Rulers Reward

When you equate protesters
with terror (synonymous)
force them to go underground
make them anonymous
When you attack those online
because they're activists
they'll respond to you in kind -
attack back hacktivists
When you rich and powerful
indifferent to world pain
inflict on people sufferings
you'll no advantage gain
When you gas and beat the poor
kill those who beg for food
one day you'll plead for their mercy
thumbs down will be their mood
So badly how you treat people
don't think that they'll forget
how you acted so heartlessly
some day you will regret
Your inane insane policies
will destroy all the Earth
time will come you'll curse the day
your mother gave you birth

Piled Gifts

You must strive forth with courage
be brave and with caring
you must give all good you have
with love be bold and daring
View with eyes open clearly
see as in day not night
act upon the truth you've learned
do what you know is right
Do what you can to help out
don't ever count the cost
don't think it doesn't matter
love or your chance is lost
This life live with deep meaning
with full zeal run this race
this no one else can do for you
make Earth a better place
You should be your own driver
don't need my help to steer
you don't need me to guide your life
get your own azz in gear
Don't be afraid to suffer
face hardships with a smile
good gifts you do all wait for you
in heaven in a pile

Fibber's Fate

These experts on most everything
in suits and ties abound
they don't know their own azzholes
from a hole in the ground
Their opinion's paid for
it's fashioned by the rich
their real job is to deceive
lying sons of a b!tch
The simple swallow their crap
goes down without a hitch
in their minds they don't think twice
their thoughts don't have a glitch
These 'experts' are just liars
for their fibs they are paid
someday they will pay for
lies they deliberate made
- 2012 -

The 'experts' who say there's no global warming
are liars - or fools - or both!

Love Stay

When my eyes first laid on you
right then began to care
my heart leaped out my chest for you
fell in love then and there
I wished so much our eyes would meet
but did not want to stare
I didn't want to frighten you
your love I would not scare
You are the one that I've dreamed of
I hoped for all my life
the girl that I'd forever love
I wished for as my wife
You may ask what's in my heart
how I could feel this way
I just can't without your love
live this life one more day
I'll always want to be with you
away from you won't sway
you can always count on me
your love I won't betray
We'll have a meeting of our hearts
with our love always stay
I hope that you will feel like me
you'll feel the same love way

Party Pants

I think we both knew
at our sweet first glance
we'd both want to party
in each others pants
First things we would work out
for that circumstance
come to trust each other
love we'd both enhance
You may think I'm simple
with all my love rants
let's live life worth living
and all that Love grants
Our spirits will mingle
we'll swirl in Love's dance
so deep we'll fall into
our perfect romance
Our friendship will further
through loving advance
then we'll both want to
party in our pants

Chosen Lover

If you were to ask me
my honest opinion
the girl I love most has
a sweet disposition
She is so forgiving
makes no snap decisions
she's so slow to anger
she won't cause divisions
I once loved a woman
of whom I will mention
beautiful but suffered
the flaw of contention
She was so divisive
caused such apprehension
it was stress from her rage
that led to dissension
When choosing, choose wisely
and you will discover
that you chose a calm soul
when you chose you lover
Give her all your patience
place no one above her
let her know forever
you always will love her

Some important things Americans should start to think about -

40% of the food produced in the world is never eaten

In the United States, nearly 25% of our food is thrown out

In Europe, more that 240 million tons of food is wasted each year

In Africa, up to 66% of all food spoils before it is sold

Amid this waste
- 1 in 7 people in the world are undernourished -
- 5.6 million children die of hunger each year -
- countries can lose up to 10% of labor productivity and 3% of GDP -
- tons rot in landfills emitting potent climate change methane gas -

Food waste devastates individuals, economies and the environment

Another good redu4U

Good Things

To cherish and honor
with love and respect
with tenderness, also
all good things expect
These sweet things of this life
with joy you protect
these things for worth living*
strive to make perfect
The things that oppose these
all those things reject
if good things you're lacking
take steps to correct
In this life few chances
good things don't neglect
reach high to good morals
to God stand erect
Aim yourself at righteous
towards love life direct
reach for good things higher
true Love with connect

