Long Badge of honor Poems

This is how it starts
the decline of who we are, the decline of something more
the start of wars
Installed in us is confidence
confidence, a blessing or a curse
Without confidence we stand degraded, disenchanted, alone
while with too...

GUARDIAN OF HAUTE-SAVOIE

At Pointe Percee, a dragon's lair:

A hotspot where no tourist stamps their passport.
The roar of dragon’s mating, females laying eggs.
Wings of rushing waterfalls, winds of alcoholic breath.
They yearn to take flight, to frighten...

This is a testament of time with a catchy little rhyme
A sign of all things that have come
The cracked dry wall calls with silence
It marks the final testing ground where I was found guilty
You sealed...

I guess this had to be said
The root causes for the way
I am kept awake at night 
Summer heat no sleep
My only companions are
Past events and the opinions
My soul resents. 

I guess it had to...

It starts with just one,
Just a small one,
A delicate pinkish shooting star
Chosen painstakingly from the flash on the wall
While a girl with blue hair and a nose ring
Watches disdainfully from behind the counter.

He wore his badge with honor and respect,
For twenty two years on the streets his duty he would never neglect.
Many a poor soul he gave a warning and a break,
And many had listened to the...

I enlisted into the Army to protect and to serve the USA,
The badge I wear, the uniform I share each and every day,
Is the symbol of a freedom, a democracy, a land,
To which I do...

I (despite Caucasian visage)
plus concomitant anatomical accouterments
immediately grant badge of honor
and status of greater worthiness,
when doggone truth
does not merit me

automatic immunity against racial profiling
nsync, where upon birth said black people
unfairly falsely labeled hooligan
disproportionately assumed accountable
regarding...

I reckon you could rightly say that I am from the old school,
But some of the politically correct stuff today, as a general rule,
Leaves me scratching my skull, baffled and so incredulous,
Groping for the proper...

An Accident


On August 20, 1963 I was on
The back of a motorcycle going slow
At a pace of ten miles an hour in front
Of a shopping center that bowed

The belly of the bow was a blind...

Shed blood, protection of innocence, a badge of honor
An oath was made
Defense of liberties and freedoms
Restrictions placed, standards no more
Chaos and anarchy knock at our doors
Forlorn morals; a time forgotten
Democracy is dead, the people have...

The Super Snow Moon lighted our bleeding hearts,
That we’re staging the National Arts Month in February;
It reminded us to the king like the powerful wolf 
Who defaced the rules of artistry
That he...

Here you go and you’re knocking on the door to my heart
So many things so say but I don’t know where to start
They say forgiveness cleans the darkest souls
But why do I have to forgive...

In the maze of life, we each find our way,
Custom battles, unique struggles, day by day.
No one can walk your path, it's yours to tread,
In the vast arena, where dreams are led.

Yes, you're meant to...

What breed is this?

Sage or Lunatic, 
Chess-Piece or Bard.
Do they see silver in the bloodstream, 
hearts pumping hard.
Turning lead to gold.
Re-frabricating a life lived hard.

Pieces of eight, to pay for a life of piracy?
Or innocense...

The heavens wore gray 
a blanket of clouds hovered 
ensuing a roiling interplay 
of sun and impending shower
wrestling for control of the sky.

I was feeling gleefully energized
brazen enough to dare the rain to fall,
command the...

A simple life is all I am wanting,
But the past can sometimes be painfully haunting.
Mistakes we make as we take life’s stroll,
Can later on be a stumbling block as we struggle to reach our goal.

The clanking sound of spurs, the sun’s glare
off the shiny doppelganger derringers.
Her hat tipped onto her sweating brow.

“Contests! We don’t need no stinking contests!”

She’s not your quintessential grandmother.

In the beginning his scars were small and not very deep
Originating at school his hazing began
This boy was bullied
He was changing and his friends didn't like...

Down from the mountains to the north,
Came a soldier, born and bred,
Seeking food and shelter,
And a warm and comfy bed.

His was a life of hardship.
It showed upon his face,
And in his eyes there gleamed a...

tomorrow you will speak
about a yesterday
and that is fine
today i will exclaim the best about
our yesterdays
but it only holds truth 
in tomorrow
so when we speak together
at the same words of mouth
i might be lost in...
