I want so badly to live
Here on earth today
And it is the hottest day
Of the Summer today
It is 48
I can't take the heat
The heat
Is killing all of us
It is very bad for the people
Who have asthma
And heart problem
I am thinking about
Going on for a swim
On lake Ontario
That will cool me off
Also I am not crazy about swimming
I prefer to go for walks
On the boardwalk
First thing in the morning
Because there is nobody around
Also we haven't had any rain for a long
Time
Every day I hope it will rain
But it never does

Low Emission zone disinformation..Is a factor on sinage
Thats the situation.' First a magistrate in Bedford flagged
Not fine, these signs that have ruined life for many.' Also
Wasted so much time.' Yesterday Noel Wilcox, Royally won'
At the so named courts in London judgement on veracity I
See it had to come.' So now if you've been hit no matter
Where you are from.' You can obtain a refund, maybe to
Spend on having fun? Like driving to London.' Just to see
The sights.? Oh and I do hope we are soon rid of all that
That extra metal signage.' Thats really an unsightly blight !

I want so badly to live
Every single day
Here on the planet earth
Because God made the planet earth
For me
I just love to live
On the planet earth
Until the day I die
Here on the planet earth
Also I have some good friends
That also lives here on earth with me
Also Father you also made my
Friends in you image
And also my friends love to
Live on earth together with me

you do harm, to yourself or to someone else...!

In the past
People were sacked
For telling
Lies.
These days
People are sacked
For telling the
Truth.

Hold This Deeper Thought, Love Is What We All So Badly Need
Black shadows from a bad ailing sun, little to no hope
Stains that inch their way into a most badly bleeding heart
Why does the rope burn and the wanton spirit fail to cope
Are we blinded prisoners from birth, a condemned start.
Yes and no, none are so free as those that give not a damn
As they walk through their lives caring not for morality
Is the bold truth a Hollywood fable, a cursed slam
We swim poison rivers immune to their dark reality.
The local tavern fills up and its dead learn to slow dance
Saturday night they spout out vividly gigantic lies
With the screaming dreams, the hopes on a wayward chance
That the guilty earth splits, and time ends and everybody dies.
Hold this deeper thought, love is what we all so badly need.
And we were given birth, born as crop from Heavenly seed.
Robert J. Lindley, 3-26- 1972

She is about to disclose
What we reluctantly expose:
What in envelopes we enclose
And their display don’t suppose…
About to queerly propose
An idea other oppose:
What you wouldn’t on one impose,
Except it was what you wickedly chose
And could channels for complaints close:
A blonde asking that she nude pose
While funnily holding Thorny Rose
And a child bleed a foe’s toes
For the blood that evenly flows!
Who wouldn’t her tag ‘The Badly Uncaring
The weirdest of the thinkable baring?

An actor returns to his Beverly Hills mansion –
blows his brains out with a 38 special.
I must have dozed off,
cops at my door,
a line of chain-smoking flashbulbs
in baggy turn-ups.
I watch myself being taken away in a body bag.
The movie is badly spliced.
Black Packard’s keep morphing into flying saucers.
We are all wearing hats,
even the writers in the backroom
are wearing wide-brimmed hats.
The women are wearing hats.
They wear pencil thin skirts,
and talk out of the side of their mouths.
A screen flickers;
a skinny man behind an obscuring microphone
apologizes for the delay.
Meanwhile, space aliens have landed in Brooklyn,
and are exterminating people in hats.
It’s a radio show hoax,
but I don’t know that –
until I wake-up
into a world filled with terror and chaos,
there are no aliens and few brimmed hats.
I can’t sleep.

Tread lightly on my badly wounded soul
Lest it return in spectral manner borne,
Time will atone for the happiness you stole.
Ponder the ways you can make it whole
The one you purposely caused to mourn
Tread lightly on my badly wounded soul.
All deeds are written on memory’s scroll
Some like the rose; some like the thorn
Time will atone for the happiness you stole.
Do not consider your bullying a mere stroll
In your wilted gardens of sarcasm and scorn
Tread lightly on my badly wounded soul.
Your hurtful ways will surely take a toll
For eternal recompense has been sworn
Time will atone for the happiness you stole.
You will experience payback, like the troll,
Who thrives on bullying, I must forewarn,
Tread lightly on my badly wounded soul,
Time will atone for the happiness you stole.

fire we must stoke
until became badly broke
out from sand head poke
they elicited
what is to be conflicted
became afflicted
when we have been good
was God who would make us good
making me feel good
Jesus in crib laid
God wind and waves had obeyed
great world for me He made
had been notified
that her death was verified
the I cried and cried
God gave gift to girl
a pretty and perfect pearl
was out of this world
ingrained idiocy
actual validity
pure stupidity

From school and friends, kids have been barred
Leaving them anxious, emotionally scarred
These kids, the teachers have badly betrayed
Staying out of their classrooms, but still getting paid

Eating Badly with diabetes is a Suicide Mission.
I know, because Artur Anczarski, says so.
He is the Prophet, he is the Saint,
And nothing he says, is ever quaint
(it simply ain’t)
As for exercise and diet, ‘you don’t do either!’
(which is not – anymore – entirely true, but it WAS, once)
Explode my mind with FRAGILE DELICACY, why don’t you, brother?
(If he hadn’t, I never would have moved, he doesn’t sugarcoat the cake, he throws it out
And gives me meat, instead)
What is sweet in the mouth, is bitter in the belly (a big one).
Eating badly. Never worth it.
