Your flick of eyeliner,
Tattoo's and beehive
A bit of rock and roll,
something of Jazz or Jive.
Your authentic words
ingrained in our memory
Listening to the beats,
tapping along to the melody.
The sultry, smokiness
the range of your voice,
We're right there with you
the moment you soar.
As you up the rhythm
taking us on a
Nostalgic, Jazz filled ride.
When we saw how they hounded you
We felt that knock to your pride.
Your determination,
uniqueness and drive
Inspired us women,
Man you did shine.
Watched you grasp onto the feeling's
to help release a little pressure.
Inhale the love before it became a bit lesser.
Back to Black when he went back to her.
You sang us through the hurt,
Coming down from the high.
We sang along with you,
We heard your heart sigh.
Walking around a little shattered and broken
A hole in your heart, alone and unspoken
Clutching to something to fill the void
Is it a hunger, a lack of nurturing and care.
When we need it the most hope somebody is there.

May Australia consider such better times.' When the drumbeat of politics is being played, right into your minds.'
When the radios are sqawking.' And beuracrats kiss
Babys.' Then get up; onto their stages to hiss.' Each at
The other though they all promote the same bizz?
Can you hear echos of the lash? The clink of old chain
Rings? After one hundred years hard and long there..
Was a time when we considerd, better things' those evil times so
Long gone.! Times of being 'locked in' of breaking the
Rocks, to build our roads.' And all the other hardships
'Some considered to be our lot' i am a child of the 60s and in
The 70s I knew.' A country that was looking forward'
Where each man and woman, earned what was their
Due.' Great botanical gardens, in which to lunch at
Your ease.' 3Kz was rocking Melbourne taking a taxi
Was a breeze ' is silver top still the main firm?' Yet indeed
I digress.' I AM SHOUTING OUT FROM LONDON; U K.' you
Must get out of this mess.' For when your pubs were all
Shut down..And the Churches also too.' That was as was
In America.. Another dividing line from the very few.' also
What happenend to gun ownership? In the 90s I know'
I heard it from the U K.. Those radio stations sure did
Go.' Its more quiet on the 'jab injuries' ' well thats just a
Blip you know...? And all the freedoms taken.? it was 'one real. Real; bad
Trip' now find some time to get together' put away the stuff
Of it.' Like how much is my house worth? Look
At London.!! How is its health?? Now we can all see
The tentecles, of old europe trying to grow ' in evil stealth'
To a great entaglement..You have to get to work' how? to
Just say no.!! Say it for our 'sister from Werribe' who
Set fire to her car.' Hounded by (dan andrews) and all
Those little czars.' Say it for your dad; and mum now' for
Gran and grandad too.' Treat these pollo's worse than you did
That 'voice call' In greatest love I cry out to you.!
They did the same thing to my mother, Eleanor May Dubarry, no provider including Medicare wanted to pay her final medical expenses,
including transportation to and from the Everett's Providence Hospital.
It seems they really wanted either her or me to pay them instead.
But they never did admit to it. After she died, my middle brother Dale, made copies of her death certificate and I mailed them to all the involved parties. Because I did not have Power of Attorney, they really could not hold me accountable. Cathy Mutschuler, DSHS kept telling us, my mom did not have to pay!
There have been other instances. An elders couple in Ferndale, Washington, could not afford to pay for their prescriptions. They had their own final solution. They decided, not Almighty God, when they had the right to die. I am sure many tears were cried and many hearts were broken in to. How many times tragic scenarios like this happen? Even the news media probably does not even know.
What is a woman to do when her medical provider, United Health care does not honor her claim? Her other provider also will not pay her medical bills. She has been to see Governor Jay Inslee and our federal representatives. They promised her they would help, but no affirmative action was taken. And now she is being hounded by bill collectors demanding payment.
Both of us are believers in Jesus Christ. I told her to contact problem solvers, but to pray about it first. Yes, I am a Democrat, who is also a Christian! I am a supporter of our Governor and Federal Representative and Senator. I honestly believe they intended to help her. But failed to do so. This is why the title of this narrative poem is entitled the Medical provider runaround. And yes I am on United Health Care and they have good go me. Delloney will help me apply for Medicare before I turn 65 October 4th of this year.
Share your own stories in your own words and in your own ways. And always remember to pray! I pray to Jesus Christ. And this poem is my prayer for help and guidance.
Love as always,
Love in Christ Jesus!

When ecstatic I am astounded
That feeling of an all time high
Good at the time that sounded
Till out comes the negative guy
Then constantly l am hounded
With questions of how and why
Ones mind is often clouded
Thoughts so dormant they lie
Emotionally dumbfounded
I want to break down and cry
Just for once to feel grounded
Always that battle of l against l
Written 2020 excerts from a state of mind 2004
this is taken from a poem called a state of mind
which I will be putting back on here in same format as am doing with a lot of others at moment another interpretation of ones self
Bunny Grows Up
On this August bright summer day,
A bunny sat with her nose twitching.
Bunny was wishing and wishing.
That the big mean dogs leave her alone.
She was hidden in high, verdant grass,
Waiting for a chance to run home.
Mother Bunny was home making carrot cake,
She coulcd smell the aroma, oh!
Bunny was drooling for it and so.
Though she knew mean dogs were at her heels,
Understood this was her chance to Hop and run
Arrive home with Bunny Mom, hugged in the sun.
How wonderful to be back with Mother.
She was safe and not hounded by others.
The sun set quietly in the West.
Bunny had overcome her predators
Three cheers for her.
Kitty laid next to her, oh how she purred.
They were both learning how to handle fear
Mother loved their resolve and cheered.
The moon blest them, the stars caressed them

