Memorial Day, 2023
Many soldiers have died for the USA.
We're paying tribute to those people today.
When those soldiers died, it brought about plenty of sorrow.
They fought and died so that America could have a tomorrow.
Those soldiers fought bravely until their lives came to an end.
They weren't just soldiers and heroes, they were also friends.

In Wait
Dark have been my dreams of late
My heart aroused, within a panicked state
From dusk to dawn I gaze upon the morrow
Again I seek the auburn sky, so I lay in wait
No resting eyes, at any rate
I'm closing in on my fortune fate
I need to muster faith, and courage borrow
The end is nigh, and I....approach destiny's gate
My heart aroused, within a panicked state
From dusk to dawn I gaze upon the morrow
Again I seek the auburn sky, so I lay in wait
No resting eyes, at any rate
I'm closing in on my fortune fate
I need to muster faith, and courage borrow
The end is nigh, and I....approach destiny's gate

oil Jackpot in Norway
Oil jackpot
When coming home from the ship, his coastal town
was in an uproar from every window, people shouted
and banged pot pans together
People danced in the street, which was unheard of
young people shamelessly made love under oaks
so eagerly that trees that had been around forever
lost their leaves.
At home, his mother hollered, from the window
we are richer than the Americans, wealthier then
the Saudis.
His father said, no point going back to see if we can
Pakistanis and the Philippines for this.

Army Of Empties
Grasping at air, hungry for more
locked behind eyes, a forever closed door.
We are the many, gone are the few
who ever among us sanity knew.
Every nuance of human spark
now flickers to fade here in the dark.
Are we the same robotic selves
whose voices resound in similar pall.
Whom was I, can't I ever know
first I was here yet ever slow
guarding the thing I held to strong
now it trails behind our throng.
Each step we make a stumble forth
our inner compass unregisters north.
Hope gets...

The Real War With The Sleeping Giant
I know there is a war between Russia since the invasion of Ukraine’s territory, however, America needs to pay more close attention to the sleeping Dragon, which is China.
Can you imagine the commence we share with that country and how much in our GNP befalls the financial stock that China holds in America and in surrounding other continents, from raping the natural mineral resources from continents in Africa such divisions as Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique.

For whatever reason
May be political gain
Or for power in the region
But finally, the war has broken ll 1 ll
Few soldiers will die on field
Few mother's heart will bleed
Few lady's life will get shattered
Some kids will get orphaned

Dedicated In Sorrow To The Citizens Of Ukraine
I have seen this war festering many moons ago. Ukraine had been part of the Russian empire and was also part of the Soviet Union.
But in 1991 it became independent after the collapse of the USSR and there have been tensions between Russia and Ukraine ever since

Vampires
We hear the gunfire off in the distance
We find ourself picking up pace in that direction
No more than filth covered skeletons trekking through the jungle
War harden with dead men eyes looking for the next skirmish
We know our positions and the way that we each move
The natural predators here give us a wide girth
For they have all agreed this is man's war
They have agreed to come together as one and clean up the battlefields
But for now and from afar they watch as we kill
They don't understand it, because we are defying the...

A Breeze In The Wind
Deep into another nightmare.
The skies alive with flare.
Alone on the wall I stand.
The banner is in my hand.
Are you ready for the siege tonight?
We’re walking to victory.
Hey you men, come into the light.
We’re making history.
We are the breeze in the wind.
A zephyr whisper before we begin.
At the head of a thousand, I enter in.
Strong as the wind.
Caught up in another run.
Standing tall, the war is won.
I see your face before me now.
There is one thing I can’t allow.
Are you ready for...
The skies alive with flare.
Alone on the wall I stand.
The banner is in my hand.
Are you ready for the siege tonight?
We’re walking to victory.

We are the breeze in the wind.

At the head of a thousand, I enter in.

Germany
Germany
A love note from the states
Express mail to Germany
Where a soldier in the arms of romance
On a mattress of tears
Reads the plea of his belle
Before a breakfast of silence
When she needs his voice
To breathe their marriage
Back into their personal ad
That brought them together
On newsprint alley
Followed by coffee sighs
But he is stationed on the ruins
Of a front not so cold
As the bed, she sleeps on
Made warm by the prospect
Of a Stuttgart morning
Where an army wife can teach

The Last Hussar
A young man leads the charge.
On patrol north of Orleans.
Receives the Iron Cross.
This is just the beginning.
He rides into the fray.
Holding on to his faith.
In times of desperation.
He will always find a way.
The Last Hussar.
A title that will hold out through the war.
Commoner but he’s a rising star.
His leadership will take the nation far.
August von Mackensen, The Last Hussar.
Rider for life, he earned the name.
Changed the rules and played the game.
In death’s head uniform he came.
