Best Across The Nation Poems

We hear your voice across this nation
We send our love and admiration
Now standing in awe of what you do
We dedicate this day to you.

On nine eleven our world was torn
Only to rise, our strength reborn
An end to terror our only choice
And you became freedom's voice

Our...

When I hear the sound of "Taps" on Memorial Day,
Or hear that plaintive tune when a veteran is laid away,
I try to remain stoical but am easily moved to tears,
As I recall the sacrifices of heroes throughout the years.

Valiant men suffered hardships at their posts...

The word of discovery of gold in '49 in Californy raced across the nation!
Why, it was said you could fill a bushel basket full with little botheration!
This appealed to a young feller in Boston town named Clancy Wiggins,
Who forthwith trailed the sun west to help...

Give me wings so I can fly;
I want to soar with winging birds up high.

Give me wings so I’ll be free;
my soul longs, to soar with my body.

Give me wings and I will soar,
through universes where, I’ve not been before.

Give me wings to share the...

Sam dated Sandy, things were fine and dandy
Born into middle class means, they were killing that high school scene
One afternoon in Sandy’s bedroom their play went all the way
And the Angels wept that day

Sandy felt that they would marry, though Sam soon had his eye...

Its carnival season again in Trinidad
The whole country in a party mood
With steel pan, soca and calypso
Beautiful women and all kind of food

It has a big show in Skinners Park
Tonight in san Fernando
And we boys from 2nd street
We all getting ready to go

When we reach...

Just like Dr. KIng I too have a dream
I have a dream that one day children of all ages and colors will receive a better 
education
Where they will one day have a better life after graduation
These students will hold their heads up high whether they...

Morals, Morality and Ethical Direction…

We often hear of morals, morality and ethical direction.
What they mean, I suppose, is “one’s discretion.”

Very seldom, is anything from the Bible being heard.
Why obey God’s commandments?  Why, that’s absurd!

Many claim, that as adults, just about anything is “o.k.”
As long...

The hour of darkness covers many men.
They enter foreign soil illegally.
En mass invasion time and time again.
The problem is arithmetically 
impossible to stop. Deportation 
is just an empty word that represents 
a losing battle across the nation. 
Until we take a tougher stance, miscreants 
below...

Bad news,
For all of you,
It's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or failure?
A new culture of racism,
Paranoia driving  a schism,
In our lucky country we stand 
for equality, a concept grand...
Today, let's have no discrimination,
A day of Peace, across our nation,
Yes, it's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or...

A New Football Season


Fall football season has finally come upon us,
It’s time for wives across the nation to raise a fuss.
This usually happens once each year,
From the beginning of the season, ‘til the last cheer.

No one knows what makes them hate this game,
Maybe it’s the...

5,7,5----5,7,5,7,7----5,7,5
For Linda Marie's Haiku--Tanka--Haiku contest....

Love for poetry,
savvy. This identity
loves controversy

Football and women,
conversation, love-making.
R & B, Reggae,

Four Tops, The Temptations

Taking vacations,
road trips across this nation..
Next stop, the ocean!!!

What Does Marriage Mean to YOU?

What all hear various definitions
 of what marriage means.
Not realizing the consequences
 this often brings!

There’s often a lack of commitment and faithfulness.
Many still looking for a true source of happiness!

This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife.
Needs...

On a headstone in the ground, 
a life's summation can be found:
born and died and little more
marks the end with an underscore.

Before I die I'd like to say
all that happened along the way.
There's a story to be sure.
Let's begin life's overture.

My life began in celebration;
The...

Young Peter is far from perfect
Teen anger he fails to deflect
His trail of destruction
Has caused such a ruction
You should see the items he’s wrecked

His parents do little to stop him
They’re addicts, and too busy popp’in
Heroin and pills
Which don’t cure their ills
The outlook for Peter is...
