One World

    I don’t know what you believe
But believe me it’s just fine
We live on the same planet
But it ain’t mine

Just got a question, Somethin I don’t
Understand and it gets me to the core
It really boggles my mind
What the heck are we fighting for

Your religion my religion,
What does it matter, we all die
Why do we **** and why are we killed
For religion in this world gone awry

I feel what I feel in my heart
But I have no desire to ****
If you feel what You feel in your heart
We shouldn’t force each other’s will

When everything is temporary
Why is there such need for control
And why do people have to die
If they don’t willingly play the role

Why can’t anyone see that no one
Should have to concede
That love and peace is the
Only thing we all need

What can one race gain
Or one religion to unite
Sooner or later someone somewhere
Would find a reason to fight

There’s no reason for the way things are
There’s no sense in our state of unfurled
We can all be different, it’s alright
Because there’s only one world

A Knife In The Back

   When you’re nice person
You’re basically just a rug
People will walk on you, you’re lucky
If you get a thanks and a hug

The Devil is everywhere and
He will test your faith in every way
To watch you struggle just makes him
Grin, it’s just a game to play

He is an illness he’s an addiction, he’s the
Car Accident, or the girl with blue eyes
For he’s the one and only Devil
He can take on any disguise

So in your faith stay strong
And be prepared for any attack
Because when you let your guard down
That’s when you’ll get a knife in the back

Caterpillar To A Butterfly

  I Never thought I would be a husband
Never thought I would be a dad
Never thought life had a purpose, never
Saw anything good from a life so sad

But through it all some how I survived
And it’s something I’ll never understand
But there’s always been a light from above
And I guess I don’t need to know the plan

Never saw myself as more than worthless
For it was pounded in my brain
Never had a moment to be proud
Never wanted to carry on my fathers name

But as we fast forward to now
I can see all the times Jesus carried me
So I gave him my heart
And from the darkness I am free

I have a beautiful wife and daughter too
You know that life that wasn’t for me
But some how here I am
And I feel it was meant to be

When I think about it you know, it most
Always brings tears of joy to my eye
Because I got to see my baby girl
Transform from a Caterpillar to a Butterfly

Heaven Or Hell

    They say the end is near, they say
There will be a day as dark as night
I’ve got no worries about that time
For I’m on a heart felt flight

I know that I won’t be one among
The millions of humans cry
Beneath that dark and Devilish
End of times Apocalyptic Sky

But I am not writing this to say I’m
Above you, no not by far
But just to ask a question, I’m just
Wondering where you are

Have you received God’s precious gift
Or can you hear Hell’s Bell’s toll
If what they say is true, there’s no time
To waste to decide who gets your soul

As long as you breathe, you can
Listen to that still small voice
You have the mind and freedom
To decide, it’s your choice

You may question, how do I know,
I say I feel it in my heart
I’ve been put back together
After being so torn apart

I just know I feel his love,
I don’t have to worry or wonder
This may not be enough for you
And you may hesitate as you ponder

I just want you to know, I gave him my
Heart and he took away my pain and sorrow
Life is short and everyone knows
There’s no guarantee of a tomorrow

Maybe there’s nothing to it at all
How can any one human really tell
Until you’ve breathed your last breath
And find yourself in Heaven or Hell

I used a couple of lines from
Poems I’ve written before
Heart Felt Flight and Apocalyptic Sky
But they fit and helped me write this one
Hope you have enjoyed it and it gave you
Something to think about. God Bless!!!

Government Experiment

The flu is real, COVID—19 Is real
And so is Cancer and MD
and so many other things that
Can harm either you or me

As we move forward into the future
Life isn’t a candy stick of peppermint
Please know that all the rest was
Just a government Experiment

The Fringe

     Throughout history it’s been so evident
And we can see it today as well
This is the ultimate proof of the fire
Raging in the depths of Hell

It’s racism in its pure form
Just in case you didn’t have a clue
It’s a lunatic vision it’s a dangerous
Movement with a dangerous view

It’s ****** and his attempt to annihilate
The race known as the Jew
It’s the English and what they did to
The Native American Indian too

It’s what the White have done to the Black
And what Japan tried to do to America
It’s an evil in all of us and it presents itself
Everywhere and it’s also Media hysteria

America as we are seeing signs of becoming
Third world like as they want us to cringe
Please open your eyes so you can see
We must be aware of the fringe

I Couldn’t Stop The Tears

   Well it’s no secret, I love KISS
But that’s not all of me
There’s so much more that I love
So I wanna make my decree

I grew up in the seventies
It was the decade of the best
From my metal to easy listening and
Country and folk they all past the test

Yes I absolutely love my KISS and
Alice Cooper, Poison and AC/DC
My Nazareth and Stryper and DOKKEN
And Rush, good stuff I hope you agree

