There is a lot of history and a little of you
Living off the glory your ancestors lived through
You need to go out and live your life for you.
Patriotic pride from an historical stride,
a war that was won before you were alive
the struggles for freedom
the heroes who died
born into freedom
you didn’t decide
History owes nothing but the offer of

A Lot of Nerve
I prefer raw dates to most candidates
Robert to Bill Gates
Watching mine to lifting weights
fewer versus more states
Some call me a rock-ribbed conservative

VOICES
Wake up!
The voices in my head keep screaming
Open your eyes
The voices keeps echoing
Always waking me up
Whenever life hits me down
From the mountain top
Down to the depths of the valley.
Look up!
The voices keeps yelling like I'm in the well
You miss a lot of blessings, when looking down
Look up!!
So you can climb

Tanks-A-Lot
Hey everyone
A new job I got
From none other
Than Tanks-A-Lot
We build large tanks
Two everyday
And that is how
We earn our pay
Hey everyone
We’re going to ship
Thirty two tanks
At ten mill a clip
So let’s give it
Our very best shot
Courtesy of
Tanks-A-Lot
Hey everyone
Now we can play
Here come the tanks
From the USA
Let’s rush them out
To the front line
Those Tanks-A-Lot
Are sure looking fine

Actions Says A Lot
Do you think life as you know it/
Is all that exists/
Wow... you are blind to think that/
When God says no God before him/
Is God admitting there's other Gods/
This life has consequences/
We really are judged/
When we leave this life/
Whatever God you believe in/
You are judged by your actions/
You are judged by your heart/
Your actions says a

Missing You A Lot
A summer ago, a gift from you
A melancholy autumn, without you
A summer ago, there's no one but you
The summer looks like a game
Excitement bring fun to both of us
It's great but lasts a little
Spring come, I'm missing you
Looking your picture I have you
Hope you will come one day
And fill this emptiness away.

A LOT OF ERRORS
I hadn’t seen her for ages,
But I’d know her anywhere,
With that finely chiseled profile
And that mass of golden hair.
We’d had a rollercoaster romance.
I remembered the thrill of it all,
As I raised my hand in greeting,
Across the crowded hall.
“Sold to the man in the back row,”
I heard the auctioneer say.
“If you’d like to sign the contract,
That’s

That's A Lot Of Crap
Release the hounds
Call out the guard
Some simple fool
Crapped in my yard
Oh woe is me
Oh heavy sigh
Look at this poo
Piled a mile high
No words will help
No song be sung
Just tell me now
Who flung the dung

Losing a lot more
Time has gone slow and I've lost the way,
Neglecting myself even more every day,
My confidence shot,
I don't have much go,
I can't build up my energy,
And make my blood flow.
I've lost my belief,
On a future undone,
It's sad how it happened,
The loss of some one,
That some one was loved,
More

he wanders a lot
He wanders a lot
Calls it meandering
Different from a walk
Just a melancholy movement
Passing through the moments
Registering each sunbeam
Following its arc
Watching its dance
Laughing as it skips
Across the puddles
Teasing the hawk
With its shadows
He is not lonely
Nor is he alone
There are those
He takes with him
Telling their stories
To the dandelions
Sharing a joke
With the jonquils
Tossing snowballs
With the trees
He leaves a lightly

Doing a Lot Better Now
This is called a Beyond-Haiku, which means it is more syllables and one more line extra…
I’m doing better,
Despite being in Room 6, in Room 6
I’m a go-getter
Even though I don’t feel like taking pics
Better late than never…
Despite being in Room 7, in Room 7
I’m a God-believer
Even though I don’t feel like Heaven

Sir Frowns a Lot
Grumpy, griping all the time,
Out of work without a dime.
Seen around the town a lot.
They call him Sir Frowns A Lot.
Used to work for the city,
Paid off, laid off, what a pity.
Caused his wife to have a stroke,
Lost his house when he went broke.
Stands in line for unemployment,
Living life without enjoyment.
Sleeping in a cardboard box,
Worn

Why Love Means a Lot To You
"I heard some friends
talking about love and
being loved
This is my first time
to witness deep love
in my life ...
Feeling love all over me.
It is like the love of lions...really!
He always carrying me on
his back like a queen, "
She said loudly.
" When love is giving way
It is skimming on its
