Do you know what burns my bum
A flame three feet high until I finally succumb
Can only take so much
Burning my big butt
Till I scream bloody murder and the national anthem I hum...

This is me, no pretensions, or put-ons
Take me, squeeze me, slather my lower echelons 
May detect a wee whimper
Now here comes the clincher
Will sing our national anthem with timbre...

Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
The bags in my eyes
For I can't sleep through the night
I've been working to death 
And I have coffee breath
And I constantly feel
Like I've been chained to my desk...

Take your freedom and life
Rule out justice and rights
Then we have barbarian ways
Of controlling the world

Our true role is to enslave you
In our economic dominance
To divide and conquer all
In propaganda and war...

Came To Conclusion Mass Confusion

Could be that we came to conclusion,
With Trump can see much confusion,
Promulgated;
He vacated,
After being disturbed by his delusion.

Jim Horn

Oh say can you see so much confusion
with Trump seems to be part of our
National Anthem....

His fingers make this quitar sing..
His lyrics grab by the arm and ring..
A tall dark God with poetic words..
Hold a crowd with just a surge..
The national Anthem never heard this way..
Set standards and to all who will later will play..
Gone to fast as most legends do..
Jamming up in Heaven with Lennon
and Joplin too.....

I play these strings
Find myself sing
There’s a song
Made me cry for so long.

Like a national anthem
We sing it to them
Heart is broken
Still hear it’s beating!

Drops of my tears
Fall on my guitar
A hymn to cry on
Can’t seem to move on.

How did my strings
Take me to old things?
Things I regret
Can’t seem to forget....

Owl tree
Dressed in American apparel 
Cross your heart
For the butterfly national anthem
They melt in the static
Like snowflakes
And stars slowly blink out
A physical embodiment of dreams
But I'm chasing cats
Clawing the owl tree
The lake here was shallow
But got deeper
Due to melting snowflakes
Given time
The owl tree will fall...

Trump hates hearing from CIA
Can’t stand the things they have to say
So news he'll filter
To keep us off kilter
By singing, "It's a Perfect Day."


Author's note: The new national anthem lyrics are being changed to "It's a Perfect Day" as sung by Hoku on Youtube.  It was funny for the movie with Witherspoon, but really? Is the world Legally Blonde?...

An ascetic dies in a shoe
spilling blood.
A surreal moon
wants to investigate –

a sectarian divide of
fraudulent sky.
And you want to be buried
under rose petals –

courting controversies
to clean the polluted river.
A lifeboat was needed
to take you for a quiz –

singing national anthem.
Emblematic,
You were sharpening
your nails.



Satish Verma...

The evil are coward
They come not in their colours
But often wear the masks of love
And speak the language of church
To seek entry where angels dwell.

Good to hold tight your broom
And keep your joker like inheritance
So when a Nicodemus comes to throne
And corruption becomes  national  anthem,
You shall sweep away the plague with one
And change the tune with the other....

Trump Lies Likes to Reveal

Somehow seemed to smell a bad deal;
Wanted some thing  with more appeal;
Searched around;
We  finally found,
Trump who many lies likes to reveal.

Was with wife all day at hospital. She had
her right knee replaced after having left
one replaced April 5th.

Jim Horn

She would have a hard time taking a knee
at the National Anthem. Where would they 
want you to take it to anyway?...

It's our national song
But the words are all wrong
'Cause it sings about war and the glaring of rockets.
So I'll write words quite new
But I haven't a clue
Just some pieces of lyrics I crammed in my pockets.

And this part is too high
For the average guy
Each time that I sing it
I just want to cry.

While the overpaid athletes
Drop down and take a knee
Tis a good thing that they live
In the Land Of The Free....

I have a dream that nobody will care
About the skin color or type of hair
That we will all get along
We all can sing the national anthem song
Get to know each other before they judge
Won't scream at each other won't even fuss
For everyone about don't scream at each other don't even shout
Would you please all listen 
So everyone in this world will shine and glisten
Is this how it is?
Is this how it ends??
I have a dream never to see hatred again!...

To Rejuvenate Judy Konos

Am sure that you know,
Was Obie One Knobie,
Who you do love so.

Before Ball Throw

Wrote more poems when I let myself go;
Then total amount would grow and grow;
An idea felt;
Never knelt;
Sing National Anthem before ball throw.

Jim Horn

GOP Should Be GULP

GOP pretty well messed up the pulp;
What we had to do was to go GULP;
Grievous for sure,
And did endure;
We must say meo culpa is in my cup.

lords, 
i
lost
both of my arms 
and
both of my legs
in 
the 
War of Vietnam
the 
bitterness has faded away, but
we 
must learn how to forgive
i 
still,  
love my country
i
can sing the National Anthem, and
i
can say the Pledge of Allegiance, but
i
cannot put my hand over my heart, 
because of my handicap disabilities
Yet
i
thank God, each and every day,
For 
blessing me with my precious life, 
because
hope is alive, and 
i
am willing to pray...

Na shaad na baad na azmey aleshaan
Na akhovat na hamdardi Pakistan ka nizaam
Har ja har so badmashon ka istaqbaal
Thano kacheriyon adalton me chalta hai maal
Ye afsoos ka maqaam kahan hai saya zuljalaal?
Note. Na Zindagi shama ki sorat na naiki ki tamana
Jahalat Kay andheray mein har fard yahan Alam chana.
Lesson. Pakistan is not a welfare state and the weak
Have no access to justice. We are living in an unequal
Society where the rule of law no longer covers the poor....

This land I live on,
This nation so big,
It's been here thousands of years,
Customs and traditions loved by everyone,
We have our royal family and our queen Elizabeth,
We sing our national anthem,
Our flag the union jack we fly,
With pride we sing Rule Britannia,
I love my country it fills me with pride,
We have had our trial and tribulations,
The last few years have been hard,
We will not be cowed by anyone ..... ever,
This is our country our nation,
This is GREAT BRITAIN....

We run out on the field all together
the crowd erupts at our energy!
a rush of adrenaline pumps inside you
the blood rushes uncontrollably!
We stand together silently
honoring jackson, tears fill my eyes!
the calm of the national anthem
then the sight of 3500 fans screaming endlessly
Down 12 at the half
we never lost faith in one another!
A great comeback, an emotional win
tears fall without chance of stopping!
No sense of embarressment
nothing but pride shines throught in us all!...