But there’s so much more music
I have in my heart and my head
Like Jim Croce, James Taylor, Dr Hook
Bob Seger  and America and Bread

I cannot forget to mention the
Beach boys and Beatles and Elvis too
And some country George Straight and
George Jones could leave ya blue

And last night I watched I’ll be me
Glen Campbell’s finale tour
A documentary about his struggle with
Alzheimer’s and the tears did pour

And now the lyrics are haunting me
I can still hear them whine
I’m the Wichita Lineman
And I’m still on the line

For the memories of it all came flooding
Back and reminded of those years
And yes I will admit I was just a big baby
For I couldn’t stop the tears

In The Mist Of Darkness

    In the mist of darkness
I will continue to shine
For I have the love of Jesus
In this heart of mine

In the mist of darkness
When the world is falling apart
Just like Atlas I will stand strong
With nothing but love in my heart

In the mist of darkness
If I get knocked down
I’ll get back up again and
Firmly place my feet upon the ground

In the mist of darkness
One thing will always be true
Just like Jesus, if you reach for me
I’ll be there for you

In the mist of darkness
When the tears fill your eyes
I’ll be steadfast with the truth
In a world filled with lies

There’s no mythical Unicorn or Pegasus
But like the hundred eyes of Argus
Evil will surround us, especially
In the mist of darkness

It Only Takes One
Re written

  Just food for thought
Something I’ve been thinkin
Something we all need to comprehend
And let it all sink in

You know how it is on a rainy day and
The rule is we should have our lights on
But you know some won’t
Yes there’s always one

The snow has been falling for hours
Over night so you scrape your car clean
And there’s the lazy one just wiped a spot
On the drivers side you know what I mean

Like you have a dog and you walk it
And you always pick up the poo
But there are those people out there
That refuse the respectful thing to do

Like when you go to a Gas Station and
Find litter that’s been dumped from a car
Yet there’s the trash can not three feet
Away but that’s how people are

These, the same people that protest about
Bad drinking water and our environment
I don’t like being the man of darkness and
Doom but there’s a need for enlightenment

So now there’s this virus we all know
The all powerful COVID—Nineteen
Shutting down a nation and people dying
But some people aren’t so keen

There’s the ones who just don’t care
And some just can’t understand
So what’s the big picture for the
Rest of us here in the heartland

I fear this is something that will continue
And that it will never be gone
Because the world is filled
With the stupid and it only takes one

My Email Response
  
   My Uncle sent an Email
Stating he was doing well
Trying to stay safe and calm
Staying home, the irony him being a survivor Of Vietnam
So light heartedly but but seriously too
The following is my response I’ll share with you

Glad to know that you are still among the livin
And o biding by the rules you were given
Meanwhile I’m on the front line, the lucky one
In the game of Chess the sacrificial pawn
A lowlife wheelchair van driver
Donning PPE striving to be a survivor
As the sights are straight from the movie screen
Living in a live apocalyptic disaster scene
Arriving at a make shift care facility
Where the fiction becomes the reality
Watching as people decontaminate each other
And my PT’S panic in one form or another
With the Police waiting in force
Just in case something goes off course
We were bright and early eight AM today
Lined up in a convoy and on our way
Moving PT’S to an abandoned hotel
A place just the fire removed, just short of Hell
With no words for we had no supplement
A sight we could not record or document
We decontaminated our trucks in the rear
We removed all of our protective gear
And we repeated this throughout the day
But I took a moment to bow and pray
For I now have visions I will forever keep
Hopefully I will manage to get some sleep
And tomorrow I hope for something new
But fear the same will be what holds true
So now I must rest my head
And cover myself in my bed
The alarm will sound all too soon I know
And again out of my door I will go
So say a prayer and wish me luck
Signing off now, love, your nephew Chuck
So please don’t be one of nonchalance
And I hope you liked my Email response

Enchanted

   Enchanted is a word associated
In books and movies of fairytales
A vision of the love Angel Cupid
Through the heart his arrow empales

Twinkling starlight and love everlasting
In a land of wonder and fireflies
Of blue skies and rivers of honey
And a land of flowers and butterflies

The world of reality is far removed
From the world of our dreams
And all we can really hope for is a life
Somewhere in between the two extremes

Thirty seven years ago I laid my eyes
Upon her and my heart was brought to life
I told my friend that she was the one
That I would have for my wife

It was truly love at first sight, we had a date
It was a year and a day later we said I do
And suddenly I was living in a fairytale
And a life so wonderful and new

Today is our thirty sixth anniversary
So maybe Cupid’s arrow was implanted
Just maybe the fairytale does exist
For my reality is enchanted

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife
Cynthia, my Snow White, My Sleeping Beauty, My Belle, My Cinderella,
My real life fairytale come true.
I loved you then and I love you now
And forever I will always love you

