Harms Poems

In Harms Way 1972

sunrise in the south china sea
half way between subic and yankee station
i am still in awe 
of how something as big as this boat
with all of the stuff on board, floats
and yet, of how small we are compared to the sea and ocean
there will be little change in the scenery, 
horizon to horizon ocean, sun

Lamenting Harms

LAMENTING HARMS

I am passionate in regardless requiem
I dress ridged and deploring
I need shed tears for my sorrow I bewail and bemoan
I am related to elegy
I vacation at the cemetery
My job is lamentation writing up funeral chant a burial hymn
I desire to sing at my passing in heaven

How Gambling Haram Harms

Our religion forbids all 
games of chance guys
We ain't allowed to 
indulge in that harmful 
enterprise
But no one can claim that 
gambling is at all wise

To more has gambling 
brought much misery 
and misfortune
Trying your luck that 
way brings bad luck to 
this money goon! 

So goes without saying, 
no need of elaborating
that harmful and

      I went as a caregiver to make everything right.
I straighten her world to be just as mine.
      The house was a radiance of modern time and the landscaped intensified.
She came home and was

The Coat of Harms

A owl perched on a silvery shield
Flanked by two stallions with bullet riddled chest.
Bloods dripping on a earth of cactus,
And a motto which reads:
"Unity personified, and Hatred disguised."

On this shield once an eagle stood,
Which bore the meeting point of two great rivers
And the two gallant stallions once bubbling with soul
And the earth was green with

In Harms Way

Their mission at hand , can't be defined,
sent far away leaving loved ones behind.

Streets patrolled every minute of the day,
a land of bloodshed, a society in disarray.

Killed or wounded the reports come in,
as more are recruited, and trained to defend.

Tears keep falling every minute of the day,
as families bow their heads to pray.

A wise woman

Petty Harms, Easy Deeds

oh sweet, sweet mutilation
i feel for the ones that know not your ways
carried in throngs of masochism
you need not know of the devil to know easy deeds

cut, slice, wash petty harms
some new kind of knowledge through some kind of lust
cry, sweat, piss pretty waste
there's no truer art than the art of outraged disgust

i'll haunt for
