Dedicated to a fine poet on soup, Lin Lane

I shook hands with my brother and bade him farewell
Then set off on my journey away from this hell
Mexico I’d head for and buy a small farm
Meanwhile back in town the guards raised the alarm.

A posse they...

Premium Member Russian Evil Will Thrive If Good Men Do Nothing
The west went in guns blazing to help their fellow man
In Syria against the Islamic State and in Iraq and Afghanistan
They brought an end to a campaign of terror and a killing spree
And made the world a better place and safe for everybody. 

So why...

My View
My view from the clouds are quite amazing,
Off in the fields I can see the guns blazing.
	I visited this place once before,
	I leaned off the edge of the 15th floor,
	They just weren't ready to open the door,
	And so I had to wait, a year and...

PARASITE
Aint nothing in life so weak and parasitic 
As the smug self-delusional heckling critic 
Sick with repressed envy and a manner most vile 
He slithers to his seat to vent his acrid bile 
Bereft of any talent to do anything himself 
Can't wait to put...

Once upon a time...
A little boy and a little girl
Looked up at the stars from the planet below
Seeing the moon hang bright in the sky
Said one to the other, I wonder... I wonder, if there we could go.

Said the stars in the sky to the...

Tombstone - Like the Four Horsemen
they walked along
weathered, carrying their guns;
like the four horsemen…

down to the O.K.
guns blazing, bullets flying;
smoke clears, the strong stand…...

My Africa
MY AFRICA
 
A dusty street, commuters meet
A taxi crowded, a route decided
Street vendors sell, plastic from China
Fresh fruit, dead meat, flies from hell
A cellphone rings, a message pings
Africa, my Africa, I know so well
 
Populations swell, polluted wells
Children dying, old man crying
Nobody cares, everyone stares
Gold,...

Riding the dusty trail, over the Rockies, alone. 
With winter behind...

Bullet Train To Oblivion
Guilty pleasures
has you on a Siberian Ferris wheel,
spinning rapidly
Gulag suicidal libido
urges you to cock the trigger and squeeze
Keep repeating the nightmare:
Six torture chambers
Six gas chambers
Six motel rooms
with five vacancies
It's your last chance to exit
this cursed promiscuous existence;
but you don't beg to get off,
this is how...

Premium Member "our Amazing West"
Doc Holliday truly amazing
Sick to death and two six guns blazing
Though his blasting appeared not to be phasing
The calmness of his gelding equine’s grazing

This be the glory, how the west was won
By house of ill repute, and the six gun
Plenty of action, was never boring

Takers of the Lost Arc, Part Ii
...Then working with the government,
who always liked more western cash,
they set up an agreement that
they hoped could contain this backlash.

Two scientists could see the arc,
and work to verify its age,
one from Harvard, and one Cambridge,
and to Axum both made their way.

The American, an old man,
Professor...
