Meant that I would have...

Beatnik Snap
Pale white against the ghostly fog
Smoke curled for lack of oxygen
Black rim glasses hide, head bows
Conceal eyes of cool cat daddy-o

In dark, goatee, groomed and moody
Beret tilted silhouetted, covers identity
Captures blues wrapped in a sax

Dreams Blown Away

A government tank might come rolling
down the road one day
New Roman centurions coming to take
their beloved metal sons away
Give unto Caesar the lobby...

Out of Trenches
Out of Trenches (WW1)

Out of trenches, we met face to face,
A young Soldier, probably about my age.
With rifle in hand we quavered,
My head, urging me to engage.

waiting for ignorant prey. Tired of seeming interested in conversations that are one sided,

something must be done even if they 
know the sins of their own country. 
It is easier to be morally...
