Mountain Rain Robbers
David J Walker
Before passing over
This part of the plains
The cumulonimbus fleet
Take a long drink
from the gulf of
Baja California
From El Nino and La Nina ‘s
Playground
Bearing Gifts of rain
The passing clouds gather
But are often robbed in the
Sierra’s along the way
Eyewitnesses all say
The same description
A distraction lost
In the beauty of the Mountains
Thoughtlessly robbing the Rain clouds
Rerouted into shimmering rivers
Taking away the pure waters
That were headed our way

the house filled with emptiness
surging sea of memories
cascading down the stairs
decorating chandeliers
speckled dust - eyewitnesses
letting in fresh air
yes — it has giggles
footprints everywhere
repeat often

Crank up the innuendo spindle machine,
I predict an uptick
in textile conjectural manufacturing
Tabloid logs of disparaging hardcore data
come rolling on a gossip conveyor belt
Lies and self-promotion gets shaped
into a loose fitting, fabricated article
Woven for profit,
using speculative material
cheap as they come
The rumor mill is on a rickety hum
Paparazzi garment products
getting poorly reported news labels stitched on
Unreliable eyewitnesses
are making that old lying metal beast
groan as it run
Forcing half of the naked victims to get
dressed up in lawyer fancy worded injunctions
And the other nude half
racing to get their full metal jacket guns
Seems the off switch never gets turned,
as the rumor mill continues to churn
Cranking out dubious scandal grade clothing ...
Reputation buyer beware
of public paucity for consumer scarce loathing

On that fateful day in November in '63,
is the day that the evil shadows laughed with glee,
immediately changing JFK's course of history,
Oswald being the CIA pawn patsy,
Warren Commission saying case closed,
dead man walking down hall time froze,
Zapruder's film showing different views,
of JFK's death whereas conspiracy bloomed,
Slowing film down makes you wonder,
magic bullet, book depository blunder,
eyewitnesses meeting unusual deaths,
the shadows lies creating a domino effect,
To this day I watch in horror the famous film,
the only evidence of JFK's assassination hewn,
the lies underneath lies still buried underground,
JFK's eternal flame still flickering on his mound.

Look! They resemble Rose buds in spring;
Though hearts run,souls are withering
Demented heads rest on skinny hands;
What dilemmas pinch little panicky minds.
Bring moments back how moms care;
Gruesome memories of explosions in air;
Charred corpse ,decaying stinky offals;
Here,eyewitnesses live for such scuffles.
Sudden fearful shrills in deep sleeps;
In memory of chums,silent weeps;
Little angles! you lodge in orphanage
Do not lose the tomorrow's courage;
WAR is a CURSE that effaces a race
Who lost all your childhood's grace!
