The Greatest Happiness Principle (acrostic)
The sovereign masters, pain and pleasure
Greatest choice, what we should treasure
Good from evil, as right from wrong
For cause and effect the other one
The natural gift, a governance of two
Greatest amount is given pleasure too
Number up for those natural rights
Of ‘nonsense upon stilts’ he smites
People ruled in utalitarian plight
Greatest choice, what we should treasure
Good from evil, as right from wrong
For cause and effect the other one
The natural gift, a governance of two
Greatest amount is given pleasure too
Number up for those natural rights
Of ‘nonsense upon stilts’ he smites
People ruled in utalitarian plight

About this poem:
A poem to salute one of Britain's philosophersCitizenship
Citizenship
I am a citizen of this fair country
My hand on heart, a lump in my throat
When I see the Stars and Stripes raised
And the strains of Old Glory are played.
I am proud to be American
Proud of the people who live here
We stand for Justice, and Liberty
For the Freedom of Speech.
When the world is in conflict
We send our brave men
Only for them to come back
In coffins again, each one a hero.
We take the worlds oppressed
Give them food and water
And a decent life to live
In time, embrace them as our own.
Yes, I am proud to be called
A citizen of these States
A citizen of this great country
The United States of America.
I am a citizen of this fair country
My hand on heart, a lump in my throat
When I see the Stars and Stripes raised
And the strains of Old Glory are played.
I am proud to be American
Proud of the people who live here
We stand for Justice, and Liberty
For the Freedom of Speech.
When the world is in conflict
We send our brave men
Only for them to come back
In coffins again, each one a hero.

Give them food and water
And a decent life to live
In time, embrace them as our own.
Yes, I am proud to be called
A citizen of these States
A citizen of this great country
The United States of America.

About this poem:
Wrote this for a friend in the States who was writting a project on citizenship9/11 A Tribute
9/11 A Tribute
Though many years have passed
the memories still fresh in our minds
tears still fall from our eyes
for so many souls lost.
Let’s not forget the little children
that lost their lives that fateful day
not given the chance, wasted lives
each one now in heaven.
Let’s not forget the firemen or the police
who gave their lives so unselfishly
no fear in their eyes, just a job to be done
now hero's, everyone.
Let’s not forget the innocent people
who died that day all 2.000 of them
now shining bright as new stars in the heavens
eternally there for us to remember.
Let’s not forget that day
let them always be in our thoughts
our prays, our minds
let’s not forget 9/11...No never forget...

About this poem:
This was written as a tribute to the American people in their darkest hour...futilitarianism
Who made us begin this lame game in life
Constant Crisis,Endless Strife
Is it possible for one to not seek revenge
Until one brothers death is avenged
Who taught us this violent life we live
Why should man control ones right to live
Does peace become of us when this man is vanquished
Or only be gin a new cycle of anguish
Can life be lived with out cruelty
Is brutality our only instinct
History thus far has shown distinct
Is it too hard to ask for a change in our society
or will just one man decide for the entirety
Will the peaceful ever win
Where did this all begin
Try Stand up Be cast down
Their Money & fame;
Our Crisis & Pain
Can i live elsewhere Can i not complain
Do i need to be so critical
or am i just the one who is insane
Blamed is not to be blamed
Agreed life like this is lamer than lame
this life is in dark recess of futility
Constant Crisis,Endless Strife
Is it possible for one to not seek revenge
Until one brothers death is avenged

Late night typingPatridiotic
From crisis came fear
Adhered like roots
Tonic clonic temper

Society fights
Gathering loot
Behind Enemy lines
Wearing a suit
Never sell out
just play to win
Pride and honor
This country Defends
Adhered like roots
Tonic clonic temper

