Our National Hero

A tribute to 159th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal



Soul of a hero ignites,
With the use of mighty pen he fight,
From the colony of other countries,
Hail your greatness, it stays in our memories.

Dr. Jose Rizal, your life was an inspiration,
Born to defend our beloved nation,
You are really an intelligent person,
Writing poetry was your greatest passion.

The spirit of nationalistic was in your mind,
Helping Filipinos shows that you are kind,
Your heart dictates to do the right thing,
To fight for freedom, history remember your writings.

Runs in your veins Malayan royalty,
Bloodless revolts spread easily,
By your pen that is considered mighty,
Shout for joy, Philippine Independence for our country.

This poem dedicated to 159th Birth anniversary of our Philippine National Hero

AIRPORT

They're selling off our Airport, does anybody care? 
The old Gazette's done nothing yet, no 'Save it' campaign there 
The Echo there in Darlo seems quite reluctant to 
Investigate the Peel Magnate and what they're pushing through 

We contacted the BBC to find out what they thought 
They built a reputation on injustices they've fought 
But Inside Out's done less than nowt, it all seems too much hassle 
Imagine the furore if it happened at Newcastle 

It seems our dithering councillors sold off the legacy 
Of half a million users, all done on the Q.T. 
Our MPs tell us nothing, and, quieter than a mouse 
Is the sinister young Minister of the Northern Poorhouse 

Freedom of Information's not easy to obtain
Rumours of secret deals done, we hear now and again
But calls fall on deaf ears, to them it's all a game 
Elected representatives should hang their heads in shame  

It looks like asset-stripping, part of the business creed 
As Peel dole out their reasons to mask their business need 
And those we chose to serve us must surely think we're blind 
I wonder who's being treated well, in my suspicious mind. CHING CHING.

We had a bustling airport, to us a little gem, 
But giving up our heritage means simply nowt to them, 
They're gonna build the factory sites and houses everywhere 
They're killing off our airport and no one seems to care. 
They're killing off our airport and no one seems to care.

Premium Member Reality

as builders spend pennies
flipping profits on houses
lifestyle gurus
show us how to fold trousers

and chefs under pressure
scream out all their orders
while people in need
are labelled as hoarders 

and bookies fix odds
for the afternoon races
as judges cast judgements
on bizarre family cases

and teams answer questions
to win mystery prizes
while traffic cops chase
young suicide drivers

and retirees escape
to a life on the Costas
as law firms inform us
it’s good to sue doctors

and super vets cure
lame dogs and sick horses
as folk with backstories
fail SAS courses

and dealers earn livings
from ducking and diving
while medics with agents
get judged Strictly jiving
  
and loan deals have small print
explaining their charges
while celebs enjoy cruising
on canals in large barges

and food critics chew
over masterful dinners
and. there. are. several. long. seconds
before we find out the winners

but when MPs dodge questions
on the numerous news’ panels
it’s proof that what bites
really sucks on our channels.

You Are Like a Storm

Pain is within me,
Pulsating all over my body,
Burning like wildfires,
Discovering my hidden desires.

You are like a storm,
My superman is born,
Exploring the unknown,
From sunrise till dawn.

Can’t control the feeling inside,
Can’t resist without you by my side,
You are like a roller coaster,
Heat bursting like a fever.

Will it last for a lifetime?
Will you be really mine?
Or it will fade away in a flash?
That in my dream anytime it will crash?

Flowers In My Garden

FROWERS IN MY LITTLE GARDEN

Flowers in my little garden,
So beautiful! Made in heaven,
Different colors I really like,
Row by row what a lovely sight!!

Watered with tenderness,
My heart filled with happiness,
You brighten my tiring day,
Soft winds make it all sway.

One Nation

One Nation.
8 social class groups; 
63 million people; 
50,000 millionaires; and 
100,000 homeless. 
One Nation.

One Nation.
Two parliaments; two assemblies 
6 mainstream parties; 
650 MPs; (27 ethnic minorities MPs); but
35% of the population never voted. 
One Nation

One Nation 
14 million children; 25,000 schools
7% of pupils are in private school;
31% of MPs attended private school; but 
3.5 million kids are still in poverty 
One Nation. 

One Nation
134 Prisons
90,000 Prisoners
145,000 Police officers; but
1,000 deaths in police custody without one conviction. 

One Britain; 
One Nation?

Note: The political idea of One Nation in British politics was coined by Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) and used by countless politicians since, to refer the duty owed by the 'better off' to help those less well endowed and fortunate. That irrespective of     class, Britian should not be two nations of rich and the poor, but rather one, united society.

Premium Member Reason Grandpa Writes

This syndrome they call Hurlers,  version MPS-1
I write to advise, alert all and to inform everyone
Their prayers are needed for the future of earth
Arrogance and greed must replace them with mirth

Believe in God's Heaven, your wishes will soar, 
to be heard by family inside heaven's door. 
Tell grandpa and grandma, my daughter, your son 
of raising your children in the Florida sun. 

