~9/ll: A Day Of Infamy~ 
(Chain Poem Style) 



September eleventh is a day 
Day of infamy that I'll never forget 
Forget what with my horrified eyes I watched 
Watched coming from my TV screen and that re-played 
Re-played showing airplanes flying and hitting straight 
Straight...

I would often hear my parents somberly recall
That fateful December that changed it all
The morning was Sunday, ....a day of rest
They were getting ready for church, wearing their Sunday best
The radio was playing Glenn Miller's "In The Mood"
There was a sudden interruption of the peaceful...

Let’s celebrate Pearl Harbor – and why not?
A pretext for a party?  It’s terrific!
It simply wouldn’t do if we forgot
that evil bid to conquer the Pacific!

There’s one aggressive nation, poised to strike:
it has, somehow, to come up with a ruse:
the victim is distracted, zombie-like:
“we...

I can't imagine what goes through a girls mind,
As she lives grows and encounters the blues,
Looking for prince charming in the nick of time,
To carry her off on a journey that begins with two.

Most guys I know tremble at the thoughts of getting married,
They run...

The lightning, it was over bright

Arthritic trees, stripped bare of leaves,

seemed skeletal, inflicting fright

The lightning, it was over bright

as if the devil's acolyte 

The world shall beg for mercy, please!

The lightning, it was over bright

Our Day That Will in Infamy, our entire nation was crying on that dreadful day-
Nine one one, nine one one!!  We should have seen them terrorist---those evil men---
in those planes coming-after all--911 means emergency!!
After all-- those radical hateful men --high- jacked those...

If Narcissus had just been a female
  she would not have been infamous at all

Admiring her locks in clear water
  she might have been anyone’s daughter...

Rolling in faster than I can respond
Trying to keep up with what’s going on
Feels like it’s swirling out of control
Everyone wanting a piece of my soul

Can’t breathe without someone reporting
Can’t write without someone retorting
Feel the night wind with watching eyes
Accusations, assumptions, blatant lies

Hiding in darkened,...

Another day void of daydreaming,
a clean smile has perished, drowned
under our policies of greediness.


The oceans of the planet won’t hide
our infamy or conceal our sins.
Perfectly pure hands have been crucified 
on a cross of sanctified water.


Sad lamentations carrying over
of never ending horrific crying.
The lifeless body...

A day
Yesterday
2400 hours long
didn't talk to my baby
stayed up all night
making her a tape
hoping everything's okay
my mind was just agape
that's all I have to say
today is a virgin day....

NAJIB Razak might be jailed up to 125 years and fined a total of RM210 million if found guilty of corruption in relation to a former 1MDB unit

Nothing can be more refreshing....
Than rereading an old news so profound that it strikes you as...

What can I say, shocked and appalled, but this day has been long in coming. 

The South has never forgiven nor forgotten our Civil War of 1865. What surprises me is that I am a witness to this spectacle. I can't imagine what our allies...

On this day pestilence had hands and fingers,
dripping with maroon redemption, soaked in alternate intention,
on this day even the desert felt despair,
felt the footprints of a poisonous discourse.

The Nile with a disrupted course,
soaked with a disposed corpse,
a pest by the name of Seth scarcely shook,
dismemberment...

That bright young President shot down in Dallas
who turned out to be an addict and philanderer.

And don’t get me started on our most
recent former President and his insurrection.

That hundred-meter sprinter who held an Olympic 
Record overnight until his urine tested positive.

That cohort of steroid taking...

The labels, some serve to award with honour
and others are just straight up meant  to demean
The much sought after accolades and the prestige, ever so enticing 
lend a tender sweet stroke to massage and pamper the ego
The reproof and the infamy delivers a gut...
