Love Child
A world unknown since the dawn of ages
Lays deep in the hearts of the truly wise
The truth revealed only in small stages
Perfection approached over swirling lies
What's more to love to surrender oneself
Falling into the arms of another
No piercing arrows of a little elf
For passion's fire despair will soon smother
Simple truth reflected in our nature
We must nourish a gentle loving race
A baby will cling to life we nurture
A time hard for our memory to trace
The value of every human life
Is equal in a world devoid of strife
Lays deep in the hearts of the truly wise
The truth revealed only in small stages
Perfection approached over swirling lies
What's more to love to surrender oneself
Falling into the arms of another
No piercing arrows of a little elf
For passion's fire despair will soon smother
Simple truth reflected in our nature
We must nourish a gentle loving race
A baby will cling to life we nurture
A time hard for our memory to trace
The value of every human life
Is equal in a world devoid of strife

Wouldn't it be nice if we cared for and valued every human being like a newborn baby?
JUST SAYING IV
Importance of all lives should be the same
it never becoming reality is a shame
Integrity in every sport long ago died
denying it suggest you just lied
The mentally distraught are unjustly deemed crazy
procrastinate a euphemism for 'too damn lazy'
The facts expressed are hardly ever that
what's lost is always wear it was last at
Politicians could care less about society
self-serving is their ONLY priority
The United States is foreigners dream place
humans have fallen short of a humane race
Media is a sinister conduit inducing unhealthy stress
political correctness birthed an irreparable mess
it never becoming reality is a shame
Integrity in every sport long ago died
denying it suggest you just lied
The mentally distraught are unjustly deemed crazy
procrastinate a euphemism for 'too damn lazy'
The facts expressed are hardly ever that
what's lost is always wear it was last at
Politicians could care less about society
self-serving is their ONLY priority
The United States is foreigners dream place
humans have fallen short of a humane race
Media is a sinister conduit inducing unhealthy stress
political correctness birthed an irreparable mess

Inspired Meditation to Change the World
Intelligent observation with the dubious nerve to print the word
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love
Idioms of our entire species considered simply because
Together we unconditionally forgive and care for each other
Animated in essence as we share this planet, our great Earth Mother
Temperance in the true definition, softening our angry demeanor
Intrepid to explore the future without the acidity in our heart
Obviate worst expectations as each of us can and will do our part
Natant as we float on the pure energy of the divine to end and start
Thoughts evolving kinetic as they once were, no lies can be told
Oscillating between our differences as greatness unfolds
Sedulous in our goals with the end in mind for us to behold
Anticipation to deeds for the right and good of all
Visionary and efficient not repeating the fall
Exorcising the need for greed listening to the call
Training our minds to work miracles instead of chaos
Harkening to the global consciousness without a loss
Enlightened by the energy with our essence embossed
With freedom, liberty, literacy, prosperity and wealth
Organized by we the people of this blue planet in mean stealth
Recognizing our worthiness and a willingness to expel
Liege for no common reasoning in bigotry
Diligent efforts to erase hypocrisy
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love

About this poem:
A small taste of my political flavoringsThe Liberty Bell
What if distance didn't matter
And dreams all over planet roamed
Our minds never in such a tatter
Where angry seas never foamed
When such sacred love be universal
Peaceful tribes live side by side
Never needing this much rehearsal
For spreading all such love worldwide
Watch for signs for that which brings
Something greater is then progressed
Symbolic an old cracked bell rings
When people were feeling surpressed
And dreams all over planet roamed
Our minds never in such a tatter
Where angry seas never foamed
When such sacred love be universal
Peaceful tribes live side by side
Never needing this much rehearsal
For spreading all such love worldwide
Watch for signs for that which brings
Something greater is then progressed
Symbolic an old cracked bell rings
When people were feeling surpressed

What does the symbol of the Old Liberty Bell mean to me.....
Where Are You From?
Where are you from?
I am from Platteville, Wisconsin
I live in an apartment there
I used to live in Dickeyville, Wisconsin in a house
With my parents till I was 27
I lived in a foster home in Madison before age 3 and a half
I lived in a home of my natural parents before that
My grandparents came over in 1907 from Austria Hungary
They were German
So where are you from?
Did your relatives arive recently?
Did you move around the country you live in?
I have always lived in Wisconsin
There are some places if money wasn't an object I would like to live
Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Alaska, Ireland
Some places I would not like to live
Liberia, Somalia, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti, Bangladesh, North Korea
So where are you from?
And where are you going?
I am from Platteville, Wisconsin
I live in an apartment there
I used to live in Dickeyville, Wisconsin in a house
With my parents till I was 27
I lived in a foster home in Madison before age 3 and a half
I lived in a home of my natural parents before that

There are some places if money wasn't an object I would like to live

Some places I would not like to live
Liberia, Somalia, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti, Bangladesh, North Korea
So where are you from?
And where are you going?

