A Pretty Little Lark

A Pretty little Lark, my Darling was,
Who cheered each one she met -- humble intent!
Whose Way was Love, her Harmony, unbent
By any Path, Belief, Doctrine or Cause

She stilled my heart, the lovely little bird,
By singing children’s songs, and Sunday School
She taught, to bring tykes discipline, Self-Rule
And called it sacred work, to keep one’s word.

Premium Member A Fly on the Wall

The poet apologizes to Donovan

Thrown like a fly on the wall
It's sixty years since his last call
Who would have thought we would see 
The ending of democracy
When will the Hurdy Gurdy Man, come singing songs of love…

Not learning from histories past
Abdicating power fast
Self-rule is not certainty
Despots don’t serve humanity 
When will the Hurdy Gurdy Man, come singing songs of love…

Troubles Transcendance

Created brink of poverty's role
a Eucharistic pool of drool
abomination from a fool
incriminating from self rule!

Discover Faith, the sainthood tool
and rediscover self, God's yule.
No celebration need extend
or bow to legacy's pretend!

A soul's conflict with space extend
and so decipher, what we've been
to belly up, we miss the trend
of going further, losses tend!

As looking back, mistakes contend
while roads of glory ~ brighter bend!

Troubles Timetable

Created brink of poverty's rule
a Eucharistic pool of drool
abomination from a fool
incriminating from self rule!

Discover Faith, the sainthood's tool
and rediscover self, God's yule
no celebration need extend
or bow to legacy's pretend!

A soul's conflict with space extend
and so decipher, what we've been,
to belly up, we miss the trend
of going further ~ losses tend!

As looking back, mistakes contend
while roads of Glory ~ brighter, bend!

Premium Member Independence

Independence sought freedom's key
Nonetheless freedom was not free.
Demanding equal voice and rights
Equality was met with fights.
People paid for it with their lives
Ensuring liberty survives.
Neighbors committed to self-rule
Denounced foreign reign as cruel.
Each tax was a knife to their throat
No subject had the right to vote.
Courage, followed by bravery
Expunged indentured slavery.
