oh youth in all its callow shades
               is from our hope, precisely made

A year ago, the Russian state launched an unprovoked attack
Seizing land from Ukraine but they've bravely fighting back 
If Russia can't have it, they operate a policy of scorched earth
And turn many towns and villages into mounds of rubble and dirt. 

Russia then weaponised their...

The invasion began on the twenty fourth of February
When in from Belarus came, the filth of humanity
The world soon got to know of their cruel depravities 
Each town they invaded, they were guilty of atrocities. 

Putin had hoped to announce victory, on the ninth of...

Here comes the rain as sun shines bright,
Streak rainbow plain in radiant light.


Feel thought now hurl a profound think,
Yet sense somehow a causal link.


Indulge your heart as mind plays games,
Begin and start what ego names.


Sure heart knows soul beyond mere thought,
A certain whole conscripts all...

WOULD YOU HAVE SHOT ME

    MY FRIEND, IF NOT FOR THAT WAR

    WOULD WE ENEMIES THEN HAVE BEEN

    I BLAME YOU NOT AT ALL MY FRIEND

    FOR IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME

Rifles rattle,
Armies battle
On the plain,
Getting glory,
Grief, or gory
Colored pain.

Conscripts giving
Up their living 
For a patriotic bed
That is bag-shaped,
Shrouded, flag-draped:
Blue, white, red....

A quivering shadow shrouding a clouded pane
Shared pain scribbled in the doleful rain
Hollow words that broker heartache and disdain
A sorrowful whistle emanating from a distant train
Poorly trained recruits struggling above the furor to remain
Stridently striving nation's honor to uphold; but only vitriol, 
criticism obtain 
Sacrificial fodder...

this soldier took those rounds so they could save

their fellow conscripts from their early grave

how ghastly tannic, tastes such horrid truth

though warm as blood, or tart as sweet vermouth


thus now they gather ‘round to ask for grace

dark masks of horror frozen on each face

such needless...

Oil or strife, is it worth all these lives
Festering carnage, thriving flies
Who's to say the region is fine
The old cliche, it will take some time

Lets scroll back to August 90
Iraq in Turmoil, to Saddams insanity
Economic sanctions to economy draining
Richness to want, from Kuwait's gaining

Over the...

A Ring a Ring of Uncertainty 
A pocket full of Poppies 
And love letter good luck charm's 
A Spitfire thrust full throttle 
War chariot for a single brave owner 
History classes will muse about
With only Bravado and comradeship to battle
The skies fall down
Like propeller blades...

We are all like-men
one leg at a time

yet some stand out
trouser-ed or not 

some become possessed

a holy mission accepted

subduing the personal ego
as did Christ, Son of God
First Risen

these are blessed children
of the Sacred Divine

Some saviors born.
Some developed by 
trial and error experience~
like an artist's film
or...

Heroes in Ukraine
    No heat, no power
  endure aerial bombardment
    More brutal by the day

  Hundreds of Russian conscripts
    thrown into battle every day
  Unprepared, they die like flies
    As...

FRET NOT
When you are rising,
they relish pulling you down.
When you are plummeting,
they are reluctant to pull you up.
This is not new,
nothing is under the sun.
They invest in hearsay,
they inject conjecture.
These champions of malice,
these conscripts of animus.
Fret not about this lot,
fear not their rot.
Contort your own...

Wear witty way
Dream deeper day
Seek sublime say


Charm cheeky chance
Drill dummy dance
Treasure true trance


Nurture nice notch
Weeping words watch
Prance pleasant porch


Chance conscripts clay
Pickled plots play
Sad sorrow sways


Primal play plots
Loiter late lots
Sick slaying slots


Sense simple sights
Lasting love lights
Free floating flight
