Best Backups Poems

I do not have to go far away
 but just look within canada     to see
there is starvation      poverty      and death

now, this will never be taught in schools    ...

Last night rolling over in my bed
with drooping eyes and racing mind
I boarded a train of random thoughts.
Only to find millions of flashes
that I couldn't get hold of.

Memories, conversations, moments,
my mind was flooded,
I couldn't remember a thing.

So I walked up to my window
and took a...

chinese food dripping sauce
spicy beef and noodles
steaming vegetable rice
eggrolls and plum dip
spareribs and garlic
delightful
food


oh so delicious-    most of us have all the food
we want      but wait    I do not have to go far...

Tried to trace this man, 
studied the case and had my plan, 
a soul is whispering from somewhere
asking for help, I said, back off !!!

But a call is a call
it searches my soul and being, 
then found myself doing it
i must say, back off to...

It all began with both parties arranged even and still
with nothing more challenging ahead of them than options
a thought was made that provoked the other to take precaution
one thing was for certain this was a game for the kill
with both sides equally opposed to the...

THE GAME REQUIRES DETERMINATION.
ALONG WITH LUCK AND SKILL.
YOU PROVE YOURSELF OVER TIME
THAT YOU CAN FULFILL THE BILL.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED 
TO PLAY THE GAME.
AND CLAIMED YOU HAD A
REASON.
YOU VOWED TO DO YOUR
VERY BEST.
THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE
SEASON.

YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN ON THE FIELD.
SELECTED TO LEAD THE TEAM.
COLLECTIVELY...

Part I.    
The organized church, whether Catholic or not, 
Probably kills more people's faith than Satan.
Its grand pomp and circumstance all 'tommy rot, '
And designed solely to up ‘the gate' brought in.

The first church of our Lord was mostly a home, 
Though...

All efforts tabled on Nigeria;
Experiencing a fortunate miscarriage, 
Feasting Aso rock- a pizzeria 
But never admit it is the cause of this age. 

Upon the solid manifesto, 
That touches all sectors:
Picturing California's Barstow, 
To cajole mandates of the electors. 

Finally, all promises are working... 
Nigerians...

TERMINATION

I never imagined that I’d be back at school
Retired from work, yet I’m no longer a kid
But all modern media has caught me out
That flicking and tapping makes me pout
For all the wrong reasons I’m off the grid
Some youths think a dumb phone is cool

I...

Hacked off 

Somebody hacked my poetry page
Shut down my account
I don’t feel anger don’t feel rage
I’ve backups all about
I just feel sorry for this act
And the comments that are gone
But Robert Broadbent will be back
And my poems will live on!...

(2/25/12)

I have put myself on a quest
To turn my life around and do my best
So many things that go on in life
And having to make a sacrifice.

There is nothing in life that comes easy you know
And you have to struggle and put on a show
The...

Etceteras!
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Hey, she's alive!
Yeah! She survived!
All day learning,
CD burning.
Etcetera!
Etcetera!
Etcetera!

Images fill 
80 GIG drive:
Art.  Trees.  Sun.  Mills.
But NO bee hives.
Etcetera!
Etcetera!
Etcetera!

Written words pack
The other one.
Creation facts
Poetic Fun.
Etcetera!
Etcetera!
Her patience won!

Today, she'll strive.
Poem updates.
Triplicates thrive.
New backups wait!
Etcetera!
Etcetera!
Etcetera!


This is a sequel...

Every song has a story under our big sun
Our song we sing forevermore from since a note begun

Let us roar from our core, powerful with might
Mighty might with delight for others to unite

Singing songs in sarongs to step a little dance
If people do not join...

Technology Complaints
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Loosing word files really rattles my brain.
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane.
I try and I try to put things in place.
Still, somehow, they get lost in cyberspace.

Computer crashes bring on mental pain.
It seems like progress will...

NO CRUSHING, LET'S IGNITE

The same way every year 
Shoes strips...
