Tis Mind Boggling!

Tis Mind Boggling!

Mine is not to reason why, mine is but to do or die!

Tis like seeing a sinking ship go under the water of a stormy sea.

Down goes marriage without a hope!

This is a dictionary question … Whether tis nobler to lose the centuries old premise of marriage, the dictionary says, marriage is a legal union of a man and a woman.

Or to take up a sea of troubles and change the dictionary’s significance and accept the new marriage revolution of the concept that marriage can also be between two individual men or between two individual woman whom can be married together under the eyes of the law.

Aye, there’s the rub forcing this upon the multitude, by lobbyists, government, power and money.

Whether tis nobler in the mind and the courts, to consummate this act by the minority, without the will of the majority.

Tis a shot-gun wedding by the Federal courts and the individual States. Does this man take this man or does this woman take this woman as their lawful spouse in the eyes of our new connived laws?

It use to be a man and woman in a mass of Holy or Civil matrimony was for the purpose of procreating children and family life … but what now?

Now to say the least, to promote such a radical change of centuries old tradition is mind boggling to the naive.

Old Marriage style passing bye

Is the new fashion for you and I

Does man and woman’s marriage and their love stand a chance

Or do we live In a revolution of wanton hopeless romance
.....................................

Confused, I think I’d rather just live together! Lol

Tis not my place to judge!

The Multitude are on their own!

I have no opion,just an observation ...

Among the Battle Scene

No matter you're path you won't it to be stationary,
Surrounded by war without a place to call a sanctuary.
Gunfire and blood surround me on these once peaceful streets,
Where we hung out as we played beats with our feets.
They call me insane because I'm hoping for a peace,
Yet we have issues and wars seeping through the crease.
Our voices get mulled by the screams from all around,
Even as we have to bury the souls of the innocent into the ground

About this poem:
Whether you make a dollar or a billion we are 100% human. Most wars are caused by greed, fear, or power yet thousands of lives are lost due to wars. Does anyone see spoils from a victory? Or do we sacrifice lives for something the public sees no benefits. Why is war the first option? Why are we not able to see things from the others point of view?

Life's Path

Time lost to thee

Ancient as the old oak tree

Fleeting as the bumble bee

Grasp for that little glee

The caged bird wishes to be free

About this poem:
Basic poem that I wrote. Got a lot of good comments online so I thought I would post it. None of the categories fit...it is about life in general in my opinion.

Whitehouse

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

A politician speaks

My fellow Americians I would like to speak
today on the school shootings
I think we should hxycklng and hughxcjjmvk
this situation more carefully..
Guns should be yzhvkjmkcbzggxjnjffccmmkc
or at least ckvmjxhxxcjcnc, and everybody
knows that a loaded gun might xkvkhxhmmvmm
and kill someone..
But! To be quite clear on this subject I HCJCVVxvgv
and hccddcvmjkfkvk jccj vkvvg cjvvkkmvvk mgvkbk
for the long term.
You, of course would say that I am full of shjfflbmmv
and bull mmmk.
We have a solution which is to talk this thing to death
until the next child gets shmmffkkktvv and ucmkkvhjpl.
I think I have made my case so get off my asshgbhvkkmk.
To be jcmgfcjkgvmkgmkkmmmik should show the world
how nuts we junogkkolkooblll are
Thank you-----

Off With A Bang

When the chinese used fireworks for celebrations
They used a black powder called gunpowder, it has two
Practical uses for making harmess fireworks or creating
Explosions for rocket missiles during their wars, the same
Was also used for rifles and guns, they celebrated their
Chinese New Year with these exploading fireworks, but as
Time went on the gunpowder was used to make a huge
Explosion by a man called Guy Fawkes, he planned to blow
Up the British Houses of Parliament, his plan misfired and
He was caught along with his accomplices, and sent to jail.
England now celebrates this night as Guy Fawkes Night
It is on the 5th of November, and families get together
As they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
They also have a large firework display during this event.
Yes gunpowder has many uses and it is used for good
Purposes as well as evil, it can be also used in Dynamite
An explosive which has been used in construction in
Various ways for good, or misused by theives to blow up
Bank vaults, but all these different variations of uses
The end result is that it nearly always goes off with a bang.

I HAD A DREAM THAT OBAMA

I had a dream that one day
One Black African Male American
From the great state of Illinois
Crossroads of a nation
Bless by the perfect God of creation
Shall take the "Yes we can't"
Make it into "Yes we can, Yes we can"

I had a dream whispered by slaves
Path the trail now in their graves
That Barack Obama
A Chicago Senator
Shall become President, America it is now evident
Yes we can, Yes we can

There was a King
That took us to the mountain top
Now there is a King, who says "Yes we can" non-stop
Did you see the races, the faces
Serenading in joy
Victory for their boy from Illinois

I had a dream yes he can
Bring justice and equality
Yes he can to opportunity
Yes he can please the old
Yes his rhetoric is good as gold

He said there is no Liberal America
No conservative America
Just the United States of America
Yes he can, yes he can
Barack Obama believes in change

I am the majority

Tragedy a fact of life
many suffer for the spoils from yet another war
deception corruption they know not of poverty
Minority in power living pretty
They care not for the majority
zoned out on tel lie vision
another fukin fantasy
living hell suffering globally
enslaved without chains
used abused like a donkey
in a false sense of security
better off dead helps their economy
Check out their strategy
its been in place for centuries
Yet won't tell you in lessons of history
Don't believe the hype
living large is the way to be
another lie and deadly sin
they may fool some all of the time
I just want love peace of mind and harmony
Pen my thoughts through poetry

About this poem:
People in high places governing are so full of deception
I have no faith in people who are out to have total control of our lives. They create so much living hell globally and yet never face trial for their crimes against humanity and reap the power and control

a governments legacy

this city has a spire in the middle,
the needle of irelands despair,
cost us money and lots of our riches,
this is our city so fair,
a government in ruling our ruination,
as the clock in the liffey stood still,
time it is running out,
a country so wild ,
yet so beautiful,
yet this is all we have got,
rocked by mass unemployment,
emegration heavy on everyones heart.
a government yes they destroyed us,
as they made us pay for what they ill got,
bailing out these so called scrouges,
fair is the state of our nation ,
poor in everyones heart,
this is the state of our nation.
rich and peasants miles apart,
gambling our childrens futures,
as job creation,
plays a nessary part,
now this is the state of our country,
ireland a nation in despair

Silent

Woman......too silent
As a girl touched
In the wrong way
I was silent
A teenager touched
I was angry and silent
As a young woman touched
No respect was given
Still silent
As a woman too silent
To demand the respect now
On the street the young men "Pssst"
No respect I am given
Silent again
No
Not again....... Not ever again
I will shout.....I want to be heard
No more silence....I must be heard
Don't touch me....not in that way
Don't touch my daughter.....she isn't a plaything
I will not be
I will not be
Silent
No not silent
Anymore
