The End of an Era: A Letter to Benjamin Netanyahu

Benjamin Netanyahu,
you once stood as a symbol of Israel’s resolve,
but power gained through fear and manipulation
is a flame that burns its master first.

You rose through the ranks
on speeches of security and pride,
but history has already spoken—
the tears of Gaza will not be washed away by silence.
Every forty-five minutes, a child died,
and the world watched—
but the

Breaking Benjamin - Far Away

Just as the elements within our lives are inevitable to intercede
There are also uncontrolled forces that have to circle the world
Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, and greed
These 7 deadly sins are sold more than the blooded diamonds and pearls

With prayer and faith I stand next to my mother. 
And with undoubted submission I'd give

GOODBYE BENJAMIN

My friend Brenda’s dad walked on the other day…
he turned 100 years old in June…
Why is it even when someone lives a long and happy life…
they seem to die too soon?

He was a war veteran and a farmer 
who lived in the land where sheep and dairy cows grazed…
I never had the privilege of knowing

Turkey Alive

Well, I listened to Benjamin Zephaniah,
And I kept my young turkey alive.
We had a really good blast last Christmas,
With hip-hop and reggae and jive.

We opened our presents real early,
Taking selfies and having a laugh.
I bought Turkey some really cool trainers,
And he bought me some gloves and a scarf.

Then we ate a lovely fat dinner.
I cooked

Benjamin the Bear

In the whimsical woods where the wind whirls wild, 
Lived Benjamin the Bear, a creature quite mild. 
With a belly that bounced as he waddled through trees, 
He was a bundle of joy, blowing bubbles with ease.

His fur, a brown blanket, thick and lustrously lush, 
Rustled in rhythm as he'd saunter through the hush. 
With

Aphorism Plus: Quote by Benjamin Franklin

"Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead," ... quote by Benjamin Franklin

If the three are still left breathing would you fear what might be said, for when you hear the truth of this, all secrets be at risk, will opportune all freedoms aim to raise those penniless. 

To save your life,

Benjamin Franklin Puppet

A Benjamin Franklin puppet walked into our living room.
He wanted to use our computer, in particular, needed to zoom.
I said to my husband “what do you think?”
“I believe he is lost,” he said. This is not a skating rink.

Because Benjamin Franklin Puppet had put on some skates.
He was zipping and slipping around our hoes and

A Little Moon For Benjamin

A little moon for Benjamin
For Benjamin the moon
Which casts itself upon his face
Tonight when it is full 
In a magic transformation
That illuminates, in depth
A purer form of innocence
A finer state of grace
And wisdom’s inspiration
That poets can embrace

For here the gaze of wonder!
For here the look of awe!
For here the eyes enraptured
By what they see afar

And

Benjamin Blue

BENJAMIN BLUE

Benjamin Blue lost his shoe.
He called to his mother, “What should I do?”

His mother said, “Look under your bed”
But as he did, he bumped his head!

His father said, “Look under your chair”
But all he found was dust and hair.

His brother said “Look in your room, behind your door “
But dirty socks just covered his

Rest In Peace Benjamin Oko

He was my former student,
In whom I found not a dent.
On the day he took the leap
I’d seen a knotted crowd weep:
Way back 1998
While Service Allowance did wait...

Passers-by he’d shocked with stereo: 
A yelling one for “Cheerio,”
His reason ‘Quite Earth-Shaking:
“One could sleep off, no waking!”

He had me killed Ten times with smiles 
And did me

Benjamin Buffalo

Benjamin Buffalo came on my tele show
For he had written a book
The world’s oldest Buffalo with tales of long ago
Gave a retrospective look

I asked Benji Buffalo, here’s what I’d like to know
Did you know Buffalo Bill
He said let the record show that I’m a Buffalo
Listen to this if you will

Bill was a nice ’en but

Celebration Benjamin

I'm busy with my children
                               And sweet grandchildren too
                

Not In the Bible, Though -

God helps those who help themselves
Hidden here a kernel of truth: "no free lunch!"
But if I seek a shelter in real or fancied homelessness
"A stitch in time saves nine," - not my bikini (thanx a bunch)

An Ode To Benjamin Franklin

I wished to improve on my character so,
I looked for a model to go by.
I studied the habits of men great and tall,
For one who seemed perfect in my eyes.

Men of fine profile and manly physique,
Were the first ones to cross my inspection.
First also dismissed for their physical charms,
Seemed all they had worth admiration;
