2 Weeks of Hell

Today's Mother's Day  Cafe closed, I scream.
Going bonkers place to place wheelchair bound.
To irked to do whatnot I let off steam ,
Saturday, same crap. I wheelchair around.
Last week Cafe closed 3 days,no daydream.
Ice water and popcorn ,diet not sound
Times like this I do not know what to do
I feel put off on I surely feel screwed.

Beware the VIGI

Rage,rage against the coming of the night
What mends my smashed and sad shattered heart?
Is the VIGI  right, is there hope in sight ?
The food makes you sick ? Eat in the cafe

I cant help if  I feel  like an upstart
Turn a new leaf aloft time to restart.
Done for worms inside me what can  I say?
I feel trapped like a rat need a fresh  scheme

Where will you run to  if you do get loose
Stay where you are . A bird in a nice cage ?       
Lie to them -bad angle. Make  a new  plan

Grab the bull by the horns could cause a truce.
I know you feel  so  cramped thus you do rage
If you find peace somehow  your are  da ma

Ode To Communicating with a Cedar Tree

Strophe
I
O ancient cedar tree so grand and wise
In BC’s old growth forest ,I found thee
I sat beneath your trunk and asked advice ;
I sensed the presence of  the cedar tree 
II
I  received a riposte to my surprise
Cedar shouted my blood dead  ?  Ask my rede ?!
Begone two legs I will  not  speak this twice
Clear  cut plans  for old growth glens, sad ,'nuff  said

III
I find these trees are beatific and  grand.
I grasp the cedar’s  anger ,felt dismay.
Its views I did not  dismiss out of hand.
I got up when done without a delay.

Antistrophe
I
The Angel Oak ,Redwood trees  are lovely too.
There are more beatific trees that  folk will find.
The next road trip you take find them can  you?
This method is broadly  better design.
II
Clear cutting  of a forest,not a crime.
Helps species that cannot endure the  shade,
Wisely used younger trees gets sunshine.
Trees that can not stand the shade have it made
III
Feeling bad about seeing forests tree free
Try tree planting along denuded frontier
Hard work to bring back its ancient beauty
And tree seeding  is gold   ,be a volunteer

Epode
I
Huge Ancient  trees with such a huge life span.
All ancient trees cry out to be adored
Pick and choose,you’re a narrow minded man.
Mind meld with  trees is your reward.
II
Clear  cutting cost is to high for younger trees
And boreal clear cutting -a climate threat
They need light ,try selective  cutting  please.
And stop this action there will be no regret

III
Balance is scales of justice is the best scheme
Keep the woods  for a-future generations
Create an ecosystem that is a dream 
Reforestation has vast reparations

Looking for love in all the wrong places

I’m the best in the West, I am true Blue.  
 I’m the Beast of the East, time to score.    
Choose me -I will always love you.         
I dreamed it all   I got screwed for sure.   

 I’m the Beast of the East, I hope to score.  
I am 62,single  am infirm                     
. I dreamed it all   I got screwed for sure.       
I am tarnished vase but still firm  .           

I am 62,single  am infirm.         
Go to park meet some cutie.       
I am tarnished vase but still firm.       
I miss the old days,I got booty.    

Go to park meet some cutie. 
Choose me -I will always love you
I miss the old days,I got booty
I’m the best in the West, I am true Blue

Pathetic Ballad of Mrs Longpre

The woman next door yells Help me!
She swears like a  sailor 
Is she insane or that's her game ?
She’s a bloody wailer

Inside my room,”pipe down” I yell
In hall I say, “quiet” 
In her room, she yells  “Go to Hell”
This hap’s  a bloody riot

She screams follies, I get no peace
Full of gall what a whore.
I wish her scornful ways would cease
Her style cruel that’s for sure.

She complains about the food here
The food here I can’t stand 
She gripes about service yah hear
Two points she gets ok.

If she does want better treatment 
Please do not use trash talk 
The staff will so take  care of you
Folks who pass her won’t gawk.

A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods              
 These are some of my favoured trees,  I say                   
 General Sherman -a most ancient tree                 

Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree
All the ancient trees ;divine  to behold
Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree  I say
Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry
Giant cedars ,grand -behold the Redwoods
 Those who wreck  ancient forests go to Hell

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell
The huge red oak is one hell of a tree
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods
Angrboda ‘s tree -lovely to behold
Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry
Politicos should pay a price: I say

Old growth forests are a biome,  I say
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
 Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry
 I sat still under a huge cedar tree
 Hike thru these forests a sight to behold
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods

I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods
 I'm wheelchair bound  do not know what to say
Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold
The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell
  Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree
 Most of the old growth gone makes me angry

Logging roads in BC grave ,I’m angry 
Love to muse beneath a pair of Redwoods
What type of vibe will I get from that tree?
 Protest the harm of old growth woods; I say
 If you don’t  help out ,I'm angry as Hell
 Clear  cut woods from a plane -shock to behold

Envoi:
Burn  old growth woods angry I say
 Stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell
  An Angel oak tree I want to behold

Going Broke

According to Quebec Health rules.    
On welfare 95% you pay.                
And my mind is like  twisted tools
Living in a nursing home is this way. 

