The Bugle's RestThe bugle sleeps, a mournful, hollow sound,
As silence falls upon this hallowed ground.
For those who fell, beneath a foreign sky,
Who gave their all, for freedom, and to die.
A moment's hush, for hearts that ceased to beat,
For dreams unfinished, victories incomplete.
For green fields, now stained with crimson red,
For voices still, and...

Remember Their LightThe air grows still, a nation's breath held deep,
A Memorial Day promise, sacred to keep.
For fallen soldiers, heroes of the past,
Whose shadows linger, memories that last.
In solemn hush, we bow our heads in thought,
Of battles waged, and freedoms dearly fought.
They gave their all, on fields of sweat and pain,
A sacrifice...

For the love of a lieutenantTell me that story again,
The tale of love and self-sabotage,
Of doubt and valour,
Of hearts and corruption,
Where the days are adventure and the nights are a dream,
The danger is adrenaline and the work is never done,
We stand together on the brightest days,
On the coldest nights,
On your side I stood, though times changed
Tell me those...

Operation Sindoor
“The Fire They Awoke”
They came in silence, hearts grown cold,
To strike peaceful tourists, young and old;
With coward’s hands, they spilled our blood,
And stirred our souls, to surge of flood.
From snowy peaks to desert land,
The lion roared on duty’s stand;
Steel in gaze and flame in chest,
The Indian Army rose in quest.
Not for glory, not for the...

People's Green Eyes InitiativesTrees are uncommon things in the desert
The common color you see is white brown
Where you account it as dried granule bones
For a long tedious pounding and eroding of time
Once upon a time lush green valley of lively hope
Now hopeless, devoid vast hot, empty valley of mirages
Its agony bring sandstorm and whirlwind to human
Telling as the...

Bad ideas never dieSocial Media influencers on the racist right
said us Jews control radio and TV
That we rot the roots of morality’s tree,
The implication is clear; there’s no society free.
One TV personality invited a guy
who spouted reasons for Hitler's views
As the real deal, I wonder why
So much dumping on the Jews
They talk of the 'noticing' -...

Sometimes In Silence I'm Being ParanoiaSometimes, I dream of lying on the bed
Being silent, falling asleep,
Waking up and not talking to anyone.
I lie down and keep silent
I think about what is happening
Every day in my country,
In my friends' country and in the world.
Then, I want to screw up and down
Finally, flower gardens save and help
For the first...

We Are OneRed and white glory freely flies
Mapleleaf, strong and proud, framed by bright blue skies
From glacier fjord to mountain stream
Over fields of gold and trees of green
Nothing is more beautiful to see
Than that red maple leaf flying free
The simple flag is our greatest treasure,
Heralding a nation beyond measure
There is nothing I would rather be
than an honored...

Freedom RingsFreedom Rings
I am a US citizen
Born and bred iin the USA
I fight for the right of all
And stand tall each day.
I stand against all wrong
My skin color matters not
All those who disagree
Soon will pay when caught
Freedom still rings here
In our land of the USA
I stand and fight for freedom
As needed each...

Lines in the DustIn the summer heat of '47's cry,
A line was drawn beneath the sky.
Not ink, but blood, not words, but flame—
Two nations born, but none the same.
Fields once golden, shared with grace,
Now whispered names in a stranger’s place.
Neighbors turned to fleeing feet,
Homes abandoned, hearts incomplete.
The Ganga wept, the Indus roared,
As trains of silence onward soared.
One carried...

Political Foolishness!
Democrat/Republican? USA can't you see?
God is saying "Look up! and pay attention to me!"
They are only humans and both full of flaws!
Puffed up with ego's while creating man's laws.
I am Creator! All will answer to Me!
I am Maker of them, earth and the sea!
I gave mankind freewill to make their own choice.
But if you want...

Ode to the Motherland

Namibia is my most beloved country,
Like it is a marvellous Beulah land
With a mighty will, great glory
So, be glorified, my free Motherland.
From red sand deserts to the shining shores
And the sun gives me its setting,
Echoes of...

Virtual Insanity Becomes World Reality
Virtual Insanity Becomes World Reality
The accursed news, so obviously painful to this poetess!
That we earthlings decided were in need no of divine intervention.
Yes…wanting none of God's love or, attention?
Oh, indeed some not only scoff but pay no heed to God’s direction?
Get real,my intellectually bright friends!

A legacy forgottenConsider my grave your resting place too,
An empathetic soul who rests here.
Worry not poet, it haunts no more,
Covered with maggots, I've rotted here for a while.
These sockets are now emptied, I see nothing to judge.
With my brains swallowed,
I am no critique.
Only bones adorning dirt and bugs.
Justitia, you can call me.
Lend me your ears and I'll...