The Great Spirit will listen, to the words that you speak 
and judge from your heart, if your spirit is weak. 
He will fill heart and spirit to carry the fight, 
through the darkness ahead, trust in the light 

For peace in the darkness, speak with your friends, 
know wisdom and guidance, will be what he sends 
Not fearing the darkness, enter it strong 
praying his answer will come with a song. 

Your wishes will soar to the heavens above, 
through family and friends about the one that you love. 
I'm not a prophet, seer or fool, 
just a man who lives by this earthly rule . 

Children are treasures, as I speak to the sky 
that they should enjoy life, long after I die. 
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride 
When prayers are answered, your children will thrive.

Lion In Cage---Ugandan Story For You

As you come to Uganda visit Entebe zoo
Come to the lion cage
Don't stare or watch just look in the lions eyes
It will tell you all the stories of Kampala

You see the red eyes of Besigye 
With the zeal to break the cage
And lead Uganda
But the pain of tear gas is unbearable

Look at this lion again
Laying down as if it has been tamed 
Then you will see a Lukwago 
Who wants to do the mayor job
But all the power is in Musisi

Come closer, you will the lion roar
To show its potential but all in vain
Like Nsereko moving a motion In Parliament
But scared by his mother party

Don't stop look closest
You will see this is not a lion
Its a lioness, Its kadaga
Chairing Parliament
On tension to expel rebel MPs

Look again you will see it all
The begging hands of street kids for rescue
The serious police force
The sweat of unemployed graduates 
The noise of boda boda riders
And the potholes in the city

This lion at Entebe zoo
Knows how much the staff labors to fed it
It know how much they spend on it 
Like the way Ugandans know 
How much the government has given to them 
But as you look at it 
It tries to hide its jungle character
Because thats how it earns money to feed it 
It knows the staff gets from what belongs to it
Like the way corrupt officials
Pledge on our funerals
Burying our own who died of disease
That would have been cured by the same money
They played lots

Now run away from that cage
Before that lion comes with all its craws
Begging for its freedom
Like Ugandans
On walk to work

The Moving Target

I am the eponymous A. Floating-Voter!
I do know my mind, but I’ll follow the pack … 
My vote’s up for sale now, to the highest bidder.
Yes! What was that offer, sir? You at the back?

One fellow offered me ‘less unemployment’;
Another one’s promised a crackdown on Crack.
A third says my kids should get more education!
Now who’s gonna offer me tuppence off tax?

One bloke is standing who’ll never be sitting!
So if he’s elected, he won’t see it through.
He said I could choose ‘Not to be European’.
I thought I did that back in ’72 … 

‘A’ says I’ll have more disposable income;
‘B’ says he’ll build us more roads and such-like. 
If I vote for ‘B’, I’ll have more roads to drive on; 
If I don’t vote for ’A’, then I can’t run a bike! 

All of them claim to be fighting corruption; 
Opening closets; exposing the sin … 
Though naturally, MPs are above suspicion! 
Now, what was this ‘Members’ Expenses’ thing? 

I’m already beginning to feel some confusion.
Which of the parties is really the best?
They all claim the others are nothing but liars …
But none of them passes the ‘truthfulness’ test … 

I really do not have a clue who to vote for!
I’m starting to wonder if I should abstain … 
But ‘Say what you want!’ was my Mum’s favourite motto, 
‘And if you don’t get it, then you can complain!’ 

So, come voting day, I’ll be down at that station.
I’m going to vote, and I’m keeping close tabs …
So go for it, candidates! Try to attract me! 
‘Cause, ‘tween now and then, chaps,
My vote’s up for grabs!

Dong But Not For Long

They clapped a clock
At noon today.
Some gave applause,
Some yelled "Hooray"
Some others weeped,
They shed a tear,
We no longer
Big Ben will hear.

For four long years
Silence will reign
In Westminster
But there's no pain
Busses will pass
MPs will sleaze
Time will just pass
Like a summer breeze

What will the Beeb
Do 'fore the news
Just shout six bongs?
Give us a clue!
And at midnight
Will there be nought
Instead of chimes,
Just silence caught?

It's not the end
As some would say,
Sobbing, wailing,
Grieving away.
It will be back,
In a few years,
So stop grieving,
Give it three cheers!.

Its just a bell
that makes a "dung"
It's not yet war
with Kim Jong-un.
There's so much more
We need to fix
So just forget
Big Ben at Six.

Premium Member One Against Many

The Ancient Mariner of the parliament square
Like the mariner he was, a scrawny, skin unfair
A loner with a glittering eyes, possibly a bit touched
A Clint Eastwood impersonator look, he seemed to bear

But a powerful speaker than professional speakers.
Urging  world to live a more Christian life cleaner
Lived and slept outside the parliament for a decade
In his hand holding, with broad thrust, a loudhailer.
 
Against Western groups killing thousands Iraqi people
He fought and spoke for 3,600 days like an eagle.
Of traffic, clock bangs and the hordes of visitors.
When Haw at his mouthpiece, all the voices disabled 

Haw had a remarkably insistent, irritating voice
And Mr. David Blunkett was irked and annoyed
Reacting to 2005 organized crime And Police Act
It was “using a maul  to crack a nut” to destroy. 

