9/11/2001

On the eleventh day of September Two-thousand one
planned attacks on American soil were successfully done
Nation's belief of invincibility instantly turned to fear
while the vile perpetrators rejoice in victorious cheer

Inhumane Radical Islam reared it's hideous head
nation and allies abroad mourn thousands dead
Terrorist are born and bred in the Middle East
so-called allies willfully harbor these savage beast

Some believe bureaucrats were part of avoidable fate
if truth ever surfaces society may angrily vent hate
All civilized nations concur terrorism MUST cease
culprits must be eradicated in the name of peace

They're convinced Americas' the true EVIL EMPIRE
desire to eliminate the 'Infidel' shall never tire
The world succumbing to Islam their end game
soulless terrorist slaughter innocent in Allah's name

Pretzel interpretation of Koran drastically blurs view
devoid of reason assures conflict can't reach through
To be so monstrous one is indubitably cursed
9/11/2001 the day remembered as our histories worst

WHAT I SEE

Seeing this wicked world through my eyes
sorrow is so apparent I can hear the cries
Nothing is really as it should be
humanity gone bad is 'What I See'

Respect in every facet of life has obviously gone astray
humanities moral fiber decays a bit more each day
Advocates of 'faith' molest children without losing position
validation of just how truly pathetic the human condition

'What I see' are people embracing evil like it's no longer wrong
while aggressively eliminating goodness as if it doesn't belong
Unfortunately things are steadily going to get even worse
this world has become infected by some irreparable curse

'I see' sanity streaking towards the brink of eradication
a world so precarious its fate inevitably extinction

Kickits challedge (crooked fence)

A thousand steps
walking a crooked fence
where dreams were
laid to rest.
For all to see
and come to pay
homage to thee.
For on certain days
flowers would
appear here there.
Almost all would
have them one day
or another for
they were are lost
military brothers
and sisters you
see the ones who
fought for
you and me.

Glory

Firecrackers rise
into summer’s cloudy skies.
Where is freedom’s ring?

Children At Home

In response to a poem of a battlefield scene where only one soldier remains alive and wonders what it was for.
Children At Home

But then the soldier quickly remembered
That children at home could know,
Without visions of friends dismembered,
A life where freedom and love could grow.

That is the cost that freedom demands,
Where evil has always tried to rule,
For all to submit to the dire commands
Of tyrants that govern as a fool.

So a warrior knows better than anyone,
The price that freedom will cost,
So seek their wisdom before the gun,
For they know what both sides lost.

There is no happiness in celebration,
But gratitude others are spared,
From being sent by a worried nation
Because of the gift of they who dared.

Only fools would think that if we laid down our arms,the rest of the world would too.Let those fools put their children on the front lines with no weapons to greet the enemy.

My emerald home

Rugged northern landscape
southern sandy beaches,
the wonders of nature
is one thing it teaches

Born from adversity
rebellion,famine,opression
lessons learned from history
have lead to progression

Steeped in culture
poetry,song and dance,
the forefathers stories
of deep romance

So friendly the people
as we go through our day,
a "cead mile failte"
to enjoy your stay

Tasting the black stuff
the craic agus ceoil
the songs and the stories
to lighten the soul

But economy's hand
forces many to flee
to lands of opportunity
a bhristeach mo chroi

Despite the faults
of present and past
my love for my home
forever will last.

Ireland's warrior queen

Feet of stealth
fists of fury
mind of a champ
thing of beauty
is she the best?
she is surely,
Ireland's warrior queen

Voice so humble
focused mind
Irish athlete
of a different kind
generation inspired
joy we find,
Ireland's warrior queen

Battling bravely
facing blows
even harder
when she throws
thumping jab
never slows,
Ireland's warrior queen

Mna na heireann
have you seen
the greatest among you
mean and lean
nation rejoices
gold meets green,
Katie Taylor
Ireland's warrior queen.

Just Because (mac challenge)

Just because I am an Australian
I dont say "G'day mate "
but I am extremely friendly
and this is how Aussie's rate.
I don't have a beer or a Barbie
however a Holley I have as a Carbie.
Nor do I own a pet kangaroo
but I have definately been known
to tell a joke or two

Just because I am Aussie girl
I don't wear boots or a cowboy hat
work in the city and I live in a flat.
I don't live in the outback
my place is not a shack
no Koala's hiding in my trees
though maybe a possum or two
definately no Emu
occasionally dead on the side of the road
I do see a kangaroo. :(

Just because I am Australian
Im only first generation
Which causes a large amount of sensation
and Im not sure I can even be called an Aussie brat
with sweedish/Mauri heritage what breed is that?
A blonde green eyed sweedish/Kiwi
as crazy as that be.

Just because we are Aussies
we laugh and joke and muck about
and a round at the bar we will always shout
our blokes are positive happy fellas
who want a sheila on there arm
We would rather you not call us that or they may be harm!
Aussie girls are not all ockers
same as the British are not all punk rockers.
though I dont mind the soccer
Sport is an australian way of life
doesnt matter if we watch or play
we will cheer it on throughout the day.

Just because I am Aussie
not all aussie girls act like boys
even if some of us drive the hotted up toys
I am a lady and I wear a dress
I am quite happy to get my hands dirty I do confess.
I am tough and strong
but I wear my nails long
I say she'll be right
and I get up each day and fight.

Just because I am Aussie
I am there for my Mates and strangers too
I helped out in the fires & floods
just because it is what neighbours do
We give all to those who are without
and we help the farmers through the droughts
As a nation we feel the pain
when the land goes so long with out the rains.
Our country cries when there is loss and devastation
but we band together as a nation
Just because we are Australian.

we respect the land in which we live
We say "Sorry"
and the best attitude we have is to forgive.
"no worries mate" or "she'll be right"


Just because we are Aussie
you are all welcome here
so G'day Mate.

Shine On Jamaica

Jamaica a country ever so small
Standing gloriously so big and tall
The world you irritate
By your accomplishments and achievements so great
Your sons and daughters set the pace
Which others imitate
What your children originate
Others recreate and fake
Those that brag and boast that they lead
Are dazzled by your speed
Desiring to get for themselves the honor and glory
They suppress and hide your story
Yes some of your children are really bad
That is just the few
So the foreign media go into every nook and cranny to pry
So that about you they may spread lies
Wanting that it never come to light
That in which they take so much delight
Belong to your children by right
With envy they would have you in shame
Spreading bad things about your name
There are those that seek fortune and gain
By Pirating brand Jamaica ‘s fame
Jamaica your children’s achievement is not limited to your land
On the international stage they are grand
In spite of efforts to suppress
The world acknowledge your children’s success
The prowess of one is the prowess of all
Out of many, one people

In Memory of the Nurses in Wartime

They attended the same school in Brooklyn,
always kept to themselves as a rule.
Like three peas in a pod,they all seemed alike,
didn't go with the flow,just to seem cool.

Most nights you could find them together,
on the roof of their tenement house.
All dressed the same in their navy blue slacks
with a bright crimson ribbon pinned to their blouse.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour,
they enlisted and entered the fray.
Caring for soldiers ,attending their wounds,
surrounded by horrible scenes ev'ry day.

It wasn't just men who gave up their lives
for the freedoms that we now enjoy.
Those three girls and more,died on tropical shores,
here's remem'bring the young girls,who took care of the boys.
