Ww2
Triggars clicking,
Men shooting,
aeroplanes flying,
bombs dropping,
bones breaking,
trees snapping,
people dying,
letters sending,
women crying,
peace starting,
children learning,
earth changing....

Spaghetti
Spaghetti
The meat,
the cheese,
the sauce.
The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.
The music,
the song,
the moment...
The vow of forever!
Then...
You and I,
and the garlic bread!

Vignette-Through the Glass Ceiling
Lee bridged the race divide
when prejudice had nowhere to hide-
Riding a mustang in the sky
His deeds gave bigotry the lie,
sterotyping his,to defy.

died this past week...

A Story of War
my grandpa was an ex-KAR soldier
that was before he died
he fought in WW2 as a teenager
but the so called hero
by the ones who wrote our history
was not able to build himself a house
a story of war
must a soldier fight for what's not his?
put in a course he cannot alter?...

Humanitarian Aid
Remember America’s humanitarian aid
to Germany’s Nazis
and Japan’s Kamikazes
during daring WW2 raids
Funny, I don’t remember it either…
But I know the reason
giving aid and comfort to a terrorist enemy
is properly classified as treason

Trial By Public Opinion
female collaborator,
passionate romantic lover,
despicable and unforgivable traitor
or cringing victim of horrendous war-rape
they know not.
shave her head
in a grotesque ceremony
of humiliation
they do
nevertheless.
such are the ways of the human,
despicable morally
in group
as she is....

Zieg Heil
Who voted for Adolf Hitler? Almost everybody. No matter which party or candidate chosen. It was done with the fascist attitude of the immoral majority. Sometimes in a disguise. Donald Duck is now Donald Schmuck.(in memory of those of my maternal ancestry who perished in Treblinka concentration camp in Nazi Germany occupied Poland during the WW2 era and in honor of Hannah Arendt. Amen.)...

Terrorists
There is a lot of talk about terrorists today,
but very little discussion on why they became that way.
My father was a marine during WW2,
and I am sure that in the eyes of the Japanese he was a terrorist too.
One individual's terrorist is another's freedom fighter,
making one form of warfare more acceptable than the other,
to which I must say, "That is absolutely ridiculous.
All forms of warfare are most atrocious."...

Mourning the Passing of Herman Wouk
An old-fashioned modern Jew
He was brilliant, unique
Weaving the strands of tradition
Into best-selling novels sleek
A Navy man, aboard a WW2 mine-sweep
Mr. Wouk loved letters, his country, and
Talmudic wisdom, from which his works drew deep
Herman Wouk, the prolific novelist and
lifelong student of the Talmud, has
passed on to his Maker today, at the
tender age of 103. May he rest in peace......

WW1
and after bloody ww1
our returning boys,
were bloody numb,
to walk the roads,
with a swag outback,
to live on rabbit on the track,
half crazed from bomb and gas attack,
as crazy seen by some,
old soldiers on their rum,
when they could get em some,
outback...