About this poem:
Just pondering where people live and where they move to. We have certainly had our influx of new people in my small town, I can't say it is for the better.
Neighbors (part 1)
Once, everything finally set into place,
All got scattered out- deep into space,
Aliens, they're always watching me,
They hang with my neighbor,
From across the street,--
Strange lights and sounds,
As if making they're plans,
Speaking some language,
No one here could understand,--
So, I set up my perimeter,
Tripwire and landmines,
But, like angels from above,
Lights fell from the sky,--
(chorus): Is this real or in my head?,
What in the Hell is this?,---
Well, out came my neighbor,
Just as no surprise,
With a spacesuit on,
And a glaze in his eyes,--
"Why don't you come take a trip with me?"
"Good accommodations and upper class hospitality,"--
Imagine different places and different worlds,
But just like from Sling Blade,
He sounded like Carl!,--
"ah hmm, You shouldn't be singing songs like that,
you gonna scare these boys and girls! hmm,
Why don't yaw kids come on with me,
We'll go get some of them there French fried taters, ah hmm,--
(chorus) Is this real or in my head?,
Who in the Hell is this?,---
I took a few steps back,
And then I cocked my gun,
But, then came the military,
And the Air Force One,--
What I saw,
Please allow me to explain,
That Biden and the aliens,
Knew each other by name,--
Pissed off and hurt,
Well, my neighbor he walked on home,
His 15 minutes of fame,
That day is now long been gone,--
But, I still see him around,
Once in a while,
Staring towards space,
Wearing a smile!,--
(chorus) Is this real or in my head?
Where in the Hell is this?---
{{ The music fades as a Coocoo bird chirps louder; then,
different sounds of birds over sound into Neighbors
(part 2) Only The Birds Understand. }}

About this poem:
This song (poem) I wrote 1-18-11 should be easy to understand. It's about my neighbor and politics at that time and place; but, a few changes in my writing to fit into today. I once had a neighbor who claimed he was abducted by aliens and the way he spoke sounded actually just like Carl from Sling Blade. At that time Obama was president. This song is comedy.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
The pounding of the gavel can be heard
Throughout the land, or so it is said
Nothing but truth here shall be spoke
By no word or action to be misled
Wolf next to lamb he quietly stood
No twitch of lip or blink of eye
Twas nothing there to give away
Truth be said, there was something awry
The judge spoke, his voice so loud
So that all could hear and none in doubt
Decision reached, all truths been told
In this court, none the law shall flout
Matters not whether rich or poor
In life’s station low or held up high
Truth is truth, and the law is law
Without fear or favour judgement to apply
Having lectured on about fair and just
A twitch of lip, a wolf like grin
No surprises there when verdict read
The lamb had lost, the wolf did win
Throughout the land, or so it is said
Nothing but truth here shall be spoke
By no word or action to be misled
Wolf next to lamb he quietly stood
No twitch of lip or blink of eye
Twas nothing there to give away
Truth be said, there was something awry
The judge spoke, his voice so loud
So that all could hear and none in doubt
Decision reached, all truths been told
In this court, none the law shall flout
Matters not whether rich or poor
In life’s station low or held up high
Truth is truth, and the law is law
Without fear or favour judgement to apply
Having lectured on about fair and just
A twitch of lip, a wolf like grin
No surprises there when verdict read
The lamb had lost, the wolf did win

Post CommentThe Olympic Flag
I watched the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi
The red ring failed to open up into a ring
The colors of the rings as well as the white background
Can be found on all the flags of the world
This is our first time competing in Russia
We boycotted the games played in 1980
The colors of the rings are blue, black, and red on top
With yellow and green on the bottom
I like the winter olympics better than the summer Olympics
My favorite is the ski jump
I also like the bobsled, luge, speed skating(short track)
Curling, freestyle skiing, and snowboarding
I like to watch hockey live as I do watch the Dubuque Fighting Saints
But like baseball, it just doesn't appeal to me to watch it on tv
Norway has the most winter Olympic medals with 303
The United States of America has the second most with 253
Austria takes third place with 201
The work involved to be an Olympian is tremendous
I think just to represent your country is a huge accomplishment
I wish them all much success and safety
As some of the events can be very dangerous
Luge and ski jumping come to mind
The safest would have to be curling
I would like to try that one some day
Ski jumping
Forget it!

We are sucked into the toe
a creeping silent body
We were stolen
Girls, Nigeria
Stolen
We cry
We know
We are alone
Is any body out there!

We were stolen
Girls, Nigeria
Stolen
We cry
We know
We are alone
Is any body out there!

300 Lost
Who agrees?
In the 1970's a prolific author & editor wrote:
Proclaim your rarity.
Ever since, many have written:
Insist on individualism.
Now, who would agree;
A vast difference between the two.
