Which way did they go

Devolping a blueprint
this guy is "Championship 
Material"; A scientific display
in full display of both men's
Ability. Due to there likeness
there display is equal, only due
the "Championship Advantage"
The "Champions Advantage" is
Seen through how the champion
defends. "A hand over the lions
cage, might give advantage to the
cagey experienced guy: if the challenger
makes him quit or hurts the champion
It gives him advantage to the board of
directers .Tokens and same tokens only
Gives the challenger reason to challenge.
A clear decisive defeat gives either challenger
reason to go on: or gives champion reason
to dismiss. A champion is dethroned, a worthy
Challenger gives reasons for a champion to bragg!

Christmas Poem
Jingle bells 
The doorbell rings 
Granny and grandpa
With Present for all
Jack screams then
runs down the hall

Jingle bells 
Dinner ready 
Granny yells 
Eat till you can't 
The wrapping paper is ripping 
The people are thanking

Splash in the pool 
Trying to beat my cousin 
Cause he thinks he's so cool
Mum and aunt lyla 
Bragg about us kids 
A secret competition
My dad still doing business stuff
My dogs trying catch the fluff

My uncles just ate dinner 
But i watch as they let the sausages simmer
My sister aria mashed potatoes
I shoo the fly
As we say our goodbyes
My uncle yells
Merry christmas to all and to all a good night

But Not For Me

The March rain is here and
it's flowers are in bloom.

Love has come to they whom bragg
But love won't come to me.

My love is there inside her breast
Where love shall always be.

Every night love comes to them
But never comes to me.

Odd Story Iii

Chain made out of candy 
So I Bragg the sweetest,
A good man, just don't mistreat me
Treat me well or miss me.

Clan full of rebels...
Soulless geniuses, what you call that?
Archives for those ancient achievements
Illustrated by artists and writers 
Glyph's to symbols I'm constructing the past; 
to contrasting the rest,
From the dull '60s to the saturated '80s
Man, we strive for revolution,
We move for evolution...

Payment of anti-Semites and unknown legions 
Bombing peace campaigns:
Built by the nations
Congressmen asking kings for higher wages, 
traded souls: The walls of the kingdom,
Crowns of hard cut diamonds:
Broken hearts and hard decisions,
Pope, bishops and ministries as the 
psychologist of the state:
Healing minds through amnesty, 
reconciliation and pardons...

Excuse me!... says the judge,
Casting the portions to dark caves:
Animals, carnivores roaring for prey,
So we pray.

No One Is Perfect

No one is perfect 
Perfection is never man made
So when you Bragg 
Of all you can do 
Or all you have done 
Remember someone 
Has done it before 
but yet 
Remains calm

No one is perfect 
Perfection is not determined 
By how intelligent 
One gets to be 
For no matter 
What you know in life
Yet you cant know all about 
Life 
So on this quest 
Be kind and humble
 in life for
No one is perfect


Your Aura (A Collaboration With Elizabeth Shannon)

The energy around you felt amazing, encompassing my very soul.
You were like a drug I was craving, and I lost all self control!
So intense was my desire, it was like a molten river flowing with need.
My loins were on fire, and the longing in my body language you could easily read.
I was burning to intertwine in your light, to swim in that pinkish hue.
I was yearning to make you mine, and ignite the sweetest passion from you!

The energy was beyond explaining...
Consuming my very being;
Like a drug if I tasted you once...
I knew without you I'd be sick...Fiening.

Mistaken with the many men syndrome.
While cupid continued missing "we."
Our connection is undeniable,
Still love is hard to see.

You've captured my attention,
and you've held all my senses hostage.
Your aura is pulling my whole essence towards you;
Mentally and physically I think you know what to do!

One Mistake Cost Many Tears

Oh that I had shunned his first embrace.
And turned away his luscious kiss.
Too young to understand love,
Afraid to feel him near,
Filled with emotion.
He took control.
Dreams rampant.
Thinking 
Love.

I should have dated other people.
Instead I clung to only him.
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
I followed him to sin.
Self-respect was lost.
My values crushed.
Love in force.
Ashamed.
Bad.

I should have gone to port with girlfriends.
My “perfect match” they said, was there.
My soul mate docked near, that year.
Young, handsome, and gifted –
That meeting drifted.
Missed at Ft. Bragg,
And Texas.
But now,
We…

Shattered!

Another sleepless night has come my way.
Trying to find answers of a tragedy that took place.
My nephew came running screaming for help.
Little Jeremiah would not wake up.

We ran next door to my sister-in-laws house.
The little child layed in his mother’s lap.
No signs of life visible to the eyes-
Checked for a pulse but none could be found.

We found a small body frail as it could be.
Laid there motionless-CPR began.
It was too late the damage had been done.
I bowed my head and the tears began to run.

A life so innocent had just began to live,
Was taken away by the ignorance of men.
A niece and her boyfriend that could not agree.
Took things out on a child that was so weak.

Felony Child Abuse they both face.
The rest of the family is grieving from their mistake.
We need your prayers to help us get through.
Facing a tragedy and I don’t know what else to do.


The Duhart/Bragg Family certainly need your prayers.
Jeremiah Bragg was only two years old. We mourn the loss.

Heroes

Henry Normal is very informal
When he reads his poetry
Robbie Caltrane looks almost insane
When he apears on the TV
Bruce Forsythe has a very nice wife;
Well he's had quite a few you know
And Roger McGough was once known to cough
On a live broadcast TV show

A.A Milne may have owned a kilne
In which he mad pottery Poohs
Billy Bragg was once called a slag
By someone in blue suede shoes
Ben Elton ate a hot cross bun
And he isn't religious you know
And Roger Mcgough was once known to cough
On a live broadcast TV show.

Alan Bennett could run for the sennett
and write all the speaches much beter
Jonathan price doesn't need my advice
So I won't even write me a letter
Stephen Fry is so nice I could cry
And Hugh Laurie has a readybreak glow
And Roger McGough was once known to cough
On a live broadcast TV show
