Will it be more of the same?
I have faith in change

Then Trump Took Aim

Ready, set and than Trump took aim;
His strategy became more of the same;
Might be minister,
Who was sinister;
Democratic Party he is sure to blame.

every four years  (the american election campaign sonata)

haves: knock knock.

have-nots: who’s there?

haves: orange.

have-nots: orange who?

haves: orange ya ready for more of the same?...

Sifting through prairie dust, letting it fall towards more of the same.
The great visions I had for this place now seem trite and foolish.
I dismally walk away while the clouds above let go a tiny ocean....

If things look good,
more of the same
is the rule of the game.

If they appear bad,
take your chances,
make drastic changes.

Do not tinker with success,
act when you have a mess,
that is just common sense!...

He breaks your heart
  Tears you down and apart
Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out
  Where to turn, How to start...

Extra patience is called for
   It's a waiting game
Confrontation only gets you
   More of the same...

Power
Over life
Gives
Power
Over death

One
Dictates
The other
In joy
And regret

Each
Beginning
And ending
Brings
More of the same

Our 
Destiny
Married
To both
—in refrain

There once was a prez, D. Trump by name,
through fraud and fake news, he gets the blame.
All the four years he's bagged
those sly Dems had him tagged.
Why fight so hard for more of the same?

New Year awaits, more of the same?
Wear masks and take a jab
Which awful country will we blame?
Or you’ll die like a crab.

Do not waste time in dreams
Think you know all, it seems,
Please avoid bad extremes.

At Heaven’s gates
New Year awaits.


Quietus

Closed up in the open air,
one foot deep in the dirt,
the other stepping away from its grave.
The wishing prayers of generations
promise only more of the same.
Sometimes I am a trapdoor for the sky,
sometimes a broken rung.
I don’t have the holiness of a sparrow,
I'm not put together that simple.
My God is the God of broken Ladders....

Will Take Aim Horn Haiku

When we will take aim,
You always receive the blame;
Much more of the same.

Are one of the few,
Who I surely will love you,
And always so true.

Poems may be putrid,
But each one of them I did;
Wish someone had hid.

Next time be better;
Think she was an Irish Setter;
Go on floor let her.

Ho Ho Jim Horn...

It's a new day dawn
the moon has rose
Yesterday tomorrow again
The sun has risen
And I see myself and...
The earth getting colder
I can't pretend more of the same
Same of the more
But alas when the Son goes down
He witness, doesn't stay down
The Son shall rise, He rose again

more of the same,
such a silly game.

endless repetition,
mind's automation.

life turns into a rut
when you risk not.

if you just follow,
you cannot grow.

the old is the past,
the new will not last.

change is the thing
or you are nothing.

life's secret is variety,
not robotic continuity.

be unpredictable, baby,
hey, come be like me!...

When I was a kI'd
. I would never have guessed 
That I would f*+k up so much
   And end up like this 
Life is an endless struggle
   Each day is riddled with pain 
There's no hope for a brighter future 
   Tomorrow will just be more of the same 
There is nothing that I wouldn't give 
   To not be who I am 
Blinded by my shameful tears
   Razor in my trembling...

Hiccups of music,
over and over again;
It's hard to swallow
a little more of the same;
Oxygen's needed to think;

A sound to expand
every thought from deep within;
You just hold your breath
until you're a shade of blue
dying to hear something real;

Fresh water guzzled 
while your lungs can't take in air;
Drown deep and exhale;
In your ear a clean rhythm,
you wade past shallow breathing....

I wish I knew where time went,
Washed clean away,
Jackal jaws ate it up
And swallowed down the day.

The very sun ignores me,
Moon cuts me dead,
Spattering of solitude
Anoints my empty head.

Don’t much care for dreams
Nor sleep’s domain,
Nothing equals nothing,
Begets more of the same.

Don’t much care for waking,
Walking into walls,
Frozen frames of judgement,
Whatever befalls, befalls....

January will  bring us lots of snow
 As winter winds from the north now blow
 Chills and frozen tears brought on by sleet and ice
 Keeping warm by the fireplace is nice

 February brings more of the same
 Ready to find out that groundhog's name
 Overcast skies, as Jack gives us the blues
 Snowball fights,  at least one or two
 Temperature falls by degrees of two

When every word was said in the
Thick of it.  Now i'm sick of this.
More of the same angry dish. 
A clever twist
In the heat of the moment,  the 
Passion of the night.  We faught,
When the agony was worse Than the
Curse.  Then again, no pain was worst
Than the birth,  of a break. Nothing was worth
That THIRST.  WORDS  HURT  WORSE.
That's  the best lession behind the first hurtful
Words. YES,  WORDS HURT....
WORSE....

Old Girl Down

One step after another took the old girl down
Rain, asphalt black answered back
Cold shoes, wet feet, puddled deep
Overhead dark clouds settle in 
The forecast called for more of the same
Women and fossils should not be out in this
Sounds splash hard off echoed solid streets
Gray tall buildings went by one after another
When will it end when there is no end in sight
One step after another took the old girl down...

Shed No tears
There we go the same thing all over again
More of the same nothing changes
But the location and date
Death is death
Killing is killing
War profit is war profit
Way it goes from Napoleon to now
The dollar amount increases
Making the fat cats fatter
Their bank accounts rise to God
This will never ever end
Like the Alien films
They rule and own all things
Not even aliens can stop this
War is big business
And death is death
Shed no tears......

Is there anything of
unappreciated significance
that is used more than I ?
I've got to be the "where's waldo"
of precocious punctuation!
piled atop baby j's and baby i's
balanced under interrogatory swirls ?
and exclamatory lines !
and others of my kind : ; !
Also, laid down with more of the same ...
Accountants and mathematicians
have rued my misplacement,
yet though I'm remarkably plain,
the simple truth is, when I say it's done,
it's done......PERIOD!...

What Could Be

As I look into your eyes
I can see visions
What Was 
What Is
What Could Be

As I close my eyes
I am beleaguered by thoughts
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be

As I go to say more of the same
I know all has been spoken
What Was
What Is
What Could Be

As you release my hand for the last time
All at once I feel all
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be

As you turn and walk away
I know I will regret that
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be...

Thanks for being my teacher
my far away dad
for telling me you can
when nobody dared to care

They reasoned with their heads
that no-one can expect
from a crazy stock except
more of the same

Their look of shock still hurts
humbled by my success
and all for a teacher's heart
that dared to say you can 

Sculpted in my heart
the first day we met
You didn't except success
loved me as I am

Father of love my God
in You I found my joy
success is but an instant...

A dozen questions?
You want to know more...


Confront the conflict
Seek to go deeper


Focus tramples feel
With a certain flick


Short circuit in cold trace
Recycle odds and ends


When darkness falls
Nothing much happens


Words tell a lie
In authentic fake


More of the same
In dying flames


Need I say more
To state my case?


Do you detect
A certain slack?


Or old furnishings
In a re-run coup?
