One day seemingly out of nowhere
After my father's untimely passing
In the depths of my despair
Tortured crippled wailing praying daily
Blaming him for never stopping leaving
A miracle quite obviously too me occurred
As he must unto and through me
A one final last departing gift impaired
His ohh so defining voice and choice of words
That distinguished him so eloquently
Above and beyond the everyday norm
As at his feet , gaze and presence you reveled
Attentively into his knowledge and wisdom
And I being nothing like he unfortunately
Is the reason being why I have now
Come to believe that miracles do occur
Simply due to the very fact
I am hereby able now to write
What I am writing to you all about now
Because it wasn't an ability I possessed
Previously or at any point in my life
So the where and how it came from
To me is proof beyond a shadow of a doubt
That somehow or other through me
My father Gerard Vincent Flaherty
Is still very much a part and alive
In sprit and soul and relevant today
As that fateful tragic day he sadly passed away
And a miracle of miraculous proportion
Came to pass enabling a part of him to stay
Behind enveloping my mind
The Holocaust was a reminder to us…
besides being a most horrific crime…
that dark forces of evil and intolerance
have been flowing since the dawn of time.
If you want a sampling of how cruel and inhuman
we, who call ourselves human, can be…
I’ll be frank…watch Ken Burns’s ‘The U. S.
and the Holocaust’ and read Anne’s diary.
An innocent young child who, because of her religion,
faced unimaginable enmity and strife…
who never had the chance to grow old…
to have a long and happy life.
She was but one of millions of Jewish people
who, at the hands of the Nazis, died…
a crime so horrific it didn’t have a word to describe it…
it does not…genocide.
But as I watched Ken Burns ‘Holocaust’ and read Anne’s words…thinking no crimes have ever been as gruesome as these…
I began to wonder if there were other children in the world
who have written similar diaries.
Looking back on the history of humankind…
I imagine there are a few…
and as difficult as it would be to hear their words…
I think we need to read them too.
Other groups of humans
whose annihilation was in other human’s plans…
If these children had written diaries…
would their words be similar to Anne’s?
From Native Americans, Blacks, people of color, women
who have endured so much torture and pain…
to LGBTQ+ people all over the world
and most recently…the people of Ukraine.
There are times when the stream of evil begins to overflow its banks
and no matter how much we pray…
its waters rush in determined to eliminate
anyone who gets in their way.
When groups of people are signaled out…belittled…
made to feel different and small….
until more diaries our discovered…
Anne’s words must speak for them all.
Anne never got to finish her diary…
she died just before the end of the war….
but I imagine she wouldn’t mind if it was finished
with words from Eleanor…
Eleanor…who throughout it all…remained steadfast…
resolute and strong….
She said there can be no compromise at any point
with things that we know are wrong.
Perhaps one way to keep the stream of evil contained…
to keep it from overflowing its shore…
would be to watch Ken’s series
read through the pages of Anne’s diary…
and heed the words of Eleanor.
People loathe living in a filthy place.
Earth is a prone quagmire, for instance.
The legal maze hides some awful truth.
Painful to steer race and migrant sooth.
Ingenious ideas that people have evolved
Amid a verbal storm, feelings were dissolved.
Leaving a path of destruction in its wake.
There are countless dilemmas for its sake.
Moving forward in ways not intended to be!
They believe in someone who can foresee.
Confused over, how to stop the tragedy.
Panic crept throughout this desolate reality.
Implied temper versus stress and uneasiness.
Ceding way too cruel stones lewd devious.
Sunflowers incline and the streams slope.
Posterity fills the circle of wandering scope.
Have you at any point seen a lotus-filled pool?
Water dandles it, yet it is cautiously drool.
Lotus waddles, swim, and sinks in water.
Yet, water and lotus don't thud well together.
No drop of water connected to this sprouting.
Despite the birth in a mess and downpouring
Lotus offers us a feeling of profound calm.
Father, mother, kids act to the beat of a balm.
We should sustain progress toward nobility.
Our capacity to stay away from vile dubiety.
Be wary of voracity, connection, and power.
Avoid the node at all costs to empower.

