Remember Me

Remember me

I am hiding

Pray that our sworn enemy will not see!

Remember me

I hath trained earnestly

Daily

To fulfill my duty

For country

In the United States Army

Remember me

I fight to honor

Our most cherished principle

A country

Of the people

For the people

In defense of Lincoln’s democracy

Remember me

As my position hath been exposed

Leaving nowhere to flee

Remember me

After these long painful

Harrowing

Days in captivity

Most of all

Remember me

For the the most patriotic yet humble plea

Seek ye not hegemony!

Strive for peace

A Place of Solitude

I need a place of solitude

Where I can wander

Traipse dutifully

In my thoughts

Take up the days

Hip hip hoorays!

Meditate mindfully of all the cost

I crave a place

Of solemn solitariness

To ponder things gone by

Disseminate on paths forward

Despair of sad goodbyes

I am obliged to find

Invigorating inner peace

Tho harmful acts

I have enacted

Through sorrows

And most bitter pain

A more admirable way

TIs to be futuristically adapted

I require a place of calm quiet

To dampen out

The screeching noise

To take good stock

Of who I am

Ponder on my choice

I necessitate a place of quiet

To bask in things I love

To laugh

And sing

Read!

Try new things

Rhyme poems

Sing!

Pay mind to the most friendly nudge

I need a place of solitude

Warm blankets to prepare me

For the long cold night

When I shalt be heard

Of alas no more

Only memories remain

Of lives gone by

Passionately then

Awakened!

Shalt I embrace!

The universal struggles

Of which toilers fight

Ever and always

Cherish those

Whom gifted

Laboring lonesome thee

The intoxicating caress

Of most sweet amor

The Mad Voyage To Untapped Potential

I am mad at the Universe

Angry at the World

Cursing at the trees

Ambivalent of the birds

Damning of the weeds

Summoning the roses

Caressing gently the leaves

Irate at the mean simple people

Intent to banally disturb

Obsessed with earthly greed

Cross from the double-cross

Irritated at what’s conferred

Exasperated of the scribes

Dismissive of the herd

Vexed at the incredulity

Of what truly has been disturbed

Thunderous events hath unfurled!

The whirlwind rendered me resentful!

Provoking pent-up

Aggrieved impending energy

Harkening back to sentimental

Grendel!

Thine villainous artifice

Opportunity is bliss!

Now is the time to ball up my fist!

Change from pusillanimously piqued

To suddenly buoyant survival

Patiently persistent!

Then earned evidently exuberant!

On the fantastic voyage

To untapped potential!

Cry Wolf

They pulled a ruse!

Pulled the rug out

Underneath shoes

Led dupes on a chase

For a scarce golden goose

Most persistent pursuit

Preventing chickens

Coming home to roost

Smoke and mirrors!

Facts not considered

Takers not givers

Pulled kicking and screaming

Back into the dank well

Not given a boost

Bait and switch

That woman’s a witch!

Empty nets

No fish in the rivers

Royal Trojan Horse!

Truth and decency

Divorced

Bogeyed the hole

Claiming par for the course

Snakes in the grass!

Down the rosy red path

Put on their Sunday best

Without taking a bath

Too good to be true

Why am I blue!

From inside the prison

Check out the magnificent view!

Hosing the many

So few in the pew

Playing both sides?

Driver take me for a ride?

A wonderfully duplicitous

Opponent who chides

Look ahead!

Una lobo con ropa

De los oveja

Moving quickly

No time to bide

Give no regards

Built an establishment

To the sky!

Out of mere playing cards!

Tossed out poor cold Baby Huey

In the drenched lawn backyard

Elevating uncouth

Blind-sided youth

Hood-winked

Bamboozled

And double-crossed!

Let’s all together!

Howl!

Cry wolf!

HARD MAN

Dense

Strong

Unbreakable

Rock

Unbending

Unyielding

Individually

Crafted

Smock

Not bowing

Stand up strong

Be unintimidated

Via the Flock

Let it be known

Tis no fear!

I will endure being socked!

Tender

Gentle

Begone!

With these lily-livered arrears!

Gentlemanly

Polite

Respectful

A boxer can shed tears?

Not me

I intend

To let others see

Know

My toughness

Inner roughness!

The true hombre to be

A stamp of manhood!

Throughout my neighborhood

I hath faithfully carried

Since my teens

My heart shalt firmly

Boldly decree

No matter the cost

Paid to family

Society

Nor me!

I will remain hardened

Till the last!

Ensuring my masculine virility

Sedulously

The Flim-Flam Man

The money man

Hath devised

What he surmised

As a clever plan

Convince the toiling laborer

And his poor friends

He would bear fruit

Throughout their barren lands

With enticingly prevaricating words

Boasting of good works to come

Dreams of grandeur to blossom

Shalt he convince the masses

Only He

Is the rightful ruler

The One

Who can!

Whilst his double-consciousness

Unveils him

Certainly

Most assuredly

As The Flim-Flam Man

A Rhymist Reading The News

I read

Every weekend

The Wall Street Journal

The NY Times

This information I gather

Opinion pieces I’d rather

Center my thoughts upon

Current political ideas

Future current event rhymes

Information in the new era

Can feel as racing forward

On The Audobon!

Conspiracy theories

Rabbit holes

Alternate facts

Are not traveled paths

I have explored upon

Journalism and books

Varied rich information sources

Help me to choose a side

Formulate an integral literate guide
