"Eric's First Fundamental Theorem of Love"
by: Eric L. Boddie
One plus one equals one
Can this truly be
If so, then it is also true
That one plus one equals three
For there is your Soul, then there is mine
Two lives brought together by fate
And, in the creation of Love, we become one
Unless, by chance or design, we Procreate
Thus, three derives from one
The one created from the union of two
Man, woman and child
Creating another one because a family grew
All because this man
Vigorously desired to date you
Girl, don't you understand
Just how much I negative hate you
Which was proven by induction
For we experienced much frustration
And now, all that is left
Is for us to balance this equation
It is very difficult to envision
The savior
Who will he be ?
When will he come
What color will he be
Height, weight ?
What religion will he be ?
Will he be all that we hoped for
What language will he speak
Will he care who and what we are
Or where we came from will he care about money
Or will he, be a she or neither
What will he do to stop the killing
What can he possibly say that hasn’t already been said
It is very hard to fathom
Have we become so cold
Death and violence are everywhere
That is the cold hard fact, no one is immune
We are a race, running to win the race of survival
A breed, a predator with knowledge
A desperate mass with no focus
A greed driven, power hungry propelled
Adrenaline injected mass of unpredictable prime evil rage
Enveloped in a brainwashed chassis
Ironic how we measure honor, in gallons of blood
At the expense of our own, paying the bill
Unfortunately, we are at our best in the throws of rage
When we are seeking justice for wrongs done to us
If you’ve ever looked, I mean really looked at the violence
Daily !
You realize that you’ve become immune to it
Like a childhood disease
Only affected if it interrupts your life
Terminal, death……..and then the cycle begins again
Destruction's passion stimulated for revenge
Of the wrongdoings done them
Never ending self-service of eternities nocturnal rest
Whether forced or natural, it’s coming, be ready
Eric (and sometimes not)
We all sin
I sin
You sin
Everyone is a sinner
A sin is a sin is a sin
There’s no way to win
Your actually guilty before you begin
So how do you actually get a reprieve?
To acquire the salvation
You wish to receive
The game is rigged
And not in your favor
What depravity may I offer you?
What’s your flavor?
Many choices to be had
Mix and match your wickedness
Custom made immorality for the mad
Smoke, drink, inject and snort
Can I have some more? Is the retort
Mind numbing at it’s best
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme,
No time to rest
Gotta get high
I must confess
My blanket
My shield
My sanctuary
Sobriety is quite contrary
To my goal
Of being numb, dumb, and resistant to succumb
So, don’t bother trying to save me you fool
The drugs are my tool
And reality is my school
Follow the line of the diseased mind
You may find it to be kind
If not, a monotonous grind
Welcome to the cognitive bind
Eric (and sometimes not)
Headline News Hypocrisy
"If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store,
at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!" Maxine Waters
Main Stream Media “She is such a dynamic leader.”
“I’d like to take Trump out behind the gym and kick his ****!” Joe Biden
Main Stream Media “You tell’em Joe.”
“We can’t be civil until we are back in charge again!” Hilary Clinton
Main Stream media “She should have been President.”
“When they go low, kick them!” Eric Holder
Main Stream Media “They deserve it.”
“Get up in the face of some congress people!” Corey Booker
Main Stream Media “You go Spartacus.”
“Make America great again!” Donald Trump.
Main Stream Media “Man, that guy is so hateful, always promoting violence”
Ok, I am sorry for this but it is infuriating me and the main stream media is the enemy of the people. Stop reading me if you like because of this
but it is every day and has been for the past two years. What really gets me is people act like they don’t see it or feel that it is okay.
Whether you like the guy or not, this is just too much. I have seen numerous poems on this site trashing the President of the United States.
Everyday there are more. I mean really? Yes, I agree he’s not the nicest guy in the world. He shoots his mouth off too much but he is doing something,
Which is more than I can say for any other President, Democrat or Republican. He works hard and that is what scares these other politicians.
They look at politics as a job where they don’t have to do anything except sit around all day arguing with each other. They are scared to death of work.
Tim Smith just posted a poem about Kindness…everyone should read it. Why can’t everyone just be kind to one another? Yeah, I know…stupid question.
The headline this morning on MSN read: "Pittsburgh mourns synagogue shooting victims as protestors await Trump." Did we really need the last part of that headline?
Can’t they let these people and the country mourn in peace? Why do they always have to stir up crap? Why didn’t they just write, Pittsburgh mourns synagogue shooting victims and we still hate Trump?
What a sad spectacle
seeing hordes of people
amid riots
breaking into
department stores
and destroying businesses
just to loot them.
Stop the looting!
Hands off the merchandise!
How is it justice
for George Floyd?
for Eric Garner?
for Michael Brown, Jr?
for Tamir Rice?
for Freddy Gray?
for any future Black victim
of police brutality?
What makes you
any different from those
you supposed to be
protesting against?
Stay home if you'd rather
loot stores than riot
peacefully.
Shame on you
for dishonoring
the memory of those
you should be
protesting for.
If you truly cared about
representing the families
of victims who died
at the hands of corrupt cops
you wouldn't be
showing up just to loot.
Shame on you
for trying to undo
the movement
for positive change.
If your intention
isn't to contribute
to that change, stay indoors.
By all means, protest
without breaking any laws.
But when you loot, you give
peaceful protesters
demanding justice
a bad name!
You are not helping!
