Best Era Poems

Before diving into the time machine for a nostalgic trip on my music video ‘Ring On My Line’ above, I invite you to read my preamble Sonnet below.

Ring On My Line -The Golden Era of Doo Wop, Retro Revival

If you've ever waited for a call...

Der Sommer wie er einst war,
bleibt unvergessen
und zwischen Rosenranken 
ruht ein Hauch vergang'ner Tage,
wie leichter Tau 
auf stillem Morgengras

Der Sommer wie er einst war,
ich ungezwungen,
wir Kinder, 
zwischen Häuserecken 
und dem fernen Wald,
spielten dort Nachlauf 
und Verstecken

Ich seh' den Sommer wie er war,
mit neuen Augen.
Und wieder...

Time to rest,
laying sound and ponder,
my mind will race and wander,
blinkers on, blinkers off,
time to turn my emotions off.

Mind, body and soul,
to each district my mind roll,
soul to soul as I go,
uplifting and peace,
but that districts a no no.

Oblivious to the carnage,
my good name may...

Young, gentle and in bondage
This innocent bird flew towards the promised land
Her frame petite yet powerful
Her eggs beautifully nested when transported from Calcutta

The sight of the new turf welcoming
A dream of hope and fair go brewing deep within
Day and night she laboured for payments equating...

She became a symbols of American pride,
as she made her run down the tracks.
Those big drivers turning eight wheels
and smoke pouring from her stack.
Pulling cars from Chicago to Memphis,
on across that Delta Land,
running down to Baton Rouge and over to the Gulf Coast sands.
She saw...

We
Didn't hear God's whispers

We
Chose to ignore God's cries

We
Even disregarded God's roar of
His wrath
For all wrongs we were doing:
To nature  
To life  
To each-other.

Then
Silence fell...
An eerie silence
Carrying with it an invisible virus
That brought:
Fear
Terror and
Death.

Suddenly
We woke up from apathy's slumber
And rush forward to repel the...

The rational subject
Dances in duality
Stripped of earnings, personhood urging
Marked by contract, on paper
Life transforms into property
Belligerent because of tooth enamel-
That unexpected biological decay
Proves that mind stands still

We've built up a hoary artifice
Exclaiming our particular version of truth
Covering the ground with gridwork and lines
Mining jewels to...

withered
      frail
           old,
upon 
the wayside of life..
the stream
        of time 
floats by:
insights 
        unwanted
experience

The Era of Area 

Diameters 
Circumference

The whole sector

My vision is the mirror of the world I'm reflecting 

Led by my Path and direction

I said I was reckless 

But only to relay the message 

That    
peace is peace

But that don't mean just ah...

It's only the start now
...a road yet unknown
At times the whisper of other steps
...sometimes we walk alone

The best start of our lives
May at times cry in sorrow
But even on our deadliest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our best
Whatever time may bring
And look...

Nonsense up on top
Stupidity glorified
Nations in peril!

To know just where your're going

You must know where you've been

You must respect the history

The things others have seen

It's true in all things relative

Be it music, sports or life

If you don't know where you came from

You're just dancing on a knife

May, and...
