Long Wimps Poems

But as he’s had some time to “chill”. 
A fellow with a changing heart.

Slow and steady that growth this Land,
Of the free and brave at hand,
Manliness runs along,
In his heart a woman’s song,

To her husband does she sing,
Strengthens him when war bells ring,
He fights for justice, stands a’talls,

Is forgetting...

Another take-off, another landing,
Sleep can just wait.
Resting is for wimps, 
we live for the rush, which adrenalin will always bring.

Then one day, out of the blue,
It hits you – a reminder
Of who and what we...

Horrors of War

I can see the sky exploding, falling overhead
Filling us with horror and dread
Killing innocent people in the name of religion, race and creed

The rat-a-tat-tat of gunshot, was suddenly surrounding me
It was much to my horror that my husband bought the game
And to watch my boys playing it, nearly...

when struggle for the right comes to a head
erupting to a world in need of war
and needing change to how we've made our bed!

   Listening to the latest stereophonic sounds
Speakers booming their tunes and melodies

Better read history of WW ll!
Racism, plus fear of a bug were
quite effective then, too.
Malaria was created, and placed
in mosquitos.
Hoping to wipe out populations in toto.

Heinrich Himmler used Catholic priests?
On which mosquitoes did so happily...

On the skids with no brakes,
thankfully, a memory;
that began with falling,
falling over and over again,
with bruises that healed;
such is childhood.

I tried to attack the slippery slope,
challenged by youtube videos
that I could wisely imbibe;

Collaboration with Marcello Eans

Take that, you silly people; rain, sleet, wind, and snow.
Two to three feet, knee high, thirty below.
Funny creatures with warm blood can’t handle the cold.
Three years, fifteen, even forty years old.

Life isn't made for quitting
Life isn't nice
It doesn't give you challenges for no reason
But life gives you obstacles for strength
If you can't succeed
You won't be reward
And you'll never change
Then you're just.....there to WATCH life
Life isn't...

I already know! The dogs and I have run outside.
My arms are outspread. I am dancing; they are jumping, excited.

Through the past, each and every 
Along the bumpy tracks

Conclusion

So, there it is.  We’ve had a little glimpse
into the human life of one straight street,
where wants and wishes wash and clash and meet
(should fans of Wimpole Street be known as “wimps”?)

In this world of fake things
Where nothing is real

Nothing is authentic
And the market rules us all

There is no room 
For real friendship

We are all using each other
To get ahead

So we pretend to be friends
