You give with one hand,
then, with the other, detract;
I am starving still....

Z Z Top and Cousin It took the right approach
     Dark sun glasses and beards detract from scraggly hair
Next time my motley hairdo meets with reproach
     Combing forward I’ll consider, sparing the Nair

Sounds discordant around abound
We instantly react
Likewise for fearful thoughts that hound
Tranquility detract

Aversion and desire
Send to funeral pyre
Be free, aglow, afire

Crow’s caw mordant 
Sounds discordant

Sacred drum pounds in my chest
only for love,and nothing less
disappointments may have been many
still beat's strong and always ready
widening gaps' of seperation
does not detract my strength to lessen
my honor and gratitude,this life i'm given
in hope's for all a love enlighten.........

Should Start to Roar

Like a great lion should start to roar

Even though you sin more and more

And people you don't want to detract

But call attention to this very fact.



It seems so difficult to do it all alone

Give God a call on your telephone

Here is a message I want to send

Thanks for being n the other end?.

Proudly those cocks prance
Circling the other in dance
Crassly they peck then strut
Sharp in beck and detract

Tilting their heads in study
Shrewdly they're each ready
Smooth and certain they deflect
No moment of regret to reflect

They hide greater feelings of pain
And show no anguish, only disdain
Colorful feathers bloody the street
But nothing would stop this pageant...

Sobering Fact

After we finally found each sobering fact,
Instead of from attention trying to detract;
Garner speed;
Take the lead;
A resolution to reveal truth must enact.

James Serious Mysterious Horn

The open door must be more than
just partially open but wide open.
Malaysia found remains of some 
of the dead sailors from McCain.
Understand that McCain had the
right of way....

What if all I wrote was rot
would anybody care one jot.
What if all I spelt was rong
would this detract from poet's song.
What if grammer too was flawed
would my writings come outlawed.
What if every theme I spoke
gave rise to thoughts that made you choke.
Would this detract from all I do
when writing such pathetic stew.
Or would you find it all just fine
if cloaked in rhythm and in rhyme.
