His last thoughts
Dedicated to George Stinney Jr
The mind of a child
Is one supposed to be filled with innocence
But his was clouded with fear
Barely out of the womb
And already he would be buried in a tomb
He barely had time to start life
Barely had time to love and be loved
He barely had time to be a

ENCOUNTER WITH GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
War is endless
The Winters harsh
Soldiers are dying
Food and Water scarcity
How much longer are the Solders to bare
Freedom and opposition take time and endurance
The Solders are embattled in their own physical survival
Tears pour in how long?
All for war that will not get any better
One by one the Solders are falling
Like Ten Little Indians and there

Dieu Et Mon Droit
"Oh King Charles Philip Arthur George,
how do I see thee?
Let me count the ways...
Tho' beauty is only skin deep,
and in the eye of the beholder,
or so we have been told,
yours is more, it goes to the bone,
a sore sight for eyes to behold,
now you have acceded to the throne.
As, like diarrhoea, it seems,
it runs in

George Wendt To Heaven
George Wendt to Heaven when he died.
He was talented and that can't be denied.
George Wendt to a bar where everybody knew his name.
Now that he's dead, Hollywood will never be the same.
George Wendt to Heaven and the angels started to cheer.
But his friends, family and fans are sad and shedding tears.
George gave a terrific performance

Care Beyond George Floyd
Four years before George Floyd met death
Tony Timpa drew his last breath
A cop pressed a knee into his back too
Tony cried warnings, the warnings were true.
Tony was white, George was black
A knee in Tony's back wasn't a racist attack
In neither case, was killing sought
It was a bad police tactic, that cops were taught.
If we talk

Banned Book Club VII- 1984
Midtone grey surrounds what’s left of a man’s soul
Scenes of biblical abominations troll
Inky are the hellish horizons appalled
An okay is needed for anything at all
Manipulating truth determines your life
Erasing individuality is part of your strife
Robotic neurotic, emotionless choice, nary a voice
Force proles controlling every movement
A new history engraves the stone 'tis