The More Brian noise caused with his loudhailer
The more MPS demanded  to remove the bother
But the word “Bother” sounded too weak
Compared to warmongering by Blaire & B-liars.

 With an Antipodean woman Haw shared war choirs
With his trademark cries of “ Tony B-liar, Tony B.I.A.R”
When another woman started up, public was grateful 
Sharp as seamstress’s needle was  Sheila’ s  crisp voice. 

Despite his Left-wing  favor,  he was a Right-wing figure
A man, standing up to the state, never thought to disfigure
Brian Haw had plenty more fuel  for all his protests
The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq to configure.

When Milosevic  was tried  at the Hague for war crimes
He said, “why not to try Blair and Bush’s Crimes?”
Like Coleridge’s haunted mariner: long, lank & brown
He had one vice: tobacco, he died of lung cancer prime.

Quack's Progress

Arriving from unknown somewhere
He set up clinic in the market square
Declared he could cure any disease
Using herbal drugs of plants and trees
Townsfolk being credulous
Soon to his shop began to rush
Diabetics, rheumatics, asthmatics flooded
None over his degree brooded
A few weeks later, afloat was this rumor
He cures for he rightly detects the humor
Realizing that every client is a prospective fan
He talked in technical terms even with laymen
He would expose his victims to numerous medical terms
Also trade-names, contents, firms, diseases and germs
Just to exhibit erudition and sound philosophy
Without occasion he embarked on learned topics
Often dwelt on sedatives and epilepsy
Or discoursed at length on tumor and biopsy
Then in a torrent of rodomontade would relate
Histories of cases cured with specific names and date
Discourses full of references to Ayurvedic treatises
Madhav, Charak, Susrut and other varieties
To prove his point he recited aloud original excerpts
As a result ,he soon won the epithet: "expert of experts"
"Discourteous ingrates! They even do not thank
Though I give 'em new life" exclaimed the mountebank.
Always eager to spar against allopathy
At the slightest provocation he would lecture on allopathic hazards
Or would lament on untidy hospitals and unhygienic wards
Boldly averring: "To hide anything from patients is a deadly sin"
Within no time he became a celebrity
His tricks worked and brought him publicity
After a year DHO came to see him in person
And sought his counsel for his sick son
A minister's car at his doorstep halted
Just to enhance libido and weakness treated
He gave the minister powerful mercury dust
Which triggered his vigor and inflamed his lust
Then to CM's ears reached his fragrant fame
Who called him secretly telling him not to declare name
MPs in turn heard of this rare phenomenon
And turned up to consult him one by one
Director drug control came to seek his advice
For chronic dysentery and perennial bronchitis
At length PM had to send him his compliments
For service to nation and" particular "patients
The whole world acknowledged him as master of his craft
But a person knew his truth in his own staff
His compounder knew his master was a fake
But he swallowed the secret for heaven's sake

Gunny Mad Dog Maddux

Gunny Mad Dog Maddux

We were hanging out at 3rd Marine Air Wing
And we knew we had it good
No bloused boot, always soft cover
No marching and plenty of food.

Then Headquarters in its wisdom
Threw a shark into our pool.
One look at our new Gunny
And we knew this Marine was no fool.

Gunny Mad Dog Maddux was his name
Came to us from the MPs,
But he let us know right off the bat
That he wasn't there to please.

Hair bristle black with white sidewalls,
Tall and straight he stood.
And he said when we thought we couldn't
He knew d**n well that we could.

Said it didn't matter the job
Or what our training stood for
We owed it to ourselves to do
Our best for God, Country and Corps.

But more than that, said Mad Dog
You have a duty to get it right.
Because getting it wrong might mean the life
Of the Marine on your left and your right.

It's been fifty some years and then some
Since Gunny Mad Dog came our way.
But I doubt if any of us
Have ever forgotten that day.

It was right what he taught us then,
And living it has opened many a door.
"You've got a duty to get it right,
Do your best for God, Country and Corps."

So here's a toast to our Gunny Mad Dog
Gone now for many a year and more,
You had a duty, you got it right,
For God, for Country, for Corps.

Premium Member Six Days of Christmas

Six Days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my MP had for free:
A partridge with all the trimmings. 
It didn’t come from Aldi

On the second day of Christmas my MP had on me:
Two vintage Champagnes, a partridge with all the trimmings
And nothing came from Aldi

On the third day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Three Harrod’s Hampers, two vintage Champagnes, 
A partridge with all the trimmings
And nothing came from Aldi.

On the fourth day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Four new suits, three Harrod’s hampers, two vintage champagnes
A partridge with all the trimmings,
And nothing came from Aldi

On the fifth day of Christmas my MP had on me: 
Five houses rent free!! four new suits, three Harrod’s hampers, 
Two vintage Champagnes, a partridge with all the trimmings 
And nothing came from Aldi.

On the sixth day of Christmas the MPs did to me: 
Lied through their teeth
Raised inheritance tax, 
Froze all the pensioners,
Put thousands out of work
Crippled the economy
Cancelled local elections
Gave 50 million to terrorists
While I ate a sandwich from Aldi.
