hairpin turn
road, verses' wit—
pulse quickens
to
save
our
lives
we're getting a taste of oppression
stay home!
wear your mask!
don't do this!
don't do that!
you can't go there
but you can go there
just be home by sunset.
Friends,
remember these times
brand them into your bones
staple them onto your mind..
when the mask comes off
you'll appreciate a smile
going for a stroll
in a straight line
instead of performing "the swerve"...
killing freedom
to
save
our
lives...
but isn't death
the pinnacle of
freedom
I tried to share my insights
Lost you in fright
Dare I speak in foreign terms
Something left to learn
Coming from a different venue
In a thousand books the clue
In the nature of things
Its the Swerve that sings
Philosophy and great literature
Free from ignorance the cure
Never accepting their version
Lies allow this days perversion
So don't read the letter on the page
Your indifference is my rage
McCain May Observe or Swerve
McCain loves country that he does observe,
Even though at times may curve or swerve;
Never fall;
Gives his all;
He watches Trump who has a lot of nerve.

I started this intrepid jeourney
putting all the zealous faith
in my renewed capabilities,
not wanting a handout from life.
And stubborly going forward, it got much harder:
the further I went, the less strenght I had;
almost regretting of having undertaken
such a hardous task that only some dared to take.
Am I forced to follow instincts
unable to swerve from this course?
It's a risk I may regret later...
when all gains seem to be lost.
I shouln't have tried to alter anything,
and left alone the calm waters without stirring a storm;
in that clear sea I could see white corals on the bottom,
now the troubled currents are fighting back with fury.
What is predistened must occur as prophetizied,
don't imitate my foolishness: I'm unable to swerve from my course;
do I realize I was given a mission to be completed before my death?
Look beyond gratification and pride: humbleness is given only to a few.

See It Swerve
When you see it swerve,
Could be natural born curve
In gutter may end up.
More problems must face
What will I have to do next
Pick after I choose.
One I shall select
Was never prepared to do
It wore a disguise.
Problem passed me by
Thanked God that this had happened
Never see again.

How a problem appears
and then disappears. A
Horn Haiku story format.
Interesting swerve ball move,
techno color thought an groove,
Mona Lisa in the Louvre,
Leonardo so salube,
In spirit he is prancing.
