What Menace
I saw ten ships departing north, From out the grand Canal. They each were armed with cannons four, With mighty rationale. Atop them flew my country's flag, A phoenix white in pride, It struck about the side of crag, The first ship sank and died. I saw nine ships all leave the docks, to meet our mortal foes. The men unlocked the musket-box, To autocrats depose! The...

Combat Boots
A pair of combat boots in black, Abandoned on the top Of the ramp right by the river Brought me to a sudden stop. Beside them was a khaki shirt, Its arms tied to the rail. Together they suggested That their owner tried to bail. For a leap into the river, When nobody is about, Seems to be a way to end one’s life, An urban...

Premium Member Women In Combat
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Quote by Helen Keller A story told long ago of women who God used to change the nation because of love and welfare of their family and land. They all gathered in the garden under amethyst waterfall of wisteria vine, around an oval outdoor table ...

Our Broken Wings Held in Our Hearts of Gold And I am Torn Too To Shreds Our feathers shed, Clawed by The Cat of all Predators My heartless heart And I Kneel weary before Our Rising Sun Bathed once more In the Glory Of coming home......

Race 2
Race 2 Same old going down Graves of men now silent Nowt much happening here Just dead bodies buried After being riddled blasted Russians killed by Ukrainians Prisoners mostly of Wagner Sentences cut lives now cut Politicians bathe in blood They had quite a run Still race in Part 2 Race 1 was a loss No victory only death Plus injuries and ruin Battlefield injuries extreme It's fine there's time So...

Chinese and American Films Compared
China seems to say at all times Great Movie sprouts from The Cheap Crime’s; From kicked persons who could kick back; From nimble moves that didn’t slack; A herald of breathless combats And plain request men turn Tomcats, End victory to Innocence, Because that’s about what makes sense… America longs to be god By always checking every odd, No space...

Premium Member When the Whistle Blows
When the whistle blows You combat for your dreams When the whistle blows again You retire from your dreams When the whistle blows for the last time You have to say aloha And before the last whistle blows You have to try your best So that you won't regret For the first or the last time in life Life is so short It won't...

Premium Member A Candle In the Wind
Old age will be miserable If one thinks of the dreams That haven't been fulfilled And time is lacking If one thinks of the hatred buried in the heart And there is a little chance to release The oldy is too weak to combat again He will burn himself out Like a candle in the wind Maybe doing good Is worthy But doing bad Will...

Combat Cricket
A game played by gents they say But at over ninety miles an hour A fast bowled cricket ball Really has some striking power. A longed for confrontation between A superb bowler and a class batter. A match on a wicket so benign Every ball just got flatter and flatter, Until he managed to dig one in And get that little bit...

The Combat In Ukraine
The combat in Ukraine I have a problem; we know that Ukraine is a corrupt country we also know it has fought a low-level war against the Russian-speaking people in the Donbas region, so Russia intervened, so far so good, but what is the next step? If Russia holds on to the territory gained without having an army station...

Premium Member Moral Combat
What kinds of measures are used, When we determine between right and wrong? Since these questions constantly arise, Requiring answers to maintain and prolong. Do we look beyond the ten from those tablets, As those commands were from a time, long past? Since those don't deal with our modern...

Alpha Pistols 2
Second mag time and more damage below A gas bottle blows in an orange blast of debris While this occurs beepers still beep and lights flash It’s a huge yard and there are many targets still Slowly but surely he eliminates them like a surgeon His next gun is a BAR Browning Automatic Rifle This he shoots on single shot bipod...

Alpha Pistols
Alpha Pistols It’s a nice warm summer’s evening in 2004 The cool man was on top of the Manchester tower block He fires down with various guns at his lower targets There is a builders yard two hundred metres away The fork lift trucks zip about and disturb his sleep When they reverse their beeper goes Beep Beep! This riles the man...
