INTERLUDE III

INTERLUDE III

Stars in the sky
Match scars in my eye
Missed beat
In marching feet
Drums of war
Go before
Fall in battle
The bones rattle
Raise a nation
Find Salvation
In a rugged Cross
Count all else loss
For today is the day
No...

Crazy and Derange

Crazy and deranged has the world gone insane. News on TV got you feeling unsafe.

 Wrong information shown by the media.

 Negative images is the main criteria


 Lights go out, knock at the door.

 Don't know who is at the door.

 Walk quietly...

ARIZONA

ARIZONA


  I have stood in the harbor

  On your far eastern shore

  Beheld the lady standing there

  With her torch held so high

Excuse Me

First off, I apologize for my attitude... I never meant to be rude...
I'm one man suffering in a world of what I should and shouldn't do... I'm not attempting to lose you...
In a perfect world there would be no me or no fools... I've yet to learn...

Coal once forced shines brightest

Caught in a storm of rememicent danger
Order knocked into chaos with vicious laughter
A raw emotion hidden within a shattered chest
Lightning flashes and a tumble for the failed child

Offal flies from a sewage, cracks within the very...

Colorado

I love it so
but stay away …
the mountains
prairies and streams

Each morning
the magic unveiling again
each night
a sky covered in dreams

I love it so
but stay away …
the cry of the wolf
in the snow

A warning to transients

As The Old Saying Goes...

Once those begin to sell sold,
A posing of a wholesomeness...
Hoping, if the public decides,
To select and pick...
Them to be the perfect ones,
Capable to restore...
A peace lived by all forevermore.
Like nothing else to witness before.

Love Is Above these Clouds

The world below, a canvas veiled in white,
Love is above these clouds, a soaring flight.
Storms rage unseen, where shadows twist and turn,
Yet here we fly, on wings that brightly burn.

Sunlight ignites the edges, soft and gold,
A whispered...

The Thought That Lingers: Part Eleven

The thought that lingers in our times
Is that of war; in times of peace
Wars of every culture
Wars of tribes, wars of nations
Wars too of religion.

Then there are wars of gender, wars of hatred
And there are always wars of passion

Sheep, Wolf, or Sheepdog?

Sometimes I'm like a lowly sheep
Just going here and there,
To find my food and go to sleep
Although, I don't know where!

Sometimes I'm like a wolf in search
Of unsuspecting prey.
My speed and sense of smell won't smirch
My predetermined...

Haven't you heard?

It was a real shocker
Thought you should know
Marjorie messed up bad.
Let her wits go.
Dressed like a harlot
Thought it was vamp.
So much unlike her.
Now just a tramp.
See here's a snapshot.
Ass way too tight
Cleavage a scandal
Changes a...

EarthCare

You visit Earth and give water,
Which greatly enriches the land;
Blessing birth of son or daughter,
Of parenthood as preplanned.

Full of water is the river,
Nourishment provided for grain;
For the growth it will deliver,
A rich crop yields...

The child

The child - I'm Larry I have brown hair and my brother Oren is a bully. He has blonde curly hair. My little sister has light brown hair she kicks a lot gets herself in trouble. I go to store almost every day read comics and then get the groceries....