Gathering loot
Behind Enemy lines
Wearing a suit
Never sell out

Post Commentthe cradle
Survived after the war battle
Just felt the sin of divine purity
A gesture of pride and love ...
Moon of winter in ancient lands
What boggles the sweetness of the air
Swimming in the sea, ancient ruins
Ira God forgive us?
Dancing in seas of madness
The wind whispered songs of glory
sounds of another divine healing
What d'relief sighs history
One could only lust of the past
Where the boredom of a muse
Breathed the air of victory
Embrace of death will give us
In a further step in our history
Fraternal enemies, if embraced
That empire
Same time they are committing suicide
Warriors full of hate
Crawled behind the beat of our memory
Sounds divine, with a bloodbath
Lives and lives ... So much for the glory
Another lie stained with blood
Misery of our people
Now only ...
Our old Lusitania
Crying again
With a child
As snakes penetrate the hatred
Our pride in poisons
Until our last breath
He who condemns us today
fear that guides us
show me your safe place
with a mild dose of revelry
through which shines a safe haven
Just felt the sin of divine purity
A gesture of pride and love ...
Moon of winter in ancient lands
What boggles the sweetness of the air
Swimming in the sea, ancient ruins
Ira God forgive us?
Dancing in seas of madness
The wind whispered songs of glory
sounds of another divine healing
What d'relief sighs history
One could only lust of the past
Where the boredom of a muse
Breathed the air of victory
Embrace of death will give us
In a further step in our history
Fraternal enemies, if embraced
That empire
Same time they are committing suicide
Warriors full of hate
Crawled behind the beat of our memory
Sounds divine, with a bloodbath
Lives and lives ... So much for the glory
Another lie stained with blood
Misery of our people
Now only ...
Our old Lusitania
Crying again
With a child
As snakes penetrate the hatred
Our pride in poisons
Until our last breath
He who condemns us today
fear that guides us
show me your safe place
with a mild dose of revelry
through which shines a safe haven

About this poem:
it speaks about our historical country and our adventure.~Hero in Time~
The smoke clears
I can see through all the tears..
A man in uniform
Here to keep his country from harm..
Whither friend or foe
He has to know..
The heart is strong
And feels right from wrong..
If the story be told
There’s one more from the same mold..
Young boy to the man that be
Father would be proud of the man I see..
Grown up with lessons learnt
From pasted mistakes that burnt..
Feeling touch and hands reach out
Nothing needed, not even a shout....

About this poem:
For all the service men.'Cleopatra to the Asp'
The bright mirror I braved; the devil in it
Loved me like my soul; my soul
Now that I seek myself in a Serpent
My smile is fatal.
Nile moves in me; my thighs splay
Into the squalled Mediterranean.
My brain hides in that Abyssinia
Lost armies foundered towards.
Desert and river unwrinkle again
Seeming to bring them the waters
that make drunk. Caesar, Pompey, Antony I drank.
Now let the snake reign.
A half-deity out of Capricorn this rigid Augustus mounts
With his sword virginal indeed!
And has shorn summarily
The moon-horned river
From my bed. May the moon ruin him with virginity!
Drink me, now, whole, with coiled Egypt's past
Then from my Delta swim
Like a fish toward Rome.
Loved me like my soul; my soul
Now that I seek myself in a Serpent
My smile is fatal.
Nile moves in me; my thighs splay
Into the squalled Mediterranean.
My brain hides in that Abyssinia
Lost armies foundered towards.
Desert and river unwrinkle again
Seeming to bring them the waters
that make drunk. Caesar, Pompey, Antony I drank.
Now let the snake reign.
A half-deity out of Capricorn this rigid Augustus mounts
With his sword virginal indeed!
And has shorn summarily
The moon-horned river
From my bed. May the moon ruin him with virginity!
Drink me, now, whole, with coiled Egypt's past
Then from my Delta swim
Like a fish toward Rome.

About this poem:
This is Cleopatra's narrative to the snake that will take her life. She equates Egypt's history and prosperity to the Nile. The Nile Delta is metaphorically compared to her sexuality. She used her sexuality to control Rome's most powerful men. But one is now taking it away from her (Augustus Caesar). She hopes her son will "swim like a fish toward Rome" thus securing control over Rome and restoring Egypt's prestige. But it was not not to be. Augustus slew her child by Julius Caesar, thus Egypt became a Roman province and has never enjoyed it's former power since.
In Memory Of A Warrior Poet
In Memory Of A Warrior Poet
Wallace would not stay his arm’s long sword
nor the enemy, William’s own highland horde!
Because of the barbaric act of a cruel King foe
justice from a Scot’s husband his people now know!
Our warrior died with the loving of his wife
embroidered in his braveheart for eternal life!
Yet the arrogant enemy let his voice echo clear
to fly North for all true Scotsmen to hear!
No enemy can destroy a nation’s pride
No man’s freedom can a King deride
No mist is seen to hide the flower
No blade can cut away love’s power!
As my pen and national sword now collide
alas this patriot poet cannot describe
the man who fought and died in glory
for that warrior poet told his own story!
Now, if Scotland has no use for my peaceful pen
I cannot use a sword to see right done again!
The dream of a man and the spirit of a nation
today, cannot be satisfied with confrontation!
Though all Scots people must always remember
our greatest warrior who would not surrender!
Forget not also that his times are long gone
to be a free nation now we must all stand as one!
