The War Machine

The convoluted politician said 
Our son saluted all the missions led 
Against dissent and presence of mind 
To end the offense in essence a crime
On innocent victims unwilling to kill 
With dissident feelings wanting to fulfill
Dissent and present an order for
Citizens and soldiers to abort war
Instilling a willingness to survive 
And be unwilling in killing lives
As political systems thrive
On cynicism and drive
Propaganda and rhetoric 
Where we are fed and tricked 
Imploring deplorable scenes
Of blood and gore and warring regimes 
With lies to why we redeem our dreams 
To die in wars without peaceful means
In lives of fear formed in between 
What drives the gears
Of the war machine

Simple Musical

Melody moment and 
Delicate riff
Having a magical
Mellow gift
Of charisma in rhythm
And harmony
With visions of wisdom
Charming to sing
Poetical spelling and
Compelling words
Enveloping the developing
World hurled into a faithful
Hope playing to devote a note
Heard in a musical rhyme
To soar into beautiful and kind
Hearts apart from fear to nurture
And find time endearing a future
Loving something greater than hate
In a simple musical as we await fate
Of the people going to great lengths
To give and live with forgiving strength

Ultimately

Every poem is an act of accomplishment
A creative force generating
The success of completion 
With every word carefully placed 
To create a form worthy of God 
A sense of creation fulfilling intrigue 
To complete the self esteem 
Every poem is a creation 
With every word connected 
To a community of ideas
In a sense to share the hope 
Anything imagination 
Can endeavor

The Nursing Home

Laying in diapers drenched
Pressure sores and stench
Scream voices from little old ladies
Wanting out to find their babies
Do not take them away from all the pain
They have become as they anticipate
And wait for their life saving son
Nobody drinks the water here
In fear they won't get changed
You're out of luck when your mind's amuck
Running aged and deranged
Nobody wants to end up here
Live, before you do
Have to go where no one knows
How to help you through
Falling down recalling how you use to remember
Before you found no way around excuses to surrender
If you could you would have a faith without a doubt
As you blunder to stand ascunder
You wait to find no way out
In a place where you lie and face
Wonder all alone
With a fate to deteriorate and die crying for home
How can man allow them to stand and lay their bodies down?
At the cost of such a loss to stay and never to be found
Keeping them alive until their last dying breath
Is a disgrace to this place dignifying death
Engage the mind and find a kind of quality in life
Before the door closes more with apology and strife
We never want something like this to happen to us
Or them, forever denying all the dying, distrust they must defend
As witness and victims of the system without a voice or choice
I speak for the weak too afraid to seek a freedom to rejoice
From the vain unchanging chains fettering their mentality
Becoming strained in all the pain remaining their reality

Christian Vision

An eagle is peaceful pouncing on a snake
As a killer whale kills the seal tasting great
The shark is as smart as the food he eats
As we dance with a chance to romance defeat
With wisdom of the victim defeated in the system
As they have vision in the decision to be in a position
To fulfill the will, not to kill the victim
But have the nerve to be served and serve in the system
As the great white shark remarks on faith
Is it not kind to find they accomodate?
For prey to not want to dominate
As they pay the price upon the plate?
I find the prey with the right insight
They niether try to fight or take flight into the night
As they delight in the light to stay out of fights
Despite the fright the darkness encites
They choose to be of use, rather than use
They console the soul, rather than control
They are like a savior, with good behavior
As they reach for peace with favor to savor
They follow and swallow the offering
Borrowing from the pain of suffering
As they agree with the sea
We should pray to be the prey!
Taking heed to concede
As they display in the fray

Global Warming

There goes our ozone
one more hole to our demise

For all we know, it's over our heads
instead we act surprised

With factory pollution, and carbon
emissions with U.V. warnings

All our excuses to justify uses but not
admitting to global warming

Infuriating and deteriorating
right before our eyes

Carbon monoxide is a preogative
as we continue to deny

Causing tornado's to twist
and hurricane's to rain

While the calamity holds humanity
fair share to the blame

For climate change
dynamic and strange

On a fatalistic cliff
A warning for global warming

With a cataclysmic shift
like volcano's first transformation

When the earth was formed
and when the asteroid hit the planet

Killing the dinosaurs that roamed
like the ice age was a page ripped out of history

How do we allow ourselves
to witness catastrophe?

As we have damaged
to our disadvantage

And to all our death
like a bandage we can't imagine

Can be finally managed and addressed
as we go on bleeding knowing we are needing

To heed our savageness
and give a chance to enhance

Our environs with a lavishment
As we confess to this mess and

Believe before we leave
We can heal and deal with what is real
living responsibly

Reclining In The Den

Cigar and brandy after dinner retreat
Is typically cynical and literally defeats
Discussing each political ideal
Because deceit leaves little appeal
For conservative perspective
Or liberal view
In a nutshell, the elect, selected to do
Amazing changes in the world today
To end all wars and use sustainable ways
But with a cover-up there is silence
Leading to more guns and violence
In a democracy of hypocrisy
And propaganda
A policy we all can see is underhanded
The solution to help is held in defiance
Compelling us to be with more self reliance
Without financing a war mongering state
Or wondering how we are great with hate
Ever since persistant insistance is cleverly
Severing togetherness forever leveraging
Business as usual in games without names
And witnesses refusal to remain without shame
Seeing the culture for what we are
Freedom with soldiers and callous hearts
Abstaining from complaining and sustaining harm
In a domain remaining vain and armed
As we fight despite disease and discord
A plight we can right with peace, not war
