For Them

Innocent child
Where have you gone?

Unexpectedly bound
For the arms of angels!

Without the sweet caress
Of your mother...

No strong hug
From your father...

Without giggles and tickles
From brothers and sisters...

No smiling farewell to
Nana and Poppa!

Not for you dearest little one...
For them!

Fallen Petals








Fresh delicate blossoms
Growing in family orchards

Loved and nourished
With tender care

A world of hope
Bright young innocence
Eager to learn and share

Youthful soul lost in
Evil’s dark shadow

Black heart’s desire
To destroy
All that grows

Plucking little buds
One by one

Fallen petals
Shall remain
Forever young

Watching America Die

It hurts to see my country so divided
I can’t express my sorrow
In so many words
But I shall give it a try

It’s like the loss of people you love most
Your best friend ran off with
Your lover and
You've lost them both

It’s like being second place in a tournament
When you know you’re number one
Playing Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun

It’s like your mom and dad
Splitting up and
You can't understand why
Blaming yourself
All you can do is cry

It’s like finding out you’re adopted
After 30 years
Screaming at the top of your voice
And no one hears

It’s like someone you trust
Delivering a backstabing thrust
The ones closest to you
Stomp your heart to dust

It’s like trying to save a sinking soul and
Helplessly watching them drown
Walking empty streets where
No friends can be found

It's like watching the moon fall from the sky
Seeing your purple mountain’s majesty
Destroyed from within
Hanging her head and watching her die!

What Does a Temper Look Like?











I saw my tiny body lying
On the blood soaked bed....
Mommy screamed and cried for me,
"Wake up", then....
I saw her kiss my hurt little head....

"I didn't mean to do it!"
She sobbed and said to God....
"Please don't take my child from me,
I promise, I can make it stop!"

I didn't mind mommy fast enough...
Picking up my toys,
I made her lose her temper again, plus,
She said I make too much noise....

I said I'll help you find it mommy,
What does a temper look like?
It was too late to help her though,
Mommy went insanely wild!

I was only three years old
When my mommy made me die...
Jesus took me in His arms
And carried my soul away....
The only thing that makes me sad,
Although I never cry....
I didn't get a chance that day
To kiss my beautiful
Mommy goodbye!

Eggshell Boards











Quiet girl born in a very loud world
Tip toed gently on eggshell boards
While others stomped across titanium floors...

Never spoke out of turn,
She was barely ever heard...
Disappearing inside her head
Where she lived a perfect fantasy...

“Do as you’re told, not as we do,
Don’t forget little one...
Obey us, or the devil
Will come after you”!

Quickly she learns,
Intuitively knows
The ones who brought her here
Were deeply wounded souls!

Passing their toxic psyche
Through angry damaged blood,
Forcing their madness
Instead of giving absolute love....

Little girl is a woman now,
Standing up and still falling down,
One thing she knows for sure,
She’ll never again have to walk
Across eggshell boards!

Bump in the Road

They were “Bumps in the road”
Our American President said,
Referring to four Americans
Whose duty led
To their tragic death’s...
Four souls sacrificed for what?
Democracy, vengeance or a
Movie plot?

Leaving their grieving families behind,
Shattered lives questioning why,
While our government scrambles
To create ambiguous alibis!
It was a spoof of Mohammad the prophet
Which FORCED peaceful men to kill...
Please accept our humble U.S. apology
If you will!

America’s at fault of course,
Islam loves us and holds no remorse...
That’s what our government wants you to believe,
Lead your lives in a lackadaisical dream,
Until you succumb to World dominance
By default... not by intentional connivance...

When in reality it was to even a score
For the death of AbuYahra al Libi
By U.S, drone attack in their holy war...
Al Qaeda’s second in command,
A Libyan national, Islamic revered man,
Cheif Ayman a Zawahiri confirmed,
It was a planned attack to
Watch our embassy burn...
Very well designed and set in two waves,
Meant to exact death to America....
Show despise of our western ways...

In his words once again,
Mr. Obama gives subtle hints...
“The one organizing principle is Islam”, says he...

If this continues we’ll lose the land of the free!
Ask yourself this, my American friend...
Is this how you want to see our great country end?
Must we comply to government lies?

I fear if we remain silent and comatose...
We'll all become just another
"Bump in the road"

Dear Muslim Brotherhood (A satirical letter)

Muslim Brotherhood
Middle Eastern Countries
Dear Muslim Brotherhood,

I understand that you hate Americans and want to kill each one of us 1000 times, which is impossible in the first place, so I want to give you a few pointers on how to make us mad and possibly entice some of us to come after you and you’ll get your chance to kill us, but only one chance!
First of all, while you’re gathered in your caves sitting around your rock tables, sipping a nice hot cup of camel dung and date tea, plotting your next Anti American insult or attack, (mostly insults) because you have no transportation to travel to attack us!
Not for lack of desire, but because camels can’t swim that far and I’m not aware of an air force that you may have, or a fleet of ships that you’ve cleverly concealed from us!
Your decision to remain archaic has hindered your chances to any understanding of modern warfare, so sadly your choice of rock throwing or little RPG’s and AK-47’s haven’t a chance over our drones or our heat-seeking armor piercing weapons.

I have compiled several offensive and rather overused Middle Eastern tactics, which could use refreshing to perhaps become more effective in your future ranting!

Name Calling-
1-“Infidel” has been so overused that it’s lost it’s meaning and is mockingly worn on American tee shirts as a joke on you! Sort of an “In your face, you insane Jihad monkey”!
May I suggest switching back to “Capitalist Pigs”? This might tweak some American interest in your ranting!

2- “Death to America”: Again, this is getting rather lackluster, don’t you agree? It’s akin to scratching fingernails across a chalkboard at this point! You really need a new line, say for instance, “American’s eat pigs and we don’t like them because we don’t eat pigs, although we hear they are very tasty”!
Do you see how that gives you a reason to hate us? Because we can eat pigs and you can't!
The old green eyed monster has been the cause of many wars and cat fights!

3- “Mohammad is the Prophet and the Americans don’t believe us”! Well my dear terrorist, it saddens me to inform you that Mohammad was a descendant of Ismael, the bastard son of Abraham. He was also a murdering shameless pedophile. Read a history book, it’s as simple as that to clear this whole thing up! Then we can be friends!

4- Let’s talk about American Flag Burning: First of all, the American Flags that you’re burning are made in China, so maybe you’re offending the Chinese by destroying their fine products, but you certainly aren’t offending us, sorry, you’re just not!
However, I have a remedy to that problem that will help all parties involved!

Buy your American flags from an American Flag making company, that way, you will be the proud Jihaddi on your block who can say, “Look at me, I’m burning an authentic American flag, while shouting, “American’s eat pigs and we don’t like them because we don’t eat pigs, although we hear they’re very tasty”!
Plus, by buying American flags to burn, you’re generously supporting our capitalist economy, which we greatly appreciate! Your business is welcome!
Thanks and have a super day!

Signed,
An average pig eating American
