Being Japanese

All Japanese people use ancient glacial ice
Mined from miles below the arctic circle
By sophisticated machinery and drills
Core samples are their way of life
Core values is a reason for holding on

Being Japanese is being Japanese
Is being grounded in their condition
In sushi bars and Geisha nights delights
Fine whiskey over arctic ice

Their world is upside down 
In fact, the bottom of the globe 
Gravity holds Japan in place 
Nowhere near the United States

"Ikiai" is the meaning "reason for being" 
Turning Japanese is pleasing
I think I'm turning Japanese 

Men and women think alike 
They would like to live in peace
With machinery and luxuries  
To live forever with chunks of ice 
                                                          
In reality we are all just Asians
In need of gravity to keep from falling off
The bottom of the world seems dangerous
Please send the people glue and sticky stuff
All things being equal we need adhesives
It's not easy being Japanese

Premium Member The Cherry Blossoms Will Bloom Again

The power of nature has ravaged the Japanese shore,
Leaving in its wake devastation and unimaginable gore.
The mettle of this gentle people has been tested, it is true,
But next spring, they know that cherry blossoms will bloom anew!

Alas, whole villages along that rugged coast were torn asunder,
As the raging tsunami raced inland gobbling up its plunder.
When all hope was lost and they thought they'd surely meet their doom,
They were cheered knowing that cherry blossoms once again would bloom!

This stalwart people who'd suffered the ravages of falling shell and bomb
Dropped from silver birds, faced another holocaust with great aplomb.
With little but hope they vowed to rebuild their lives ever keeping in view,
The cherry blossoms that would bloom come next spring with dainty hue!

Alas, the 'quake leveled schools, ancient temples and magnificent torii,
But this patient people will restore them once again to their former glory!
They will persevere again and again as surely as the rising sun at dawn,
To enjoy another season of delicate cherry blossoms 'til their scent is gone!

The brotherhood of nations rallied as one to provide succor with speed.
It was neighbor helping neighbor in keeping with the Master's creed!
Even though the nation was rocked with misery, shock and searing pain,
Out of the depths of disaster the cherry blossoms will bloom once again!

Hello Kitty Bullet Train

" Fantasy and economy on a one track mind "

Hello Kitty pretty bullet train
Lets go choo choo with you
Crazy fast from Osaka to Fukuoka
Pink and white inside and out
Purple seats are soft and comfy
All these fantastic fantasies are plush
But are there toilets and vomit bags
Is this a bus
Such hallucinations make me dizzy
Hello Kitty! I can't even say Shinkansen
Spelling the name is silly and insane
Not everyone on Earth has a three year old
Welcome abroad little Hello Kitty kids
Bring plenty of Monopoly money sweetie
The bills are so colorful tiny and small
Take daddy with you too with real green cash
Hello Kitty trains run sugar sweet on tracks
On imagination in fact
In loco crazy locomotion in reverse 
Pretty in pink but nothing runs for free

Premium Member A Harvest of Learning

I have never been a believer in destiny or fate
and hate the thought of a fence without a gate.
Freedom should be a bounty offered to everyone
and I don't just mean when the day's work is done.
After each ripened harvest there should be a gain
of useful things gathered and lessons learned remain.
I've the mindset of que sera sera; what will be will be
it eliminates anxiety and it's always worked for me.

I'm often accused of having my head stuck in a book
So, if you can't find me, that'd be a good place to look.
Chances are I'll be reading about cloudless blue skies 
or some dismal love story in which the sad damsel cries.
It's curiosity that keeps me turning pages of a tome,
to visit places, I'd love to see like Japan, Athens and Rome.
I usually carry a backpack with me, filled with books...
not caring if people stare at me with disconcerted looks.

Global Warming 2100

The mountains wept.
The skies moaned.
The soil trembled.
The trees whispered their last green prayers—
"Man has destroyed us... alone."

He who adds no value
takes all,
then leaves nothing—
just wastelands where rivers once sang.

