in a matter of unsurpassable projection she pulled the trigger
did not have a license to kill with her words but exclaimed
‘everything is wrong and it is entirely and exclusively your fault’
not quite so eloquently but she hit home whose home and why
no matter what the intent had been causes have consequences
‘I am not going to tell you where the faults lie find out yourself’
he should have packed his bags or hers right at that moment
but there were kids to consider and he took the wicked assault
to heart wrecked his mind and soul reasoned and felt empty
questioned quite perplexed why she had never voiced her concern
‘you would have and never will change just like your late father’
and that hurt like a missile propelled at defenceless innocence
he tried to comprehend and negotiate a path to mutual resolution
failed miserably got depressed and dug himself into a prison
with self imposed wardens of melancholy and moribund sadness
the years have passed and she now sits alone in her ivory tower
whereas he ventured on the hard journey of soothing his wounds
new wife new occupation happiness and he lived around the globe
one constant is that she could not turn the children against him
they remembered the hands on father whom they did not reject
today a poet he weaves verses meaning streams consciousness
learnt a few lessons smoothened a few edges of error and terror
did not think much about her attack for change needs forgetting
and that while she kept the money he had been set entirely free
she was right because she prevented him from changing with her

I've traveled by plane and ship all about this celestial ball;
Visited many fascinating lands and intriguing ports of call.
I've done it all, seen it all and no matter whence I stray,
There ain't nothin' like livin' in the good ol' US of A!
I've marveled as the risin' sun tinted Mount Fuji in Japan;
Was awed by the rugged Khyber Pass in mystic Pakistan;
I've viewed magnificent sunsets from the shores of Naples Bay,
But these pale compared to the grandeur of the good ol' US of A!
I've seen the hopelessness of people under the heel of oppression;
Their struggles to exist, their lack of freedom of expression;
People ruled by despotic regimes in which they have no say;
Thank God for the freedoms we enjoy in the good ol' US of A!
Many are the patriots who placed national destiny above their own,
To ensure that our precious liberties would ne'er be overthrown.
They sleep awaiting Gabriel's clarion call 'neath hallowed clay;
Thanks to them, Old Glory yet waves o'er the good ol' US of A!
Thanks to our Founding Fathers who with unwavering resolution,
Framed that sacred beacon of hope, our precious Constitution!
Even with its many flaws, without reservation I can proudly say:
"I'm so privileged to be a citizen of the good ol' US of A!
Two thousand twenty-five will be here soon-
and as tradition, it's the time to say
what is my promised wish to start anew
with resolutions that are made to stay.
Something important that will make a change
on how I like to spend my brand new day-
not to awake with passion to write words;
just steer my talents in another way.
When I begin a poem, I soon find
that many hours may pass as I delay
the other things still waiting to be done.
It's best to choose leftover time to play.
And so, my New Year's wish- to wake up strong-
forget the visions dancing in my head!
Replace the rhymes and meter with a list
of all the things I need to do instead!
And my reward will be, at each day's end,
my wish stayed true and I can say hooray!
But somehow I believe my heart will ache-
and soon the muse in me will not obey!
Beta and the VHS
Could not be beaten years ago.
A childhood of watching tapes...
These were standard video.
Then throughout my teenage years
The DVD was made.
The quality was noticeable
Because of this upgrade.
Discs progressed over more years...
Along came the Blu-ray.
Evolution yet again
Of picture and display.
Ultraviolet and 3D...
Digital copies too.
Many ways to watch a film...
These are just a few.
These days, resolution lies
In glamourous 4K...
Up to four times better than
The typical Blu-ray.
From what I've heard of resolution
8K is the best.
I wonder how when the time comes
It compares to the rest?
There’s crabs in the bucket, lice in the cream –
Throw it on the bonfire
No one partakes of this particular dream –
Throw it on the bonfire
Insecure god wants a baby to raise –
Throws it on the bonfire
I’ll play my banjo to the bright L.A. blaze
And throw it on the bonfire
Some big-ass astronaut gets slung off to space
(Throw it on the bonfire)
Who foots the bill for this wild comet chase?
(Throw it on the bonfire)
That tin can of a rocket implodes at separation
(Throw it on the bonfire)
In high resolution and neat devastation
(Throw it on the bonfire)
Day after day, in place after place
It’s the credo of each woman and man:
If we can’t have it, you better believe
Ain’t nobody else can
The races collide in the stadium of night
(Throw it on the bonfire)
The system grid goes down in a fury of light
(Throw it on the bonfire)
Cheerleaders portend the static of woe
(Throw it on the bonfire)
And rally crucified halfbacks from ten centuries ago
Then thrown em on the bonfire
"What's your New Year's resolution?"
