A Fallen Soldier
A Fallen Soldier
Whenever a soldier falls
Where ever,
On whatever land
For his country
Or whichever motherland
There,
Some mother's heart bleeds
A lady's life shatters
Some kids become orphans
A father loses his last hope
Some lose their brother
Few lose, their,
Brave and Dear Friend.
Whenever a soldier falls,
Country loses,
A real hero of a mother land.
He was a trained soldier
Stood tall on the country's guard
To protect his country,
and his country's pride.
He doesn't hate...
Whenever a soldier falls

Russian Hack of USA Gov't Agencies: WHAT DOES IT MEAN??!!
The discovery on Thursday (Dec.17,'20) that RUSSIA has hacked many of our Federal agencies is HUGE !!
Its a solid SIGN from God as to the time of RUSSIAN ATTACK upon the USA !!
I mean it points to the immediate future - some time within 2021 !!
I'm assuming that the Kremlin's goal was to tamper with our ability to launch our RETALIATORY nuclear arsenal (after a Russian "first strike").
If Russia hits us (our big cities), but we don't get to hit back (because our computers are sabotaged by this Russian hack of our gov't),
that means Russia does the "impossible" -...

earthen warrior
the valkyries are coming
shield maidens of the dawn step forth
prayers on the winds resound
the earth herself is at war
hear ye children of the file
thunder announces the horde
broken, brittle bones chatter
the restless spirits rise
gathering in formation they stand
look mystery in the eyes
defy logic and attack
sinister threats incense my soul
I will go down with my sword
shield maidens of the dawn step forth
prayers on the winds resound
the earth herself is at war
hear ye children of the file
thunder announces the horde
broken, brittle bones chatter
the restless spirits rise
gathering in formation they stand
look mystery in the eyes
defy logic and attack
sinister threats incense my soul
I will go down with my sword

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: the SECRET Meaning
(Nov.19 is the anniversary of Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address on Nov.19, 1863.)
Let me sum up the Gettysburg Address: the Union armies had to win the Civil War, or else democracy ("government of..by.. and for the people") might "perish from the earth."
Lincoln had to be thinking of interracial democracy "perishing from the earth,"
because whites-only democracy was well established in both the north and the south,
and was in no danger whatsoever of "perishing" regardless of which side won the war.
If this is true (that a future interracial democracy...

Lieutenant Ginger and her Privates
She squirts in my face
saluting me with citrussy
starbursts of tangerine
---a lemonade affair
with solar flaired hair---
her lime-grenade smile
exploding its sublime
shrapnel
Color me at ease
yet blown away
by her autumn'atics
saluting me with citrussy
starbursts of tangerine
---a lemonade affair
with solar flaired hair---
her lime-grenade smile
exploding its sublime
shrapnel
Color me at ease
yet blown away

War Machine
Pilots can you read me?” then I hear the click.
“There’s no more doubt.
We are headed out.
Don’t let your life end quick.”
As I turn on all my engines,
and I see how they are set.
There is tension, fear, and quiet
but never real regret.
As the hangar bay creaks open,
empty space fills up my screen.
I can see the motion and the sway
of our massive war machine.
We know it takes us through the stars.
It carries us so safely
I carry with me my memoirs.
As our shell rocks so sedately.
Flashing spinning...

Our Boys
The double-pump
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs

Murderer
Woah, woah, woah, we’re in the army…Apocalypse now.
Gather your guns; we’re going on the hunt.
Gonna kill anybody just for the fun.
Fighting for peace is an oxymoron.
Another disease inflicted on civilians.
A soldier can never be seen as solid.
They sway too much from the normality to id.
They use their guns; they use their guns.
Life as a civilian is soon undone.
War for the masses broadcasting live!
Death by the millions, so I’m dead inside,
To all the ‘Heroes’ who fought in the war.
Heroes kill heroes...

How Blacks Played a KEY ROLE In The Abolition of Slavery
We 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...

Tate, the sniper
..
An interval without history
A territory of the Internet
She uses the codename *Tate*
The sunset is dying
I stop time ...
Before the night comes
Her lips tell me...
"Kiss Me, young man...
... and I'll kiss you with one eye..."
Then she adds,,,
"I take it and dance with it
Protect me when hostilities break out.
I am a sniper ..."
... ...