Front Line

   We don’t have the evidence if this
COVID-19 Was an accident or deliberate
But the fact remains that it is real
And it is able to mutate

So this is not technically called a war
There’s no Bombs or Bullets flying
But all over the world, reports are coming
In with thousands of people are dying

We hear China talking but we all
Know that they are lying
And quickly we have a Pandemic
And the world is crying

The numbers could be astronomical
And I don’t want to sound like a manic
I am not writing this to cause chaos
And certainly I don’t want to cause panic

But I do want to stress, in these times
Well I’ll put it like this
I want you all to stay home
Stay calm and listen to KISS

Seriously though it is getting scary
And it’s not something anyone would pine
But here we are the people in health care
Standing on the front line

Police/Flashing lights
                  (Chaos/Confusion)

  It is just another day
And we are on our way home from School
But good or bad
We had to remember the golden rule

Well there was really more than one, never
Make too much noise coming in the door
Never leave your shoes or toys
In the middle of the floor

Never bring a friend over
To spend the night
It was always best if we
Kept them out of sight

Because we never knew when
There was going to be Police/Flashing lights
Chaos/Confusion-Pain and tears
Another day with on of his drunken fights

Like the time the Refrigerator & Stove
We’re in the yard and he was on the porch
With a Shotgun Holding the Police at bay
Or the time in the middle of the night
My sister had to run across the street to
Get the Police so they could take him away

Paddy Wagons and slurred words
Sights and sounds I’ll never forget
Though I pray that they leave me
But they haven’t yet

I think the visions of my mothers face
Every time that he made her cry
Will truly stay with me
Until the day I die

I guess even if I lived a life of illusion
I would still not escape
Police/Flashing Lights, Chaos/Confusion

Another poem from my past from my
First book (New Angel) as I am sifting
Trough it to decide what I want to put
In my new book (Heart Felt Flight)
The events in this poem were a constant
Way of life for us.
He drank all day and by afternoon it didn’t
Take much for the whole neighborhood to
Know that our dad Joe was at it again and
It wouldn’t be long until there
Was Police/Flashing Lights
Chaos/Confusion

Babies & Love

  Yellow Roses and Butterflies
Ice Cream and babies & Love
These are the simple things
She held dear, along with the Lord above

She had a beautiful smile
And we could make her laugh until she peed
She would laugh so hard
And be unaware of the liquid she freed

She had a heart of gold
No one can deny
Sometimes I scream to Heaven
I cry, why, why, why

But the world keeps turning
And we all know the drill
We all have to keep on living
And understand that it’s God’s will

So now I cherish the simple things
She held so dear, along with the Lord above
Like yellow Roses and Butterflies,
Ice Cream and babies & Love

Away From The Lights

  I live in the City,life is lived
In a whirlwind, a quickened pace
I’ve never felt like this was the life
For me, no I feel so out of place

But it’s been this way for all my life
And I’ve learned to adapt
But there’s always been a yearning
For a simpler way, to be untapped

A slowed down way of things with
A porch and a lemonade or tea
A place where the Rooster crows and
Stars fill the sky like the water of the sea

Away from the sirens and crowded streets
Away from the concrete highways
Away from the skyscrapers and malls
Away from the this mental craze

Away from the life of the fast lane
And all of the City sights
I just once want a life of peace
Somewhere far away from the lights

All That Matters Is You

  Where I work this is the way we roll
This is deeply planted in our soul
There’s things in this world we can’t control
We give comfort and we console

I do what I do because I care
I transport patients in a wheelchair
Still health care it’s the Cross I bear
Proudly my uniform I wear

From total knees and hips too
Drug abuse and alcoholics and the flu
But now the world is a scary new
But one thing will remain true

Doesn’t matter your religion Lutheran, Hindu
Doesn’t matter your race, black, white, Bantu
Doesn’t matter your political view
All that matters is you

When It Gets Real

   On stand by tonight until ten
Ready for PPE
None came my way
Call it a victory mark it down as a win
Tomorrow though confirmed for me
Tomorrow is a new day
Tomorrow I will come in
I will  transport patients with COVID—19
So for them, for me I pray
No need to worry
No reason to know what to feel
All that matters is I do what I do
When it gets real

Arizona

   The desert is long, the desert is wide
The Sun is hot, the Sun is high
The Tarantula and the Scorpions creep
The Buzzard and the Eagle and the Falcon fly
The Canyon is large, the Canyon is deep
The Cactus and the Joshua tree grow
The Tumble **** rolls and spirits call
The night is cold, the night is long
The Moon is bright, the River winds
The Rattle Snake and the Coral Snake live
And the Mountain Lion Stalks
The Shadows play tricks
And Men lose their minds
The Wind blows, the Wind howls
The colors are like the Rainbow
The time stands still.

