Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Security is tight, the world is different now
To each man and woman we must be vigilant and vow
To do our small part
To shore up the ramparts
So for peace loving people, our freedom will allow
UNINTENTIONALLY I offended you
SINCERELY I apologised to you
VEHEMENTLY you refused my apologies
INSTICTIVELY I shore up my defence
AUTOMATICALLY you get crossed
TRUTHFULLY *'I no send'!
*'I no send' - A slang of Nigerian origin meaning 'to mind or care less', 'not to give a damn or hoot', etc.
An Angel sent by God best describes my Mum:
a more loving soul has never walked this Earth.
Mum could bottle preserves: apple, peach, or plum;
cultivate my pride, and shore up my self-worth.
And she could knit, crochet, macramé, and sew,
learning skills on her own; she took life in tow.
I have always felt loved and safe around her:
so when I think of her, tears begin to stir.
COPLA 96 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
How bad’s the Bad Guy State on its own
Strangles own peoples by its laws :
Rule by fear
Can the State’s only aim be foregone :
Shore up flagging image in the jaws –
Horse for Lear
Leaders come together to control
Wayward gods who know not One God :
God be leader
What about that One Great Soul
What’s His role in this God**** World :
Powerless Seer

I gave my love my courage
To help fight all his ills.
I gave my love my strength
To help shore up his will.
I gave my love my heart
To keep his pounding strong
I gave my love my soul
To keep sacred for so long.
I gave my love all I could
And watched him slip away.
I gave my love my own life
To keep him one more day.
I cannot con a con man
A god I could not bribe
I did not see a future for me
Without you by my side.
I am 57 years into riding the waves of life
some waves are welcome and wonderful,
some are life shattering and heart breaking
I am coming off a wave of the latter,
and trying to shore up for a big wave of change
While change can be good, and even powerful,
when you are beaten up by big waves and pounded
by the surf, the large wave coming at you can feel
daunting and unsurvivable, but my stubborness
and optimism have kicked in, and I say “Bring it on!”
What day was it I found this piece
Of broken bottle turned to gem
Abraded by the sands and tides
And worn to faded opulence
Just trash upon the ocean’s shore
Now in a jar upon a shelf
And miles from sights and sounds of gulls
And years gone by from when first found
A talisman to touch and hold
To shore up memories now gone cold
Of walks together on the beach
And hunting for the sea glass gems
Perhaps some magic still remains
Of walks and sharing finds.
