Country lullaby

Lightning flashing bright,
Thunder shaking the windows, 
Roof pounded by rain

Love Locks

How many remain?
How many now represent
Love that is long gone?

Forward

Forward


When will my people wake up from their sleep,

and realize they must fight for their land?

That if we intend out birthright to keep,

cast off our innocence and make a stand?

When will we cast off all we have been taught,

the guilt caused by propaganda and lies,

and the greed that allows us to be bought,

or the foreign faith that has veiled our eyes?

Sweep away the ash that swirls at our feet!

Rebuilding new temples with ancient stone,

renewing old ways, no more obsolete,

reclaiming our destiny as our own…

Removing foreign banners from our skies, 

We'll raise our own, and our people shall rise!

Otio Sacrum

Cigar my incense,
and Whiskey my libation,
Bacchus would be pleased.

Humble, yet proudly displayed.

My Dream

Morning birds singing,
In trees...on land that I own
While I drink coffee.

Confession

 

I will tell you this,
I regret fighting to work
during the lock downs.

Fog

The fog this morning
Has a paranormal feel,
Something lurks within...

Next Year

Next year.

When we moved into the new apartment,
It was to be a temporary thing.
Next year, I will get back up on my feet,
and when I can walk proper and can fling
this cane into the trash where it belongs,
I will get us into a proper home.
A room for each kiddo, with a big yard,
A white picket fence, a Garden, a gnome…
I can see it now, just waiting for us…
Next year, when we have a bit more cash saved,
and my credit score looks a bit better,
we will finally get what we have craved!

No, It’s just a temporary setback,
I continue to have full faith, My dear,
That you and I will move the family
We must be patient…It will come next year…

Ten years have passed since that first assurance
and I have yet to figure out a way
to get my family into a home
where we are safe at the end of the day,
from rot, mold, slums, junkies, and all the like…
It weighs on my heart! It crushes my soul!
That the years are slipping away quickly,
and I still haven’t achieved this one goal…

All I wanted was a house and a yard
for the kids to make all their memories
that they could hold dear when they became grown,
but now I begin to doubt whether these
are ever going to be near my grasp,
and if I have in fact wasted my years
seeking a dream far beyond my station
losing myself in my own doubts and fears…

To strive for much, and achieve so little,
yet enslave oneself, it hardly seems fair
when the slavery is for naught…and yet…
It's a burden that a father must bear…
So, what can I do, but lie to myself,
and try to smile through the fears and tears,
and make that promise I know I can’t keep,
When I tell them again…Next year…Next Year…

New Day

The Alarm goes off,
I fight the urge to hit snooze,
I must seize this day.

Angle my body just right
Let loose...and a Strike!

Shall a New Dawn Rise?

Shall a New Dawn Rise?

A darkness has fallen upon Europe,
like a rolling wave, the lights blinking out,
blanketing the once vibrant nights in black.
Excuses given, but the people doubt
that the Government’s words can be trusted
and its feared that they hide the real reason,
for if the people were allowed to know,
their leaders would be charged with High Treason…

It will never happen again, they say,
as they encourage people not to fear,
but the damage has been done: people see
but things are no longer as they appear.
Foreign agents are allowed to roam free
around the whole of Europe, no questions…
but when people ask what they are doing?
They are accused of racial suggestions.
Then those who should be investigating,
at the very least, the peoples concerns,
arrest instead the people born and raised
who dare voice a thought as their nation burns…

We know the real reason the lights went out,
and sadly, it isn’t incompetence.
No, it was Corruption, Greed, High treason,
and yes: Some good old fashioned negligence.
Those leaders lying to the world right now,
Did they join in the suffering, you think?
Do you doubt they had lights or warm water?
Were their wines not chilled and perfect to drink?
Were they not comfortable the whole while?
Their toilets still flushed, their food served on time?
safe and pampered while common folk weren’t,
yet, all funded by the working man’s dime.

But don’t worry folks! Nothing to see here!
We’re still in control! There’s nothing to fear!
They say it hoping the people will cheer,
but angry voices are filling their ears…

Perhaps Europe is waking up at last,
as the discomfort and the fury grows,
Perhaps they will even reclaim their land,
to work against the misdeeds of our foes.
That our lights should never blink out again
instead becoming a brilliant beacon,
that will lighten the path for our brethren
and the efforts of our foes be weakened.

A great poet once urged us all to rage,
to RAGE against the dying of the light,
and brothers, I tell you the time to rage
Is upon us now, for we stare down night!

The Dream


I just want to live
In the middle of nowhere
but with internet.

Realization

 Realization:

Ten years of my life
Wasted behind this damned desk
With nothing to show.

OOPS

“That’s an NPC”
My daughter tells me before
it turns and kills me.
