American Pride

Americans are proud people
bringing peace to every steeple
causing wars they will not do
destroying enemies for their due
eating fast foods they will 
forgetting all the thrill
God’s a tricky subject for some
having faith but no one will come
Indians have lost their lands
jackpot slots replace their sands
Kamikazes hit us hard
no one held a winning card
military keeps us safe
nuclear threat is unsafe
open arms policy long gone
Policing neighbors? Should be done
quit pollution always a goal
recovery is in my skull
science against religion
we’re better than a pigeon
understanding is the key
I hope we’ll always be free
war should never be the answer
with many falling to Cancer
youngsters keep growing up quickly
with parents becoming sickly
hold on to that American pride
we’ll take on challenges with stride

A thousand voices
one thousand and one orders
boot camp is over

Pizza Night

playing cards waiting
pizza in the microwave
wasn’t bad at all

Mlb Begins

Preseason Baseball
two-thousand-sixteen
is now underway
oh what fun it is
watching baseball played

the grapefruit league
the cactus league
in Florida
Arizona

who'll make team
and who won't
get in shape

April
for real

play

being made most of the time
honesty no more

I have memories of them
but I do not dwell

Marriage of Hell

Dressed in white she was
five years later I'm in jail
Marriage was pure hell

Stuttering Life

A stuttering life
a life of being ignored
judged without knowing