Beautifully Broken

    We know that you’ve been hurt
Deep down in your soul
The music no longer plays your song
There’s no country there’s no rock & roll

You think there’s no love for you
The ship passed unseen in the night
Love for you is just a dead star
And what’s left is it’s dimming light

But I know that love will find you
And recognize the sparkle in your eyes
It will be so spectacular and it will be
The most wonderful of a surprise

The planets will someday all align
Though I know the universe is vast
And it seems completely impossible
But you will find a love that last

The music will play again and
I know the birds will sing
The flowers will bloom and from the grey
Color will again be returned to everything

Your heart will beat and be warm like it’s
Wrapped in a quilt that’s beautifully woven
Happily ever after is waiting for you and
No more will you be beautifully broken

Just for you Beautifully Broken

Black & White

  Their love is youthful and beautiful
He makes her smile with just a glance
He’s so happy to have someone love him
Something more than a lustily romance

The planets were all aligned
The day they caught each other’s eye
A match made in Heaven so glorious
It even made the Devil cry

Everything about it was so picturesque
Butterflies spreading their wings to the wind
A storybook love we all dream about
Every word written would trend

A colorful rainbow and white puffy clouds
The Sun shining through so bright
Darkness never fell upon them except
The natural of the night

As they grew older and their hair
Turned grey,  it was as from the start
Their love for each other was held
Firmly deep down in their heart

They loved each other with every ounce
Of their being, such a majestical sight
They died together and all that’s left is
The memories in pictures of black & white

Living In The Horror

   Life we took for granted
The Sun will rise tomorrow
But now the cloud of darkness has
The world in the threshold of its sorrow

Even the addicted, with so many
Attempts of suicide they try
Are clinging to life because they
Really don’t want to die

It feels like we should all paint with
The lambs blood above our door
So that the death cloud passes over
And swear to sin no more

For now we face a real pandemic
And life seems to be an uncertainty
And we are a world facing a new
Challenge and a new reality

It is now we must all realize, precious
Yes life is and we must hold on
And instead of taking learn to give
For a day soon we may be gone

As the world is playing out a most
Enormous powerful scene
The scariest one ever anyone has
Witnessed upon its screen

For it seems there is no end to this
Coronavirus as it continues to devourer
And we will all play our parts
As we are living in the horror

New Dawning

   I spend my day thinking of you
I visualize your eyes sparkling blue
Diving into your ocean I pursue
Bodies naked in the meadow misty dew

Hearts racing with every sensual touch
So overwhelming it can almost be too much
Never has something consumed me such
I hold the vision in a tight clutch

The vision as real as a movie on the screen
A full color explosion of my daydream
With nothing like I’ve ever foreseen
With so much passion in every scene

And in the evening I come home to you
And my daydream suddenly comes true
Then as I sleep again the dream is a brew
Never feeling old but fresh and new

Light rain falls as we sit neath the awning
I look into your eyes and see them spawning
Though I’m worn out and yawning
So elated and I embrace the new dawning

Bat Delicacy

   China is a place known for exotic
Foods things like perhaps Horse or Rat
Dogs,Cats, Scorpions, Snakes and more
Including yes you know it the Bat

So this Coronavirus upon us now
Is you guessed it from the Bat
They were killing one and in the
Process the blood did splat

Of course they were unaware of what
Conspired and so this virus did spread
And now the world is getting sick
And some are ending up dead

Now here’s the thing about this particular
Virus that most people don’t know
They aren’t telling us but it is available
But I will enlighten with another blow

You see this one is a cell with thorns
Making it easier to attach
And the other thing is even if you survive
The initial there is still a catch

The damage that it leaves behind
Can lead to heart or liver disease
So I caution you to be very careful
Be very careful I beg you please

Now I am not a racist but I’ve always felt
To make America great again
Then should we like years before
Have products made by the American

I also wanna say please wash your hands
Keep them away from your faces
And know that it survives the heat too
Florida, Australia, also  have known cases

Anyway here we are under attack by a
Virus, so I will say this sarcastically elegantly
The world is in some real danger all because
China likes their stupid Bat Delicacy

My response to Addictions by Acme

For The Addicted

    For the addicted there’s no hate
For the addicted there’s sadness
For the addicted there’s anger
For the addicted there’s madness

For the addicted there’s pain
For the addicted wants to die
For the addicted hurts so many
For the addicted our tears we cry

For the addicted though it’s not a disease
For the addicted it was a choice
For the addicted there’s help
For the addicted I utter with devoice

For the addicted Have given up
For the addicted chose not to fight
For the addicted lives in the dark
For the addicted closes their eyes to the light

For the addicted there is shame
And the whole world is afflicted
For the addicted we pray for
God’s Grace for the addicted

Forgive me my views but myself being
A victim of child abuse at the hands of
An alcoholic father mentally and physically
Because he chose his love for alcohol instead
Of his love for his wife and children.
And I know it’s a choice not a disease
Because when my turn came to make the same choice, I chose to love my wife and daughter. And the easy way out for me could have been choosing alcohol or drugs or both because of everything I went through but I CHOSE to fight and not give up on life or myself. God Bless the addicted but you can chose to fight or you can stay addicted and cause more heartache and pain than you will ever realize.

