I stare piteously at my grandkid-
kid jumping with aggressive joy
at each completed level of
a mindless game displayed
on the computer screen,
played by hitting a key
repeatedly, with hands trembling
will-less I crane my neck
to look upwards through rows of
buildings, all I see is
A handful of stars in a hazy,
un-naturally
lit-up bright night sky
less cared by many bumbling lives
Each innocent night, every
night as a child, I used to
sit by my father who
made up stories divine on
group of stars
a line, a mat, a dog so like
animated with my awesome nods
I used to hear his voice
till I drooped like a feather
sound asleep, sleep
so pure, so restful
even angels smiled
and twirled then
in my dreams with colorful streams
That serene childhood
filled with fun, with love
rich with truth, with honesty
that angel sleep,that angel dream
can never be passed on
can never be re-lived
through our children, ever again

One plus one is 3 when there is a baby conceived.
I recall feeling so lost as the butterfly feeling in my tummy
Felt so powerful so magical so wonderful and terrifying
How can one plus one equal three?
If you follow God's lead.

Lovable he was when I first met him,
Also shy but savage with words,
His smile is something I've never seen before,
I was mesmerized,
You could call it love at first sight,
Or is it admiration,
Talent I've seen,but non like his,
Attraction he wields,
Longing I feel,
A ray of light,
A courage to fight,
A friend for life,
A love of a life,
A fire untamed,
Yoongi min is his name.

On the Outback Downs of Queensland
There is the strangest light
I have seen it first hand
And it sure gave me a fright
I was camped out while Lamb Marking
On the Downs out Corfield way
Hot days with sheep dogs barking
We sure did earn our pay
On one eve when days work done
We sat around a fire
Telling yarns, let our tongues run
Leant back against the wire
As I looked out in the distance
The night was black as pitch
A light with some insistence
Gave my interest an itch
I knew that there was nothing there
Only us for miles around
What was this light, gave us a scare
Some six feet from the ground
I got up, had another look
I called for volunteers
Let's go take a butchers hook
But all I got was jeers
I walked away out to the side
Until it disappeared
We still see it here they cried
Now that was pretty weird
So make your own mind up about
That Queensland Min Min light
I can say there is no doubt
Was on the Downs that night

Those secs that sizzled!
Infinity lies perturbed
Zilches the present...
Many miles of love...
It’s extraordinary
No regrets at last!

Strong as a beast,
The best career that everyone would feel envious.
For him there isn't end,
And he is copious.
Has responsibility,
needs to control and motivate the team.
Has humility,
but in his mind has stubborn self-esteem.
The representative of our country,
has pressure by the word "captain".
Doesn't react to plays that are grungy,
That's the perfect action for "captain".
Thank you my hero,
for being my hero.

2 minutes to midnight -
A nuclear weapon of mass destruction
has been set off coming down from the dark
heavens heading a collision to spark
on part of the world spreading obstructions.
Direct destruction throughout cities by
the nuclear blasts; there isn't enough warning
to evacuate. There isn't anything
we can do. "Lord, grant us the strength to die!"
We sit huddled together embracing
whispering, I love you to each other.
That's the part that stings most; undercover
of the dark knowing what we were facing.
We never know how long we have in life;
we need peace between countries free from strife.

Random thought on ten minute clock as been deleted and rethought
from a more steady mind then th one of mine
I held all those years ago and for the waisted time
you may have spent on that ryme I really apologize
You see you dont really see the things your saying
not when your overmedicated your mind is gone and you are just
litigating between the voices in your head trying to have some peace
your just trying to clear your head get some rest and go to bed
I cant really relate to myself and who I was
and I cant remember the person that came before
down south fat boy who had a lot of fun it not the memmories
that miss me but the way i handled the activities how social I was
So next time if you happen to be in a crowd
and you see someone awkward and hear people talk about them in the crowd
take the time to speak to them and get past their wall
they are the best friends you will ever find so dont be so proud

and who's the lucky gardener?
ron rico
and his men
are done
at it again...
I can feel testiment
and au(ra)-ration
should I not speak
on this station?
sol given such
gyration
i give you
the Emancipation of a Nation!:
freedom under tongue
meaning
not from the sun
not from the glow
nor the under-toe; but
increasing pressure
against every fissure
straining beaches into pulp...
and swallowing
golden giving
with one gulp...
L'America in hysteria...
"get loose" (Jim Morrison)
