IN THE WILD

Early morning, we go for a drive,
An awesome feeling as we arrive,
At our camp gate which, opens 
At 6 o’clock, 
Now we are in the African bush
Which, will unlock,
Moments that we have missed...

Early one morning, we begin our drive,
An awesome feeling as we arrive,
At our camp gate which, opens 
At six o’clock, 
Now we are in the African bush
Which, will unlock,
Moments that...

THE BUG BITES –AGAIN!

We begin to get restless,
And know that feeling
The one when our heads
Start reeling!
It’s time to visit the Kruger Park,
Although sparse rain, and
The bush will be stark!
Adrenalin starts pumping,
And hearts thumping,
We arrive 4...

This is the best beer I've ever had. 
Yes, The best beer I've ever had. 
No beer is really bad, but 
This is the best beer I’ve ever had. 
 
Beer’s invention was accidental I’m told. 
Something about stored grain...

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling

than watching cabaret
January twenty first two thousand
twenty one marks his first full...

The silence of morn makes this place forlorn
in the fields, the hillsides, and trenches.
Over two hundred years since the bloodshed and fear,
yet you can hear the yells, smell the stenches.
The crush of the blue, charging...

I step outside to get some air
upon the ship’s fine teakwood deck,
the North Atlantic air bites deep,
I raise my collar ’round my neck.

Remind myself that it’s April,
and that it must be near midnight,
the long bow...

The Sun was drowsing quietly,
Once upon a century, 
Mister Ocean calm but afraid, 
She was far but had a selected destiny. 

The ship was named unsinkable, 
She was the biggest ship ever, 
On those times,...

Nor the eager of the heart can minimize the terror
Whether born brave the sound of love weakens the bolds
Whether regarded vicious the aim to win often fail

I see in the world, still today hate, racism, and discrimination.
We're supposed to work together under one nation.
I'll never understand how people can judge by skin color, orientation, or beliefs.
I hope one day everyone that...

ANOTHER TITANIC

A wounded ship.
A worried crew.
Frightened  passengers.
No way out.

A frightened herd
stumbling about,
panic in their eyes,
panic in their hearts.

Four musicians stand alone.
watching as the disaster rolls.
“Play something lively.” the leader calls,
“A tune we played before...

Life is cheap,
My lifetime taught
At first I cared
I even fought
I railed against
The powers that be
And tugged my chain
Of liberty

The word is out:
We all succumb
The wise, the great
The deaf and dumb
We’re in for it
That final swing
You...

Taking me to places I have never been to
Loving me like a brother while caring...

Rests the rusting hulk of the 'unsinkable' ship Titanic!

A bandaged broken heart heaps more agony upon emotions and hurt feelings
carelessly tossed away in a wastebasket of ignorance and ill willed 
stubborness...

A kiss upon lips clammy cold and with a heart carved as out...
