No Kings Day      
Everyday


The fear I felt last November
Has 
   Swollen
Like a Hindenberg blimp directly 
Overhead
Seconds from exploding
Time and space back to 1775.  
How
Now sent troops’ marching feet
Bear a din, underscoring beat,
Compelling 
   Alarm
Urgently
To ask, to answer the question:
How might we align
  our democracy

Satan's Troops

THEY GATHER AROUND TRYING TO DESTROY YOU
COMING IN MANY FORMS AND PACKS
I AM A CHILD OF THE KING
SO SATAN RETURN BACK.

SATAN'S TROOPS ARE MANY IN NUMBERS
I AM COVERED BY JESUS'S BLOOD
I LOOK TO THE MIGHTY HEAVEN ABOVE.

NO EVILNESS IN THIS PRESENCE
I REBUKE
NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEE
FOR JESUS I SHALL SEEK.

ENEMIES AND SO-CALLED FRIENDS
FROM THE BEGINNING

Premium MemberThe Philistine Troops Gathered Up For War

The Philistine troops gathered up for war,
Between Azekah and Socoh amassed.
Israel encamped near in Elah vale
And drew a line against the number vast.
There Saul, upon one mountain, made a stand,
To face the other tribe across the way,
The vale between expecting blood-soaked sand,
The dogs of war yet leashed, restrained, at bay.

Philistia put forth their champion:
Goliath, giant

Bring the Troops Home

They willfully exile themselves from fight, 
turn into friendly sports their military training, 
warming their old cold beds.
Save your charitable cause of lauding the warriors and
the body bags, and save your tears too, they frighten the 
spirits, blind them with your waving flags, devour them with
your open enthusiasm for the new recruits who bought into

Words start then stop

or is it the first?

Mighty Qaghan of Eurasian Troops

My Mighty Qaghan of Valor and Strength,
Listen to Me, your 'Captain-General' at length,
The Poet who leads you through your Eurasian way,
Till our flag of the Eurasian Empire dawns the day!

March with freedom within you,
Zealously protect, your dreams come true,
Inspire with zeal and works of love,
Stay calm and learn from the victory of the dove,

It seems

Premium MemberA Poem For Our Troops

You forget your plight
while you fight with might.
You roam with your comrades, never
leaving behind a man.
You prove your worth
with your trust in the Almighty.
You' ve left loveones behind.
They spread your spirit strong.
Knowing you are the Best and you
pass the Test.
Till Life's made you hold,
try your best to be bold.
While our Country hold you up,
in the

Infantry

INFANTRY
 
At alert all day,
Waiting for the Marshal's orders,
To move into position against the foes,
Disintegrating into companies,
To launch their campaign.
 
Day and night on the battlefield,
Bullets raining the sky,
Reinforcements and air supports engaged,
Soldiers left hoping to come back alive,
But many died on the battleground,
And others injured,
Sacrificing their lives at the altar of victory.
 
As a

And Still the Troops Are Marching

...inspired by 'Dry Loaf' by Wallace Stevens

 

The loaf is stretched, a wretched game,

need is the arbiter of taste

as pride takes on another meaning,

duty is the call that summons,

love and hunger mean the same.

 

Hope directed to the cause,

troops in uniform are marching,

those left behind forever searching

for reports of dead and wounded,

bitter tears or strained
