Pushing against all perceived accepted norms
Uncaring of civilian or animal deaths
Turning to war without cause
Invading Democratic Ukraine
Nazi faux propaganda...

Cannot Refute

Civilian clothes are worn by a recruit
Which soon will become a military suit
And are so proud to wear
While having short hair;
Best service in world cannot refute.

Does a classical-band ever howl?
It has been said a classical-band’s odd.
Yet as the coarse strippers revolved
And the sallow evening faded,
A civilian said she heard the classical-band howl
When the lips of dawn had matured....

March for Our Lives Parade Poem 1

Weapons in civilian life  must be vacated,
When we do realize that they are related;
Does instill,
Desire to kill;
By prfoits NRA is always being motivated.

You can ebter this into any contest that
you want to....

Conundrum 

Modern medicine 
Quick evacuation of wounded soldiers 
On the battlefield 
Keep the death rates of warriors down
And we accept the losses.

But it also makes wars last much longer 
To the detriment 
Of civilians caught up in countries where 
Warfare happens. 
 And civilian deaths are disregarded....

terror filled morning
two felled towers shook the earth
darkness obscured sky

they answered the call
that bright September morning
for some was their last

badged and civilian
a nation’s colors shone bright
heroes every one

united purpose
all brothers for common cause
the day the world changed...

No dream I do not have you.
No relation goes beyond you.
The whole world is on one side
and one side,you are beauty.
If you are you do not lack anything.
Hey all my world is with you.
You are my Queen of heaven.
My world is your civilian.
No form like your anywhere.
No moon ahead of you somewhere.
The whole world is on one side 
and one side,you are beauty....

Events beyond our ken and control
   trigger nausea in our soul
Incidents of abusive police attacks
   lead to destructive civilian blowback

Feelings well up from deep within 
   that media hucksters know how to spin
Those who'd like to offer solutions
   drowned out by violent voice pollution

Peaceful towns reduced to rubble
   America's heartland in grave trouble...

The invasion upon us
attacked by a neighbor
no village is safe
their scourge overruns

The enemy dressed
as civilian turistas
our border wide open
and freely they come

No shots have been fired
or prisoners taken
the keys to our arsenal
willingly loaned

Our schools now infested
with quotas bespoken   
surrounded and cornered
—the fault but our own

(McAllen Texas: September, 2022)...

Cloaked in a Civil War Cape
Swaggered the fierce
And fearless and cavalier shape:
Proud Ambrose Bierce.

Editor, author and wit,
Bierce had the zest
And courage and cunning to fit
Well in the West.

Then when his days dwindled lean,
Bierce rode away;
Old Mexico swallowed him clean,
Gulping her prey.

Cynics like him are the last
Men to seek fame,
So bitterness out of the past
Still dims his name....

The world today

The world is in a position of extinction of the masses
No one can cloak this so the super powers kill lower classes
Another name would be genocide deliberate civilian tragedies 
Words are used like uprisings and liberation rebel alliances
When the real words are freedom fighters that live amongst dictator armies
This should be a time for revolution instead we stand by and watch ignominies ceremonies....

Listen to poem:

Civil Rain
David J Walker


I could see it from a distance
The stroke of midnight looming

When this OD Green façade would
Dissolve in a civilian rain

How ya-gonna-act
	Who will you be
What will you take home 
Besides pain

I am my own blurry memory as
The chemical color 
representations 
Fade within the frames 

Drinking up 
	      The familiar cup
Of civil rain

And a prayer for each passing day...

Redemption 
The dogs barked hysterically in the night
Not a normal warning of a dog trying to sneak in
Dog do not know charity unless thought by man 
to show sympathy.
Light came on people of faith crossed themselves 
something like a wave had passed through the village
it was the ghosts of soldiers who had fought
and killed many civilian, now seeking redemption.
Unforgiven forever marching trying to find a sanctuary...

A civilian on the battlefield, 
A soldier among his people,
He is even a child of two parents.

He is still but a soldier,
nothing more, nothing less.

A warrior in life,
A citizen on the frontlines.

We are all soldiers for our countries,
nothing more, nothing less.

Humans are all fighting for the sake of returning home,
To be a soldier, not for war, but for peace.

For each person is but a soldier,
Nothing more, nothing less....

The rockets rain down again
With explosions ripping then
And the war dogs growl and rage
With another war in Palestine’s page

Hamas strikes and kills 
With civilian blood that spills
Do we see justice again 
Or just more hearts hardened then

There are justifications made on each side
With fists pumping against what they cannot abide
And what is left for the world to see
Faces pleading staring back at me.

       the murder of twelve-hundred civilian Israelis
       ~ an occasion for celebration with glee

Forbidden nectar taste so sweet 
She smiles as I play in her garden of eden 
Her lips pucker anxiously, but her face remains completely still 
Body grabs have escalated dramatically 
Slow and steady has transitioned into aggressively rapid 
She is the completion of a strenuous journey 
To go where many have only dreamed 
Selective service of pleasure 
Duty calls for the firm and rigid soldier 
Playing civilian, she salutes for her commanding officer 
Yes Sir!...

if I know,
Not really though,
I don't even trust my judgement as far as I can throw.

What the hell do I know?
I mean,
My abilities are there,
But my determination is zero.

Motivated to stay sober,
But adulting?
How is it so hard to be my own hero?

If I don't do something about this rage quit demon,
I'll become the villain.
I want to hold a job,
To be a productive civilian.
I want to have that little slice of normalcy,
Of inner peace
And personal intimacy....

Awfully Cold

One of our hopes is that Isle of Man
Might become part of our cruise plan
Which will be with the Princess Line
More we hear about is mighty fine.

We have heard that part of the course
Long time ago was cruised by the Norse
And instead England never did ignore
Keep civilian prisoners was used for.

Your indigenous isle has hills and dales
And is even close to country of Wales
For maybe a few who seem to be bold 
All round water is always awfully cold.

For Jan Allison...
