i want to hear in my iEar
i will wander on my iFeet
i can think with my iMind
endlessly iTalk until iRepeat

the best iWay to iGo iKnow
iStart, iWork, through my iDay
after hard iToil, iSlow...so
at night iLike iRest and iPlay

my iFriends iSee because
we view our iLives to iMax
they're iPeople, like iMe
so we iHangout to iRelax

iScreen between what iWant
though iLaughter is iBest
and what iNeed to iSucceed
iNever would have iGuessed

with my iCell i'M never iLone
always amorous of next iFad
i store iStuff, never iNough
what iThought i wanted, i had

wanting some iLove from iYou
and iCard filled with iDough
only what i'M entitled to
to help me as an iPerson iGrow

can iHelp you to understand?
can my iLife be understood?
do i even know my own iSoul?
did i ever iBelieve iCould?

Osama was just a bullet fired from a gun in Uncle Sam’s hand
Ameristani birth against a hammer and sickle held land
The enemy of our enemies is still just a killer with a gun
Children’s textbook jihad and the blowback had begun
Al Qaida and the Taliban both birthed from the eagles womb
Black money watered, crescent moon thorns below the bloom
Turning progressive to primitive, Lilith’s blood now gagged and bound
The clock is ticking backwards in this cold war stomping ground
A nation left to suffer for another chessboard square
The pawns fall for the kings and queens in this game of class warfare
Red threat gone, the jackals leave the scraps for fighting hounds
A world where violence rules, and educations out of bounds
Puppets limp, forgotten by the hands that worked the strings
The hawk has long departed, dripping blood from off its wings
But then the wings of jihad toppled the pillars of that nation
A violence now returning home, terrors germination
And so again the war machine returns to familiar places
This time in the open, not behind proxy native faces
Hunting for the mastermind whose banner they once supported
The man whose violent actions they once applauded and exhorted
The people they once armed because they were a useful tool
The wolves who have come forth from these the former Empire’s mules
But like always there’s hidden cogs and reasons left unspoken
The shadows from the public tale for invading a land broken
A handy place for pipelines that could feed the first worlds needs
A crop of green for missions black grown from the poppy seeds
To help the lapdog media weaves a tapestry of lies
Transforming names to numbers, unmanned death rains from the skies
Waving tattered flags and singing patriotic songs
Pumping propaganda till for war a nation longs
Jealous of our freedom runs a well familiar line
The war on terrors catchphrase of Orwellian design
True the reasons have to do with an aspect of being free
But more like free from the Empires deadly foreign policy
Free from military bases that are spread around the earth
Free from forced abortions halting real democratic birth
Free from corrupt collusions with human rights abusers
Free from civilian casualties, with their empty poor excuses
Free from a global bully extorting lunch money in the yard
Hypocrites that slander, with their own titles others tarred
The reasons for this hatred are those that walk the halls of power
The candy that they feed you blackens teeth and turns tongues sour
Dig a little deeper past the lies and pointing fingers
And above the smell of bullshit, find the scent of truth that lingers

You don't remember me but I remember you

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream

And dream I do.......

I believe in you

I’ll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You’re taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know ?

And all we had

You saw me mourning my love for you

And touched my hand

I knew you loved me then

I believe in you

I’ll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You’re taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

Bury the blame in protocol,
Drown the shame in alcohol,
Bury the names you don't recall,
Drown the flames and bury us all.

Don’t complain to me about life
If things were always that easy
Everything would be great

The sun and moon still rise
To a place where they feel safe
Can we all agree about that

The water is too hot or too cold
Whenever I need go for a swim
So I must somehow just adapt

Nothing else comes that close
To the warmth of your embrace
Freedom only love were the case

I am so sick of this life’s stress
Where I can sadly find no rest
Do I really know what’s best

Peace and tranquility do exist
If we slow down our hectic pace
And find some space and grace

abhor, unthinkable, coffee with no sugar?
no wonder your life so bored, says he
he's right, he isn't right, he was not right
abhor, you are
to called her life bored? immaculate you then
espresso, expresso, not of your
business, let her go, coffee with no sugar
is her taste, her way of carrying
carrying her burden.

Evergrande
Evergrande
all built on sand
oh there's trouble in the land
when the old financial band
who went in hand in hand
with the scheme so grand
are exiting as planned

All good things must come to an end
We can’t go tip-toeing along pretending
Things will get better when they won’t
It does really come down to character
Honesty will rule the day if you choose
Nothing short of that really gains traction
We can live in servitude to each other
Separate without any or all constraints
Or continue to be herding in new directions
We don’t even choose or ever aspire to go
What gives this dance the wrong romance
Is neither I nor you wanted to commence it
So lets just do the right thing and how
Walk away with our heads held high
Not romanticizing something unsustainable
Life goes on and so it shall too pass behind us

Ukraine was the subject in the year 2014
NATO did a lot of convincing and planning
closer and closer to Russia was the plan
and so the conflict has begun

2016 Trump in the US got elected
he assured peace all over the horizon
as a matter of fact now we know
no war or invasion took place in his reign

2020 the democrats stole the election
the puppets installed stupid Biden and claimed they won
look at him, what a senile pathetic old man
and so Russia attacked Ukraine again

here we are so anxious as to what's next
will Ukraine prevail or get blown into pieces?
in the meantime victims are dying
and the world just watch don't do anything

I'm thinking WW3 has just begun
it seems to me, we'll never really learn
humanity is doomed again and again
ah greed and power it always win

wake up I say, let's do something
we'll unite our vigor and strength
let's fight these fascist and socialist
let's pray to God that this will end.




About this poem:
It looks like there's no end to human sufferings because of power and greed

There's a presentation of Dr. Wendell Meirshuemer explaining why this invasion happened

Standing in a line
In a room full of strangers
What will I find
Walking through the door

Where are you now
My long forgotten dreams
All those sweet autumn days
Playing in the leaves

When memories come alive
Stirring images in our minds
Peaceful sounds of a shoreline
Skipping all those stones

Laughing in the breeze
Doing whatever we please
Singing a happy song
When its raining leaves

Nothing lasts for long
Is the title of this song
So put your mind at ease
A good life won’t displease

When you live each day
Rising up to do the chores
Like so many rolling waves
Washing up unto the shore
