Smoke rising from the ground
Obscures the pools of blood
Where soldiers uttering sounds
Lie dying in the mud.
Horses neighing, running scared
In horror find no end
Of battleground that's shared
The crimson life of men.
A bugle lies still tightly clenched
In...

I saw my world changed and in a spin 

I saw another end - the end of the band
I saw John and Yoko hand in hand

I saw commandos...

Suddenly everybody was awaken by the strong tremors
of the early April's earthquake...walls falling all around them,
dust suffocating them as they ran out to the debris-covered streets;
with no slippers and shoes on their cold feet;
people of...

Before you:
I walked around in a haze
never wanted to show my face
didn't think I'd ever find someone
to heal the damage some people had done
And then:
you came along out of nowhere
showed me how to hold my...

Hillary is cooked Bills time not overlooked
Their crimes way overbooked
Democrats and Republicans alike
Caught on a barbed hook
Americans don't need another look
The Clinton Foundation indicted like crooks
We didn't hire any of them to cook the books

On quiet days in mid autumn 
When sun and clouds play ‘peek-a-boo’ 
Somber thoughts linger in crisp air
Of some other time and place where 
Harmattan winds in December create 
A hazy fog of dust and...

I hate what is happening. 
It seems that there is in fact no good way out.  
All I can think about is failure, futile future.  
No end, a dead end, 
no joy or...

Who is the bear;
That is running scared?
Taken what is not his
What it is, what it is;
Telling you what's good for you
And what's not
Drinking portage and hemlock (what)
And who is the lion
whose got the people crying
Saving...

Friendship?

		Facebook 'friends' and 'likes' abound
		Like pebbles strewn on stony ground
		A passing fad or here to last?
		Of recent days or years long past.
		Does friendship live so short a while
		Reflected in a hazy smile?
		They come and go,...

Shyness of life courage of death
voice that rumbles inside your head 
and burdens like wormwood on weakened chest
or a spring bowl full of uneaten fruits 
beside the dead man’s bed

blind clairvoyant cursed with blessings

A friend advised "Cheer up, buddy, and don't be blue",
strange of him to say that just when I was feeling low.
I was thinking, what was so colorful about being sad,
only showed his English vocabulary was...

Feeling like I just lost my time
Can't seem to find my rhyme
A writer's block holding my way
Crossroad leading to insane
 
Feeling it, I lost my rhyme
Can't seem to keep up
I lost my way's rhythmic advantage

With beauty beyond compare
long golden locks of hair
a complexion that was perfection
slim and slender, lips so tender
her smile would melt a thousand
hearts.
she had style, she had grace
more than just a pretty face.

From this girl so...

Sweet angel, does September song include 
My bleeding love to impact your return?

When I dream of you,
You are my world.
You have my heart and soul.
Together we are one.
Then as if in a horrible nightmare,
My world crumbles.
My dream goes wrong,
Something is different,
It's as if I'm in a fog,
Barely...