Our Certain Uncertainty

  Since the beginning of time
This has always been true
In our life we never know when our
Time here in this world is through

With this Coronavirus though humans
May be closer to being extinct
I am not one to push the panic button
But by being human we are linked

Now our Mother Earth is getting its
Revenge for our abuse
For we take and take and litter and
Dump our waste and there’s no excuse

So now here we are, the world
Is on the edge of an emergency 🚨
And the one thing that hangs in the
Balance is still our certain uncertainty

So I got off closer to my off
Time tonight after driving over 200 miles today which isn’t uncommon for me but as I’m driving I am aware with all the rain we’ve been having that our creeks and rivers are rising. Yea on top of everything else there could be some flooding. Anyway this is an example of how my brain works and I wanted to share it with everyone. You see I started thinking about ugly Trolls like in our childhood story Billy Goat Gruff, not the cute little trolls in the new children’s movies today. Anyway one thing led to another and this whole different story started turning in my head as I was driving. About a Sheriff and his daughter in a small town down south and well everyone in town knew the sheriff as Troll. I couldn’t wait to get home and write it the only way I know how and I hope I did it justice, so just let me know.



            A Trolls Revenge

   He’s the Sheriff of a small town down south
His day is boring with routine patrol
But everyone knows you don’t cross him
He’s known to everyone as Troll

Her name was Sara Jane a blonde haired
Blue eyed beauty, his only child
They were Christians and very reserved
But she yearned for just once to be wild

She was untouchable to all the boys
No one wanted to date the sheriff’s daughter
For if you broke her heart then surely
You’d face his wrath and slaughter

He was mean and protective and he
Warned her of boys and their devilish way
Each night he would thank the Lord for his  Blessings and for her safety he would pray

One evening three boys attacked her and
Had their way, threatened what they’d do
If she told her daddy, she got home and went
To her room and daddy knew

Daddy couldn’t protect her that day
Each night in her room she’d cry
And one year later she took her life
Leaving a letter of a sad goodbye

Soon after a warning went out stating
A killer of boys was in the area
The town was on alert and parents
We’re in a state of hysteria

One afternoon he came upon those boys
As they were unaware of his presence
He heard their laughter about What they had
Done, now they’d face their sentence

It would get blamed on the unknown killer
His outrage and anger was so profound
He tortured and killed those boys
Their bodies will never be found

His daughter was everything to him
Her death he swore he would avenge
And silently the whole town knew that
Those boys fell victims to a trolls revenge

HELLO POETRY PSA

In all seriousness I hope that everyone is
Doing well and you are all safe and secure
From this Coronavirus.
I’m an FTO for a private Ambulance company
In Ohio. I am just getting ready to start my shift for today. I do have an off time but just to give you an example, Yesterday my off time was at 1700 hours 5:00 PM.
I clocked out five hours after that at
2200 hours 10:00 PM.
I posted my last poem over 20 hours ago.
I pray that all of you stay safe and that no one catches this virus.

Back To The Beginning Of The End

  It’s all clear to me now
But I didn’t see it then
How my world was falling apart
And I was losing more than just a friend

I set out on the road, in search
For something that was already mine
I was sure it was just over the horizon
But with each day I could see that I was blind

Further and further, I moved on
And all the fault was my own
I thought that there was something better
But all that it left me was alone

How can a man do what I did
And dream of lust and fantasy
When everything he ever wanted
Was already his reality

How could I throw it all away
Without blinking an eye
Now I have to live with this regret
Until the day that I die

Thinking about it, Brings nothing but pain
And memories of the past
If I could turn back the hands of time
Then I would be back home at last

But now I live each day and I
Punish myself for my crime
I’ll spend the rest of my life wishing
That I could turn back the hands of time

Back to the beginning of the end
That is where I wish I could be
Back to the beginning of the end
When I thought I just needed to be free

Back to the beginning of the end
Just before our last goodbye
Back to the beginning of the end
Just before I made you cry

Yes right before I made my worst mistake
For now my life is in a state of suspend
And the reality is knowing that I can never
Go back to the beginning of the end

Unlimited Time

   She was a beautiful woman she was
So vein, she didn’t want to grow old
More importantly she didn’t want to die
So to the Devil her soul she sold

The deal was for her, time would stand still
She gets to keep her beauty for eternity
In blood she signed on the dotted line
And a life of hell was a certainty