Join the movement
for positive change, if not,
please, stay home!
Stop the looting!
Hands off the merchandise!
How is it justice
for George Floyd?
for Eric Garner?
for Michael Brown, Jr?
for Tamir Rice?
for Freddy Gray?
for any future Black victim
of police brutality?
Stop committing a crime
while railing against criminals
for crying out loud!

Every time day turns to night
I long to have you in my sight
And every time night turns to day
I long to be in your arms where you lay
And just as the sunshine turns to rain
I feel you can wash away all my pain
And just as the rain turns to sunshine
I feel you can brighten this lonely heart of mine
And as today becomes tomorrow
Wherever you lead, I’m sure to follow
And as tomorrow becomes today
Wherever you wind up is where I’ll stay
And while the A before M changes to P
I want you with me for you are all I want to see
And while the P before M changes to A
I want you with me to embrace the new day
And when the sun rises above the earth
Understand that our love has undergone a rebirth
And when the earth rises above the sun
Understand that our love has just begun
“Timeless, Interchangeable Love”
by: Eric L. Boddie
Eric Clapton, the blues guitarist, singer and songwriter
And the most eminent rock musician in Rolling Stone’s list
The recipient of CBE and 18 Grammy awards
With his blues songs, especially of love
Influenced Joe Bonamassa on his musical journey
Eric Clapton’s song “Sunshine of your love”
Inspired my lyric “Moonshine of your love”
That flows as follows
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
The sun is slowly going down
The sky gleams with the twilight glow
I’m waiting to be with you darling
The zeal of my longing I’ll show
I’ll make you my own
I’ll make you mine when the moon will be rising
I’ve been craving all the while
To walk the endless mile
In the moonshine of your love
You’re with me now
The stars shining in your eyes I see
Yes, you’re with me now
In the dreaming night it’s you and me
I’ll be with you darling
I’ll be with you till my streams stop to flow
I’ve been craving all the while
To walk the endless mile
In the moonshine of your love
You’re with me now
The stars shining in your eyes I see
Yes, you’re with me now
In the dreaming night it’s you and me
I’ll be with you darling
I’ll be with you till my streams stop to flow
I’ve been craving all the while
I’ve been craving all the while
I’ve been craving all the while
To walk the endless mile
In the moonshine of your love

90% of humanity disgusts me
The other 10% I shall never get to thank
Beneath contempt and not worth loathing
The 90% I rank
Absolutely numb at the levels my species can sink
A time for nuclear cleansing
Is worth the effort, I think
Be done with it already
Our species is done
We’ve gone to the depths of depravity
There’s nowhere else to run
Give the world to the animals
Let them have their shot
We have proven over and over
That intelligence
We have not
We still kill
We still pollute
We still lie, cheat and steal
We still devour the world
And do it all with such zeal
We thumb our nose at religion
And believe it doesn’t matter
We gorge ourselves on evil
And let our greed get fatter
I shake my head everyday
And wonder why it’s allowed to continue
I’m afraid of one day
Where I will no longer care
Where the stories of horrific tragedies
Will become easy to bear
I want to leave this world
The way I arrived
Innocent
But sometimes I fear
I might become part of the 90%
Keep the Faith and keep strong
For in this world it’s too easy
To go wrong
Eric (and sometimes not)
Carlo Santana's Black Magic Woman,
in the 60's and 70's gave magic to his
band..
Drugs were part of this movement it's
fair to say. Getting high for many,
while listening to their music, was the
common way
Peace signs, beads, bell bottoms,
psychedelic shirts, desert boots, and
long hair and marijuana, is what was
in style. Looking back and being part
of that history lifestyle, makes me smile.
Peace protesters against the draft,
and Vietnam war. Jimi Hendrix, Peter,
Paul and Mary, The Beatles, Bob Dillon
The Beach Boys,Led Zepplin, Rolling
Stones,Elvis,Simon and Garfunkel,
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Neil Young,
Leonard Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Carly
Simon is all we heard.
They kept our soldiers in Viet Nam
mentally occupied. It helped them
overcome their stress, and brought
some pleasure to their lives.
Rock N Roll Music had an impact
everywhere.The melodies and lyrics
represented a culture reflecting people,
who really cared.
Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith,
Neil Diamond, Barbara Striesand,
Jim Croce made the scene. Years later
Disco and the Bee Gee's came dancing
in.
Disco died, it didn't last long, during
this time Rock N Roll kept rolling on.
Rush, The Eagles, The Police, Peter
Frampton, Boston, Reo Speedwagon,
Blue OysterCult, Fleetwood Mac, Bob
Seger, Steve Miller band, we listened
to. I can't forget Journey, Bruce
Springsteen, Foreigner or the Who.
Bon Jovi, Creed, Madonna, Red Chili
Peppers, Van Halen, Black Eye Peas,
Were hot then. Rock N Roll songs, will
keep on playing, and be appreciated
over and over again.
Time reflects the Lyrics in the songs,
of the good times and the wrongs.
Woodstock brought them all together,
a lasting bond to last forever.. .
Homeward Bound Simon and Garfunkel
was the favorite song with the soldiers. Also
John mentioned The Lion SleepsTonight by
the Tokens. Robert Lindley also mentioned
their groups that were left out. Please read his
comments below. I also thank Robert for his
valued input.
I just want to add that the 60's and
70's were my personal favorite years.
I say this because people really cared
about the war and each other. They
were right...
