This primal problem of militarism by historic default
is that it is an intrinsically...

with the WhiteHouse.
But, when the President called,

I guess it felt like an obligation
to at least show up,
although perhaps about...

Her-story, a comet’s tail, blazing across time.

Through seasons it molds
...Once hushed now bold
We rise, a chorus harmonizing, 
...In this vast, of an eternal fold.

so many dark times, but it’s unimaginable

Through the walls 
Beyond all That 
Deafening windfall

Tasking freedom

A solid speaker for the mute
Constant presence for the Word

So I pulled on my old boots and...

The beginnings of normalcy wrought with disturbance,
Bereavement for the...

re-write of American Pie:

A long, long time ago,
I can still remember when,

They wouldn't choose that pompous goat,
