Beyond Serenity
She sings floating melodies—drifting free
Harmony that carries
Sounds, magical majesties
Wafts, beyond serenity.

Judge Not
Judging human parasites—freeloaders
Foul fodder feeds these plights.
Judges accost not mans flights.
Homeless victims feel the blights.

Yes, I was very much focused
driving up and down
those immense highways,
dressed as an Irish carpenter
with no proper clothes,
to face the harsh New England winter.
I had moved the hearts
of those construction workers
who gave me their coat
dipped in their own urine.
How grateful I still am,
going from state to state,
town to town
admiring the stillness
of the great
North American coast.
Fidelity and Curiosity
Curiosity quickly seeks and finds
Tearful times; swiftly
Hiding from view, slickly.

Death’s Fray
Enemy troops discover.
Young soldiers find cover.
Fear of death’s fray hovers

New Hope Refreshes
As we endure life threshes, heartaches spawn.
Dreads dawn; enmeshes.
New hopes mist refreshes.

Someone’s Son
Someone’s son buried alive.
Fighting wars evils contrive.
Mother’s joys cannot survive.

Lands of Oil
Soldiers sent to foreign soil.
Fights for “Freedom” are their toil.
Over there great hatreds boil

A great musical artist is Gladys Knight.
However, things with her were not quite right.
Financial situations were enduring stormy weather.
So, Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and I got together.
Along with Gladys, we entered a recording studio.
We collaborated on a song many got to know.
The four of us made a popular video.
Our hit was played on many a radio station.
Proceeds from the music bailed her out of her situation.
Fearless Soldiers
Blood and guts fly all around.
Everywhere death screams its sound.
Fearless soldiers still abound.

Daydreams
A daydream fanaticizes many things.
Romance sings, rises.
But, real life surmises.

horses, lances, arrows, fire
they reenact the war of the roses
the outdoor setting
has been erected next to Costa
outside on the ground
napkins, zarfs and stirrers
and half the audience gets their
medieval caffeine hit
that encourages us to yell and whoo-hoo
and pay attention to history
they encourage us to cheer and boo
and after all these years
with a cappuccino in my hand
i bellow 'long live the king'
and it's socially okay
Machine Guns
Allied forces lie down flat.
Strong, brave, ready for combat.
Hush. Hear that. Rat-a-tat-tat.
Armed, they work without brickbat.
Dug-in. Stressed in metal hat.
Distant screams Rat-a-tat-tat.
