When Moses was warming his hands
God issued a set of commands
God etched them in stone
And heard Moses moan,
"The Rock of Elvis will rock bands!"

We each have a pistol and ammo
Issued by the company
Goes with the job for life
Only way out natural death or suicide
Take your pick you’re here now

Premium Member Catered To Threats

 Trump bombed Iran, a war he did start
 Now he tries to get peace on the chart
 While hedging their bets
 Iran issued threats
 So Trump hid in a catering cart

This man was so mean, he scared every child
Halloween was his big chance to go wild
  Kids rang his doorbell
  Screams issued from hell
And if a kid yelled ~ Why, he was all smiles

Trump Subpoena With Addenda

Trump Subpoena With Addenda

Trumped drowned  people from a marina,
And then later he was issued a subpoena;
To our surprise,
It included lies;
Attached to it had been a lot of addenda.

I'Ll Cry When I Can

Barney backpack,
Cowboy Boots,
Little tow-head
boy. 

Tasseled  hat, 
Winners robe,
Fine young

Issued backpack, 
Army boots,
Future straight

I'll be okay when
you leave, Then cry
when I can.

Premium Member Measuring Vice

A serving size they say is wise
Never issued a measuring cup
Nobody led with avoid demise
Here take a sweet nothing, yup!

How do you quantify gluttony?
Misrecognition from the start
Is it hunger or just bad company?
The hollow sale of a poisoned dart

I Overheard

I overheard harsh words
between two lovers next door,
each bearing shields
of mistrust and pride
that covered the words
‘I love you’.

Their door slowly opens
and her crying issued forth
upon this neighbor near
a memory fresh and clear
of words I never spoke
‘I love you’.

Zidane's Antics

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray 
French storm did Italians fend off fairly
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful
Zinedan Zidane zealous - headbutt was calous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch - victim o' Zidane
Red card issued - final curtain
Frenchies lose - Zidane for certain

Quarantined Abandon

Allowance is issued by allegiance 
Descent
De scenting the grain
Defection from account
The man above watches 
As open journal 
His story is carved
And reared 
Nearer grown abundant

Recital of vow and order
un adhered 
Ends actions statements
A fold is created

Company is kept seperate

The Call To Sleep, Saves

For sickness, for weariness
What, more world-fatiguing
Appals, too brightly aware
Through hot self-accusing stare
Will to live bores deep in

Seductive as a whisper
The call to sleep, saves.
Which great peace, issued from out
Which place, soft-winged, beds about
Child, stood guard o'er, craves.

Premium Member Bugger All Beggar

To town,
from town.

Clay patta, 
saffron civara.
Smoothened walking stick,
the companion of the unlonely
alone.
Downhill,
uphill.

Through clouds,
through fog.
Soles worn,
robes tattered.

Wake, rise...
Weary, rest...

This flesh, in truth,
the begging bowl
we each were issued.

Zidane's Follies

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray on Field,
Italian storm did French fend off fairly for a time;
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful,
Zinedan Zidane zealous; headbutt callous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch, 'nother victim o' Zidane
Red card issued, final curtain
Frenchies lose, Zidane for certain.

Premium Member No Survivors the Night the Faeries Died

Prophetically sorrowful
A nightmare of a dream
247 passengers inside
No survivors
Broken Wings of a 747
One sad night


Powerfully Invasive
The night the faeries died
Assault rifles issued to the brownies
Who decimated their broken wings
Taking their powers, and then taking them hostage
Sad faeries, hostage wives

Champagne Is the Savior of Man

Pregnant sky labors in misty cloud
Tenants of earth awaits the bath of life
Warrant is issued to eastern wind
Stagnant is earth and man's thrive


Rain now patters in Noah's days fashion
Vein shivers as cold infiltrates man
Pain enslave the worried thought and soul
Champagne is the savior of man

Bagram Airfield July 2010

bagram airfield july 2010

hushed ether of morning
huddled guardian warriors, arms aligned
early call to prayer sounds the blood to chill
arrives the entry check point white linen under issued desert garb
a steely eyed airman quick witted and quicker with sidearm
all hell breaks loose and all age 30 years in one hot minute

Empty Streets

Craving a poboy,
a women in Michigan
hangs her head and cries,
longing for a home
that no longer exists.

Dreaming of seafood,
Mardi Gras, snowballs
and jazz bands-
A man in Oklahoma
awakes in tears.

As one lonely jazz horn
floats a requiem
over empty streets,
and a pot of gumbo simmers
in a government issued trailer.

Premium Member Lured Into Her Lair

He was lured into her lair By her mesmerizing stare And while he was in there She issued him a dare She dared him to sit still While she enforced on him her will Promising a thrill Never offered by another girl He wasn’t really sure If he should bite into her lure Then he heard the locking door And was heard from never more
