There are strokes that come from various
sources
These strokes can be words that turns to
strikes
There are words that hit harder the first of a
pugilist
And there are words that calm the nerves like
a balm
We are all wordsmiths mastering our trade with
strokes
Some of the words uttered carelessly have caused
wars
While some carefully grafted words has ceased
strife
History has an array of predilection of such
issues.
We carefully and judiciously use the resources
of the word we have.

Nostradamus -
more prophetic that host o' llamas;
his predictions would stun.
He said there'd be a war - a big one!
Alan Turing,
in history you were securing
the place that you would be taking
by vital and ingenious code breaking.
The Vietnam War was on the news when I was in high school
The ones who got sent over to be fodder were from poor counties
Sons of congressmen and senators were not drafted
But other men were readily plucked up and sent over
To morbidly hot jungles full of mosquitos and the enemy
More got blown up or killed than came home intact
If they went over as an officer, they were killed by their own men
Usually in eight minutes
Why? Because if there is no officer to lead, you do not have to fight
Many of these young men were not fighters, they did not want to be soldiers
They had been involuntarily drafted, with little training
If they lasted one year, they could return. Most did not make it.
I remember,
Lestweforget,
And the phrase:
Between the wars,
Said during:
Times of peace.
Did the Yankees win?
Without sin
Challenging monarchy rule
Characterizing King as a fool
Escaping angry courts
Exploring adventurous ports
They came to a new world
Searching for patriotic pearls
Combatting rag tag war
Against red coated boars
Who thought they knew best
Putting rebellious subjects under arrest
Charging them for throwing tea
Into the Boston Harbor Sea
Defined as freedom of speech
Protest reached
Many others
American brothers
Wanting representation when taxed
Stating facts
Until the royals surrendered
Historians remember
A Mount Vernon daddy long-legs
was pregnant with ten thousand eggs.
You might call what she did a shameful deed
with a Monticello centipede,
and yet...not long after Valley Forge,
that monstrous army defeated a proud King George.
NELLA’S BLESSING
Today is a good day to remember the words of John Steinbeck
as we watch our democracy being dismantled…
for the sake of one man’s immortality…
“A society of free individuals is stronger in the long run
Than a totalitarian power dependent on herd mentality.”
If history is any indication…we know what is in store
because it is always the herd men and women who win the battles…
but free men and women who win the wars.
~~ December 7 is Pearl Harbor Day ~~
Pearl Harbor Day is here
‘Day of Infamy’
in American History
And yet, I bet
Most today forget
our Dec. 8 mindset:
Outraged and out for blood
To be Japanese in America
was to be human mud
We showed those Japs
Locked ‘em away
In internment camps
For three years and a day
And now, 84 years later
Are we any better today
So much hatred in the world
Nary a banner humbly unfurled
From the leaders on down
Reason on lockdown…
War, blood and guts thrive
In every century well and alive
In death, can respite ever lie
when bullets and bombs darken the sky
Heroine of France
Fair Joan did England falter
Now Charles takes up throne
The selfish egos of war
comes not from birth, rather chaos
and the turmoils of life
These corruptors of history are us!
And warrants our demise
While we dig graves to bury our dead
We turn, wearing our disguise of greed and deceit
Their blood washes through our hands
It drips from our veins and crawls like a vine
Armies parade, bring out the band
So we can bow our heads for the loss of life
and celebrate the marble stones all in a row
We, the people, are the selfish egos of war
need not be conspiracy
nor parade of lunacy
or ignore bear
and fold in despair
putin put in prison
with warlords clinton bush
obama trump biden
to gehenna all push
this coincidence
though not providence
consequences still apply
when russians die
iranian friends fry
hezballah hamas fail
gazans who live do so in hell
created by modern israel
who is loved by corina machado
asking hatchet for maduro machado
and gives aid to our good saint zel
so progressives pink washed
don't want you be squashed
but let this sink in
as advocate violence
and boost cause silence
merrikka israel win
time after time again
for sake of all love god
don't be a brain clod
while ukraine remains cannon fod
Benedict Arnold
took a bride
who batted her eyes,
and said, "which side?"
"the Brits?", he slowly uttered -
knowing which side his bread was buttered.
Though blitzkrieg bombs drop like rain
We Brits shall smile with shear disdain
My Cuban cigar now bursts aflame
Like a dawn that ends our darkest hour
And burnt tobacco falls from its tip
Like future Nazi ashes they drip
From the bloody jaws of victory we will snatch defeat
I shall grab my bowler and cane to stroll down Downing Street.