"From last year, what's your evolution?"
Now that New Year's here,
That's what we'll get to hear -
Just what you want after a vacation.
I once tried to eat only healthy food,
Thought that'll do me a world of good;
I did cut down on junk
And lived like a monk -
But then stopped, as it spoiled my mood.
Then I thought I'll keep my house clean,
Grow some plants and keep them all green;
But of course, I was lazy
And must have been crazy -
Even "drinking water" isn't a routine.
Since then I've realised one thing -
Any big change, a single day can't bring;
If you really wish to grow,
Take it steady and slow;
Start now - don't wait for new year to ring.
(Verse)
Kurt will live forevermore, along with all of our existing songs
Songwriter for a disillusioned old-world generation, is not gone
On the day he left the world, he left me, and nothing else to do
I turn off the radio, our songs now are unbearable to listen to
Life goes on knowing one of these days the heart shall stop
This “very dark period” will come to an end, as shall tremulous teardrops
A determination, a resolution, till then I’m going to live like it’s the last,
appreciating everyday regardless of the hurt of songs from our past
(Chorus)
Shut down I am, the dreams get louder in my head
It's me that's gone, is it much easier for you now, being dead?
Music I once loved I can’t bear to hear,
I journey wounded thru glass in tears
You took you out, for me no light has shone
I can’t bear the darkness, can’t quite make it alone
(Refrain)
It’s times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you learn to love again… (From the Foo Fighter song)
(Bridge)
What was then my loss I found a way back in solace of music
I played every instrument, I wrote, liberating my grief in lyric
I had to learn to live again, love again, without my friend
With the formation of Foo Fighters, my grieving came to an end
Though it was when my own daughters fell for Nirvana’s work
That healing words comforted them, conciliating the suicide of Kurt
(Refrain)
It’s times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you learn to love again… (From the Foo Fighter song)
Solitude
Walking alone
Often outside
In deep thought
About things of
Great importance.
I wonder aloud
Thoughts amassed
Priorities now
Solutions not clear
Seeking inspiration.
Time’s fleeting
Which is always
Tied to many
Dynamic actions
Begging resolution.
I stop now—
And look heavenward
Solutions abound
Choices are difficult
I’m staying focused.
Use my intuition
Request divine help
Do Nothing
Take your pick
Nothing’s easy.
My soul’s focus
Trust yourself—
First and foremost
God speaks silently
Do it now!

Spring trips will be all lively in untamed life.
Times whims will erode a flourishing nightlife.
Fallen leaves capitulate to the assaults of time.
Superb sound of hatchlings leaving to rife.
The Sunsets as it plunges from its climb.
Such as life, we often are placed in odd chimes.
Instability drives doomed people hysterical.
Likewise, the regarded air is beginning to dime.
A brilliant and marvelous day is a sample.
A forlorn relationship douses the pull.
Significance is no longer convincing.
A vitality-less soul supports gloomy turmoil.
Individuals lose faith when their ego is dissolving.
Sympathy is essential to offer ultimate helping.
Passions are hidden for a while and ego fusion.
Days to review and retain the positive feelings.
Ignoring the past and savoring the situation.
Less secure than assuming: reaching resolution
The truth is that everything is transitory.
Even if it is genuine, today is a bogus imitation.
The will to fight in despite immense difficulty
I can swiftly mute myself to the limit of insanity.
Woe and anguish hammer my nerve
I'm worried and upset by the uncapability.
The Year 2016 is swiftly taking off,
blasting fireworks weave superb designs;
the Year 2015 was without Smirnoff,
but what are the changes Man promises?
My simple answer may shock you: finding God
and asking Him for biblical wisdom
is the solution to our problems not yet resolved;
He is the cure of this social symptom!
Election's fever is sweeping throughout the Country,
competition is a race of mockery and insults;
all they talk about is changing our society...
what is missing? Who delves deeper in their thoughts?
If I alienate myself and hide in my safe den,
I can only protect myself from the gunfire of mad men
who pledge allegiance with a compulsive mind;
doesn't a true and loving God hate violence of any kind?
There is no other god before me, before others there is Satan;
I only pray to the One who gathers clouds and makes rain fall,
heeding the predictions of astrologers can stir much concern...
nothing is far from the truth: they see those signs on every wall!
The Year 2015 should be marked, " A Big Failure " on every calendar as a year
of spiritual and material needs, also of dangers and catastrophes;
we can have a great resolution for ourselves by drawing new plans...
when all is peaceful and very calm, we may lose all to an unpredictable disaster!
