imagine
an economy shaky with the pandemic ravishing the lands
storms more fascinating and reckless than before
small portions of the nation divided
while additional terrorist groups form throughout the country
as the rest choose to fight together
bestowing respect for one another's opinion
politics put to the side
we are first protectors of the land
fully aware it's impossible to create more territory
leaving the majority standing as one
visionaries working in an empathetic sync
for a country no longer recognizable
accepting the way of life we once knew vanished

By Ezar The Last Street Poet
What seeker can see what I have seen prophetic dreams
Shot gun houses torn screens safe houses triple beems
Escorts giving me bags of cream emaculent things
Strip club champaign and hot wings
Five star suites ninth floor west wing
Limo cruise mountain views street cries we never snooze
Make eiligent moves C.E.O watch stock news
Minaj mulatto that love to swallow till Iam hollow
Poetically unstoppable impossible to follow
Every since 96 when I had Mexican chicks model
Mad love to Greenville Seattle and Chicago
Forward full throttle with a dime peace coke bottle
Your comments are shallow
So who the hell cares investment clubs
Master mind affairs
Relaxing on madagascan chairs
Ambition plus persistence through resistance equals evidence
That I own a couple businesses
speak to open the eyes of those who seek understanding bleek
Blind to the shine that I release falling on your face instead of standing on yo feet
PEACE
Lora’s tandem pilot is Corrine Hall,
But she originally knew Fiona Duncan,
In the speedy sport of para-cycling,
And was born on 4th September 1998.
She picked up this discipline by team,
In 2009, when she joined TeamGB, real,
And won a silver at the 2011 UCI Worlds,
And so was selected for the 2012 Paras.
There she came in fourth for the B kilo,
And also for the tandem B pursuit track,
And then seventh place in the road race,
And eighth in the time trial: she did well.
In 2013 at the UCI Worlds in Canada,
Lora and Corrine both won the silver,
But beat that win with a gold, time trial,
Which took her right to the USA Worlds.
In Greenville she had a bronze catch,
In the tandem B time trial round n’ round,
But topped that again with a gold medal,
In the tandem B road race, they grinned.
In 2016 at the UCI Worlds, Montichiari,
Lora won the bronze in the B pursuit.
In Rio she won gold for the individual:
“I can't thank [mum and dad] enough.”
Her two brothers as well as her mum,
Suffer from this hereditary sight loss,
But immediately after winning at Rio,
She was planning her wedding event.
Good Neighbor Rick's Labrador Dog
They were kidding by saying Rick was a road hog
And you should be sure to see his adorable dog
Searching up and then down street everywhere
With pounds of superb energy always to spare.
Rick's leaving to see a ECU game today
While his delirious dog would only get in the way
So being nice next door neighbor I have been
His back door by him was unlocked to let me in.
Of course you know for something like goodness sack
I will have to take dastardly dog out for a potty break
And how he does things has certain way and style
Of running here and there for quite a long while.
Improperly out to pasture, dog will end up putting me
Now that I am all tired and worn out as can be;
For me, many more surprises Rick's dog has in store
Which I learned is why they call him a lovely Labrador.
Not sure if he is a she or she is a he or maybe a banshee
hehe. Or for that matter, what dog's name is either.
ECU is East Carolina University in Greenville, NC I think.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
A dirty old sidewalk
runs in front of grandma's house
with bumps and cracks from the roots
of ancient white-oak
Armed with cane poles and sack lunches
crickets and freshly dug earth worms
we meander down to the levee
barefoot in careless summers
One low spot beneath
a straggly Chinaberry
filled with pitch-black delta dirt
washed in by summer rains
We shuffle through and dig down
cooling our toes
Southern Airways Flight 932
November 14, the night they flew
McDonnell Douglas DC-9
Like all flights, they should be fine
On the return home
They clipped some tree's
The final run
From Greenville,NC
37 players
In all, 75
From this tragedy
None survived
This Thundering Herd
Taken in their prime
Coaches and others
Before their time
But We Are Marshall
Would rise again
To take away
This terrible pain
From a point of closure
They reunite
To carry the lost
In their football right
Jack Lengyel
Appointed coach
With Red Dawson
Through Dedmans approach
Young Thundering Herd
First game lost
29 - 6
Experience cost
First post win
Against Xavier
15 - 13
Calms despair
In 1974
Jack Lengyel leaves
But, We Are Marshall
We quietly grieve
" Dedicated to the Thundering Herd Football Team from Marshall University-West Virginia
and Mr Arthur D. Schwarz, a fervent football fan "
