Forced Retirement of Some African Military Generals After the Coup of Gabon Yesterday
some African presidents  forced  the retirement
of  some military generals and others removed them
 from some key posts  yesterday 
After  the coup d'état of Gabon. 
Some African presidents
who think to own their countries 
and stayed on power for decades 
now they have...

Generals of the Undead
Lying in their coffins
Ready to receive their orders
Then relay to their minions
Enemies to receive no quarter
Bringing hordes into lockstep
In the glow of gothic night
Where dreams and nightmares
Are presented in plain sight

Then the bell tolls
They begin to open their eyes
The hour is fast approaching
The power to...

The Generals
The Generals

You have seen them
nodding benevolently like
plump German butchers in small
shoppes, carelessly stripping pink
flesh from the bones of sheep.

They smile, a polite bow,
courteous generals in a civilized
war of rules, displaying their
purple hearts, adorned with the parsley
slogans of God and country.

Have you noticed that they
keep the...

Collateral Damage Is Not Only For Generals To Have Sleepless Nights Over
I used to think collateral damage was something,
Only Generals and politicians had to worry about.
How wrong I was.
No matter whether the decisions we all take are good or bad,
Others mostly bare the consequences.
And there is no use denying that fact.

Parents will have sleepless nights over...

Mountains and Generals
Mountains and Generals 

What scared me most as a child were tall mountains dark silent sometimes
 white topped and often wearing a crown of a murderous miasma of gloom. 
 Once my ship docked in a constricted fjord, a smelting plant, a few houses
 and...

The Third World War: My Generals
My soldiers and 
Worse! 
My Generals
Failed to understand the kind of battlefield
They are dealing with.
They failed to understand 
The difference between
Your skin,
Your Lips,
And 
Your eyelashes....

Five Star Generals
I done went Rawr
inside of my car
possesing the skills
that could make me a star

as soon as I be 
get down on one knee
tebowing forgive my sins
and let me walk free

chained to this place
like I have no choice
I still sing, inside of me
like I have no...

Premium Member The Pepperman and the Generals
I OPENED A DOOR
TO A INTERESTING SCENE.

CORPORATE DEALINGS
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

MAYBE A CONSPIRACY
SOMETHING ABOUT LAND

HAVING CONTROL
AND WIELDING COMMANDS

PETRO AND DIAMONDS
SILVER AND GOLD.

FORCING OTHERS
TO DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD.

WORK THEM TO DEATH
IT'S TRULY INSANE.

MAKES ME FEEL 
I'M THE GOD IN THIS GAME.

THEY SPOKE ABOUT CONTROL
OVER...

The Silver-Haired Generals
Silver-haired generals
gather to tell us why;
yet they skip questions – salute
into the TV camera.

Mother askes:
“Who are these silver-haired gentlemen
wearing a uniform similar to your brothers?

“They are the Country Mom”, I say,
they are the men that appropriate
the exact number of body bags
so that there is never...

The Warring Generals of Sudan
The warring Generals of Sudan

Yesterday, they were friends,
Sharing the cake of power together.
“This kind of friendship never ends”
One corpse did whisper.
Today they fight over the cake of power.
Where has their love gone this hour?
Two guns lock horns,
And civilians suffer.
Our piece of peace has torn.
Guns ring...

Cardboard Commanders: A Game of the Generals Poem
The cardboard square, a battlefield unfurled,
Two hidden armies in a silent world.
Red and blue banners crisp and neatly stacked,
A childhood strategy meticulously tracked.

The General stood, a symbol bold and bright,
Protected fiercely with all our youthful might.
Each numbered rank, a secret held so deep,
While cautious moves...
