sorrowful untold secrets
line your nests of
thieves...

Fox in the henhouse

             retirement nesteggs eyed,

                bond market shakeup......

This one is for Jan-i-kowski
Kicks it so hard goes kapowski
When the Raiders attack
In the silver and black
We will rob all your booty and trouskies...

ye are better than them
finances of the world
resources basket for continents
out of jealousy and envy
we have been raided
our men are slain
our women, raped!
our babies are spill to rocks
 oh! white raiders,
lead generations into slavery...

Hay rides and starlit nights
Spooky cresent red tinted moon
Howling and the owl schrieks

Big eyes strain to see where the noise originated
Prickling skin and scary masked raiders
Screams and little feet take flight

To the bonfire and mom's warm arms...

ghoulish entities ooze from the bowels of graves
slurping and slinking around bushes and under porches
they are the night raiders, the soul stealers, the vampire’s minions.
I feel their presence, and my blood freezes. I cannot get warm enough.
They have arrived.
I am their destination tonight....

Word-hoards fall from mouth-cups
out along roads, out along seas:
faith migrates; sayings run away; verbs escape; 
nouns meander as memes in other tongues.

Invaders’ words intrude on empires, spill 
cream that soaks our souls, leave 
bones of meaning
lying around.

Etymologists 
will tour 
and devour.

Hawk Pursued by Squawk
Dark & White Mottled Flight,
Red Chasing Cardinal Instilling Fright,
Guarding Agin' Invasion Not Right.

Tiny vs. Awesome & Fearsome,
Courage Hear Ye All This Poem,
Able to Scourge, Raiders Stem.

Songbird Brave Hightails Raptor,
Saving Chicks From Certain Capture,
Watching 'Underbird' Prevail Brings Rapture!...

He died facing the dawning east 
While the raiders gathered for feast 
His blood that dripped on pristine soil 
Caused the hog-tied bloods to boil 

The war he waged with mighty pen 
Kept waging every now and then 
Until the sun of liberty 
Shone for the whole world to see 

*In celebration of 125th independence day*

Skid row bums
Dress for no occasion,
Refuse raiders
Need no reservations.

Drug-addicted tenants
Beg for coins and candy,
Deadbeat derelicts
Reside at Hotel Alley.

Gutter renters
Lounge against brick walls,
Vagrant paupers
Rise to no wake-up calls.

Psychotic transients
Cruise dim lit corners
Wayward sons
Fight without honor....

The raiders of the north are there

You had better beware and take care,

Eyes in a sea of green,

Everywhere but go unseen.

Running and hunting in packs,

Nothing in the forest do they lack.

Forever on the move,

Always searching for food.

Sleeping by the light of day,.

Hunting nightly for their prey

The wolves howl with  the moon,.

Carrying their nightly tune

Raiders of the north ,hunt the land,

Scavaging where they can....
