The Magic Cat Merlin

    Marvellous! The magic cat Merlin
    Imported from the city Berlin.
    Behaviour typical feline,
    owned by my niece Carolyn.

   She steps slow silent lifting paw,
   but as she needs attention to draw
   only raises soft voice meow.
   She loves to taste cooked fish-meat not raw.

  The magic cat Merlin! Marvellous.
  Favourite of Carolyn oblivious.
  The cat behaves always curious.
   She ignores rats not being furious.

   House of Carolyn is free of rats.
   Those are driven by presence of cat.
   Facing rat, Merlin acts as acrobat 
   but never hits, only gently pats.
   
   Merlin performs this wonderful magic.
   Cool calm nature is simply unique. 
   Rats are afraid: But end not tragic.
   Events turning dramatic or comic.

Walls Poems For Poem a Thon 2018

April 2 Walls

Trump wants a wall
Between America and Mexico

A wall against the southern hordes
A wall based on fear and hate

A wall to make America safe
A wall to make America great again

And yet I wonder 
Will his wall fall

Like the Berlin wall
And the great wall 

And all the other walls
They all failed
All of them 

Walls divide us
Walls make us 
Into different tribes

Between the pure 
And the impure 

St Reagan
Said Tear Down this Wall

Will future Presidents
Tear down this begotten wall

Or will it become a tourist attraction
Another great wall 
Against barbarian hordes

 
April 2 Trump’s Wall Against Reason
The President wants to build a wall
Against the southern hordes
Another great wall
To keep the barbarians out

He wants to build a wall
Against reason
Against science
Against the modern world

Hiding behind the wall
On the southern border

Desperately trying to keep them out
The unwashed masses
The undocumented
The illegals

Streaming across the border
Seeking to wreck the pure land
Murderous hordes 
Rapists, drug dealers

Coming to take our land over
As he stands on the border
Trying to stop the hordes himself
 
April 2 It Has Been Done Before

Before Trump’s Wall
There were many other walls

The Berlin Wall
The Great Wall
Hadrian’s Wall

All the walls of the ancient world
All failed 
To keep the enemies out

The enemies of freedom
The enemies of the state
Still came across the border
To loot, steal, rape and plunder

And nothing could stop
The flood of history
 
April 2 Walls Divide Us 

In Modern America 
We all live in gated communities
Trying desperately to keep them out

Out of sight
Out of mind
And out of our lives
 
And yet we fail 
Fail to accept the others
Are human beings 
Are our fellow creatures

As we wall ourselves off
Into our separate communities

We loose our humanity
And we loose our selves

As we hide in our walls
Hide in our bubbles

 
April 2 Mr. Trump

Please tear down this wall
Please open up your heart
Please stop this madness

We are all Americans
We are all one people
And your wall 
Will not stop us
From becoming one people

Please tear down this wall
Please build bridges to the future
Please open your heart
And let the love shine through

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz,
at moments like these
I feel weak at the knees.
I've developed a wheeze,
and my poor head is aching.

Señorita Ruiz,
my tongue starts to seize,
my brain turns to cheese,
my confidence flees,
and I'm yours for the taking!

Alicia Ruiz,
run away with me, please!
Choose Berlin, or Belize -
I'm not shooting the breeze -
When the chance occurs, take it!

La Bonita Ruiz,
Jumping jiminy jeeze!
We're as like as two peas.
Though it may be a squeeze,
I believe we can make it!

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz,
Oh, don't be a tease!
We can sail the high seas
(I'll take care of the fees)
All I ask, a few kisses.

Miss A.R. Ruiz,
Dot the i's, cross the t's.
I am offering the keys:
do what duty decrees:
change your status to Missus.

You frown with disapproval since you have a pedigree.
Born in the USA, you say, ancestors crossed the sea.

Proud of your German heritage, and I am just a hick.
Your phony pearls, your knock-off bag, you always look real slick.

You treat me like I'm nothing with your nose turned up so far.
I'd rent that space if in the need of a place to park my car.

But a shiny cover does not value always quite equate.
I'm sure your "antique" silverware is only silver plate.

No, value comes from something more that's hidden deep inside.
It's born of love and empathy, not silly, baseless pride.

It doesn't come in just one color, an accent or a creed
Hitler was rich but I'd rather come from Cesar Chavez' seed!

