Beschreibung

It seems I was blessed or maybe cursed to see poetry in everything. If a Place or person or even a situation does not have poetry,it in my opinion has no right to exist.

We should always endeavor to at the very least allow our words to undertake the same journey as our eyes and once this is achieved we may actually be ready to let our words undertake the journey of our souls.

So sit back and let me share my journey with you, maybe I can shine a little light into your darkness or even bring a little darkness to your light.  In so doing maybe we can both achieve a little balance in this crazy world.

Inside my mind

Its poetry you will find

As always this body of work is dedicated to the women in my life. My beautiful and supportive wife Michelle and our three girls - Bokkie the hunting dachshund; Pugsly the lap warming pug and Olive the bringer of kisses and our youngest pug child.BookRix GmbH & Co. KG81371 Munich

The time is now

It seems want and greed

Have taken over from need

Now everybody just takes

We seem to be surrounded by snakes

What happened to self respect

The need to guide and protect

We are living among savage beasts

Our weak and elderly are their feasts

Stand up now and be counted

Before you are surrounded

Fight for our women and our weak

Now is not the time to be meek

Its time to step into the fire

We can no longer wait to see what will transpire

Legends will be forged

When on vengeance we are engorged

The time has come for blood

It will flow through the streets like a flood

It is time to rise

We will no longer allow them to terrorize

Like those who went before

Our heritage we will restore

Regardless of the price

This evil we must excise

 

 

Heros

They were just eighteen

Innocent, wholesome and clean

Then their people called

They were whipped into shape and overhauled

Marched into battle

Like so many cattle

With our brothers we would learn to kill

Fear into the hearts of our enemy we would instill

In combat fearsome and wild

Yet deep inside still a child

Before us none would stand

We were willing and did die for this land

They may have taken our childhood

But they gave us this brotherhood

Everyday I see it in their eyes

We all have the ability to recognize

We share a common past

Our bonds are forged and not cast

When the rest have fled

These are the men the enemy will dread

You may think he is just a zero

But this is the child soldier turned hero

He may now be a little grey

But your enemies he will surely slay

When he stands beside his brother

Rage and courage you will discover

They know not how to run or lose

With bravery they do each other infuse

They are the kind of men who know only victory

And will gladly die for liberty

A different prescription

Wether you need equilibrium

With some lithium

Or total bliss

With some cannabis

Always do what is required

For you to remain inspired

Only you know what you need

Be it magic mushrooms or honey mead

Only you can hear the music

That is for you so therapeutic

So pay no heed

To those who want to impede

This is your only chance

Your life dance

So swing and run and jump

While sucking on your asthma pump  

Never doubt that you are perfect

While your insulin you inject

Everybody needs an additive

To navigate life's narrative

Wether its health food or exercise

We all use something to maximize

Yours is just a prescription
