Killing Nature

Birds are free to fly where they want.
But, not in zoo’s for people to taunt.
Animals in nature will do their own thing.
Till man arrives with the problems they bring.
Sea going creatures seem to do fine.
Till man arrives with garbage and grime.
Even trees grow & strive to be free.
Till they breathe foul air that kills the tree.
Same with plants, grasses & bushes too.
Put to their end by the likes of you.
A picture seems to be forming here.
We are killing the planet without fear.
It is time to wake up & take notice.
Or, soon, your flower will be a lotus.

The Chronicles Of Kronos (Chapter 8)

Kronos and Asglow got back to work.
Mostly, it was research. Where does it lerk?
There had to be something about it here.
So many books & scrolls to clear.
They had a small fragment from some.
A smidgeon from another one.
Maybe, a picture was starting to form.
But, this project was so big, they were torn.
It just didn’t seem possible.
For such a thing to be done would be awful.
What in the world were those demons planning?
Maybe we should start a little scanning?
In the meantime, Orin had a private meeting.
In the church, where priests were completing
a prayer spell to keep demons out.
Orin didn’t want them hearing what it was about.
It was announced as a simple prayer meeting.
All were welcome, with a greeting.
Orin’s plan was a simple one.
He would use the aliens ship as a pun.
A ruse to mislead the demons on their plan.
He believed the demons would stop the ship, if they can.
Meanwhile, by all indications, the portals were open.
The original way the wizards got to Vantera, hooping
Warlocks would not follow them through the 7 portals.
Now, they would only have to go through the first portal.
Then, they could zap to the castle from there.
“What if the portal doesn’t lead anywhere?”
“By all indications it is still in place.”
“It is a gamble I am willing to take.”
Finally, they heard from the aliens.
The aliens would help, hopefully, without failing them.
Then Orin met with the aliens face to face.
The church was where the meeting took place.
Orin told the aliens the entire story.
The aliens said “This could get gory.”
“We hope you are only prevented from flying away.”
“And, that you will live to fight another day.”
“Thanks. We are willing to risk it.”
“For a reward we only want a few of Anika’s bisket’s.”
Orin easily agreed to those terms.
Plans were made and a time was set.
Exactly what took place, I don’t know yet.
But, when I do I will write it down.
I won’t have to wait long, I have found.

A Writer’s Snare

A Writer’s Snare.

I am leaving on a jet plane.
Not sure if I’ll be back. Don’t complain.
What am I saying? I’ll be right here.
I am not leaving. You have nothing to fear.
I’m just fooling around with lyrics from songs.
There is no way I’ll be saying so long.
As I come closer, inch by inch.
I am more quiet than the Grinch.
Still fooling around with words.
Quit saying it is for the birds.
O.k., I have never seen a tree
with a bark as pretty as thee.
What? That’s poetry, is it not?
Funny, all you can do is squawk.
He tucked, he rolled, he stopped.
He managed to ditch the cop.
All right, all right, I will try it again.
Tonight, after dark, when all is free.
You will find me hugging my TV.
Fine, I’ll quit writing when you are present.
I would just as soon be eating pheasant.
Thank God, she is finally gone.
Now, maybe, I can write that song.
I forgot what I was going to write now?
A short nap and it will come to me somehow.

Food For Thought

Tragedy is threatening on all sides.
Is there no good news to idolize?
Suicides are way up in recent years.
Is that enough to alert your ears?
There is wars and rumors of wars.
Enough to stress you to your core.
Pandemics, floods, fires, drought.
Is this what it is all about?
National unrest, violence, killing.
Read all about it, if you’re willing.
People’s hearts trembling with fear.
The final hours of earth is near.
Churches are closing left and right.
Low attendance have pastors uptight.
There is no simple answer that I can see.
It seems the answer is up to you and me.
Love seems to be the only way.
The need for it grows greater every day.
Maybe what Jesus said is not so wrong.
I’m sorry realizing it has taken so long.
Love God with all your heart and soul.
Love one another like they were your bro.
People are not likely to do this.
That is why things have gone so amiss.
It is food for thought, but could be more.
Let it sink in to your very core.

