Madrid
Madrid I wandered Madrid Enjoying the sights Believing I am El Cid A beloved Spanish knight Fighting not for blood But time A tourist stud Searching and seeking in rhyme So much to see For two days of travel And I was free At my pace to unravel All of the great destinations Sitting in courtyards and plazas Sipping coffee on vacation Recalling all Spains mighty causes Fighting Muslims invaders Discovering the new world Subduing the English pirates and raiders Surviving Fascism as it whirled Spain had endured From good times to bad Unsecured to secured Moving past the dictatorship fad Reminding me of Don Quixote escapades One of my favorite operas and books He is fighting villains on his crusade There is more going on than it looks He is fighting a noble fight To stay pure and true A beacon of light And a strong bond or glue To the noblest of ideals For all of the needy and depressed You must hear his appeals To be brave and pass the test True to goodness True to the humanity True to the truth True to God Anything is possible If you give it your best Possible and best is compossible With a holy quest A holy quest for what is right Maybe not popular Pushing back the blight As a holy swashbuckler My mind ran through these thoughts As I sat at Don Quixotes statue And I was happy to bear the cross And I remembered and knew It should all be for God The number one thing And it is hard not to be a fraud But you must cling to the King No matter what Or under any circumstance You know it in your gut Take a holy stance For your friends and neighbors For the born and unborn God will reward your labors And you will be reborn
Atrocities
Mankind is inhuman and cruel We do not listen and obey The earth is a precious jewel And we have thrown it away Murders abound Since the time of Cain and Abel Just look around And watch your cable Every single day Someone is slain People do as they may Causing so much pain Watch the same news And war is widespread Always a lit burning fuse So many massacred and dead Add in disease And more are extinguished Buckling us to our knees No one is distinguished Disease will find you Where ever you may be Covid or the flu You can not hide or flee At least your alive Living a life of plenty Just look at the archive Many lives are not worth a penny Some are malnourished Some are exploited Some are enslaved Some are aborted They are existing For a period of time Most are not resisting It is not a crime Abortion is legal To kill a child But not an eagle Abortion needs to be reviled How about the famished Throughout the globe Their needs have vanished As we launch space probes Spending billions To go into space Wasting trillions For a space race Race to where Race to make the cut Race to be fair Race to what What is a human life worth How much do we spend To save all humans on earth Will this neglect ever end Why do we not realize This is not what God intended Can you not hear the cries Are you not offended
Holiday
Holiday
Christmas
Will not decay
With an accomplice
Always fresh
With a happy companion
Flesh to flesh
And much affection
Life is fun
Life is exciting
Life is a blast
Life is exhilarating
A special person
Makes all the difference
Affection and cooperation
Tolerance and reverence
Honor and cherish
Give all you can
Romance will not perish
With many parties over your lifespan
Birthdays
Halloween
Anniversaries
Weddings
Many occasions to share
Arm and arm
Under loving care
And mesmerizing charm
Sing with joy
For this grand opportunity
Only we can destroy
Our loving community
And I will guard and protect
This one in a lifetime chance
Allowing no disrespect
During this lifelong dance
She found me
She chose me
I have claimed her
And I will keep her
Forever and ever
To death do us part
And I will never
Lose my sweetheart
I Never Dreamed
I never dreamed
Someone from my past
Feelings redeemed
So much time has passed
I kept up with her
We would always be friends
She would concurr
Our friendship transcends
We have reconnected
Both being single
We have redirected
For us to mingle
She watched me sail
Commenting along the way
I called her instead of email
Just not any comminique
We talked for hours
Just about everything
She must have superpowers
She was so addicting
We communicated frequently
Four or five times a day
I enjoyed her evidently
Because she was so gay
She was brilliant
She was happy
She was exciting
She was captivating
I wanted more
I wanted that energy
I wanted to explore
I wanted synergy
I asked her out
And she agreed
What a rout
I decreed
Too smooth
Too slick
Too easy
Too sleek
We were so agreeable
I was flabbergasted
Our future is unforeseeable
And it was not forecasted
Now a new journey
Where will we go
A magnificent tourney
Only God will know
