Long Oswald Poems

History's Sad Song (Revised)

throughout my life
I've heard many a sad song
relating to the lyrics
that seemed to play too long

way back during the Crusade
where religious debt was paid
by the bloodlust of so many
could not ye God...

I wear a veil of iron mesh,
it sheilds me from sensation,
it's like the one that Jackie wore
after Jack's assassination.

Fire
Flames – destroying everything –
Flames – I felt their heat –
The whirling world – it cannot stand—

Consuming all the stars I see
In heaven’s stretched-out...

Say Oswald killed The President…
Explode our towers before our...

With gears spinning and blinking lights,
Dials with arrows swinging left and right,
And a GPS screen to track my flight.

Then I closely examined my historical map,
While holding the...

We did not try as hard as we could
We got staid and stodgy and old and stale
We gave up after awhile
When we discovered our votes counted less than others
Discouraged, depressed, disappointing ourselves.
We are sorry, child,...

When I escape
this world of storm--
(I can, you know, in many ways)
I'll leave behind
(they say it's so)
Just a body full of days.

When I escape

As easily as a tear is shed,
I'll leave behind

Seen lots of things I just don't understand
Like why a man named Oswald did the things he did
And why they didn't finish things in Vietnam

I had a cat, a large one