The Past, Present, And Future

The way it was, I can clearly see.
Not so, the way it supposed to be.
The past is just a good bye.
The present is the reason why.
The future is yet for us to see.
Would you like to spend it with me?
They say we can learn from the past.
According to the present, that didn’t last.
The future, they say, we can make our own.
It will go smoother if we make a home.
It is only the future for which I can plan.
I want you with me, if I possibly can.
You are with me in my scheme of things.
I hope you really know what that means.
A day will come when I will look back.
I’ll say: “I arrived here because I did all that.”
With the proper foundation our love will stand.
We don’t want to build on a foundation of sand.
We want something that Is going to last.
So we will be content when our future is our past.

The Caravan Is On Its Way

A large caravan is headed this way.
They are coming to the US to stay.
Tighten your belts, it will cost us all.
I feel like Rome before the fall.
This will run up the national debt.
Plus, we have to hear them vet.
Trump can’t build a wall in time.
The military activated will be a sign.
Hold the hoard at the border.
Establish some law and order.
Half the country says go for the gold.
The other half says: How can you be so bold.
Our country was built by aliens.
People from other countries saying,
this country is our new home.
We will defend it to the bone.
They came here the legal way.
Why? Because they intended to stay.
The caravan is only running away.
Looking for a handout from day to day.
To them, this is the land of plenty.
They want their share, be it jobs or money.
Some will be willing to work.
Others will expect welfare. What a quirk.
Some will become gangsters, to put it mild.
It won’t take much to get them riled.
They should come here in the legal way.
Become citizens, pay taxes, then they can stay.
Anything less is an insult to our founding fathers.
Not to mention our ancestors from afar.
It is a hell of a position to be in.
To be the one to cut and trim.
But, I fear, it must be done.
Hopefully, I am not the only one.

Get To The Point (a politician’s game)

It’s time to talk about something serious.
Let’s no longer make it mysterious.
Time to get down to the nitty gritty.
Procrastination is a real pity.
No more avoiding this touchy subject.
No more acting like we are above it.
This could involve everyone.
Not just a few on the run.
This should’ve been explored years ago.
Even the news has let it go.
How much longer can this go on,
before we become a society that’s strong?
Instead, we play the game of avoidance.
It has become a real annoyance.
I really feel the time is here.
Time to make our feelings clear.
I know you’ve wondered about it yourself.
Time for coming down off the shelf.
Let’s not worry about being politically correct.
It’s time to chop this subject right in the neck.
The politicians are playing a special game.
None of them want to take the blame.
No more beating around the bush.
If you agree, then get off your tush.

Water Aerobics For You

Whip into shape. Get your mojo moving.
Start feeling like you are really grooving.
If aerobics is not your thing.
Try water aerobics. It has a better ring!
A real workout for about an hour.
Afterwards, you can take a shower.
Get that chlorine off your body.
You might take it up as a hobby.
Or, possibly a regular routine.
Either one would be real keen.
You will feel so much better.
Get those moves down to the letter.
Loosen up all those stiff joints.
Stretch those muscles, ligaments. Get the point!
Be able to move freely again.
Maybe take a walk with a friend.
Get them to go to water aerobics too.
You’ll have someone to work out with you.
It is never too late to get in shape.
Slowly, you’ll get rid of that extra weight.
No more “Fat”, when you come in a room.
Others will want to join you soon.
So, find a place that has a pool.
Maybe a nice Jaccuzzi too.
Make sure they have a water aerobics class.
Then, begin ‘shaping up’, don’t be rash.
In the end, it will benefit you.
It is also fun. Time to go get a clue.

Time To Vote

It is almost time to vote.
Is it legit, or all a hoax?
Is it pre determined who will win?
If that’s true, it’s a major sin.
Some say life is pre determined.
Is that what Waldo said to Sherman?
If it is all planned, nothing matters.
All my hopes will surely be shattered.
I can’t trust a voting machine.
Electronic voting is a scam, it seems.
Mail in your ballot and pray for the best.
Put all your paranoid fears to rest.
The results won’t always be what you want.
In fact, the results could leave you a little gaunt.
Whatever the results, let it be said.
You did your patriotic duty before bed.
Trust in God for how all will unfold.
For He is the one in ultimate control.