So I'd rather have an ice cold beer with a gifted Mexican
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafes of Berlin!

Premium Member West Berlin

In 1989 I rode the duty train with covered windows across the East German countryside, forewarned not to look outside.  I arrived in that island of freedom, which was surrounded by oppression, tyranny, and more tank divisions than NATO had in all their armies combined.  Kids were hammering pieces off the Wall and giving them to tourists; I pocketed a few a boy gave me. Passing through Checkpoint Charlie, I saw my first live Russian soldiers, guarding their monuments from what they referred to as the Great Patriotic War.  Their goosestep style of marching was slower than the Nazis from forty-five years before, but just as menacing in its precision--perhaps even more so, with that arrogant hesitation when their boots reached the highest point.  Before seeing East Berlin, communism and socialism were just words with an uneasy threat implied....but afterwards

The Wall had come down,
But the Russians were still there.
Lost in history.

 ( Lyrics by Queen )
    Teo torriatte konomama iko
    Aisuruhito yo
    Shizukana yoi ni, Hikario tomoshi
    Itoshiki oshieo idaki

    Let us cling together as the years go by
    Oh my love, my love
    In the quiet of the night
    Let our candle always burn
    Let us never lose the lessons we have learned

Are our lessons learnt, time will tell
Berlin Wall, barriers fell
Is it a start, or a start to come
Is this race always on the run
We need to look and look around
No more we hear that whistling sound
It's seems to be a more silent kill
Typical Human, in it's typical will

April 4 Changes

I reflect upon my life
As the sun comes up

What could I have changed
What would I have changed

If I could go back in time
What would I tell my earlier self

What would I do differently
And what have I learned

The one thing
that I would not have changed
is meeting the women of my dreams

the chance meeting on a bus
that changed everything
in a moment

I met my fate
That day on the bus

And that is the end of the story
 
April 5 Facing Life’s Challenges Together

Woke up at 0 dark hundred
Vowing to boldly go forth
And face the challenges of the future
Without fear

Knowing that I have you there
Makes all the difference in the world
As we meet our fate

Together
Until the day we die

"Get high on yourself baby
You
The revolution"

It wasn’t Reagan chirping away
That brought down the Berlin Wall
It was Nina Hagen brawling like a sprung spider
From a death crack in the wall

She understood its graffitied brick and steel
Was but a trembling empty web
Before the CIA ever did

She
A wound-up special weapon of orange and green wired hair
"Born from Xixax"
Safety pins looped through her ear lobes
Pull! Throw!

Clamped hair to her armpits tattooed eyelids of Ra
Rants like Linda Blair rising from her bed
To the ceiling
Half a sentence growled German the other harmonic English
Demon angel of Opera Punk and Gospel

Guttural laughs
Lunatic bass synthesizers and guitars

Wishes Mr. Brezhnev a happy birthday reunion from the junkie "UFOs
Who did it
The Holy Spirit"
And "Hans Hans" her lover her anti-christ her double agent
Conjuring LA earthquakes 
And her baby daughter to the sun-beamed dust balconies of Mars

The Stasi didn’t know what to do with her
The prophet the chosen one
But to kick her out to the other side
With a good luck to you all
Over there in West Berlin and New York City

It wasn’t an old man with nuclear tips
Who changed the world
But an outrageous young singer anarchist
A barbed wire flower with a forked tongue

Who did not demand to be free
Because
She was
Already free

That’s when the wall came down and communism collapsed.

I never heard of Tariff until recently

For those who liberate the caged bird, 
They also liberate themselves.
Individuals who instigate conflict for,
 Monetary benefits will ultimately undergo reformation in due course.
History often repeats itself many times,
 Yet some individuals fail to heed their warnings.
The Great Wall of China, was damaged by workers
As they were trying to make shortcuts to get to the other side.
The Trojan Horse was constructed with strategic thinking. 
Similarly, the Berlin Wall was built as a barrier.
Today marks a competitive phase between
Temu and Shein are notable entities in the clothing industry.
 It remains to be seen if they will address the challenges and opportunities within the sector effectively.
The term "Tariff" has become familiar to me over the past few months.
Shall we worry about them; shall we give in? shall we seek solutions?
Only divine wisdom can guide us during challenging times.
For those who liberate the caged bird, 
They also liberate themselves.
