Hand-to-hand we pass things on,
Elders leave long lasting memories
Imagining future generations nurturing the family bonds.
Records kept meticulously as history
Living long with ancestral pride.
Offspring valuing roots and heritage.
Official milestones as well as questionable stories
Marking time in the continuity of life.

Scents of sea, historical townships and seafood
Thrilled like vacations not just a dinner destination.
Each trip to Chesapeake Bay staid that fine mood.
As we rode, my family's blend got on its finest silly
Making jokes, singing, bro and I loved Dad’s riddles.
Eyes all turned somber passing the barn site where
Destiny once heard JW Booth say, ‘useless, useless ...’
Crackers, hammers, picks, butter sat on brown paper with
Randomly scattered crabs piled high excited my family.
Although not novices, Dad would inspect our dissects,
Brag to Moma about how strong his shellfish genes
Swam, huh?
Nations split the atom
Unleashing impending doom
China stockpiles munitions
London rings europe's bell
Europe prepares for the inevitable carnage
America plants silos in the midwest
Russian bells are tolling
Kremlin halls are glowing
Nuclear war can be won
Under the right conditions
Contrary to what peace geeks think
Knights of freedom must rise
Let loose the lightning
Echo the shattering thunder
Holocausts and hellhounds
Embers will reign
Ash will choke the skies
Dust is but our destiny
Send them all straight to hell
Peacefully playing
Indigo notes
Angelic mood swaying
***** spiritual hope
Onyx facts history black
“Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.”
Lana Del Rey
Happiness with peace for the masses comes sporadically,
And at times it feels like periods of great prosperity or
Long-lasting peace has come not often throughout history.
Changes in politics or times of trouble or war
Yank away the good times causing for many stress or tragedy.
Oh, how I long for the ‘80’s. Down came a mighty wall!
No recent decade can match it, and I was having a ball!
Audacious
Unbeatable
Daring
Rueful
Affable
(Dedicated to Audra, in "Words on Fire" by Jennifer A. Nielsen)
We have come to a point in
Our history where we no longer have the ability,
Rather, the commitment to see things for what they are,
Desiring what can be imagined in our minds,
Singularly unburdened by the truth,
And disregarding what has been a proven
Lapse in judgment, and then to assert confidently, with
Artifice, and in so doing, make the unthinkable possible,
Doomed to repeat what actually happened before.
A recent quote from Kamala Harris
The passengers set sail in the sun
Roaming the decks and dining inside
And there was joy in every single heart
Gliding out into the ocean and cold waters
Everything was new and never used before
Doom embraced the ship when it hit an iceberg
Years ago, a catastrophe still heartbreaking to fathom

At the remote crossroads of Central and South Asia
Fostering pre-history vestiges as landlocked country
Gathered the dust of the famous ancient silk route
Hibernated long in the cauldron of tribal ethnicity
Assimilating deeply the Islamic culture and customs
Never compromised with personal freedom concept
In spite of the drag of poverty plunging people in abyss
Subservient spectators of numerous military campaigns
Turning the land into tormented target of geopolitics
All crusades crumbled in inhospitable hostile terrain
Not untruly it is nicknamed “graveyard of empires”.

Political expedience at the fork of the road is best 'not taken'.
Often, such a choice is enameled with deceit and self-interest.
Wars, especially civil wars, do not settle the causes of the conflict.
Divisions and conflicting ideologies persist like a simmering powder keg.
Every effort should be exhausted in order to disallow each volatile situation.
Reckless disregard for history is a breathing ground for chaos and confusion.
Keeping the Peace, though never cheap, is far more cost effective than war.
Elections in some places are believed to be fraught with fraudulent returns.
Generations prior, through trust in God and proven principles, found a way for political civility.

I guess he did his job
Master of the American mob
President of the narcissistic
Ego quite sad demented
And scripture predicted
Childlike leader demon
He who would make us great again.

Glasnost, unmuted voice, long overdue
Once Berlin Walls and Iron Curtains fell,
Regime of old school fools he overthrew
Brave Afghan Soviet troops still live to tell.
Achieved social democracy at last,
Cold war, diplomatically, put to rest.
Hard wired propaganda of the past -
Exculpated lies of Wicked Wild West.
Victorious legacy earned at his best.

Life on Earth is riddled with mysteries,
Including massive monuments of stone;
Fashioned before recorded histories.
Evidently, early Man wasn't alone,
Some stones can not be moved, even today.
Many maintain that aliens came here
Years ago, to visit; but they didn't stay.
Scientists suggest evidence is clear;
Technologies unknown today were used.
Early Man's mega-sites fill us with awe,
Requiring us to admit, we're confused.
In Man's ancient past, He sketched what He saw;
Etchings of strange star beings He called Gods,
Some resemble spacemen; what are the odds?
JUNTEENTH ANTHEM
Justice without prejudice we pray,
Unsung heroes paved the way.
No cross, no crown, cries sing from the ground,
We can still hear them singing now today.
Every trail of blood that made our history,
Today bookmarks the end of their misery,
No pain, no pride, our scars can’t hide,
Our song a forever symphony.
Often one will have ideas that run counter to the ideas of others
Passions about our way of thinking can be upsetting or even offensive
Individuals should express themselves without being intentionally hurtful
Nothing says our opinions are right if they are not based on eternal truths
If we are right and our cause is righteous, our opinions will stand the test of time
Opportunity knocks for the implementation of change and reconsideration
Never be so stubborn as to retain ideas whose time has come and gone
Sever ties with those blinded by hate and bent on destroying time-tested principles
