“Violence broke out again last night
in Gotham…
“No arrests have been made”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
We should plant more trees
In the cities of the world
Beside the roads
And on the roofs of buildings
To reduce air pollution
theyer bright
its blinking sight
in cities and town
all around
hiways and biways
that lights up the nights
HOLIDAY LIGHTES
receding darkness
uncovers
the cities cold
bright sun
on bearded snow

These marmots of South Africa
Build cities underground.
The youngsters roam around in bands …
But I don’t know how they sound!
Flight from the cities
excerpts from my hearts of hope
my best memories
keeper of the forever flame
before the ancient Green mile
ancient Roman roads
faded pathways to greatness
strong hillside grape vines
walled cities slowly crumbling
winemakers craft endures
look around
see homeless on the ground
don't stand frown
theyer cities and towns
don't just be stareing
its
CAREING AND SHAREING
it had to done
and we won
going up high
around the sky
to cities and towns
plane set down
at was at night
it was a
FREEDOM FLIGHT
thyer all around
cities and town
here and far
theyer the star
some needs money in hands
put out the can
PLAING SINGING
GUITAR MAN
OIL SPILL
Says car radio
“Oil spill on the Yellowstone”
Why I’m feeling ill
And great cities smoke away
Fat merchants blink at breakfast
Demolished cities; citizens panic
Liquidation is here; leaders are manic
Casualties increase; hope is diminished
Faith is lost; Life is finished
this was built on slavery
the buildings the roadsthe cities
the films the music the art
the religions the philosophies
all came from slaves
So many cities
flattened by angry waves
wind-borne suffering.
[Originally penned as response to someone's poem here, but altered a tiny bit]
Charles John Huffam Dickens
wrote many novels where the plot thickened
but one of his best ditties
was A Tale of two Cities
Dark alleyways loom,
Within the dreamtime cities;
Foreboding horrors;
Of which I dare not mention.
Beware alleyways of mind.
.....broken cities
arise from the ashes of
broken families
arise from the ashes of
broken cities
arise from the ashes of
broken families.....
David Copperfield's Great Expectations
Oliver Twist's Hard Times

The wild flower
the wild
flower
loudly
flourishes
but deaf
sober
intoxicated
by cities
we cannot
perceive the
miraculous
rumble
empty streets fading
cities remain mostly closed
drive slowly dying
helpless and upset
continue life and living
running out of food

as you shop
on eac block
around cities oor towns
it smoke makes you jokes
and fires that's
make the stuff bust
its HOLIDAY
FIRES AND CHESTNUTS
we are birds of chaotic cities
our screams are our crowing
we have been in pain forever
our heavy-duty wheel
we are the ruins of the Lost Continent
violence
