All work ethics and human virtues, he hoards
for twenty-five years, he has never stepped on mud
in him, civil service has a lord
every signboard shows he’s a man of his word
against financial crimes, his clothings include a sword
the spectrum of his fans is nowhere near broad
and...

The sea horse, sea lion, sea elephant
Joined the force for “Ocean’s Most Vigilant”
All claimed they’re watchful creatures
Wise and keen in their ventures
Yet from man’s waste, they weren’t triumphant.

They then vowed to help guard ocean’s beauty 
As sea patrol of good authority
Praying, they asked God’s guidance
And...

Be vigilant, 
When Justice is not claimed
 by some witnesses of unjust 
 actions  because they are  privileged. 
Time will come for them to regret 
When they will be victims 
of the same systems. 

Be Vigilant, 
You can hear some innocent 
people shouting as they are shooting
here...

An ache in my arm arrived on Thursday,
I thought Arthur Itis had come to stay.
By 1am it was hurting like hell,
Painkillers I took didn't make me well.

this surface thin brittle
teased tinkling ice...

memories interwoven...
heavily draped wisely
entrapped...

delicately arranged...
fragile inner-childhood fear...

bemused...many triggers...
continuous happy tiny moments...
interrupted...by casual slaying dread...

trifle chilly moments...echos
to this very day...her spirit...hid 
under her bed...in her wardrobe...
the child hid to play...

her triggers aware alert intuitive...
she trusts her inner rescuer...

the source will sound...

With you, I gladly 
dance the sleepwalkers' waltz, yet 
still, while on my way 

to descend, picking 
up the thread by following 
Ariadne's line, 

like vigilant ones, 
I would rather desire to
be on the watch by your side....

Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing 
And drunkenness 
          And the anxieties of daily life

 And that day catch you by surprise like a trap
 For that day (of Jesus' Coming) will...

Our dog is a professional sleep monster.
 She jumps from couch to recliner,
sticking with whoever looks the most-almost-nap-ready.

I have never seen a more-ready-to-nap dog,
she sleeps with anyone and everyone,
going from bed to bed.

It is easy to do this here. 
Although there are but two of...
