They Fought for Their Country They Fought to Make
It Free
But Where Did They End up Not the Place They Expected To Be
They Fought for Their Country with All Their Strength And Might
But Where Did They End up Homeless and Living
On the Streets at Night
They Fought for Their Country for a Better Future
And Life
But Where

War Fought In The Shadows
The War Fought in The Shadows
It’s one that little spoken of
Many are the lives we’ve lost
Many are the Valliant soldiers
Who soldier on in the Gods abode
They have made Genna their home
It was and still is a strive against evil
Institutionalized evil whatever its form
Is Our sworn enemy with “The Liberation”
Of the Umma and ignorant Masses..
Our ultimate

WARTIME OF PEACE
Peaceful battles fought
With no enemy aside,
Friends you trust never.
Wartime of peace
Moments of joyous sorrow:
Jolt of the mire.
A race for life,
A ring with no boxers,
Bout of no sense.
Wartime of peace
Is a seasonal murder:-
No foes in sight.

The Tale of the Hero That Fought the Furies

Where their fury demands its own fullness
They stink of pain and death, long blacken wings"
Their tormenting stings pure hell nothing less."" -- RJL quote-1973

The War With In Pts
She was his devoted and loving wife and then came those pitiful, anguished nights..
She counted the cries, the bruising and prayed for an end to his confusion.
His night frights that she was observing had become quite unnerving..
In their bed he lay restless, squirming, what he saw was deeply disturbing..
Pillows punched and flattened

Lasting Peace
LASTING PEACE
When we face the fiery trials of life,
We wonder when shall be the end of strife.
In God's army we have daily fought,
Yet in our hearts for lasting peace we've sought.
We long so much for what God has promised us,
And hope that we are quickly learning trust
In our God who made and bought our soul.
We

What I Ought Is Fought and Fought
Am doing what I should and ought;
Temptation off fought and fought;
Which is what I must always do;
Trouble was through and through.
In changing times remember me,
While God does set my soul free;
Though have been dying inside,
May have many things to hide.
My precious memories still persist;
Will add many more to my long list;
Was comprised of anguish and

Why Did You Part With Bonaparte
Denying us a reply
Does many faults imply:
That you do wrong routes ply
And don’t knowledge supply…
Is it about bundles
He lazily trundles:
Appointments he had missed
But remorselessly hissed?
Was it that he had fought
And more Bloodletting sought
Or the way he chuckles
While watching Who Suckles?
Starve me you do response
And self in chair ensconce;
On words playing for puns…
Like Gone Simon

Born the same year as Back To The Future

Zeus Fought For Picnicking Rights
Zeus fought the elves and the gargoyles for Stonehenge picnicking rights
Stonehenge laughed at this, thinking Zeus was insane
And of course he might have been but who in their right mind
will tell that to a god?
Even if it is a little god
not the big one.

Maybe It's My Fought
Maybe it's my fought
That I trusted wind so much
Only to blow away my grains
Maybe it's my fought

Only to rotten my crops
Maybe it's my fought
Watered withered plant
Thinking they would blossom
Maybe it's my fought
That I fought with destiny
But fate was no merciful

I'Ve Fought Against My Deepest Fears
I've fought against my deepest fears
and burned from silent dusk to dawn
my deepest fears did render me blind
how could I not call on The Divine?
I've fought against my deepest fears
and found great strength in humility
I glued my eyes to scenes past and present
that paved the way for me to repent.
I've fought against my deepest fears
and

Fool Who Had Fought a Duel
we had found a fool
was willing to fight a duel
learn how went to school
many classes took
he would read book after book
beside babbling brook
if ever in doubt
unsure what it was about
had taken wrong route
when we heard some say
he will always go astray
he did die one day
is no longer here
after he would disappear
wife shed one more tear

Important To Us
You're only going away for a little while,
Sadness has already settled in my soul.
I'll wait for you for as long as I can,
This is the logic of simple things.
If it means a lot to you,
I will write to you every day.
And I wish you good luck,
Wipe the shadow from your face.
I really want you to
