THE DALLAS COWBOYS

Can you not hear the rumblings of that distant herd coming,
The loud thundering of destiny’s champions crossing, the NFL
Field of dreams, beware the rampaging lightening team known
As the Dallas Cowboys, for they are the hail storms victorous
Breed, the eye of the hurricane riders, searching for their
Well-deserved trophy of fortunes honor! 
Remove your cowboy’s hats of respect unto them, ladies
Curtsy with reverences motion, for these athletes are
Endurance’s best, and they shall overcome against
Any opposing finest challengers, these rangers of the
Old western traditions, that carry this country’s time
Honored name of the cowboy to the ultimate extreme,
Of skill and strength’s dexterity!
Dallas all plain drifters of purity’s valor, head to head
No bull horns about it, these are the champions of the
Gladiatorial games in the world of sportsmanship!
Yielding unto no oppositions combatants, these warriors
Hold their ground with distinctions sheer magnificence!
Let those world famous cheerleaders scream with every
Field goal achieved, for these beauties know that no
Other team in footballs annals will score, to the level
Of these good old boys, named by fame's hall of records,
The famous Dallas Cowboys, heehaw and God bless hum!
Now listen you city slicking team of sports hall of fameing
Seekers, you’d better go back to your home fields of 
Advantages, for hear in this lone star state, we take no
Prisoners, and show no mercy to out lander's!
Here in the ALAMO state of freedoms calling,
We remember our heritage standing tall and 
Proud against all odds, blazoned in bullets
Historical legends, our grand team barres
The name of fore-barriers proudly, those
Pioneer’s men known, as the all American
Cowboys!
These six-shooters whom rode the die hard tails,
Across a new world creating a country of freedom,
Where only the tumble-weeds rolled, and desert dust,
Coached a man’s thirst almost to madness!
Now in traditions sport of men, a new team of desperado’s,
Threatens this lone star state, but have no fear my fellow
Texans for our Dallas Cowboys will send them packing,
With a good old boy’s field goals smacking, so I’ll cheer
Them on, waving my hat in the evening air, yelling heehaw,
Go get hum boys!

Premium Member Dallas - November 1993

Flyin south to Dallas
in a cold November rain
with this continental climate
weather there may be the same.
There’s money from two countries
janglin in my purse
and stories from two families
caught up in this verse.

The airplane’s almost empty
and I’m stretched across two seats
tryin to connect things
that are always out of reach.
Haven’t yet had time to miss you
and I really won’t be long
though last time I was in Texas
I know I did you wrong.

Now I’ve never stayed in Dallas
seems I’m always passin through
thirty years ago in Dallas
JFK passed this way too.
So you’ve read it in your paper
seen it on your TV screen
but what’s real, what’s illusion
and what’s caught up in-between?

Now when I remember Alice
I think of Texas in the spring
with the wildflowers bloomin
redbud out and warblers sing.
But Alice isn’t here now
smoke and  booze - they took their toil
Messy life and lonely death
now she’s one with Texas soil.

There’s an ice storm now in Dallas
but the plane is coming in
red sun hangin low o’er Dallas
let another record spin.

Tragedy Occurred In Dallas, Texas - Usa 2016

Tragedy Occurred in Dallas, Texas (USA) 2016

A sniper
A peace fight
Police officers lost their lives.
From the highest tower, 
Shots are fired.
Over what is stated to be the white man crimes.

Of oppression and a racist society
A peace fight transpired.
Five officers died. 
We mourn and we cry,

Shouting the face of America has been scrutinized from
Transgression of another hate crime.
Six were wounded and five died
Over Black lives matter.

Upsetting the balance of society
A sniper manifested.
Upset with white people
He stated he wanted to kill a multitude of them
White police officers especially.

Today is troubled.
Tragedy is an ongoing melee.
Now an uproar throughout the United States.

Downtown Dallas

The greatest thing that describes 
Downtown Dallas is that of its tallest 
building, and not only that, but also its 
parks, especially the Knoll Park. You can 
even take the car to the city or take the 
bus or ride the train there. Downtown 
Dallas has a lot of museums (The African-
American museum and the Bath House 
Cultural Center) restaurants (Iron Cactus), 
and the legendary Majestic Theater. But 
what Downtown Dallas is also famous for 
most of all is their luxurious hotels (The 
Adolohus, the Hyatt Regency, and the 
ZaZa Hotel). It's amazing how Downtown 
Dallas continues to develop and attract 
more people day in and day out. And 
outside of Downtown Dallas that attracts 
more than a million people, there's also 
the Uptown area, Deep Ellum, and there's 
also the historic West End district that 
looks exactly like Downtown Boston. 
Come to think of it, this town's so 
amazing. Right now, I wish all downtown 
areas were as interesting as Downtown 
Dallas is.

