The Stealthy Wizard
By Curtis Johnson

Who is he who so dastardly  continues to displease heaven?
Who is he who failed in his attempt to rule via ursurpation?
Who is this timid one who stands in the way of his own                            advancement, but yet unduly influences civilizations?                                     Who is he who glides in stealth, who beguiles by fraud,
only to rule on the throne of wickedness?

His earthly reign began through deceit in a garden from a tree.
His operation continues through fear, but resistance compels him to flee.

It’s imperative that we give all ears to clearly listen and understand.
He is the one of whom we must decide to be either his foe or his fan.
He fell from heaven’s heights, and against him we must take our stand.
He is the cowardly and thievish artist of deceit.
He is clever, and the lying master of manipulation.
He never stands toe to toe to fairly fight like a man.

Like swift flying bats from darken caves,                                                       he descends like scavengers salivating the feast.
He intimidates near and far, and twists the truth.
He rips the innocence to threads like an angry beast.

Fear him not, because he has already been stripped of both his
earthly and heavenly title.  In the ultimate struggle for the human soul,                he was defeated and made an open show on top of a hill.
He now awaits his ultimate demise, and his final doom is certain.

When Life Gets Real With You That Is When You Will See Who Is Not

Different people, different lessons
Knowing the fake from the real is essential
This matter is certainly not inconsequential
Some people come into our lives as a blessing
And some come into our lives as a lesson

There are a lot of fake environments
The surroundings look good but
There is poison in the air!
During hard times
You will see who are your true friends
In essence, when life gets real with you
That’s when you will see who isn’t!

A friend that becomes an enemy
Was an enemy from the beginning!
While the earth is spinning
The enemy moves in stealth
An attractive feature is often your wealth
In reality, we need situations to show us who is genuine!

Different people, different lessons
Knowing the fake from the real is essential
This matter is certainly not inconsequential
Some people come into our lives as a blessing
And some come into our lives as a lesson

Premium Member The Veteran

I watched him 
shake although 
he was fearless
watching old 
war movies

falling to sleep 
on western films 
in his slumped 
over recliner
I studied him
 
as he opened 
sardine cans as if 
they were c rations
he fascinated me 
as we struggled
 
with his support socks 
due to his legs 
swelling up so badly
he never complained
paralyzed in one arm
 
if you asked him 
how he was feeling 
he'd quickly respond 
fantastic I'm fantastic
even when he didn't
 
seem fantastic rattling 
on his walking stick
he closed himself
off from the world
there was only

one photo hanging
sideways on his wall
it read purple heart
recipient Vietnam
this fragile man 

with eyes of a stealth
bomber wasn't just my 
dad, husband, neighbor 
or friend he was 
My American Hero

Tanks

The Meglomaniac of the year,
Maybe seeing his mortality,
Craving a way to ensure
A really lasting legacy,
Launches his tanks
Expecting might to be right.
Conscripts don’t beat patriots
Giving the Meglomaniac fright.
The promised quick victory,
The annexed state of slavery
Crumnbles and quivers in 
The face of Patriotic bravery.
Half a pound of tuppeny rice
As the cost of oil is rising
Costing more and more to fuel
A tank, which is hardly surprising. 
Combat continues with
Refined tactics and stealth,
Rumours and counter rumours
Of the Meglomaniac’s health.
Dictatorships don’t listen
Or tolerate the question why
So the rest of the world waits
For the Meglomanic to die.

Premium Member A Sailor Lost

Oh Sleepless night oh Glory be
The stealth of nature burdens thee
As winter washes o'er the stones
Your cold caress doth sear my bones
An unfurled sail on straining yard
The banshee howls, its breath bites hard
Tossed from main, to fevered waters
To the open arms of Neptune's daughters
Oh sea, oh pearl  oh wondrous treasure
Oh faith of mine, unmarked, unmeasured
No one I am, no one I've been
Fates overlooked, times overseen
The cold, the cold, right from the start
Pierces flesh and failing heart
Oh what of God, can he not see
My plight, my toil, oh Glory be
White horses race as noble steeds
Drawn breath from lungs no longer breathed
Your manic howls and fevered pace
Entomb my mind and ashen face
A sailor lost, as sailors must
No bed of clay, nor pillow dust
Unwatched am I from sightless bow
No comfort here will storm allow
My Cross to bear, this broken mast
Oh save me Lord, or make death fast
My cries unheard from ship nor shore
Will peal in vain, forever more!

