A Pub Halfway to the Heavy Affair
The largest part of this abandoned warehouse
for creative dilemma is still in the ash medium
from you reach.
Though you’ve part of this morning haze that won’t go unrecognized.
Now that we’ve finally managed to right away ahead of our views across the bridge, it seems that elsewhere you’ve made every effort to prove yourself with your wrongly

WEALTH
Wealth can be wonderful and a curse, it can make you do stuff that is not nice.
It can control your every move, making you into a slave for use.
Wealth needs attention and needs more, more money to grow and control all of the earth.
Wealth is a manmade substance it controls the flow

Epitaph on Amy Winehouse
(September 14, 1983 – July 23, 2011)
Here lies Amy Winehouse under a rock,
who tasted vinegar in tomatoes
and took her time to open the padlock
for those entering Home Guard,
who were found below the bard,
let them remember her next fine toes.

I am safe
I am safe
————-
Settled into
my little place
my thriving community
my group of friends.
I am safe.
I read and watch news of
my city
my state
my nation
the world,
but I am safe.
Activities going on,
rally’s and parades
neighbors against neighbors
war and conflict
hunger and death
human rights denied,
but I am safe.
Am I safe?

white
from one to another
We see the obstacle in near sight
The clouds shift another way
An extra leaf on my ivy plant
a crack on a glass
dust bunnies emerging
a small cry on seashore
eyes from above
just looking at the details

Red white and blue'
May peace reign under these three colours?
That the nazis fell to.' America Russia and
allied flags showing the whole world'
The same three colours, that saw us all through'
Here i invoke Christian values and vision.'
That have endured..Where these banners flew
True...As no traitor to freedom.' I lift the colours
Up too.! I stand for liberty and freedom..Now
Now what say

Mouldy Fear Fugue
she drinks mouldy fear in morning
the morning needing vit C vit C
team Alice alliterates twig pieces to be
to be sprouting green leaves true blue
sweeping bits onto dustpan hue true
grit to cubes which only they read heed
using time making dough row seed
painting faces so cute for pic to

You call me by my name, too intentional
I gather all the courage to think more rational
You always held me when I’m available
But truly who am I, for you negotiable?
Your time is priceless, I cannot bargain
Mine is typical, but I can always sustain
I never asked for more than everything
Just be part of yourself, I can

The waggle of bubbly fizz
dawn-born bubbles rise
lifting in glass to the sky
an exultant choir—
ringing a sacred mantra
to summon the faithful throng
the soft incense clings,
invisible yet binding,
threading through the mist—
binding spirits together
all sharing a common breath
wind shakes the blossoms
perfume drifts out as a lure
for lone foragers—
coming back with a new dance
a waggle step hymn pathway
one for one and all
though small

PREPARATION SENATOR
Seven year old Boy with a dream
Aspiration to become a Senator one day
At an early age, the young boy needed to know how with the specifics
He tried doing research on his own, but didn’t quite know the fundamentals with concepts
Politics has terminology all its own
The young boy tried to practice, practice and even act like

If Mother Earth Came Forth Today
If Mother Earth came forth today
she'd throw her hand up, and would say.
"Oh my dear world what have you done?
Look closely at what you've become."
Humanity with no regard
to live in peace can't be too hard!
Destruction, pillage, selfish greed,
all comes from want, and not from need.
You strip the trees, the soil is bare
You mine my lands

EVIL IS THE DEVIL
The devil is afraid
I told him to show his face
He's steadily hiding in dark
Plotting evil
Taking me unaware, he's a coward
If he can't get to me
He comes through
Those are close to me
I use discernment
So I don't hurt those that are prey to him.
His words are so soothing
But his

MASTERMINDS
Freedom comes with a cause
A price to pay
Only the brave pay dearly
Due to the danger of suffering
Even when you're doing your best
It seems like you've done nothing
Due to denials and oppression from opposition.
To be a mastermind
You must master your mind
Knowing what you're made for or of
Then surrounding yourself with masters