Premium Member What We Should Learn From Dallas

What We Should Learn From Dallas
By Franklin Price
7/8/2016

What we should learn from Dallas
 And the tragedy we pan,
Policemen killed cold bloodedly
 By a sicken minded man.

Took advantage of a protest,
 Of killing elsewhere by police;
Despised black on white authority, 
If cops are dead it has to cease.

As of now he was the only perp.
 There was no larger plan.
He felt he had to do it;
 To get rid of the man.

Get rid of perpetrators 
Who happen to wear blue
Whose actions are above the law
 Don't have to pay for what they do

He was past considering
 that cops are also bad and good.
Most protect all people,
 And are doing as they should.

They put their lives upon the line;
 Each and every day they work.
The bad apples among them
 Are statistically a quirk

The media and politicians
 Take sides to drive along
The minority views of both sides;
 This direction is so wrong.

  Reporting, on these deeds 
At best is very mixed
Not only deeds, but also reasons
 Are what's wrong and must be fixed.

The Cocaine Wolves of the Dallas

The cocaine wolves of Dallas. Sink your teeth into the night until they are numb, the beasts are lurking about looking for a cigarette to bum. 
The cocaine wolves of Dallas, and everybody carries a knife. Slickback your hair and tighten your laces of the boots' on the throat of life.
Key bums in the bathroom, More more more. New friends linger, Brush their teeth with their finger, and anxiously watch the door. Feed of the night. My fists are clinched, my eyes are widened,  I can see I'm feeling fine. Breathe life into to me. Bulletproof and shaky I feed deep into moonlight. Dominion over all things, with everything to gain insight. The cocaine wolves of Dallas, leave your old life behind. As the sunrises depression kicks in leaving you serotonin dry. The pack turns on each other, chewing on the by-and-by. The cocaine wolves of Dallas, where everybody carries a knife. The nighttime is the right time. If you feed the beast, the beast will feed of you.


Zydeco After Dallas

Washboard and spoons
Guitar and drums
Accordion

Getting together
With the band

A moment not about skin
But about soul
A party not about race
But about rhythm
Take a stand
(or perhaps a dance)
Against hate

Yell a little
Prance a little
Live, love a lot

Making music
While joining hands

Dallas

Five dead in Dallas,
killed by hate and long guns,
no end to terror.

Dallas, Texas 1963

She scrambled
from where she sat
in the back seat
climbing onto the
trunk of that
long luxurious Lincoln
not to escape an
assassin's assault
as many assumed
but to collect the shards of
skull and bits of brain
that had been blown
back onto it as a bullet
blasted a hole in his head
his body lolling over to
lie limply in her lap
as her flowers fell to
the floorboard
sure that if she were
to stuff them back in
he would live again

Dallas Lights

She looked up at the blue green Dallas lights,

Sparkling in the warm night air,

Blowing across her face.


What perfect lives they must lead in those lights,

While she sells her soul,

For one more tiny rock.

Dallas Bound Or Not

I’m an insurance Auto damage appraiser....So yesterday I had to inspect a car for an older gentleman and called him to setup the appointment. I told him I needed to inspect his car for the insurance company and I would be there around noon time. He said I’m fixin to go on my weekly trip to Dallas and I’m getting ready to leave. I said oh wow, I’ve always wanted to go there and asked if he was flying or will he be driving the car with him....there was about 5 seconds of nobody talking so I broke the awkward silence and said, gotta love them Cowboys! More silence. I was beginning to think oh boy Robbie. You’ve done it again. He probably meant Dallas Georgia which is two hours away and not Dallas Texas a few thousand miles away. He finally said I’m gonna leave the car in the driveway for you to inspect but I won’t be there because I have to go to DIALYSIS. I’m sure he was thinking...what kind of Brokeback Mountain fool is this talking about loving cowboys and flying. ??????????????????????? ??

Dallas

Dallas

This is evil;

This is the lion roaring through the streets,

Across the planet in all its towns;

And there is no answer, save one.

Prayer by all to the God above,

That in His gentle love, he will erase;

The thoughts of killing from the human race;

That the Lion and the Lamb will soon lie down,

In my town – in your town

In peace.

Premium Member Alice from Dallas

There was a shyster from Dallas
whose lies were full of malice.
	He groped the wrong girl
	whose anger unfurled. 
So now, they call him Alice.
