Iron Rations
A time to rake; to search embers, for fingerprints and the scorched optics of the scattered and blind. After the violence, fagots, and reeds are heaped up into pyres, but first the sorting, the probing for trinkets of flesh. A silver crucifix, smutter tarnished, lays blackened by the avid impetus of quick flames, it is held up, by a tattered man of woe, he calls out: "I...

You are keeping me on short rations Do you think it can put down my weight Or you could be short on elations Cause its either too early or late When I’m knocking at your window Every time it is shuttered for me You put down your head to a pillow I’m out there, by the oak tree You don’t...

Daily Rations of Hay
Daily Rations Of Hay With our fine country only becoming, more multi-racial and culturally-diverse, stagnation and division, seem only to be on the increase. Supporting this more than sad trend, are the leaders, sitting at the very top. In spite of being older myself, y nature, and with women most definitely on the rise, I think one solution, that could very well be, is to take all the...

TRYING TIMES ENVIRONMENTAL RATIONS Calming ever so soothing lasting hours Environmental rations times trying power Hours turns the ticking clocks into years So much dangers so many troubling fears Trying times do rise mountains Sun sets still falls over horizons Calming ever so soothing lasting radiant flowers Bee's butterflies pollinate before rain showers Sun sets still falls over horizons Trying times do rise mountains And among...
