Premium Member In Collaboration With Mackenzie Phillips

Laura Mackenzie,
Phillips was checking out while,
Doting fans were near, waiting

For her autograph,
She had a City Ledger
Account, the studio will

Pay, she only needs 
To sign it. Constant trouble
Made for the short attention 

Span, "Please sign here...", she
cut me off, grabs some hotel
Stationery and proceeds

To autograph it,
"HUGS & KISSES THAT'S FROM THE
MISSES--but before she signs

It,--TO,--looks at me
And says, "Who?", I gave her my
kid sister's name. We are not

Allowed to have one's
Autograph--LISE", I placed
her account in front of her

She gives it the once-
Over, signed it, gave her a
Copy and told her we are

Done, "We at Hilton...,
Blah-blah-blah, Thank you!"--then I
told the doting crowd, "She's yours!"

(Y-E-A-H!)

***ONE DAY AT A TIME, and one such of many tidbits with the stars.

*I am only stating facts I observed at hearings and from witnesses and my opinion.

I am only exercising freedom of speech.  If you don’t like it, please ignore…thank you!

Dead people voted
More votes than legal voters
Votes flipped per internet

Truth was in the win
Trucks of ballots dumped at night
Cheating while sleeping and more

Call me a whiner
Try to call me a liar
Witness lives were threatened

Watch Lindell’s 90
Full evidence is revealed
Justice must not be ignored

Seven Sedokas Of The People

(For Langston Hughes)


1. Ain't Got No Shoes,Still Dancing'

Foots bare, street cold,
but mabebeza, we move,
we glide,-moonlight don't charge no fee

We hum our bread song,
clap our hands,forget the pain-
joy be free,you see?

2. Stellaland Blues

Cup o' tears, chile,
Stir it with dreams and honey-
Lord,make it taste right.

Mom hum soft tunes,
sayin',''rise tonight''

3. Minibus Taxi To Glory

Ride slow, Miss Zodwa, ride-
dreamin' o' silk and Paris
but ticket say ''Zone Three''

Still, she sit tall-tall,
chin up, proud as prophecy-
queen of Destiny.

4. He Done Left Again

Roy packed his rhythm bag,
said he's searching for a dream-
left me clutching his blues.

I kiss his shadow,
whisper to the dawn his name-
Love don't choose no truce.

5. Ouma Le Roux's Bible

Pages torn,still sing-
Joshua fit the battle,''hum,''
and the walls crash down!

Ouma's eyes on fire,
preachin' from a ragged crown-
heaven in her frown.

6. Freedom Don't Come Down

They say,''Be patient.''
We say,''Patient ain't bread,food!''
hunger make us shout

Sjambok still hum in in dreams,
but we break it,loud and proud-
freedom,hear us out!

Premium Member My Last Pet

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it"
Quote by: E. E. Cumming

I run some water
But your bowl is put away
Age or habit, I forget

You went to your grave
Your spirit remains, contained
My pet had his special place

In my heart and mind
No more will I clean hike stains
Nor dispense your meds in cheese

Physical body
Now buried in the small grave
His feisty spirit lingers

I use the term hike when a male dog hikes his leg to urinate, but he also sprays his scent.

Premium Member Pride

PRIDE

           You worked really hard
           Path of life was uneven.
          You have stumbled on each step.
           Truth was only guard.
         Long journey was not serene.
         You had not fled to escape.

          Deceit, betrayal 
           jealousy, failure, pain
          attacked, but you stood erect.
           Love came parallel
          Your effort was not in vain.
         Success proved you the perfect.

           Sure you are proud
           to win the troublesome game.
           Act as an Idol rather.
          Don’t be rude or loud
         as you have attained the fame.
          Pride has no right to hurt other.

Premium Member Plastic

moon river  thins out
     crawling on muddy waters
         …like black honey thick with phlegm

grandeur of tides breaks
     her frail song choking for breath…
        sea creatures huff for clear wafts


life is shortened now
      bearing trash of man’s neglect…
               to nurture pure ocean beds



crests wither with age
        a garbage of waves fleeting
               … swallowed  by lethal plastic

Susan Burch’s Paper or Plastic

Premium Member Decade - Ence

Back in the fifties
America seemed much calmer
McCarthy's commie blacklists
Sputnik's shocking launch
Ike's wife Mamie so sedate
That pre-historic hairdo

World War Two over
We needed some time to heal
Alan Ginsburg penned his 'Howl'
Chuck Berry goosed his walk
The West Wing conservative
White House picket-fence painted

Boom! an explosion
Cultural revolution
Sixties' deaths brought us down
Hendrix, Morrison
Jackie became Onassis
Where's JFK's Camelot

Seventies came, went
Eighties crashed, burned, flamed out too
But Jerry Rubin's Wall Street
Greed ruled the Nineties
Internet changed all of us
The world at a click-click-click

New Millenium
Rapid change hurtles forward
People do change, however
Shootings dot landscape
Retreat into our smartphones
Loneliness Unconnected

Now the Age of Trump
Rears its flame-orange mane and screams
Me-too Movement gains traction
Women come forward
Teen suicide rate rises
Society imperiled

I miss long ago
to be called a brat again
and useless to them
I miss recently
to be told thanks dad again
can you help me dad
benefits I ~ had
they have all passed on ~ but me
their absence ~ is now my void
benefits I ~ have
they have all moved on ~ from me
ocean parts ~ but not our hearts

*to my wife and son who are now with my family

In My Shirts Your Touch

In my shirts your touch
In my tea your moonlit shade
In my boat your rhythmic swing
Since you left this house
All blue-green leaves have wilted
Smoke irritates my lone lungs

I first tried the books
Your intense eyes on each page
On bedsheets your brown hairclip
I look for warm breath 
All in vain it's just a void
Emptiness crushing my ribs

Do you know the truth
In my heart for you there is
In your mind for me there is
A thing we call love
A rivulet of champagne
The flow of which never ends

In half-bloomed starlight
Where the fireflies share their tales
Where fall toop toop dews from night
I ask them of you
Have my diamond gone to morgue
To enrich my depressed dream

Today I ate roast.
The one you prepared Sunday.
The last one was much better.
I fed the dog scraps
and he ate them just the same.
I guess there was no difference.

Yesterday was Mom’s
birthday and we took her out
to eat at Carlito’s Place.
Today she said she
didn’t remember eating.
The cake was on her table.

I wish you were here 
so you could help me with Mom.
She asks about you often.
How’s the play going? 
Call me if you need my help.
I’ll tell Mom that you love her.

Hope you call tonight.
We can talk about the chair—
They called to say it’s finished.
I’ll see you at the 
contest on Saturday morn.
Won’t you be glad when it’s done?

The dog is depressed—
He misses you more than words 
could ever start to describe.
We’ll both feel better
whenever you return home.
Promise me you’ll stay awhile.
