Eyes of Time, do you get tired
in the heavens high above
as you see the world play out
with all its hate and love?
Yes, I am the Eyes of Time,
and of love, I never tire.
There are many ways to love,
from kindness to desire.
I watch with sweet pleasure
when a young man takes a wife,
and soon there is a baby,
and I thrill at newborn life.
Yet, when I watch men fight wars,
and see them clash and die,
(both sides, virtuous and right)
these Eyes of Time must cry.
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.

Vampire Iran is sniffing out Israeli veins
Xi buzzards are circling the lotus Taiwan
Putin is feeding on the flesh of Ukraine
Nuclear wizards are waving their wands.
Some seven years after the war, food was still scarce and costly,
Yet, I would never change anything that life hadn't brought me.
We hardly noticed the ruins around, houses and churches,
It became a sort of adventure; hidden ghosts were just searches.
We never had a proper football, but one made of old cloth.
We played, cheered if we scored and had fun in that smooth piece of swath
Ma was mad as we played in the rain when we put paper boats.
I ran in the rill by the side of the gutter, watching the floats.
Hot summer was great, swimming and diving sea urchins to find,
Then, it is eaten with bread, oil, tomatoes, and fruit of every kind.

Note: I wrote this pem ages ago but never posted. Unfortunately we are in the brink of a new war.
War and only war
Many flags are raised with pride
You can only die
The world is at war with attacking drones silent
the sky
Delivering it's deadly load on the people who are about to die
This assassin's tool that delivers pain in a stealth and deadly silence
Belongs in the war of today bringing hate death and violence
You will not hear it's engine just maybe a little bit of humming
You will have no idea where it is or from what direction it will be coming
The drone started as a toy intended for children to play
Not to used in silent attacks and to take innocent lives away
I remember,
Lestweforget,
And the phrase:
Between the wars,
Said during:
Times of peace.
soldiers march in rows
gun smoke floats like puffy clouds
a battle is won
An elder berry said to one who was blue
“My lad, is there something you rue’
The youngster replied, “I haven’t a clue”
“Let us partake of this here rabbit stew
‘Capital idea,’ thus Sir Elderberry,
‘I hear tell it’s an excellent brew.’
“That’s the whole problem,” replied ‘Mr. Blue’
“I’m only 12, too young to drink, Elderberry ~ unlike you
THE AGONY OF TODAY’S NATURING TIMES
Winter may be gone,
But springing world war is here;
Bombing away life:
Nuclear power mongers,
Exercising their nature:-
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
The war to end all wars; has been fought'
Yet the world sum, of peace total
It remains at naught.'
If I could, I would travel around the
world to gain experience and learn,
If I could, I would watch an ocean’s swirl at the break of dawn.
If I could, I would wave a magic
wand to purify the air,
So that we could breathe without worry or fear.
If I could, I would make chaos and
wars stay buried in the past,
If I could, I would make it compulsory for friendship and tolerance to prevail and last.
But it seems all I can do is pray, pray,
and pray that there are no more rivers of blood and salty tears,
These thoughts I dared myself to
share,
As their weight is painfully heavy for
my gentle soul to bear.
If I could,
I certainly would.