Anyone who advocates book burning should know this -

100 years before Adolph Hitler,
a German mystic said
' He who starts with burning books,
will finish with burning human beings'

and you know what Hitler did

and anyone who advocates burning the Bible
has the hottest place in hell reserved for them

Love Taps (hopefully)

If you want true love
be a true romantic
real Love is so rare
be patient - don't panic
With Love, there's no fear
there aren't lies or antics
true love is sincere
don't play with semantics
Through Love's tribulations
hard roads you must travel
search for Love so trying
your heart might unravel
And though all too often
your search for Love fails
don't let Love's failures take
Love's wind from your sails
There may be so many
in your life Love gaps
just be ready if Love
on your shoulder taps

Love Is

Love is not a lie
based on some illusion
Love, at core, is honesty
clears clouds of confusion
Love is not self-centered
a selfish form of greed
love is something gifted
to learn this we all need
Love is the foundation
all life is based on
if Love were to vanish
all things would be gone
Love's the entire reason
that everything exists
it's a fact all things need Love
on Love all things subsists
Love alone can spare us
hate just makes things worse
Love will drive hate into hell
save all the universe
Heaven is where Love started
God gave us Love for free
the Lord is where all Love began
Love ends with you and me

Love to Live

If I didn't love you
then I wouldn't care
would not subject myself to
your hatred that I bare
If you knew me really
you''d know it's not fair
but you see things shallowly
see lies that aren't there
Your heart you need open
feel things as they be
stop the vilifying
of those fair - like me
In our youth, we're stupid
our crimes we may deny
when we're young, we make mistakes
make those who love us cry
At no one aim your anger
rather, learn to forgive
hatred won't enhance your life
you need to love to live
All the rage and bitterness
out your soul you need drive
Love's the only thing you need
to keep your life alive*
- 2012 -

Our (my) Son

You gave him birth
I give him life
I give him hope
you gave him strife
You taught him anger
I teach him 'forgive'
you taught him harshness
I teach him 'live'
You gave him little
I give him all
I teach him heaven
- not into hell fall
From me learns patience
from you learned stress
he knows I love him
- from you, he'll guess
From me learns gentle
from you learned cruel
indifference you showed him
time will over-rule
From you, learned vain women
not to quickly trust
learned from you unselfish
in girls is a must
From me learns truth
from you heard lies
you chose what's foolish
he chose what's wise
With me, he laughs
you made him cry
he'll live with me
with you, he'll die
We're both rejected
from your life shoved
he knows with me that
he'll always be loved

Eternal Love

I've loved you all my life
before my life began
I dreamed of you love giving
this race for you I ran
Always I've kept the hope
of you deep in my heart
I loved you long before
my life began to start
This love so vast and timeless
began before my birth
a love this deep and wonderful
began before the Earth
Immortal matrimony
with you what I dream of
forever to be one with you
in our eternal love
- 2012 -

For the girl I have
and always will - love

Lost Dove

How high they fall
from perch so tall
with Love so big
without so small
When no one cares
for you at all
the love you lost
can't hear your call
Now you can't bear
this loveless strife
you cannot live
on half a life
But now she's gone
was once your wife
her memory
in heart, a knife
You saw her as
a gentle dove
you will always
for her have love
The one only
love you think of
for her you pray
to God above

What Will Be

One day we'll be
as was before
we'll live in peace
there won't be war
In trust we'll dwell
in Love have faith
with patience, too
on God we'll wait
Won't be selfish
we'll change our fate
recharge our souls
invigorate
A life of joy
we'll come to know
a new Eden
we'll learn to grow
A life of Love
will come to be
fulfilled vision
our eyes will see
The curse alone
no longer be
we'll all be one
Love family

