You learnt me to caress themes 
Rallying all and sundry 
Growing pure potency...

When rallying for a cause, do not indulge with or ever be,
a Provocateur, or you will surely fail your cause in solidarity....

Facing the north
Rallying all of my sight
Outside in the chill of this starry
Night
Thinking


Placed also where the sun
Outside the halos hit
Right in my eye
Crying as I sit
Hopeful...

If I ever did
2004 2007 2013
Believe in this team
Can we control ourselves
And let them play up
To potential
A rallying cry
Goes out
Above the green monster
As Napoli is a hero 
Not just to me...

Leaving the country in desolation
Initiating an entitlement minded nation
Biased against those believing
Eliminating desire for achieving
Rallying undesirable factions
Allowing terrorist actions
Letting our Constitution come undone
Self serving animals every one....

The journey of perilous seas-
a vessel so grand-
plunging into the darkest abyss-
eagerly searching as the house upon a rock-

Steering true through mutinies,
teetering on the brink of tipping!

Rallying, never to waver again!

Yet another voyage just dawning-forevermore!...

If your a genuine Gooden 
A good soul 
Good person
Friends and family 
Will surely rally around you
Show you your worth
In times of trouble 
Times of need and woe

The good shall receive there reward in love and appreciation 
When it counts most 
Really matters...

Wrestling with his conscience
Abstaining from verbal exchange
Regretting his words

Offended by obscenities
Forgetting his ticket

What is happening now?
Obnoxious little men
Rallying in no mans land
Dire Consequences
Spasmodic verbal abuse.

And before consuming, death equals faces
Gathering health in juxtaposed kettles

Last memories neatly open prospective questions
Rallying senses teeming under veiled whispers

Xanthic years zooming away before contemplation
Death erases final glows, honoring its judgement...

Wind rushes past my ears
Inside my coat it fills
Nothing short but unhappiness
Terrain and all it kills
Enigmatic is this season
Relinquishing its reason

Indoors is where I will stay
So long sunshine in my day

Hearth is my dear friend 
Efficaciously closing me in
Rallying its victims
Ending all that's been...

Folding in to convention
Sealed in creases of acceptance
Maligned and misled
By the false promises
Of a stolen heart 
We chase the white whale
Of validation
Into waters of denial…
  “Fury—the rallying cry
   of our vengeful spirit
   Hate—the jilted lover
   of our fated selves”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

“This country is ours!” is their rallying call,
“We don't want any strangers like you”
but since Celts, Picts and Romans
no-one owns this land,
we are all of us just passing through.
“We're English!” “We're Scottish!” “We're Welsh!”
goes the cry,
but here is the fact you must face-
you leave all these labels behind at the grave
and then somebody else takes your place....

Big Ben chimes (resting) his 88th life-line
His oratory socialistically left explicitly refined 
Always rallying heads above the gut-venting whines
Dissenting oratory silenced it seems, but only by Mr Time
His Popeye pipe yet resonates, smoking symbolic his inclined
A Bentonite legacy, a Ben store for the waking walking primed
RIP “The Tony” one... your way is thus comprehensively enshrined...

To give everything for nothing
Occupy a desk, to provide something

Work for God every day willingly
Openly pronounce faith, filling me
Right up with all that I need
Kindling a fire, that all may be freed

Forgoing the ego for the greater good
Original, free-willed man better understood
Risking it all

Giving it all
Only to be ostricized by
Devilish lies

                                Altruism is my rallying cry...

Turin, Italy the
Home of the athletes, 2006
Extreme performances,

Wipeouts are
Immiment,
Nation against nation,
Timing is everything,
Excelling to the challenge,
Rallying behind their own ,

Only the best,
Legends they will become,
Years of training and preparation,
Medals of gold, silver, bronze on
Podiums wait, embedded
In memories forever,
Congratulations to all the 
Stars of the Winter Olympics!...

I can’t sleep
I should be in DC

I can’t close my eyes
I should be among their rallying cries

I can’t rest my head
I should be marching there, with them
I should be beside the chains and gates
By the pepper spray and mace
By the ones taken away
By the students and the nurses
By drivers, servants, poor and workers

Where anger and hope lay wake
something’s being born today

I can’t sleep
I should be in DC...

Fantastically fickle
Rarely enduring -- ever ephemeral,
Adamantly flexible and footloose
Gregarious, vivacious and effervescent
Irresistible, insuppressible and indestructible, 
Love is all that and more…
Ever needed, ever elusive;

Homing in on fragile hearts, love
Erupts into a rousing passion and
Amplifies raw emotions
Rallying those faint at heart
To overcome an insurmountable
Sisyphean task.

Let the wind

Blow

And 

Go on blowing

Let the rain

The cold 

In gusts

Within

Show

And 

Keep on showing

And 

why not too?

Why not?

Let the storm

Outside 

Rally

And 

Go on rallying

And 

Let it 

Hear of 

No abating, 

What I only know

Is this:

There is always 

Peace in the heart 

And the mind

For those who live and forgive.

Freedom and our Flag

For those who never knew freedom.

My heart cries out in vein.

The cries of a dying nation going in sane.   

Pitted against each other mud slings both ways.  

The Statue of Liberty crying  as clearly we lost our way.

There is the grand old flag waving proudly in the wind.  Serving us with honor to provide and pave the new way again.  

Rallying the troupe to serve proudly to protect our freedom with their lives....

Carnage at churches & clubs
Mass shootings at concerts & malls
Massacres at schools & theaters
Our children walkout today
Peacefully protesting gun violence

Background checks for all
Bump stock elimination
Military weapons ban
Commonsense gun reform
What our students are fighting for

People dying needlessly
Drive-bys occurring daily
Innocents gunned down in the streets
We need gun safety taught nationwide
Rallying for the wellbeing of U.S. all...

The exclusion that rages
within my cauliflower of sparks
screams the howl of the pariah
scraping all rebuffs for meaning
to find only lonely betrayal

at the end of your shackle
indignant in clang and shape
as if you’re the blushing victim
slumped in the cold undergrowth
in need of rallying friends

and the trappings of scorn
unfounded with wild stories
flying loose without the truth
revealing such banality of insanity;
more drama to fill your void....

Lens enhanced perception 
                                    Sands your face with precision 
                                Rallying rows of eyelash perfection 
                              Brush my conscience, bless my vision