Time would still pass for everyone around
Her and loved ones would die
A thousand years and a thousand lover’s
And millions of tears she would cry

A catch twenty two, to love or not to love
Her world was torn apart
Either decision still left her
With an ultimately broken heart

The end of days would come and she
Would walk the Earth alone
She’s still as young and beautiful as she was
Before and the Devil laughs on his throne

As she walks and cries she hears the
Echoes of Hell’s Bell’s as they chime
All the while regretting her wish
For unlimited time

Hope

Since the beginning of our time
Good and evil have existed side by side
Good is all around us in the open
Evil likes the darkness and tries to hide

Good we seem to overlook and evil
Reveals itself when we least expect it
Good is in our hearts and soul but we can
Be evil too for evil’s Fire is always lit

All of technology can be used for good
And evil can use it to play it’s game
We know good in the name of Jesus
And Lucifer to be evil’s name

Social media is one such example
Of just how each can be used
Anything good is wonderful and
Evil just cannot be excused

Here at hello poetry our thoughts and
Feelings are here for all to see
We have an opportunity to share ourselves
And it’s easier to just be free

And is doesn’t matter about our age or
Gender or views or race
We get to know each other no matter the
Miles apart, it’s as if we’re face to face

For me writing is one of the ways that
With the evil I can cope
And here at hello poetry I’ve found
All of you and in humanity I’ve found hope

I Will Re Evaluate
          My Own Intelligence

   It is the year twenty, twenty
We have come a long way right
So our intelligence should be high IQ
Our future well and bright

This was my thought as I go about
My every day simple task
But I look and see intelligence must
Be blocked by some type of casque

The brain of modern mankind
Has not advanced as it was perceived
Intelligence is far from reach
And is going un received

A media panic was put upon our nation
And for whatever reason everyone needed TP
Some one please help me, for now I feel
As if it’s fifty billion BC

What is the connection between the
Coronavirus and this
Was there a memo or warning of
Some kind, what did I miss

Are we a people of caveman brains
I really thought we were smarter
If we are, I guess everyone’s brain
Just left town on a charter

But the reality is, no we haven’t advanced
At all and so now with great diligence
Because I was wrong About us humans
I will re evaluate my own intelligence

Diamonds And Tears

   She was so beautiful
It was that first spark
It turned into a flame
That lit up the dark

He was so handsome
She saw wonder in his eyes
They couldn’t hide it,
It was a love they couldn’t disguise

It started as a whirlwind
But they were both so vein
It wasn’t much longer
That it started to rain

They had children
And he found lust
She cried in the night
As their love turned to rust

He bought her diamonds
When he had done her wrong
He always said he was sorry
But it was always the same song

Now that love that had promise
They thought would last for years
Is nothing but a forgotten dream
Living on diamonds and tears

From my first book “New Angel”
Lulu.com (If interested)
In search box type New Angel by
Charles Kean —this is not an advertisement
When I wrote this it wasn’t about a cheating man, it was about my father and him making up to my mother after he had
Beaten her and us the night before,
From being drunk.
It was rarely diamonds we were poor
But there was always tears
and it was always the same song.

🔥 FIRE🔥

  It’s what we all require
Something to our heart inspire
A longing a real desire
We need fire 🔥

Love making heat bodies perspire
Something to lift us higher
A coming together rectifier
We need fire 🔥

Passionate souls aspire
A connection all can admire
A flame that will never expire
We need fire 🔥

And that it stays lit like mine!!!

Panic
  
     The world buys what the media sells
Now everyone is manic
Panic—Panic—Panic
#Coronavirus #Media manipulation
#Stupid People

Nation Panic coming soon

Old Ones

  I remember my youth and
The energy that was endlessly flowing
And today I feel that energy
Continually slowing

I remember my elders and
How they envied me
Wishing they could store
That energy for eternity

Now the years have passed me by
And I still feel the kid Inside of me
But I have no clue just where
That energy might be

I know it's lost in some
Kind of a galaxy Void
Harnessed inside some
Kind of a robot droid

Or maybe it's frozen in the
Space and time doldrums
Or maybe it was  hijacked
By the old ones

Destiny

     Destiny is a video game
We play it on our Xbox or PS3
I am still not sure if it's a game
That's a good game for me

My brothers are hoping
That I become a true hero fighter
I don't know if it will ever come to be
But I did **** the giant tank spider

Time slips away as we fight aliens
On a distant planet in a far off Galaxy
It is amazing how realistic it all seems
As the three of us get lost in the fantasy

As Titans or Warlocks we fight
To save the existence of Humanity
And we bond as brothers and pat
Ourselves on the back for our false vanity

We are men with lives and we all
Have our own responsibility
We become children when we play
As we join together in a war of hostility

