War Is a War Crime
Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -
though gods provoke, not one atones.
The multitude (by hordes beset
with battle-ax or bayonet)
braved blades, dyed red...

Soft as gentle summer rains,

To confer with the wounded boys

Letters To the Lady
Troop ships loading, crowded docks
Mums and sisters waving off
Go with keepsakes, golden locks
Some men hug while many doff
Eric, soldier single stands
Beryl, lonesome widow cares
Many kissing holding hands
Eric stands and Beryl dares
Bump the soldier, make excuse
Apologizing...

And eleven became by the time it was through.

He’s not changed the channel for so very long
The message on screen says a shut down’s ensuing
But press any button to carry on viewing
The remote, untouched on the...

the depths of our humanity,
but in the light of desert days
the shades of death will quite amaze.

I go to church each Sunday,
God warns ‘there’s much to fear,
the world is decomposing,
the final end is near’.
I go to church each Sunday

though elsewhere on our globus
raw hunger reigns instead.

Feeling myself silently camouflaged
in a sedate...
