nikita caspan..What a toilet pan.' Murders parents is a satanist, taking nazi instructions, to kill Mr Trump; next was the plan.!
the balance of power
When Kennedy lit Nikita's cigar
no one said
Nikita, smoking is not a good thing for you
America could not accept a foreign power
so close to the American shore
and quite rightly so
Russia did the right thing and pulled out
Nikita noticed the young president's hands
trembled and smiled
yes, it had been a hard call
both men respected each other
Today in Ukraine, the situation is the same
but America's leaders show no concern
damaged is done to Russia
not understanding her new leader
will not back down
the reason is vanity and pride from
America's side
by calling out Putin's bluff
we will live to see
world war 3
I see that your life has had many interruptions
Due to misguided assumptions, faulty guidance,
And a lack of fundamental education from the start.
You were thoroughly indoctrinated in orthodox mythology
And kept sheltered from the cold harshness of the truth.
You are particularly religious in most everything you do.
You make a dedicated service of ritual and routine,
As a sacramental passage from yesterday to tomorrow.
You are religious to a fault, but not at all spiritual.
You have learned to survive without vain superstitions.
How many angels, saints, and unicorn saviors
Could dance on the back of a crackerjacks box
While you faithfully watched Davey and Goliath
Before you went to mass every Sunday morning?
When you’ve found the answer to that, go tell it on the mountain.
People leave like seasons change
Followed by grief and sadness
Tears flow, a chaotic scene
Reminding myself of the madness
Wrenched away in the nick of time
Loving this hard and this much
Is reserved for the one, with care in their heart
For all of me and such

Original:
The Tsunami of Loss
I lose people, and amid the tsunamis
of grief and sadness that follow,
I remind myself, when finally chaos tears dissolve
and the aftermath of thoughts is allowed:
“Silly child, you should know better
than to love anyone this much by now,
every time you have loved this hard and this much,
you know it will be wrench away from you somehow

"Every day will be better and better, Comrades!"
--thus Nikita Krushchev to Soviet citizenry, nightly on TV
before suddenly disappearing from public view in 1971
"Every day in every way I am getting better and better."
--thus (former mental patient) Inspector Dreyfus
before his unfortunate demise in the 1976 film
'The Revenge of the Pink Panther'
What do you think? Was there a link?
When all's said and done, there's more to be done and said
Like how's our dear Mary, hope her fungus hasn't spread
And what about poor Thelma
With her deviated antenna
And poor Nikita, fresh radishes growing on her head
BEST IS ONLY NIKITA
SHE EAT BUTTER OTHER FEEL BITTER
OH SHE IS THE BEST
SHE IS BARBIE OF BEAUTY
SHE IS THE BEST IN
THE WHOLE UNIVERSE
SE IS THE BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST
SHE IS BEST HENCE I SHOULD ALSO BE BEST
lost in the forest of life
confused which road to follow
feeling so scared and hollow
not knowing where to go
which is wrong and which is true?
though there are too many
am not satisfied with any
so scared to walk alone
my dreams are no longer known
there is not a destination I desire
my heart no longer bears hope fire
all my dreams diminished
all my trials in vain shattered
am so lost in that forest

She’s that lady, who fills the house with love,
She that lady, whose presence is felt,
The mother of my beloved Nikita
Nothing will ever bring us apart and I will always be at her side,
If worst comes to worst I would fight for her even if it was the last day on earth
The reason I stand tall and walk with her majestically to my pals,
She’s like a gold coin that never fades,
Always giving to others what they need,
To those who have no home, no fire to warm them in the cold dark days,
Her beauty comes from all dimensions like a visible shining pillar,
A pillar she stands tall for those she loves and cares for,
She Speaks her mind what’s good and what’s bad, the first critic when work is done poorly
She fights for love and always gets what she wants,
She’s like a big dolphin that saves those that drawn in their own misery in this ocean of life.
I just hope Nikita turns out to be like her.
" Nakita's Breeze "
Nikita speaks of rainbows blue,
Much as we do try so too.
Her grass is seen with morning's dew,
Yet she rimes as so we few.
Hers is day of lightning bright,
Imagination is her night.
Yet we speak as she we do,
Nakita though does pen it true.
Her moon so clear,
Her sunset near.
That which so we hold dear,
Of this she writes bereft of fear.
Her bear immersed within her verse,
Penguin seen to sea traverse.
Yes indeed Nakita's breeze,
That which once we found with ease,
As hers just now it does us please.

My mother is a kind of person on the planet
Who cannot watch movies on tv or the internet
Because she thinks they're real.
I tell her of the video shoots
And say it's just a movie.
She leans back and at me she hoots
'My boy don't be a rookie'.
And so I linger with the rest
Of borrowed video tapes.
Mama home like a house arrest
My mocking brother gapes.
I still can't watch Spartacus,
Vampire Diaries nor Nikita.
Daily we watch In Focus
From Voice of America.