Me in Worthington and Dave in Gahanna
And Jimbo in Zanesville
Yet we fight together on the same planet
In the same building or on the same hill

Having a great time with out a care
Of our everyday life and stress
Taking turns being the one forging forward
With initiative and great aggress

As I pack it all into my vault of great memories
I wonder of our fantasy and our reality
And what will become of each when
We reach our final destiny

We Are Healed
  
        
     With a Star in the night over Bethlehem
And his birth it was bestowed
And after a life of love and miracles
Into the city of Jerusalem on a Donkey he rode

Soon he would be beaten and whipped
To the point of being near dead
They made him carry his own Cross
And placed a Crown of thorns upon his head

Nailing Spikes through his hands and feet
They secured him to that Cross
His life they would take and the world
Would all know of his loss

For all of the worlds sin was placed upon him
And even after everything he was put through
He spoke Father Forgive them
For they know not what they do

And with the Death of our Christ for
Everyone in the world it was revealed
To all each man woman and child
With his stripes we are healed

God Bless everyone!!!

My Corona

  I live my life on the edge so I
Bought some corona beer
I drank three of them and I
Drank them free of fear

Let’s all Panic and and buy all the
Sanitation supplies from the stores
Let’s use them excessively and then
Touch the handles on the doors

The gas pump and the escalator rail
Wash your hands but did the one before
Are you aware of everything that you touch
Like the simple every day at the store

The grocery store provides the wipes
For your protection, they do their part
Then you get to the register
And they switch your cart

You wiped yours down but did the one before
Let’s all protest about our environment
Let’s show our pride so everyone can see
And let’s blame it on the government

And when the day is done
And silence is the only sound
Let’s leave the area in peace and
Leave all of our trash on the ground

Yes let’s go to the gas station and dump
Our trash pump side that’s what we do
A trash can is provided two feet away
So is the problem, shame on you

Pick up after your pets it’s your responsibility
Bags are provided and yet there’s the poo
Right at the post with the bags
I swear this is true

Now your family is sick and you don’t know
Why and you want to place blame
Well just look in the mirror and see
The person that deserves the fame

Litter is everywhere the guilty know who
They are, the water isn’t safe to drink
Yes blame it on everything else but when
You threw your trash down did you think

No you didn’t so this is where we are
People you literally make me sick
This is poem is intended for the careless
You know the ones that are just a *****

So now it’s time to Panic, oh but you’re
To cool to put litter in it’s place
That’s the mindset of this declining
Evolution of the human race

You know the first stanza was just for
A laugh but the rest I hope was more
This is not a joke and so wash your hands
Touch everything, did the one before

Last stanza I’m through with my rant
I surrender to the woman of Zeus Latona
I will pray that you are safe from the
Coronavirus as I drink my corona

Passion Never Dies

     Love is for everyone
Not just for the lucky few
Though I know if you’re loveless
You may not believe this to be true

Love is enchanted and magical
Love is a blazing and raging fire
Love is everything we long for
Love is what we all desire

You can love and be broken
You can **** it all to hell
You think you’ll never love again
But you really just can’t tell

Love is more than just a dream
Love is very, very real
For if it wasn’t it wouldn’t
Control how we feel

One thing is certain even if
No one ever hears our cries
Love can and will endure and it
Remains alive for the passion never dies

Willie’s Corner

  Everywhere I go I just try to be me
I don’t think about clientele
As far as I’m concerned if they don’t
Like it they can all go to Hell

So even at fifty seven I wear my KISS
Shirts and Paul Stanley designer shoes
I sing KISS songs out loud like Black
Diamond and Nothin To Lose

I don’t care if I am going to Church or a
Restaurant with a rating of five stars
I am who I am, it ain’t gonna change even
When people stare at me as if I’m from Mars

I don’t try to be someone I’m not
Rarely do I wear a suit and a tie
Like when I have to go to a funeral home
Because someone I love happened to die

Most of the time I don’t  even notice
Them looking at me for I am immune
Because until the day I die, I will
Dance to my own rhythm and tune

But there are times when I feel a little
Out of place and resigned
When over the speakers I hear
You were always on my mind

And I must say it was strange
And I was feeling somewhat like a foreigner
At Texas Roadhouse and I Was surrounded by Cowboys and sitting in Willie’s Corner

We went to a Texas Roadhouse Restaurant
I was wearing a KISS shirt and my
KISS necklace and my KISS jacket
My Puma shoes designed by
Paul Stanley and there was some
People in there with Cowboy hats
And boots and the waitress took us
To a booth back in the corner with Willie
Nelson stuff all over both walls and a
Little sign said Willie’s corner.
We no sooner than we sat down and I
Hear Willie’s big hit song begin to play
You were always on my mind. Too funny!!!