Love's Worth

Refuse all hate, refuse to kill
of war this world has had it's fill
concepts of peace are not in style
warmongers thoughts of hate are vile
All thoughts of peace their minds reject
a love of wealth their lusts reflect
to have power is what they crave
their sickness will dig their own grave
They want their wars - right here and now
at Love their twisted faces scowl
drums of conflict rabid they beat
will lead at end to their defeat
At Love and peace they vent their rage
led by satan - whom God will cage
destroy the Earth, but they don't care
into the face of death they'll stare
Their madness threatens all of us
our future appears ominous
but in their hatred don't believe
into your heart all love receive
Someday the Lord Love will perfect
a reign of peace you can expect
until God's Love sweeps all the Earth
you love with all the love you're worth

A Bit of Wisdom

Who cares what you may think?
Tell me what you know!
We all have opinions -
don't mean that it's so
Your thoughts might be stagnant
maybe lame and slow
with real you move forward
with truth you can grow
You might embrace falsehoods
may think wrongs are right
mistake fake for genuine
think darkness is light
Possibly you're gullible
believe all you hear
let bull go
in one and
out the other ear
You may believe those men
who wear suits and ties
the more power they have
the bigger their lies
Can't grasp truth with your tongue
find it in silence
with your common senses
seek intelligence

All (for you)

All that is faithful
that's loyal and true
all that is loving
I feel here for you
All that is generous
that's kind and giving
all that's unselfish
to me is living
All that is patient
forever I'll wait
all that's eternal
I won't desecrate
All these emotions
for you I feel
forever without you
I must learn to deal
All of these cravings
so deep in my soul
I'll always feel for you
out of my control
All of these feelings
I live night and day
dreams I dream of you
won't let go away
All thoughts I have of you
don't want to be free
these memories of you
are my life to me

The Burn Learn

So you think you suffer
you think that you know pain
you feel that you cannot stand more
will soon drive you insane
This torture sears like fire
so bad not hurt before
to you become unbearable
your heart can't stand much more
You feel your whole life burning
you stand alive in flame
willfully you torched your life
on yourself place the blame
Think you shouldn't feel this?
Just look what Christ went through
did not deserve what He suffered
for our sins - me and you
Summon up your courage
face up to your firestorm
you must understand your pyre
will be much more than warm
You must walk through the furnace
you must to ashes burn
immolate sins of your life
through Holy Fire you'll learn

Gathering Scattered Parts

I'm finally starting
to get back my life
pull my broken heart parts together
To rebuild my soul
near obliterated
you could have killed me with a feather
I gathered the fragments
of my scattered atoms
my molecules were lost in space
These memories of you
helped pull my life through
when I feel love, I see your face
Because of the love
that I have for you
my last days I'll live out in grace
Know now what to do
live my life without you
no one will ever take your place
- 2012 -

If you ever really loved someone,
you'll continue to love them forever -
or you never really loved them at all

Love's Worth

After all that I've been through
I've taken such a beating
after all Love's put me through
life can be so defeating
After all the pain I've felt
from others lies and cheating
I have learned that love can be
so very rare and fleeting
After all the grief I've lived -
the agony and sorrow
always I've kept hope alive
of true love with tomorrow
Always life has let me down
but always Love I'll follow
hoping if my love runs short
from your love I can borrow
Feel the range that real love has -
it's width, it's height and girth
someday all the love God has
will embrace all the Earth
When I feel the love I've felt
that started with my birth
I'll give all the love I have
I'll love for all Love's worth
- 2012 -

Some people cleverly rhyme about love -
some of us actually live it!

For my boozing, alcoholic fish friends -

Lay off the booze
lay on the pot
with booze you lose
herbs give you a shot
to be creative
with booze will not
be all you could be
booze and your thoughts rot
If you are an 'alky'
then boozer to me
if you're alcoholic
then loser you'll be
Do nothing addicting
from bad drugs be free
burn or eat good herbs
from evil things flee
- 2012 -
Spoken by one who knows (former bartender/bouncer)
Seen many good men & women go down in the sh!thole of addiction