The year was 2100.
Half of Britain—gone beneath the Atlantic.
Japan—smaller than a dot on a map.
American states—flooded into memory.
Europe—erased.
Russia’s frost—melted into pestilence.

Africa— Famine became the air.
Children born on rafts,
fields drowned or cracked open in grief.

China— Cities sleep beneath the sea,
towers weep salt into silence.

We were warned.
But greed was louder than science,
stronger than truth,
crueler than time.

Now the Earth writes back
in flood, famine, fire—
her final signature: sorrow.

Let this not be prophecy.
Let this be the scream
that wakes the world.

The balalaika

It includes Sopka Veles speaks
                       the balalaika
Eumetopias Jubatus spoke this to the people.
from the  Stone area of Mesozoic and Paleozoic.
Severo-Kurilsk in the Kuril Islands
the reports spoke of a 8.8 magnitude quake here
a quake that caused a tsunami wave.
from alaska to california thru mexico to the
south american coast
they watched and waited
for the wave not know how intense it would be.
tsunami warning in Hawaii, after damage in both Russia 
and Japan. They discontinued the tsunami warnings Crescent City
was the last to warning. 
The Kamchatka quake caused Volcano to erupt off the coast
of Russia.Klyuchevskoy Volcano spewed it's load, ashfall 
caused damage.
The Songs to appease Perun has angered Veles
he unleased quake after quake to
quiet there worship
and after the strongest quake
he made the volcano erupt
and send out a tsunami to
dismantle the Temples
the people built
to worship Perun.

Tsunami

Tsunami

I got some bad news from my granddaughter today
That one of her friends who had moved to JAPAN
With her family- “died in that tsunami.”

She was only ten years of age
And would always speak with my 
Grand daughter on her face book page.

Now this young life has been taken away
And for her and all lives lost, we do pray.
First they had an earthquake - one of  the
Strongest ever recorded at 9.0 on the scale
Which created the tsunami with over
thirty foot waves ,sending possibly thousands
To an early watery grave.

it seems like with each disaster 
There is a miracle after.
A four month old baby was found alive
They’re still trying to figure out
How it survived.

Then a seventy year old lady
Somehow came thru
How did she make it? What did she do?

They also found a man in a crushed
House eight days later.
Now you tell me - what can be greater!

they are finding many more alive
But in the process, so many have died.
So for these miracles that we now see
They Will go into the pages of history.

How many more signs must be shown
Before we open our eyes to what humanity
Is doing and to what god created.
Must everything we know become devastated.

So to my granddaughters friend JENNIFER VEGA
You have gone to meet our maker.
But as so many who have gone before
You’ll be there to open our door.
You’ll be there with a grin 
Ready to welcome us in.

But why has mankind allowed us 
To get to a point of no return
With so many screaming , and their
Voices can’t be heard.

I guess mankind will never learn
And in our hearts these tragedies
Will forever burn.

Symptoms

Whatever happens when days counted as weeks?

And years counted as astrological countdowns

What ever happened to disco rap battling drums?

On streets filled graffiti and sand castles

Whatever happens to shoes with no laces?

And bras with no straps

Backpack ladybugs with taps

Bell bottoms Montreal

Sweden Russia Columbia streets

Backward aimed down guns strictly meant for

Cisco band operative thieves

Whatever happens to justice stringing down a cubical wall?

Hanged down gavels London has fall

Lint brushed suits and gated Citadels

Bells ring time church broken pulpits spill

What ever happened to make up brushing Mack trucks?

Highway in France

Long stroking discipline Chinese to Japan

Whatever happened to words screaming off a page?

Sandy still beat breathing cells covered backward again

What happened to life metaphoric acronym?

Made fun of stage left to mend

Jokes to tell anchors to sail

What happened to the decrease in operating jail to sale?

What happened man made fictional crap

Backsliding genocide and presidents’ mysteriously vanish

What happened is told with a story that has no end?

Stopped up water turned brown cased in a sprite river bend

What happened what happened if the time was not set?

It will be broken and told to lie up a case with no Chef

No knife no swords

The word would not be told

What happen to happen?

Happen has caught a cold!
