I saw you standing on the shore


I saw you standing on the shore
I know not what you want or I can further explore.
I saw and said to myself deep within
this can only mean some sort of heroic deed
I am definitely not equipped to begin.

So sorry I did not listen before.
So sorry I did not understand that call
from that vast shore line.

I said within that I had other things to do and try before …
before I made such a commitment to love and adore.
I said within I had time to live and live I did
with shame and guilt, love and joy
as too the family I did develop
and now older are on their own alive and well.

And here you come once again.
Years are gone long before
that time you came
on that vast shore.

I know I had a task to answer for.
I know I was being asked to comply
to look back over my futility of shame and blame
and heal once more
to future explore without the garbage, baggage and more.

But I had a sense this was more.

Who am I amidst this shame?


Who am I amidst this shameful deed
of killing and maiming
with utter belligerence and speed?

Who am I that shifts this blameful
shameful disgusting deceitful deed?
Who acts on my behalf politically
and shamefully agrees
it is another not them
that causes harm to those without?

Who is it that sits and shouts,
cries out?
Not those with a voice of care
about the violence done everywhere,
but political expedients
to gain what?
Surely not to line those corporate crooks?

Life goes on and we prefer to deny.
Why I ask myself? Why?
Is there some form in the West –
a type of belligerence
that prefers to deny
as a way to arrest – all that shameful mess
carrying on around the globe?
Denying what in everyone’s mind
is a Westernised drone mentality.
A type of deceitful game play.

I know I have my fair share of guilt,
shameful acts, deceit at best.
But who am I
pretending in the end
when my conscience comes in
and reminds me of that past awfulness?

I have to admit and own my deeds.
Try and correct my behaviour
for the future to succeed.
But who am I
when I fail to comply?
No more than a drone subjected
and allowing others to infiltrate,
excuse and deny.

America’s call to fight


God said, exceptional.
No doubt about that.
But he meant everyone.
Or am I on the wrong track?

Some say exceptional
but Putin unlikable, said No …
that is an extremist notion
and fight is all they are to know.

God bless America
the land of many dreamers.
Some say asleep,
bedlike in their way
behaviour singled out
as some declare –
think right when no idea.

God pretends to be an ally
but of which side?
I have no idea
because if we are all built from Adam and Eve
well who are they and how do we know –
which is the victim, slave to the one percent?

Of those suffering because what is declared
Either Wall’s ugly street
Or of the War Mongers
pretending safety is what we need and accept.

God bless America for the finest of newsreels.
Many times over until we buy into that rubbish
Fed and spread wide all over land and sea.

Dump your garbage lift your game
God is on the war path
and no longer playing your war games.
Lift you head and own who inside
spreads the good news
not propaganda to slumber you
into another of the Wall’s few.

God’s Call to Alms


God’s call to alms
is no more than a shout.
A type of indication
our mind wants out.

No more violent behaviour,
ridiculous as it seems,
but there are indications
greater than our own
to uphold and fight to maintain.

We are idle profiteers in Westernised mental view.
Nothing more than for an outlook to usurp you.
Propaganda rages, raves and indicates
more profiteering for the mighty barons
on Wall’s mighty fortress.
The street with all the beating of drums
war like to kill and maim your future
and damn you to hell.
Nothing more profitable for you,
but for those few.

God Bless America the land of the free.
Well, that is what they preach, but of who are they?
God Bless America a world apart.
Some feel exceptional,
but of a God which is that other part?

God cries lament and seek out your soul.
God is in the Bible and bashing is all they ever do.
But what is required is a different stand.
To take up the arms within your own life span.

Think about the value your birth new did indicate.
No more painful journey into that life on earth to partake.
New as new can be, growing wiser by the day.
But now no more wisdom that all went far, far astray.

Think about tomorrow
for that may never come.
Wise words I am sure.
But what if you are awake …
and see what it is that they are doing
and drone like, drop you in the soup
where the world is poorly run?

No peace declared


Lift your game.
No peace declared
You’re on your own.
Stand tall against an on coming crowd
for here the rage of ages doomed
comes in waves for the present
what is in store but declared no more.

Love your neighbour by the score
as they infiltrate once more
to those views you share with all
through a television screen
or film exploited view of life.

Lift your game and come to understand
we the American public have no idea at all.
Love is sprouted by the Christian right
but have no understanding
what a lot of rot they spout.

Love is more about the care
to those toward hardship
and have no hope
of lovingly caring in safety any more
