Right or wrong it won't take long
to see whose side you're on
as for me I'm on my mine
although I know
no one's in my corner
and that's fine
body and soul will survive
in control I'll get by
stay whole get out alive
for when the fan is hit
then down are all the chips
but never lost at sea
or in the bewilderness
unlike passing ships
tried and true it's no or yes
will they won't they
as whichever way
the breeze may blow
in sunshine rain and snow
or apparently prevails
born with a built-in BS-detector
I'm my own whether vane
known to keep wind in my sails
Apparently, I had annoyed her
I wanted to pretend I did not know how
Wishing I had kept my concerns to myself
I had been lamenting her choices all afternoon
With cousins and relatives, I barely trust
Now I remember why I do not attend reunions
Her eyes gave me a look that could burn rubber
Was it too late to grovel?
I began to try
Sirius station 524
serious respiratory
serious resposity
abundant challenge philosophy
profit prophecy men expounding--
on their selfish Glory
not retaining council
praises to themself instead of God's glory
I shall not judge who am I to judge.losess
I am seeking as you are as well
God's perfect love
Trust Insurance
I have found in His peace
And endurance philosophy is flawed
I awaiting the calling the property process
they got me the greater Love
Apparently Agape

written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2024
You drain out of my mind
regrets flutter, die
are rebirthed as your face.
Love annulled
came to visit me last night.
Now I have to redraw myself.

i will never
say i was ever
beaten growing
up but treated as
in a way as
an equal but
with caution
so to say that
if i were so to
say say something
obscene or inappropriate
then a slap was a given but
this i understood
but i have to say that
there was never verbal
abuse but a talking to as
to do you
know what
you just said
or even implied
so that i was
an open audio
book to be took
or taken for what
i said especially
after being able to
read books such as
1984 when it was only
1970
Apparently a person is unique
Unique differ's from how a certain person
may carry themself
Themself may be referred to as themselves plurally
Plurally stated could in reference be singular
Singular may be over stated as well if a person has
a mental capacity they can't avail
Help is apparently unique for a person to do or
to ask for
For were all human and to help or ask for help is
only humane as for us evolving within our
revolving world
World apparently is a statement

I should clarify that it’s not all the time
But the only way I know how to express is in rhyme
I’m not always bleak, not always blue
Just when the sunshine doesn’t filter through
“Hormonal imbalance,” they say, “you’ll be okay”
And, “Oh, are you having an... off... day?”
I should clarify that it’s tricky to tell
Sometimes I get angry, I cry, or I yell
And I don’t even realize that something’s not right
I hardly know that I’m losing the fight
And pretty soon tears begin to flow down
(I’m definitely the biggest mess around town)
Also, I should clarify that it’s not every day
Because some days we manage to keep clouds away.
I’m not always sad, you know this is true,
Ask yourself... don't I act happy when I'm with you?
They say Rudolph is left out but it's not how it appears,
Rudolph has been at the front of that sleigh for years,
a blatent cold unwell and ill but they don't care,
so I have to ask, does that Santa Claus treat his staff fair?
Had Been Apparently Abrupt
Comments made were apparently abrupt,
And eventually things would soon erupt;
Break into,
Like they do;
When done by Trump had become corrupt.

So what should I be telling the new priest
about his parish?
Nuclear bombs are stacked
To use when an enemy needs to be whacked
With one leader having eight hundred bombs ready
And another matching them so very handy
Scientists move their clock
Closer to the midnight slot
For mutual deterrence is the story
Locked with complacency with no glory.

Prince William was so sick of being told
He’s receding and is now going bald
So he called in the royal hairdresser
To see if he could ease the heir pressure
He gave him a brand new hairstyle
This ‘buzzcut’ would be so worthwhile
His hairdresser is very highbrow
But his fees have raised an eyebrow
William’s head looks like its been shaved
Oh how the press stories have raved
£180 pounds is what we’ve been told
It’s so costly to look like you’re bald!
The cost Prince William has now denied
It wouldn’t be the first time the press have lied!
One day William will be ‘heir apparent’
And cutting costs will be more transparent
When William’s crowned then we could sing
With altered words to God shave the king!
Based on a story in the press over the cost of Prince William’s news haircut

Apparently Provocative
Trump apparently is provocative
Does only take and never any give
Do things may be compelled
Like against them has rebelled
Who like that would want to live.

Regard what you dispel as cause
Relate to us what you claim to be yours
We’ll ask you to denounce culture-driven associations
Without lifting a claw.
Verily in the presence of restrictions,
Our words paint your walls
But worlds within worlds cannot hypostatize your resistance,
We’ll just show you who we are
And hybrid aloud
Announces your round
If you turn, time will tell what a human is as well
If you take the ride,
You’ll never again be able to shut your eyes
Because I am the night
I am what suffering pays for when ecstasy has taken the right
Our years together, you’ll tell, that without her
You might as well
Call it off
Call a cry
But I won’t ask you to fight
I won’t even ask you to stand
The armies of men with barrels of fire power in hand will take with reprimand
Slave deserts will encircle your towns
Flame will carry on through darkness
As seasons slumber over for the next arrival
Whose smile breaths aloud where the Pharaoh sleeps tonight
