“bob Was Right”
Bob gave the world good advice,
Until grave illness struck him down
Although the lyrics were imprecise
Bob sang;
“Gonna chase those crazy baldheads outta town”
Some may not understand this line
Others may dance instead of listen
Bob knew;
White racist/bigoted politicos’ had to go,
Because Jamaicans refused annexation
History repeats in the world today
With new “Baldheads” coming ‘round,
To promise much n’ then betray
“Gotta chase these crazy baldheads outta town”
“Only peace brings all things to light”
Now this troubled world knows;

“i Speak To Thee Of Light”
The Master spoke…
Brethren, I speak to thee of Light:
The dark/cold void is dead,
The Light warm and life-giving
Verily I say unto thee,
Light be the very Essence of God,
Indeed, an Instrument of Creation
Every color is contained in a rainbow,
In a single droplet of gleaming dew
Observe how all life seeks the Face of God,
Ever reaching upward, toward Luminosity
Ye have but to look within thy soul or into,
The eyes of another for a flash of God Himself

Immemorial Day
Many take this day to honor the dead
Who died for what they thought was right
They knew not with lies they were misled
To satisfy money-hungry bankers’ appetite
Bankers that fund both sides in a war
Profiting from weapons and destruction
Pass the cost to “the common” evermore
Seems to be no end to greed n’ corruption
Go ahead n’ lay down a flower wreath
In memory of millions who have fallen
Their souls cry for justice just beneath
It’s their eternal souls that are calling
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”
Pray for lasting peace to beleaguered humankind

Silent Heroes
Today, super heroes are as popular as ever
They seem unlimited, smart, indestructible
With superpowers and minds oh, so clever
Everyone looks to them in times of trouble
Unseen and unheard stands the silent hero
An every-man, with no desire to stand out
A man who wields no knife, sword or bow
A caring man, who’s not just another echo
Rock-steady, intent on caring for his family
Personal, communal or on a global scale
A great man to those that value integrity
Who believe their champion cannot fail
Super-men are just a string of empty zeroes
What we need today are more silent heroes

worlds Apart
Braving the freezing night wind;
A homeless man stands n’ begs
That he might buy a loaf of bread
Whilst dining in a posh restaurant;
A rich man enjoys steak & eggs
What god or demon of blackened heart,
Creates wealth n’ poverty in juxtapose?
Creates men that live such worlds’ apart?
Why doom them to a life full of sorrows? ”
“To build strong character” he replies
“Man learns from the experiences of life
As free-will precludes the need for alibis
Suffering tempers a man” the demon lies
Know that it’s within the human soul
The deeds n’ acts that makes one whole

Evil Is Live Reversed
When life is not cherished evil is created.
Earth is very crowded because souls are;
being sent here from all over the galaxy,
since Earth is a training ground for evil.
Earth ceases being a training center soon,
when all participants will get the opportunity
to see the direct consequences of not cherishing,
the Earth and one another.
If you cherish life, you will see the,
ascension of Earth beyond evil.
If you do not cherish life, you will experience the,
“Apocalypse”…a destruction of your own making.
“EVIL is LIVE reversed”
(Inspired by the most brilliant BHC)

Amongst The Walking Wounded
To Arianna...
I don’t need your history, that’s not enough
Don’t want your love someday I want it now
Don’t want your attitude of acting tough
No longer will I let your feelings disavow
Amongst the walking wounded I dwell
Since you’ve withheld true love from me
Your heart begs me stay as lips say farewell
While our hungry bodies feel the chemistry
I don’t want a phone that never rings
I want your love….and I want it now
No more lonely fantasies or imaginings
You should be with me someway/somehow
Life is short, we’ve been apart too long
Come home my love where you belong

When Lightning Strikes
Great change came!
When lightning struck,
This lonely heart with love
My world filled with color!
Sweet songs like none before,
Descended from above
Her name was Arianna
A girl of beauty and of grace
“Love at first sight” it was
We shared our first embrace
Alas, love’s candle burned too fast
‘Twas fate that had the final say
“How could you expect young love to last? ”
Alas, destiny pushed me ‘oh so far away
Take heed should lightning strike your heart
As falling in love may have to high a price

Nichols Flamel
Long ago was born a mystic named Flamel
A “Master Alchemist”, of this we can be sure
He found a way to cheat death’s gate to hell
With “The Elixir of life” immortality secured
It’s said Flamel still walks the Earth today
He’s traveled many roads of every land
He sailed ‘cross the vastness of the oceans
Words of every language at his command
Flamel’s wisdom is without measure
He’s read every book worth reading
Knowledge acquired a real treasure
Minds of a select few he’s been seeding
Should you encounter Flamel some day
Stop!
Be sure and listen to what he has to say

The Surly “Mr. B”
“My oh my” this fellows so pragmatic
“One + one is two n’ two + two is three”
His responses are so cold n’ automatic
A static mind on cruise control you see
Expects a sunburn on a sunny day
Sees only foible in happiness n’ joy
Danger for a child happily at play
His surly nature does everyone annoy
Makes you wonder why he’s so sour
When hoarding money be his only joy
Holding over others his only power
Belittling a lovely wife his only toy
Time to “Pull it together” Mr. B
To make amends n’ finally atone
To face the truth n’ accountability
‘Lest you die unhappy n’ alone
