Booby trapped within apartment unit b44

Circa August 18th, 2021
three bajillion years ago to date,
nevertheless I count blessings, 
so please do not hashtag me 
as worse than an ingrate 
or one whose dire financial straits

Into A Dark Raging Storm, Tempest And Hail


Into a dark raging storm, tempest and hail
alas, sadly all was to be to no avail.
Twelve pounders broke loose crashing about
some over the wind praying in a shout.

The Mermaid's Rescue

A lost and lone survivor of a sunken warship
 back into conciousness the sailor finally did slip
All alone in the vast, vast empty water prairie
 fleeting thoughts of home and his sweet Marie!

Hazy,...

I.	Creation

Before the troubles of the world infect the soul
The magic of imagination creates a womb
Devoid of torment, pain, and stress. Rainforests, 
Jungles, beaches, other worlds of elation where 
You are always the victor in battle,...

Sending the tending to an unfriended ending,
 yet somehow suspending from rending a newly offending recommending.
Logotype monotype linotype,
overripe stereotype,
 teletyped an unripe heliotype. 
Guttersnipe snipe,
 stipe snipe ripe,
 a wipe type a tripe, 
unleash a...

On the twenty fourth of February in twenty twenty two
Russia invaded Ukraine and fierce fighting did ensue 
Vladimir Putin it seems, wants to restore the iron curtain
And sadly he will succeed, of that it looks...

Gather your woeful garments
Move towards the sick slain valley
With a blank eyes of hot tears
List out the corrupted coroneted woes
Table the names of those massacred 
by Bokos, filter the good from the bad
until you bleed....

Let’s celebrate Pearl Harbor – and why not?
A pretext for a party?  It’s terrific!
It simply wouldn’t do if we forgot
that evil bid to conquer the Pacific!

There’s one aggressive nation, poised to strike:
it has, somehow,...

for George
"You always said you had little invisible friends,"
He wrote in a Christmas card one year, and Yes,
funny he would remember that.  I called them Shovel,
Hoe, and BicaBacaBoca, all of indeterminate gender,
like Arial in...

"Never Forget"

A brutal blow
From a foe.
Awoke a gentle giant.

With hatred fused.
Our planes were used
Like daggers while they chanted.

Hundreds of lives
They stole that day.
Of every religion and color.

Awakened to war.
On land ,sea, and shore.
Defending Americas honor.

Transforming...

The sunset was amazing,
Blinding,
Divine, wonderful!

Yet, standing on the ocean bed
Was a warship
Loaded, armed,
Ready to attack!

It felt like life on Earth had become hell
Now,
To fight shall we
To try to survive shall we
All else,
Dreams, secrets, longings,
Ambitions, love,...

In 3005 in the uncharted Dispision Galaxy

A pink and pale bluish midst and lava
Hearlds towards a deep; deep large ravine.
An explotion accures, ash and steam is sent
barreling to the sky;...

Battle lines are drawn with no word uttered to act,
just a couple of simple emotions pain and loss fuel  this fact.
Bloodshed on the people we thought we could trust,

"My Own Country"



I am my own country
these firm battlements
have delivered milk
like honey to a baby’s lips

traversing the landscape
these undulating hills 
are the alters men worshipped
now less than sacrosanct

pushed life forth territorial
like vice admiral commanding battalion...

My heart beg for mercy
Cos, you are beauty and love

Your mercy is everlasting...

UP   TOO  CLOSE


When I was three I was taken   
To a shipyard for the launch, 
The graceful wetting of a ship -
Elegant sweep of a warship,
Huge yet sleek,  strong...

For Aleppo

What is the joy of war if not the fragments
 of blood sprinkled unholily on the ground?
Aleppo has seen this braveness and succumbed
that the testament lies in the swords and armours.

Seven religions Rule the world...
Praying since a little boy or girl 
Praying up to 5 times a day,
 to keep science's away.
All ask for the same prizes. 
Be like us don't be yourself.

A warship she is, this ship of gray, 
Underway, underway, making way. 
The decks vibrate, the tone, the sound, 
Un-der-way-un-der-way, the pistons pound. 

On the horizon stands a singular mast, 
Un-der-way-un-der-way, make her fast.

Squat tooting tugs and barked commands,
Gruff sailors straining, lines cast off:
Our Stars and Stripes glide up proud mast,
This ship, vibrating, coaxed to life,
Brown river, churning, drifts behind …

Behind, behind, where spouses mope
From vantage on the...

by Maxwell Sebastian Burchett

Set sail on an ocean,
An unknown sea,
At times adrift, unknown destination,
No compass or charts to see.

No return to original harbor
I must sail on,
Perilous to halt, cannot anchor
In this ship not chosen.

Yet I...

War
In a kingdom full of combatants I heard a naval, military struggling
Combat
I am non violent And I am recovering
Death shall bring troops
'War!' said I, 'thing of jihad.'
Do they believe in God
Quite odd
And those eyes have...

UKRAINIE V'S RUSSIAN WARSHIP MOSKVA

Those laugh a minute Ukraine's, on being asked to surrender
Told the Russian's, "Go fook yourselves" in good old splendor

Survived to live another day; as released, prisoner exchange
Now that very same warship...
