Long Chop down Poems

This is the only place where I can go when my heart burns and spirit muse in the desert and when the water is dried up from the stream, it is the only place I...

I saw a colonel in shadows arms dealing
I saw a chain of command red faced and reeling

I saw a disaster, the flight of the damned
I saw the wreckage strewn where it had slammed

I saw a...

Turning blind eyes
Toward the stark, bleak lights of tomorrow
Justice is blind! Justice is blind!
The only concern here is how to survive today
To get ahead of the game
Scarecrows in the cornfields
With guns in their drawers and...

Home is where you heart is,
That's what they say.
My home must be the forest;
My heart yearns for it every day.

Life, feeds on life.
Nature provides,
All that we'd ever need.
And what do we give in return?
We chop...

Come one and all, IT'S HALLOWEEN
WHOOP!
I sent Freddy to invite you to a bash
I see he's told you of it, sight unseen. 
With a wicked dream and a bloody gash
You've been sliced to smithereens!
AHHH!
So stumble...

All hold their own characteristics and are unique from one another
You can purchase them in original hunters green, pretty pink or innocent white
Whatever tickles your fancy for...

I got out my pipe and stuffed it with pot, 
You better believe, it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter and thumbed up a flame,
Then sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

Taken from their hands,
was the land they never visited.
Taken from the mind,
is the life they couldn't grasp
Imaginations were whisked away,
dreams dashed,
souls shattered.
Each kid forced to grow up, and use a broom. 
Taught to sweep up,...

Mother Earth, she weeps, but her tears are all in vain.
Men who seek profit and power will never feel guilt or shame.

What is happening to our world? Wake up and see what we have done.

Snow-clad slope, small clearing in the spruces,
green needles, grizzled white, frame this cabin
on a pitch skiers would salivate for,
the view reminiscent of Bierstadt.

Five mile walk to where I parked my truck,
take the snowmobile down but...

All them foreigners that move here
they always tell me that they've come 
To search for open spaces
‘cause cities made ‘em feel so numb

They came out here to Montana
to a place where they could feel free

Trees by the lane 
By the old road, few cars use stand two trees
the oldest one is leaning on the bough of the young on
Mother and daughter, I take it.
The old tree is blind, and...

Why all the hustle and bustle
and dashing through the snow?
Why bother writing greeting cards
or kiss under a mistletoe?

Why chop down a pine tree
and dress it with tinsel and lights?
What is the purpose of gift giving,
or...

Bruce the goose
got invited 
got excited

He believed
He received

...an invitation
from the nation

A city named Who's ville
What a thrill
is to be hardy
at a birthday party

Two-Time Deuce 
The recluse
Chop down the spruce 
Made it a cane
As he walk...

Women, take back the reigns of this jaded nest.
Guide it back to pristine.
Men are the weight - the final plague.
Gleaning oil and gold from everything that breathes.
Devouring the young for personal gain.
Chop down forests of...

The Evergreen Tree

Upon the tree, I set my sight,
And see, to my delight
(With head tilted up,
And hand shading eyes)
In the boughs
Sagging from the snow
Birds of various colours
Perched on the branches
Highlighted against the green
Under blue skies,
And...

Hell hath no fury like a woman with PMS.
It's that time of the month and I'm in distress.
I'm hiding in the bedroom and it's a good thing that the door is latched.
My wife poured a...

All the deer and the fish, the geese and bears
They are the proud people of the forest
When they are slowly killed off, no one cares
Because people think of them as a pest

They chop down their...