Music Interlude

   The hustle of the day to day
Can leave us tired and drained
Working so hard just to pay the bills
With nothing really gained

The weekend comes I just want to relax
But I gotta run to the BMV
The salon and the dog groomer
With no time just for me

The Sun is shining and I just wanna
Be by the Ocean on a beach
With a drink in my hand but that’s just
A fantasy a dream out of my reach

Knowing now of my lover music
Her best quality un like life being so crude
I wish I could be more like my music and
Take a break a music interlude

There’s No Me In I

   I am different than all of you
But in reality we’re all the same
To the government we’re a number
But we all have our own name

I can take care of myself
But I can’t really take care of squat
I know this and that
But I don’t really know a lot

I can be happy with my accomplishments
And pat myself on the back
I can take the credit for it all but
There would be a falseness on the plaque

I did it without input or influence from
Anything or anyone you know that’s a lie
For I am nothing without God and you and All That surrounds me, no there’s no me in I

Writers Block

     Forget the pen, the crayon, the chalk
Throw the words in a wok
My brain is in a complete state of shock
I hear it whisper to me as if to mock

The words un flowing as if they’re in a loch
I try but it’s all just a bunch of schlock
From my wheels I forgot to remove the chock
Can’t even free myself from my frock

So badly as before I want to rock
Everything seems like seagull squawk
Un organized and separated from the flock
Nothing logical desperately needing Spock

Beginning to feel somewhat of a gawk
Thinking I should seek help from a Doc
Because the word inventory is of low stock
This is officially known as writers block

The Heart Of A Knight

   He’s a warrior, a gallant knight
He’s a fearless dragon slayer
He’s got no time for love, he hides
His heart under many a layer

He walks to his quarters alone
He see’s his life with certain clarity
And he hardens his heart
Knowing this is his destiny

Though at times he feels his King
Abuses his power with his dominion
He must honor his King and keep
His pledge to the people of the kingdom

She was of Cinderella beauty
Living her life in poverty
With only dreams of love
But also aware of her own destiny

One evening coming home from his
Routine patrol he saw her at the well
Instantly he knew his life had changed
For he had fallen under her spell

She too had felt something
That she thought she would never feel
The magic was in the air, something
So powerfully undeniably real

Cupid had saved them both
From their dark and doomed plight
With an arrow that pierced through the
Armor and the heart of a knight

Permanent Hurt

  When you find a love
How will you know it's real
If you're diving in head
First with so much zeal

You gotta take it slow,so
You don't land in the dirt
Your heart can't take that
Kind of a permanent hurt

Don't get caught in the
Trap that you set
Don't put your money down
On that sure bet

If you feel yourself falling
It's time for a red alert
Your heart can't take that
Kind of a permanent hurt

You spend your time working
On your sophisticated flirt
You got your high heels on
And your slit skirt

Your makeup is perfect and
You’re wearing that KISS T-Shirt
Your heart can’t take that
Kind of a permanent hurt

You need to protect yourself from yourself
You play with fire and you’ll get burned
You must remember your fragile heart
And all the lessons you’ve learned

The red lights are flashing
You need a quick divert
You’re just setting yourself up
For another permanent hurt

Edge Of Twenty One

   Standing on the edge of sixty
Looking at life still ahead of me
Looking back at what I left behind
Is almost impossible to see

Oh the stories I could tell
About so many crazy, crazy nights
But if I did, they’d probably arrest me
And throw away the key and my rights

Still cannot explain the morning I woke
Up from sleeping in the women’s room
To the sound of some girls screaming
Thought I was dead and sealed my tomb

One of those wild nights still in a haze
Escaping from the grips of the beast
My life hanging in the balance
Between living and being deceased

I don’t know how I ever survived
And those days are long, long gone
Sometimes though I still think about  
Standing on the edge of twenty one

Nature’s Song

    The wind whispers through the trees
Hear the ripple of the water as it flows
The bees are buzzing as they gather
Pollen and get some on their nose

Hear the dog bark in the meadow, chasing
Butterflies as they spread their wings
And outside of my window hear the
The morning song that the Robin sings

The sounds of nature are everywhere
Take the time to listen, don’t let them slip by
Pause yourself for a moment to smell
The rose and hear the baby cry

The Woodpecker pecking, the Owl hoots
And the Wolves howl
I’ve come to a sense of belonging
Even as the cats begin to scowl

It’s a continuous beautiful orchestra
And you can’t ever be wrong
If you just let yourself get lost
Into the vastness of nature’s song

I just started my book, please pray for me
As I reflect back on my hell and tell my triumph with the help of Jesus and to tell about where I am today, being blessed.
I will attempt to tell my story through short stories and my poetry. I will include most of the poetry that I have shared with all of you here at Hello Poetry.
I don’t know how long this part of my journey will take but my book title is
(Heart Felt Flight) I have just started and I am pausing to share this with you.
God Bless you all!!!
