No satisfaction guaranteed


No satisfaction guaranteed – when a winner dies.

The value of an army- is powerful stuff
fight at will
the winner a hero
the booty immense.

But fail to be a winner
then the race is on
to find an excuse
death the best

But who is the victim – to be crucified
to make amends
for all that money spent and worse
the people dying – wounded in part
and most of them dead.

But this is not a problem –
collateral is evident anywhere you look.
This that is troubling
is to find a reason to begin over again
to claim that booty – endlessly.

Carry on regardless


Carry on regardless
care little for your fellow man
next minute a crisis and who will you blame?

Certainly not another nation, far far too civil
that is your game surface play,
but underneath it all you secretly converge
in from the cold and light of day
to work your evil in the sewer
as a rat at night in play.

How darkly depressing
that the games of war you play
have come in such various colours,
even now confusion
as the flag bearer to your game.

But now your secrets are out
and who on earth do you believe and think
appreciates what you are doing
including your own poor foolish population
which previously you tried in vain to underplay.

Peace has gone astray


Sanctuary, where are you
I want to find a place
somewhere very serene
in order to find a solution
to regain our human face?

Peace has gone astray
man losing his conscience
usurping the truth,
displaying acts of violence
and agreeing to war as being a phase.

And life now on this planet
is a virulent warring machine.
I hope to be clear some day
that I was free to claim –

Peace is my right of vote
to declare a truce on war mongering.
Elect a president who deserves a medal
for doing that of peace and diplomacy –
one who meant what he said and acted upon it.

Peace is not an ugly word
but a delightful stand,
a human cry for safety and harmony.

Paving the way forward


Paving the way forward
humility at home …

Who has the answer?

We do – the populace,
the people everywhere
around the sustaining globe.

We are the outcome – history’s resolve,
but proof of the change from hate
needs another upwardly mobile trend.

No more dissatisfaction,
no more reduction in our human worth
the life one is given newly
at our own unique birth.

Take a far wider view and then look
within your own home situation …

What of it is on a larger scale
outside your home?
Are there any similarities
when you measure side to side?
Are there any differences?
Are they positive steps or broader strides?

What is your home –
A safe harmonious place to reside
or turmoil, unrest
and preference to leave and hide?

These are some of our questioning processes –

to be clear how to adjust and alter the site
that a home is to be providing
so our world is more sustaining

to allow all people safety to build
and express creatively
as that original new life had hoped,
but now globally we all are to live in fear.

Take away the safety
a home is supposed to provide
loss of uniformity comes knocking
and dysfunction begins to destroy.
– globally
– homeward first and foremost.

Catastrophe looming – everywhere


Catastrophe looming – everywhere
No one around – too in despair.
Responsibility has failed man to respond
to what in a heaven’s name
has on earth disastrous become.

God help the man on the street.
God help a society bent on violence
as a means to an end.

Loss, despair, fear over-run
heaven does not help
it is a landmark no other has found
and hence to man no peace anywhere
on lands foreign.

What next – on his, the mighty’s
own home ground?

Take to the streets
lead a fight for peace
man has gone military.

Looks like women
are to now be forced to march
on toward victory for all,
on Wall’s Street.