We need to remember our heritage and the reason we celebrate the 4th of July.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants.
Nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated.
But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
I remember Charlie from college,
a troublemaker par excellence,
not that Charlie intended to be,
it’s just his views were often askance.
Take, for example, the time in class
we were discussing feminism,
the professor was glad her students
were all seeing things through her prism.
But then Charlie said, “You’re looking past
the long-term effects of such thoughts,
marriage rates are down, so are birth rates,
divorce is so common it seems taught.
More single mothers mean messed up kids,
strange men in the house mean more abuse,
with no strong families to model off,
children grow up with a slanted view,
which makes it hard to form families,
which ensure that our culture survives,
are we sure modern feminism
Is a force for good in all our lives?”
The girls in the class loudly freaked out,
with the professor they piled on,
Charlie just shrugged at their vitriol.
“Your anger doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.”
Now this might have come off arrogant,
It seemed that way to me at the time,
I had not learned to appreciate
The use of a truly honest mind,
Not seen a man who valued the truth
More than woman, friendship, or real fame,
A person who could just go along,
As this next tale will help to explain:
It was another discussion,
About women joining the work force,
And how it was a great step forward,
That we should be encouraging more.
But Charlie raised his hand and spoke up,
“What is gonna happen to the kids?
Should we just entrust them to daycare,
Like our parents’ generation did?
Mental illness has skyrocketed,
And it’s become clear this plays a part,
The formative years are so vital
To a balanced mind and healthy heart.
A stay at home parent teaches them
That they are valued and loved so much
That someone will dedicate their life
To see them protected and raised up.
Why should they fight for a stranger’s time,
What negative effects will that have?
Problems when young tend to follow us
To adulthood, and that would be bad.
Man or woman, stay at home parents
Help give us people health and strong.”
They hounded him out, but he yelled back,
“Get upset, but you know I’m not wrong!”
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
Ice say... water we dew wing to planet Earth?
Tis appalling *****sapiens legacy,
the future survival of species can ill afford
hence we must not dodge and dart away,
but heed urgent call to arms decree fiat,
lest vast gamut of flora and fauna
deprived their rightful respect
courtesy ewe buick wit us ram
me bipedal hominids wresting
driver's seat and steering fate
all species unfairly doomed
analogous to horse and buggy
only far worse, whereat naked ape
that nasty short tempered and brutish
beast finagled, hijacked, besotted,
usurped... sacred covenant taurus
once illustrious precious habitats
escorted to shreds
innocent plants and animals, we
signalled anonymous poetic mouthpiece,
cuz world wide webbed tapestry
irreparably tattered, thus swiftly tailored
measures beg critters to needle
arrogantly depraved, galling humans
violating, tormenting, ruining...
basket of deplorables mankind
violently, obnoxiously, indiscriminately...
destroying carte blanche - absolute
zero guilt whittling, vaporizing,
uglifying, trampling, slashing, razing,
quashing, paving, oppressing,
eradicating, devaluing, burning...
once upon a time edenic oblate spheroid
now crowded house overpopulated
teeming billions wantonly annihilate
at expense of avast extinction
to sustain global industrialization
kickstarting lamentable machinations
spindling, fondling, mutilating
permanently desecrating scarring
wreaking havoc rendering uber
terrestrial plain untenable
massacring, incapacitating Gaia,
she unable to shuck off yoked aggressive
lymphatic, metastatic, narcissistic...
asphyxiation, choking, eradication
biological diversity flummoxed
hounded, jackknifed, liquidated
promulgating me, no matter futile
effort to appeal against doom
fervent clemency against
effrontery, queasy temerity...
mercilessly rained down pell mell
upon inimitable mother nature
unspeakable, unpardonable, unforgivable...
despicable, horrible, ineradicable... demise
affecting every living organism.
When are you going to fix the garage door?
He had just gotten home from an eight-hour-day.
Was barely in the house when she began harping.
Can I please put on my comfy clothes first? He wondered.
She followed him into the bedroom.
You said you would fix it this week, she said.
He shut his eyes, trying to shut her words out.
She yipped like a dog when she was on a little roll like this.
Can I get a little snack first? He asked.
You are going to sit in that recliner all evening, she accused.
He said “I might,” and sat down with his remote.
Her mouth was yapping like a swim pool filter cover.
She was a professional hound. She could never have silence.
He had no idea of this when he fell in love with her.
Could I have just a bit of silence tonight? He asked her.
They ate their supper, and his eyes began to close.
What about the garage door? She asked him.
I don’t have the right parts, he said. It was a quick lie.
Then what is stopping you from changing the filters in the furnace?
He thought back to their dating days. She was never like this back then.
If she had been, would he have fallen in love? He did not know.
Or you could clean off that work bench of yours, she suggested.
Why did she want him to constantly do something?
He thought of the couch out in his garage, and he made his escape.
despite being in bondage
lost in the wilderness for years
despite being persecuted
and hounded by foolish fears
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
despite all that we have endured
God freely gave us His love
and so much more
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
God is love
that's all He abides by
despite us being ourselves
He chose us to godly supply
He overlooked our mistakes
He forgave our sins
He chose us to be
His earthly children
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
It wasn't because we're so many
It's because we're so few
we are the chosen generation
He gave His love freely to
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
He did not choose us for what we possess
He did not choose us based on our address
He did not choose us for our attitudes
He chose us simply
because of our gratitude
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
He chose the few
He chose us that day
He looked beyond our sins
and gave us Yahweh
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are His chosen generation
we've been appointed
we've been anointed
we have a godly vocation
we are God's chosen generation