On entering the afterlife, to be met by my father.
(Hopefully a long way off)
> Hello Dad, it has been many a year
You're looking well, since I looked at you last
Good job, you won't believe how much I'm scarred,
can't say the past few years have not been hard.
The burdens that I was prepared to take,
the sacrifices I have had to make.
I shan't deny you had it really rough,
but from my point of view it was quite tough,
child number three within your clutch of four
way down the pecking order, that's for sure.
Your last son was priority number one............
Such love you speak of never manifest
I felt alone, adrift, unlike the rest.
A fishing trip together, when I was small
the only day we had I can recall.
< I worked, but it took my good health at length
an industry that sapped my breath and strength
by fifty, there was no more I could do
the body of a man aged ninety-two.
If like some of your friends, you'd had it all
been mollycoddled , pampered, treated, spoiled
by adulthood it would have been too late
for you to come and step up to the plate.
The inner strength you have to go so far
is from your past, defining who you are.
I'm proud you somehow managed to get by,
now, come here, son- and let me dry your eye.

You ask whats wrong, Well nothing is right
I dont understand why I even bother to fight
I walk the halls with a smile on my face
Nobody understands the real things I face
He shot my hoodie and told me to die
He doesn't understand how many times I've tried
Always stopped
Always saved
I dont think he knows how much I am afraid
I fear being home
I fear being at school
I fear being on my lonesome at any point… it's cruel
It all started that say I said no
But no wasn't a word he wouldn't allow me to go
I begged and I pleaded for him to leave me alone
But every day he followed me home
I told the police I even went to the school
All they did was make me feel like an over-dramatic fool
They wont do a damn thing unless I really get hurt
They just keep saying it it is is some punk using some foul words.
I’ve come across the phrase
“If a tree falls when there’s no one there to hear it does it make a sound?”
Even if the trunk thuds to the ground, the echoes travel around to surround the remaining trees far into the woods.
Is it really any good?
Was there any point at all if there wasn’t anyone there to see its fall?
But if this is what makes sense in your head, then realistically, the same could be said about people.
Maybe people just wither away without cause to be missed.
If a person is born and lives their life as they wish, but does nothing to get remembered, have we really made them exist?
If there were only a few people who kept their memories alive till the day they died, their existence didn’t really survive for too long.
Perhaps there was never anywhere for them to truly belong.
So if you never do anything that catches a few strange looks or may end up in the history books, then you’ll soon be gone from the family’s narration in the next few generations, just another lost soul, one more forgotten face who never managed to find their place in this world.
Find somebody who will keep you at the top of their minds, who will get in a few stories about you sometimes, whether they be a new creation, a strange fascination, some kind words or your own eccentric spin on life, strive to be remembered by those that you loved.
Your friends,
Your family,
Your kin.
Die knowing that you always fought for what you believed in.
To everyone there is a human messiah
The one who can and will at any point let go of their desire
Just to see you fulfil your own desire
To everyone there is that special human being
Ready and always willing to sacrifice their last
Just to see you not coming last
The one who can and will at any time let go of their gold
Just to see you become gold
To everyone there is a super woman and a wonder woman
To everyone there is a mother!
And to me, you are the one maami - my wonder woman
Ever strong and resilient
Courageous and determined
Ever brilliant, intelligent and beautiful
Lucky and blessed I am to have you as my mother
Forever shall I cherish, love and care for you
This is just my own way of celebrating you on this day
Which is your birthday
Happy birthday Maami ??????

I'm saving for the least important things
and haven't got a clue
While living for the things more shallow
and hoping to find new
I've taken more vacations now
than any point of view
and haven't got an inkling
as to how I'm going to do
I question why so many fight
for what is best for you
When peace means leaving things alone
will never be at due
I travel round the world cause
to help the kangaroo
Ignoring all the people drunk
I party with for two
I take myself as loyal
for the people nice to coo
And wonder what I'd do without
their love to keep me mew
I only hope the day will come
when everyone has fun
And worry that my life's run down
when others spoil my run
I hope and pray like all the rest
that never seem to end
That I one day will stop and say
exaustion's never lend
I kept you at arm's length don"t know why I thought that you might know me
Just another branch broken in a thunder storm of my life's tree
No one thinks to actually talk, so lost is what it will be
I am used to hitting restart more times than justifiably
At any point, you could have communicated decidedly
I would have listened just as I waited many a time for thee
I forgave more times that most would have given you quite honestly
But running is easier than seeing truth confidingly
I made mistakes to which I would have atone for them completely
May you spend the rest of your life seeking a replacement for me
