Americana's
music for the common man
Touching heart and soul
Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man"
What motivates world
are the phenomena ...
To the common man
the heart...
To the bird,
the highest flight
To the poets,
all the reasons ...!
A common man with bad intent,
can damage and do harm
But a genius with an evil heart
—makes hell-fire seem lukewarm
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

To the world,
drives the
phenomena...
To the common man,
the heart demands,
to the bird the abyssal
flight...
To the poet...,
All reasons...!
A man as common as others
create a story to tell, it covers
with common action no one sees
fore he keeps to himself it be
no other way to change that
and to be him not as good....
Form:
and dancing to the edge
again and again,
we watch with wonder
his startling grace
the profound
sentimentality,
an almost common man
balanced on a unicyle
juggling humor,
and humanity.
The wise and the common man successful would be considered
If
Each one achieves the best his abilities allow him to accomplish!

I'm just so common

Haiku
from anthology “Actually Happening My True Testimony Reality”
In their world of senseless thought, I plead,
A dance of reason with an unthinkable mind.
Words like waves against the oceans rocky shore,
I must strive to find a common floor.
Patience, the compass to guide my hand.
Being unable to think like a just common man.
There is a great difference in how suffering is seen by
The common man and by the wise:
The first perceives it as a calamity threatening to destroy him
The second regards it as an opportunity to grow and to thrive!

New year has come and gone
It's time to get back to the old chores and the grind
A new dawn
Merriment ceased
For the common man who needs work
And pleased
To take
The entire year
Break
New year has come and gone
For the common man who needs work
Break
TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.
UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?
Hair like swan feathers,
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.
What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president.
Women are costly commodity..
So costly to the common man..
But Affordable to the Affluent..
Women are currently moved by currency..
They trade themselves for the currency..
To cure their current state of lack and high taste ...
And deem you surplus to requirements when you're sleazy..
Like any common man I grope
And struggle to survive and be
Bold with Dignity and Hope
For life is hard and not so easy.
But this I say has made me braver
My hardships laid the lessons learned
Gave Wisdom, insight, character
My joy complete, sincerely earned.

Poetry turns from the common man,
Turns on its arrogant heel,
Stalking away toward the cloistered academe.
Nothing is duller or deader than
Poets unable to feel
Love—or compassion, or dream the lofty dream.
Thus poetry turns from you, from me,
And talks to itself, indulgently,
And nobody hears. Quite understandably.
If a poem is not in rhythm
is the poet a common man
I guess the question really is
does the reader understand?
I can say a million miles
have been walked on end
but motionless footsteps
always stop where they begin.
The end has come at the
beginning do you follow?
I'll figure out how to start
a rhythmic poem tomorrow

REPRESENTATION
envisaged
a
basis
to
speculate
on
a potential
to
the
unrepentant
a
tour de force
of
magnaminity
exasperated
throughout
strikingly
infifferenct
where
the
bleak
stark
survive
in
the
realm
of fantasy
an
embodiment
of
progress
in
a
watchful
outing
of
the prosperous
&
the
common man
Would you like to know me
As I yearn to know of you?
You will find me in my poetry
If you have the proper view.
So read each verse, and carefully,
For I am hiding there--
Sometimes a rose; sometimes a bee,
Or a breath of autumn air.
Still I am but a common man;
I am sometimes fierce--or mild--
A father and a gentle soul...
And ever still, a child!

Blissful ignorance
A vacuous affair
Mind numbing atrophy
Life without a care
Cloud dwelling dreams
Of a world less realized
The pyramid schemes
Of a world materialized
Land of the free
Home of the incarcerated
The money wheel keeps turning
Our debt exacerbated
Before it's too late
Do what you can
To save what's left
Of this common man
Fears and fantasies entwine
to make a whole picture of life.
We fantasize a life of love...adventure...incredible achievements
as we soar far above the common man,
to a level that no man has ever
gone before.
We stand at the edge of the surf
but alas,
we are too timid to place
a toe in the water!

Before I die
I want a mouth filled with gold teeth.
So, when they excavate me after a thousand years.
They'll think I was royalty-maybe even a king-
To fool an archeologist (grave robber) I think is a noble thing.
Good kings should be buried like the common man.
No monuments or pomp-- Purple garments or crowns.
Just a simple pine box in the cold-cold ground-
This morning I listened
To the simpleton and the sapient man preach
Yet as they orated to
All we who came to listen and imbibe
I was lost
There was no distinguishing
One voice from the other.
Later as I pondered
All that which was spoken
Spewed aimlessly upon us
I knew that I could not agree
With that which was said
By the simpleton.
P.oor men suffer all the injustices in pains
O.rders never fit in with their plans
L. abour day and night but ea like ant
I. nappropriate weather conditions, bombing and restlessness
T. otal bondage for the common man in the street
I.mportant riches of the economy to the rich
C.orruptions a blessing in disguise among the looters
S. ave our soul we all pray and watch
