451st Civil Affairs Battalion
Permission for draft of requisition order
Civil war family heir
Destroyer class reconstructionism
Turn liberty up a notch for the western fleet
Fussy bonnet held us high
A destroyer class vessel is surplus
Afforded the documentation of drafting
Her pardon
Is not a priority
Abandon requires address
The 451 st Civil Affairs Battalion
The adjustment of languaging a building.
I come from this to you,

Affairs of State
Once again, for a second time in recent history, we're
Living through a master class of deception and fraud.
Where the powerful usurp their greed and influence,
While underneath an umbrella of a distant God.
We're all witness to a false narrative by distraction,
While the MAGAngsters spread

God, Please Intervene The Affairs Of My Country, Philippines
Slavery is all over the world
The Filipinos are victims of slavery
We have been slaves by Spaniards
We have been slaves by Japanese
We have been slaves by Americans
Our government are fighting slavery
Poor people, we only have government
What if government is the one oppressing
What happen now, the left leaning
The yellow hardliners, the red loyalist
The Lower House,

A Haunting Waltz
A Haunting Waltz
As I recline, wearied, on this eve so dark and dreary,
Whispers in the shadows, tales of Victorian eerie.
The moon, a spectral lantern, spills its ghastly glow on cobblestone streets,
Where specters of yore, in corsets and top hats, discreetly meet.
Beneath flickering gas lamps, secrets deftly concealed,
In murky alleys, truths unfold, a clandestine reveal.
Gloom, thick

When America in Sad State of Affairs
America is
in a sad state of affairs
where will crimes be nest

no telling where it may end

be careful when you
throw out your trash can by can
something may be lost
we know what happened
world went to hell in basket
never seen again
have to start over

Minding Other Peoples’ Affairs or Businesses
Minding other peoples’ affairs or businesses
Some villainous pundits or vile hyenas are the best
In simply doing just that, comrades. They ignore
Their own problems. They leave a huge door
Ajar, wide open, so they can put their flagitious nose
In their neighbors’ personal businesses or affairs
Please, always have the fireman’s water hose
Ready, in check and in full force

Seedy Affairs
I
am
a seed
in the ground
waiting for the sun
to warm me and to wake me up
I feel gentle taps of pluie soaking through the soil
nourishing me
I start to

I

State of Affairs
Oh, life was good, the days were sunny
Every taunt, every insult seemed funny,
I loved all my foes and friends to a fault
and ate my dessert with a pinch of salt.
With a dash of vinegar, some sour cream
I turned nightmare into the sweet dream,
Aches, pains, cramps and shivering cold
For pennies my profound thoughts I sold.
I buried

Settling Contentious Affairs
Guns,
and ballistic threats
don't settle anything
They can't,
more quickly
kill.
Mindfulness,
and compassion therapies,
might restore peace
We could
most inclusively
embrace.
Could our court
and prison
and police
and legislative systems
become more mindful,
less judgmental,
by restoring win/win hopeful health?
Rather than punishing
shadowed neurodiversity
and cognitive limitations
and post traumatic stress disorders
and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders
and poverty
and lack of affordable self-medication choices,
Retribution
revenge
assuming perpetrators had real-world powers
to choose
and chose badly
madly
sadly.
Court fines
and forced confinement
in

The showers. Twenty minutes
Later they woke everybody else
Including the adults. The Hakim
Children were feverishly
Excited about there new school.
Anticipating all of the differences
They would encounter.

Breakfast table, "are

Knockout!
Drop the bowling ball on Putin’s head
See how the multi coloured ball
Adds another colour to its rainbow hue
Now bloody red with a bit of brains yellow
Not that Putin ever had a brain to use
His disastrous Putin War in Ukraine
Bled his pretty military dead and white
If only he’d attacked Japan as planned
Tokyo would be his with
