Today my thoughts are on Master Sergeant Joe D.
my brother who was four years younger than me.
Growing up Brother Joe was always the battler,
he took no one’s “stuff” and was never a prattler.
At twenty one I entered and Brother Joe came soon,
to the Army’s ways Joe seemed to quickly attune.
He rose to Master Sergeant in his twenty-three years,
four tours in Nam kept family in prayer and tears.
He was highly decorated and many proclaimed a hero,
but when life all boiled down it amounted to zero.
He disappeared from family for thirty plus years,
all this time we searched, prayed, and shed tears.
For his country he did things he couldn’t forget,
then died lost from family, in a sea of regret.
Joe isn’t there but a headstone marks his spot,
to remind of his surviving the Viet Cong onslaught.
His life is a shadowbox that hangs on our wall,
I’m reminded of Joe each time I enter the hall.
So today, I pray that for life choices he did atone,
as for me, Joe will never become as a forgotten stone.

My eyes grow wet, and my heart is swollen as i follow the
Words Monica has just spoken.' She is going after that dirty
Dingo dan, genocidal doer of the culling plan.' A silent
Cheer fills me up.' My spiritsl now on fire 'cause our girl is tough'
An angry Aussie she will not be cowed.' A determined
Battler..Of who I'm proud; proud; proud.' She says that
Millions won't buy her off.' Yet there will be those (who doubt and scoff ) well i stand by her in poems and prayers.'
As she fights for all Aussies.' Man shes way out there.!!
Fighting for a country once the envy, of the western world..!
And it will be once more.! I SAY GET YOUR FLAGS UNFURLED!! You have just to stand.' Behind this slip of
A girl.' And rid yourself of the traitors.' Its time again for
Australia.. Now to stun this world.!!

Dear Julian, congratulations on you gaining your freedom
May you keep a level head in the turbulence that will attempt to
Sweep you away..Take time with your faithful wife and the
Children you were removed from..Bear with them for its
Not easy when they have a famous parent, kiss the ground
Of our country for me is one request i have.' The other is
Will you find time for 'the freedom movement at home?)
In particular Graham Hood and Jhonny Larter, also Nick Patterson and Riccardo Bosi..Who were all subject to tyranny as well as our whole country, there will be attempts
To steer you towards a globalist leaning.' Yet you are big
Enough and battler enough' I wish you Gods blessing until
We meet, Joe.!

______________________________________________________________
The bulbs hum with color in this off-white cube.
I move slowly, to catch the glimpse that's doob.
I wobble and drift through the sails of my mind.
Searching for peacefulness in this sleepless rind.
Outside forces can feel remote and far away.
I stalk a distant star within walls that can sway.
My body may be scarce but my mind may soar.
Uncover the cosmos of notions that we ignore.
Photonic pairs of notions dance in my head.
I sink to extreme depths where whim led.
Fade, disappear, oh weariness and despair!
Since I'd prefer to leave this insomniac affair.
I pursue my goals with faith as my guide.
With the dreamless embryonic night ride.
Sleep disorders may be outside my grasp.
I roam this frantic realm, lacking the clasp.
In the cracks of my ambiguity, ideas whirl.
With each raw hint, my commitment hurls.
I'm a phony hero, a fallow shambling traveler.
I'm still finding my own advice in this dark battler.

A thought to think
As u fight
To breath
No demons like
Reality
In which u seek
At your feet
Battler warriors
A priceless soldier
A worldly romancer
On earths tiny lil dancer .
A fight well fought
Captured moments
Well bought
So it seems
In my head
In a hole you sink
Yet not beneath
secrets well kept
In a hole thats
Black..
Yet black holes
Are not da only sin.
Clouded thoughts
Only too opt
A plan well plot
Is my next big sin
I give you my politest
Stunning grin
As i leave
This place called hell

THE BATTLER
Looking at life as a twisted road,
with unknown holes waiting to explode,
and driving with pride, is a lonely ride.
Stress attacks like swarms of burning bees,
nerves of fireballs between pinball trees,
and no money to buy,not even a tear to cry
A battler bleeds from desperate needs,
with spiritual scars, a soldier of hope,
and tattooed memories surviving to cope.
Time in front, visions of a future in fear,
followed by the past,
throwing knives from the rear.
Good battling bad, behind life's battle shield.
Life upon this road is an endless battle field.
Reality seems surrounded by empty senselessness.
The battlers blood flow is belief,
trickling through a skin of grief.
A hero,
with will to share and care,
stay brave, battler, stay brave,
You will find glory,
in this Battler's story.

For sparks ignited

armed with bravery
the brawny battler excites
my heart beats ever faster
and my eyes open
wider with expectation
his sword glistens in the sun
like his bronzed muscles
good shall overcome
in the arena today
