Sleepless in my room,
The sound of constant thunder
And a ceaseless wind;
Even the stars are weeping
As vengeance consumes the sky.

(Tree speaks to thief)

They chopped off my upper limbs, to shed more light on the lower 

As they will amputate those hands, now your light fingers grow slower

Peace For Me Now

	after Baghdad

On the table by the window
balanced on its spine 

this leaflet
butterfly open

and still as a 
butterfly.  

Peace for me now 
zephyr through leaflet.

Peace for me soon
caribou and snow,

loping caribou 
and caribou reclining.

The man wrote a story called "A Little Local Color"
Excellent tale of New York at the turn of the century
Lived a short but fabulously successful life
He was a man who wrote tale after tale 
Told of  the moods of NYC 
Creating echoes of  Baghdad on the Hudson 
Which will last for countless years
Into the future.........

 Playing Football - A Children's Poem


There once was a lad from Baghdad

who sat in dad's Porsche, a fad.

He liked to play footie

with ball he'd got sooty,

so messed up the car for his dad.

Willy was a thief of Baghdad
                              One night he stole a pen from dad
                                      Dad called the police
                                       Willy looked owlish
                            Poo-tee-weet-too  he vanished so sad

Raining today 
   in the big apple 
  Yes, this metropolis is still here 
Despite the 
    fact 
that 
we 
have 
   been attacked 
Yes, the masses of people 
still long to visit 
this "Baghdad on the Hudson"
as O.Henry named it 
It is not Paris, Tel Aviv or London 
But it is the place 
   I call home 
Personally I think this city 
will survive ,flourish and grow...

I saw a man going down the street,
I thought it odd, he had no feet.
I saw a woman by a newspaper stand,
I thought it odd, she had no hands.
I saw a girl smelling a rose,
I thought it odd, she had no nose.
I hadn't gone another pace,
I saw a boy who had no face.
I saw it all, such a disgrace,
To set of a bomb in a marketplace.

For the Innocent People of Baghdad.

hate knows no limits
Boston or Beirut Bombings
innocent ones die

in Paris or Pakistan
atrocities unlabeled
innocent ones die

Baghdad or Berlin
Lives should have the same value
innocent ones die

innocent ones die
religion or politics~~~
extremism kills

Terrorism reigns
the world is no longer safe
innocent ones die

say a prayer for all
terror plays no favorites
innocent ones die

Upstairs there are naked women 
    Believe me - I like that!
This city can eat you alive if you let it
Sexworkers have a terrible time of it 
The lure of porn and prostitution is a part of our metropolis 
     I live on the Island of Manhattan 
Which is an exciting and dangerous place
           as night falls on "Baghdad on the Hudson" 
the demi monde comes to life 
     I have left that world behind me!...

This world of ours slips in an evil stream
As we continue on in this demented dream
We have married a selfish bride
That has so much to hide
Our great president worships her
The holy trinities bless her
And yes those tea parties in England just go on
As the skis over Baghdad burn
She has her ways
Running our cars
Making life so nice
But our monetary slice does take so much
And Oh
She is so slippery
So dark
So maniacal
She lives to consume
This bride 
The true God