Premium Member Give Me Clarity, Not Parody

Its a conundrum to me.? In Ukraine i see; farmers
Complaining they can't farm' because of wars harm
The E U did help, droppling tariffs no stealth.'
In Holland its different..There the farmers are punished
Net zero ' and soundbytes don't encourage' the rulers
Are hostile.' yet eye the farmers lands in ernest.' again
I hear of shortage of foodstuffs, because of whatever.?
Or is it really all bleather.? In Holland they can't farm for
To the eco, they could cause harm? Yet there is much
Green help to Ukraine uranium shells? all is fair game.' Its
Zippe de do dah..' no masks now though i note ho ha..'
With unsanition and war scars, i did see them initially 
2022 it just stunned me, i sense oxymoronica why would
Russia invade, in the plan-demic? Such a deadly epide
mic'
Its really not clear to me? Maybe others here could offer
Clarity.? Part the mud so I could see, any plan for humanity
For b evaluation it escapes me.' Apart from absurdity.!

Kansas Poem #4

Hey Hoss, slow down there!
No need to go so fast. Besides,
I don’t want to go 
to where you’re going, and
I don’t want to be seen 
to where you’re heading.
Hey Hoss, please turn this 
furious black thing around!
Kindly get me the hell out of here 
before it’s too late!
No, I don’t wish to see 
this row of blighted Chinese elms and dead leaves.
Nor hear the badly-sung songs 
of lost love and wild regret.
And, I refuse to see 
the bloody scratches of truth and beauty,
so scrumptiously etched 
with long blades on those splattered bricks;
Embedded there for the duration,
like the gum under your table;
Enmeshed there as the garnished gemstones 
of the myriad fountains in Kansas City,
Polished with grit, staid tenacity, and
the time-shorn murders in the wheat lands,
underground in the broad basements 
of purple smoke and black blood,
of silent stealth movements 
under bending eaves, and a watching moon.
No Hoss!, I don’t want to go 
to where you’re going.
Sorry, but we seem 
ineffably lost and sadly wandering, 
like a couple of dusty dudes 
groveling for the keys that match nothing.
No, I don’t want to go 
down that long Chinese lane. No!
Turn this furious thing around!
Here the people sit on long verandas and 
watch the strangers come and go.
They might notice two dudes like us and 
wonder what we’re doing there.
Sometimes I can hear 
a loud shrieking funeral going by on Highway 50.
And those same people are staring 
at the two caskets, and recognizing us inside!
Hey Hoss, slow down there!
No need to go so fast! Besides,
Time is not naïve, and Its retching Uncle
has left many a lover in the shuttered room, 
up there on the 2nd floor,
has poured many a shimmering glass, 
and licked many a teeming spoon.
Hey Hoss, ever take a morning break 
at Hartman’s Café back in the day? 
When the Clutters would drive by waving,
from inside their blue chevy impala, heading
to silent Garden City, and 
the cold wind blowing unheard there.
If you drive this black furious thing 
down that lane there, 
you will see it.
It sits like an old cat in the sun, 
going nowhere fast from its sealed post,
high upon these expansive wheat plains, 
under this dark, brooding, blood-thirsty sun, and 
an unforgiving watching moon.

Smooth paper lay up on the desk.
My thoughts were odd, but not grotesque.
Will robots take what I did write,
extracting words by dark of night?

The robot came with stealth today.
It took my thoughts and words away.
The words were mine and reas’ning clear.
I asked myself, “What’s hap’ning here?”

The robot comes with guile and theft.
When words are stripped, what then is left?
It takes what others’ work has grown.
Has often reaped, but never sown.

Don’t tell me now there is no chance.
My gaze is fixed, no way askance.
My apprehension grows each time
I see a robot pose a rhyme.

Premium Member Quicksand

The blue girl in blue arrived in the cold
For her paint, this late day in June,
With stealth and shade she quietly browsed,
Then walked straight into my room,

And when I went in, I stopped, I froze,
Naked, she stood up from the bed,
I reached my hand out, "Please stop, get dressed",
Were the only words that I said,

Why did she do it, I was so blind,
How could I not see this that day,
But worst of all was returning to work,
Not knowing what she would say,

"Buttercup, don't be silly, nothing happened OK",
I know she knows I said "No",
But from that day on she had planted the seed,
In quicksand for rumours to grow.

With Stealth and Guile

Never disagree with the Officer Class 
When you’re serving in the ranks,
Never disagree with the Officer Class
For you’ll never get any thanks.
They seem to think
The time they spent
Getting Commissioned
Makes them Omnipotent.
Heaven protect the squaddie
Who’s discovered to have been right
For the Officer Class hate the thought
Of an underling who proves to be bright.
The NCO learns as he earns his stripes
The approved way of how
To Impart common sense and wisdom
While appearing to kowtow.
You have to learn
And understand 
How to make them think
They’re in command.
No never disagree with the Officer Class,
Learn to manipulate them with guile.
No never disagree with the Officer Class
For they  get grumpy,  prickly, and hostile.
Ignore this advice
If you choose
But if you do, brother, 
You’re bound to lose.