On welfare 95% you pay.                  
Life in a gold cage ; few perks here.    
Living in a nursing home is this way.
And foodie events bring cheer.   

Life in a gold cage ; few perks here.     
 My own room .Sunday eggs and bacon. 
 Foodie events bring cheer. 
I live here with little cash taken. 

My own room .  Sunday eggs and bacon. 
And my mind is like  twisted tools
Live here with little cash taken. 
According to Quebec Health rules.

Evolutionary Letter Number Two

Day 1
I am a wheelchair warrior
It is August-Hel's rune ,Ear is here
What needs to die in the next 5 days?
That which hinders  growth anyways
US sends USS Georgia to Hell's Armpit
Bad move by America, I fear
Lloyd Austin sent the orders ,he's a twit
Is Ragnarok knocking at Nerthus's door ?
Nobody knows for sure.
Day 2
A child shows he has a chicken to eat,
Israeli troops beat a 7 year old boy,
War is rotting innards ;eating  foul  a treat,
Atrocious behavior  what is your ploy?
Priestly law allows for the killing of kids,
Karma is a boomerang  ,Hells Armpit,
Most folks won't stand for Rabbinical 
Day 3
Israhell claims they are the most just country 
around,
Hells Armpit claim shaky and not too sound.
The planet at large opposes  Hells Armpit,
And Israhell  is slowly going to .
 Palestinian   bodies everywhere seen,
And how do activists stop the war machine ?
Joe gives 10 billion to Hells Armpit again,
This support by America  I condemn.
Giving away funds to Hells Armpit must go
And funds for fighter planes,the status quo ?
Israhell’s approval  is slowly  rotting away
 And Ear’s hand in Israel fall ,clear  I say
Day 4
 Voting in the U.S. a joke
 Red and Blue are a war machine
These regimes foul, time to vote Green
Voting in the U.S, a joke

 Red and Blue are a war machine
And choice in elections -a joke
It makes an aware person- choke
 Red and Blue are a war machine

And choice in elections -a joke
The News -if civic stop the spin
Stop watching fake news  -no tailspin
And choice in elections -a joke

The News -if civic -stop the spin
Stop slow U S system decay
Ear had a hand in it ;no way !
The News -if civic- stop the spin

Voting in the U.S -a joke
 Red and Blue are a war machine
These parties foul,time to vote Gree
Voting in the U.S, a joke men 
Day 5 
A bullet proof glass cage for Donald. Trump.
What mental skills you use to make your day .
Kamala Harris and the Gender Gap.
War with Iran more blood on the States hands .

Young men do like Trump an amusing sign,
The Democrats hate Trump they love to whine,
Trump is now safe from shooters, still a chump,
A  bul.let proof glass cage for  Donald Trump..

I practiced medical Qi Gong long ago,
The school I went to was  Wu.Dang dojo.,
It gave me energy  to cope I say,
What mental skills you use to make your day..

Some men like Harris ‘cause she is youthful,
My position today is I am neutral.,
And women get Harris ,that is the rap 
Kamala Harris and the Gender Gap..

America in a war with Iran?
America thrift tanks the trouble just began,
 Iran revolts and give the States it demands,
War with Iran more blood on the States hands.

Random Radical Reflections

America gets fooled at the ballot box 
Bucky Fuller shined a light out of duopoly’s might
Can America get unstuck,see the light ?
Do vote for what you Want,this will seal the deal
Every vote counts,if it is not same o’ same ‘ o crap
Forego anyone who supports the MIE,that’s the rap
Go for a party that can advance some utopian ideal

Help the Earth become a beautiful place to live,
Insure everyone in your ‘hood is taken care of,
Jill Stein’s manifesto -a breath of fresh air,
Know her manifesto with an open mind- if you dare,
Love everyone with a flaming heart,
Mankind is your kin for the most part.

No more thinking third parties are spoiler votes,
Only you can bring the change,
People have to stop drinking the duopoly’s cool aid,
Question everything.
Read Radical Mycology by Peter Maccoy,
Such an eye opening book you will enjoy.

Thevenusproject.com shows the future,
Utopia or Oblivion by Fuller,shows the facts of life,
Verily look at book for future direction,
Why would you want anything less than perfection?
Xenophobia in our brave new world has no part.
You can be a trail blazer-shine your light.
Zion,not Isreal,paradise on Earth will reign  suprem

Elegy to Alan and Michael

I miss you Michael a really great friend 
When I dropped by your flat you  got me high
Gave me game DVD’s to the end
Brain cancer killed you, so sorry good bye

You were on a morphine drip to kill pain 
Shocking to see the way you were in bed
My visit to you was not done in vain
Drained of life,I was shocked, you did look dead 

Alan you were a great friend to the end
You were great at doing air brush art too
You are Freewheeling Franklin -I commend
He died falling down a stairwell it’s true
