Va Poems

A Donde Va

Where does laughter go
when the smiles are gone

Where does music go
when stripped of its song

Where does credence go
when truth suicides

Where do voices go
—when breath is denied

Premium MemberChet Had Heard About the Va Va Va Voom Nurses

Chet was thrilled to be sent to Kanas City Mercy Hospital East
He had been told the food was great, hot bread made of yeast.
Their desserts are delicious, and their nurses are svelte and fine.
He could barely wait to have them look at his sore back behind.

He was all ready to have his fine tushy looked

Va', Tosca

Given the many threats I have made against God,
given my forgetfulness of God,
given my sniveling prayers,
given that Tosca, that saintly hussy
who dwells in my head, given I have
created her from the whole cloth of my sacred,
scared and scarred ego; that Scarpio 
riddled id of mine, prone as it is to dark corners,
and blood-red sunsets.
Given that

Stamped Denied

Come on boys' sign your name, train them, and send them out to fight. 
Praise them once a year, let 22 die with a red stamped denied.
Fight the battles within, “NO!!! YOU DON’T QUALIFY.” 
How many times does he have to break down? 
The battle is fought in silence, kept within.
The untold story, so you

The Va- Hell In Disguise

THE VA- HELL IN DISGUISE

Us Veterans know the deal, the rhetoric that thanks the VET for
	his/her service to the good ole US of A and promises to
	take care of us until death comes your way
Is nothing but words, watch out, the Vaseline is not far behind.
They will screw you and make it hurt, keep watching

Floyd VA

A new town to call my home
With pretty streets for me to roam

Freindly people everywhere 
Imagination style and flare

I hope to make many new friends 
And spread kindness and love without end

Look for me when you are out 
Give me a wave and a shout

I'll be happy

Premium MemberVa Pensieri - Go, Thoughts

Va Pensieri

My solitude, which I prefer
Does not, like some, plunge to despair
But rather it does stimulate
My mind for thoughts to create.

Inside my room, alone again
For all the sounds does my ear strain:
The muffled purr from the a/c
The creaking bulkheads all round me.

Outside I watch a billowing cloud
Grow quietly dark as night does shroud
The blues and

Horse Like Speed - Pathya Va

Chariots fly
With horse like speed
To lead the field
In war so dark


The Hittite ruled
Kadesh attacked
known battle track
Five thousand fought. 




Hittite renowned charioteers 
Hittites conquered Kadesh
Five thousand chariots took part was the largest chariot battle ever

Va Death Waiting List - Update - From Original Post 05-15-14 Shinseki Resigns - Actually Fired

Below is my original post from 2 weeks ago, President Obama has 
announced that VA Secretary Shinseki has resigned "voluntarily" from
his position, but let's face the fact the President fired him behind closed doors
so that Shinseki could save face and save Obama from more embarrassment.
Yet, this resignation does not relieve the President from his personal

Star Spangled Glory Fading - Va Letting Wounded Heroes Perish

Flag waving decency goodbye
Actually not its fault
Being only of cloth
Creased by ones from Hell

Veterans Administration now failing
Allowing returned wounded Heroes to die
Hung out to dry on death sentence waiting list
While President Commander-In-Chief sits idly by

Immorality breaking America's heart
Dragged through unwanted sewers
Guns blamed for violence
Humans using them.... victims?

Accountability old fashioned word
Many not touching reality
Cowering before mere

Va Death Waiting List

Here Lies Veterans Administration Washington D.C. 2014
This government bureau and its chief secretary Shisenki refusing responsibility.
40 Arizona veterans died while on shameful death waiting list.
Chief saying he's "MAD AS HELL", to senate hearing then doing nothing.

Well, Mr. President, its time to fire your VA chief and apologize for this failure.
These brave veterans have been allowed
