Beautiful face
That like a daisy opens its petals to the sun
So do you
Open your face to me as I turn the page.

Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,

War's a joke for me and you,
Wile we know such dreams are true.

Slow dulcimer, gavotte and bow, in autumn,
Bashõ and his friends go out to view the moon;
In summer, gasoline rainbow in the gutter,

Fear death?---to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
I am nearing the place,
...

a fleet of birds
in the sky
forming an arrow
cutting across the wind
...

Poland, France, Judea ran in her veins,
Singing to Paris for bread, singing to Gotham in a fizz at the pop of a bottle’s cork.

HUMAN SHIELD
the order of the day with every cadre
BATTLE FIELD
brought into the habitant world

O TO make the most jubilant poem!
Even to set off these, and merge with these, the carols of Death.
O full of music! full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!

Only dumb guys fight.
If I wasn't dumb
I wouldn't be fightin'.

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!

Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom, and Charley,
The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighter?
All, all, are sleeping on the hill.

Freedom fighter or terrorist? Depends whose side you’re on,
Africa’s ‘freedom fighters’… proud pirates everyone,
No freedom was ever gained for Black folk’s kith or kin,
Their fight was not for liberty, but to loot now from within.

When Bishop Berkeley said "there was no matter,"
And proved it--'twas no matter what he sald:
They say his system 'tis in vain to batter,

A healthy baby born on low
laying part of the southern earth

Where the majestic mountains just stand still,
Like Yogis seated in deep meditation, in absolute silence!

Why should I not celebrate it as an auspicious occasion?
Completion of 500th poem should not end my passion
I will have to struggle hard to make poems known to outside world

Grin.

Weary and listless, sad and slow,
Without any conversation,
Was a man that worked on The Overflow,
The butt of the shed and the station.
...

Men fight all shapes and sizes as the racing horses run,
And no man knows his courage till he stands before a gun.
At mixed-up fighting, hand to hand, and clawing men about
They reckon Fuzzy-Wuzzy is the hottest fighter out.

I waited today for a freight train to pass.
Cattle cars with steers butting their horns against the
bars, went by.
And a half a dozen hoboes stood on bumpers between

Full of music-full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!
Full of common employments-full of grain and trees.

Suspension girl,
Lives off a pention girl.

Life, my daily pulsatile life
My dreamy, inventive, joyous and rustic life,
How are you like?
Give me your full identity that I can like;

I am a wanderer in this nomadic land,
To whom can I lend a helping hand,
To make dark lives a little lighter,
Be a bastion of peace; not a fighter.

Imprisoned in squalor, like a rat in a cage
A hopeless ignition explodes into rage
Poverty's chains cut with mocking intent
Desensitized humans with anger to vent

Storms have beaten on this point of land
And ships gone to wreck here
and the passers-by remember it
with talk on the deck at night
...

Gangsters use it to commit murder and regret after
Never can you control your sense when you hold a bottle
Arouses in you, a spirit of a dramatic battle
Sober up to become a patriotic fighter
...

Let my beloved be buried alive with me,
In a grave of silence and dark solitude,
Where there is no latitude and no altitude,
Where there is no concept of the word "nude",

Mum you were everything that I could wish for or see
You were always there with me
I cry to tears in all that I do
Life is so hard without you

Of being militarily sound
Having fleet of enough fighters
To defend the sacred borders

I would like
to be born
in every country,
have a passport

Tagore's timeless poetry and everlasting lyrics.
Freedom, you're

rapturous in creation, oh joy.

The coast-road was being straightened and repaired again,
A group of men labored at the steep curve

As raggedy women line up for rice.
A scraggly head is killed by mice.

He tells me in Bangkok he’s robbed
Because he’s white; in London because he’s black;
In Barcelona, Jew; in Paris, Arab:
Everywhere and at all times, and he fights back.

Rotating fast in the sky
Like a fighter jet
Ready for a blinding strike

When they woke the Drum of Glory long ago in London East.

O wild kaleidoscopic panorama of jaculatory arms and legs.
The twisting, twining, turning, tussling, throwing, thrusting,
throttling, tugging, thumping, the tightening thews.

by sharpest shafts; and no shelter avails
from foul behest of the hellish fiend.
Him seems too little what long he possessed.

A Frenchman and an Englishman
Resolved to fight a duel,
And hit upon a savage plan,
Because their hate was cruel.
...

A respected man he is
A loved man he is
For his doings, for what he did
Yes he is a freedom fighter

“My coming to England [sic] in this way is, as I realize, so unusual that nobody will easily understand it. I was confronted by a very hard decision. I do not think I could have arrived at my final choice unless I had continually kept before my eyes the vision of an endless line of children’s coffins with weeping mothers behind them, both English and German, and another line of coffins of mothers with mourning children.”
—Rudolf Hess to his wife Ilse
June 10,1941

Where the sinister sun of the Syrians beat
On the brittle, bright stubble,
And the camels fell back from the swords of the heat,

Girdled by ocean and skies,
And the power of a world, and the heart of a race,
And a hope that never dies.

a slob.
He chose to sit in hourly expectation of a job.
He'd loop hisself upon a post, for seldom

Do in Gordon Cumming glory,
Bold lion hunter-first who made
With Africa tribes successful trade ;
First in those wilds to fire a gun,

And salty light reveals the Mayan School.
The Irish hope their names are on the harp,

Bishen Singh Bedi bowling
To a number eight Pommie;
The ball slow, hitting his front foot
Leaving him grimacing
...

The warrior killed;
pulled the trigger
dropped the bomb
and when asked why
...

Just a step away
The final landing on runway
With kite under control
Air traffic control gave final call
...

God, whom Niobe’s children encountered, O
you, avenger of boastful words on Tityos
the robber, and Phthian Achilles, all
but proud Troy’s victor,

Across the river
Along my way
Between home and school
There was an orphanage

Braver … Than All The Mighty Lions Can Roar
Braver … Than All The Spirited-Wings, That Soar

Braver … Than All Or Any Of Us … Is The Lord

It was black and on a chair it sat
In which Mrs. George Washington wanted to sit.
There she sat and had quite a fit.

On our heart. Affinity seems
To start a strange partnership, sparks
Off a mutual trust, our schemes

Where the snow sits on the mountain 'n' the
Summer aches below.

Two eyes like a small shaky lake,
A beautiful cold and enchanted face,
How simple the innocent girl
Like the sky was to me.

Of a great depression,

My parents were born here

Her heart is once again broken
Not due to failed love
But by the separation
Of the loved ones

Amid the heavy burden of the days of slavery
Confronted by the tyranny of Imperial law
Lives a comrade and a freedom fighter
With a faith in dream that is not but must be-

It is related that an athlete had been reduced to the greatest distress by adverse fortune. His throat being capacious and his hands unable to fill it, he complained to his father and asked him for permission to travel as he hoped to be hoped to be able to gain a livelihood by the strength of his arm.

Excellence and skill are lost unless exhibited.
Lignum aloes is placed on fire and musk rubbed.

For you seeking shelter from the northern storm,
Thought of you filled my head I walk for miles
Just to feel you closer to me and I feel troubled.

Enough is enough, the world has seen so far!

Decked in beauty dramatic, like a tree slender.

Unto your heart I sight with sun-bright agenda.

For my life has been
As dull as a wilted flower

With growing strength and new found wisdom, sensing I became brighter
Out of no where then came a burning desire, to be this type of fighter

They beget the wrong of war,
Whose wild night, with deeds immortal,
Sparkles brightly, star on star.
