down
oh yeah, the landslide will bring him down
after climbing Obama's hope mountain, we have been forced to turn around
Spirit in the sky is there still enough love
it the hearts of millions that we may rise above
These past 3 yrs. of this Trump tragedy and all of its ills
to once again see your reflection on the snow-covered hills
oh yes, the landslide will bring him down
oh yeah, the landslide will bring him down

Slave
Wake up!
Put your costume on
It's that time again
Your destiny awaits
Rising sun disappears
As you walk through the door
Take your place
With all the chosen ones
Hold on
The race is about to begin
Run from here to there
And back again
This hurried pace
Doesn't seem to end
It goes on and on
Without an end
Stop
Your body aches
Head is dull and empty
Fall asleep
Dive into your dreams
Free again
Limitless
Anything goes
Lay in the cool...
Put your costume on
It's that time again
Your destiny awaits
Rising sun disappears
As you walk through the door
Take your place
With all the chosen ones
Hold on
The race is about to begin
Run from here to there
And back again
This hurried pace
Doesn't seem to end
It goes on and on
Without an end
Stop
Your body aches
Head is dull and empty
Fall asleep
Dive into your dreams
Free again
Limitless
Anything goes
Lay in the cool...

Times past
so i find that the winds abate
and i sit here with this clean slate,
the moments shared
dancing the dance
in rigid and in form,
of courtly love, the verse
so not do we rehearse.
My days grow short, the ending of its light
which brings to me, a desire for more insight
knowledge is such that I seek
elevating me from the meek
searching the truth of my soul
hence, will carefully and neatly unfold.
the night,
by the waxing of our moon
i imagine a candle’s light
your alabaster, the fairness to a snow’s...

the lying papers
The lying newspapers
To vote in Britain is a strange affair
since it is class-based, every class only read
what is of their interest,
doing the best to denigrate the enemies party leaders
but since the owners of newspapers are usually
right-wing the conservative party often wins.
There is an exception the Guardian can at time
the sound left-wing, but then they get cold feet and join
the shrieking of the right.
The popular press also called the gutter press destroy
peoples reputation, say “Corburn” an excellent politician ...

Here and Now
I keep thinking
What if I turned 33 and lived my life with no urgency
When you're dying that's an emergency, which is why it occurred to me
To not live at all is as critical
Doing minimal, how pitiful
How foolish of me to criticise, the miracle
We live in times of the spiritual
Meditation over contemplation
Education over confrontation
Elevation over constant hating
No more constipation, no more full of shit
No procrastination
Only prose, don't go back to basics
Only hoes wear plastic faces, no fake shit
No...

Rumble Mumble Bumble Crumble
Did I Speak Peak In Some Electric Poetic Dialectic ?
Were My Words Heard As Somewhat Prophetic ?
I Did Not Mean To Be Seen As Creating The Hectic
Flushing The Rush In With Words Quite The Septic
Some Vote Me In As A Corrected Imagined Elected
A Residential Presidential Mind Not So Low Infected
I May Not Know Who You Do But I Am Truly Connected !
Were My Words Heard As Somewhat Prophetic ?
I Did Not Mean To Be Seen As Creating The Hectic
Flushing The Rush In With Words Quite The Septic
Some Vote Me In As A Corrected Imagined Elected
A Residential Presidential Mind Not So Low Infected
