The internet has made it now
Bound to happen
Tomorrow or the year after.
Bound to happen.

Maybe.
Up to you.

The politicians and the preachers,
The two dogs of the capitalist class,
Will once again want a war,
Just as they always do.

War to them is a gift, you see,
It’s not personal, it’s not their blood.
But war makes some folks rich
And you will never change that,
You will never change that,
Though the dogs will bark it’s not so.

A war of aggression
Against some people somewhere,

Most likely brown,
Most likely poor,
Most likely weak,
Most likely no real threat.

War for the sake of the banks
And for the merchants of death.
War for the…

Become The Beast

There will come a time When the words won't come When your fingers cramp And your mind won't work Sit back and remember Why you write Become the beast Let yourself roar Your demons will flee And the words will come ~The Tennessee Poet~ ©Walt Page 2018 All Rights Reserved

Midnight Rider

I'm a midnight rider Out for one last ride Down that lonesome highway Just to see a smile on your face I'm such a long way from home They told me someday I would be a star But someday never comes I have dreams I can't remember I sing songs I can't forget Just rolling...

I’m A Song

A melody has formed Playing softly in my mind The notes have haunted me And now I realize I am a song I've always written poetry For the music in my head The music of my poetry Demanded to be read I hear a song In everything I see The sun, moon, earth and sea...

The Path

A heartwrenching poem of love lost too soon by my dear friend Linda Lyberg at Charmed Chaos.

Charmed Chaos

And when she arises from her watery grave,

in a smoky swirl above the calm frigid lake

she walks with him along a familiar trodden path,

feeling his heavy sadness and hot bitter wrath

for being forsaken.

A Gentle Breeze

His Heart

A lovely poem on love that never dies by Antony King.

Morning came this dreary day

As he struggled to arise

To some, this day would come and go

But today held no disguise.

Many years have come and gone

As days merge into one

The bitter taste… in forsaken prayer,

Still weigh with heavy tone.

With aging eyes, he takes to path

The same as years before…

Pausing briefly for a moment…

For some flowers she adores.

He walks in quiet solitude

No thoughts to cloud his mind

His journey is but, at an end

He makes the final climb.

Today his heart is full of joy

His life has been complete…

As he gently lays the flowers

Where his heart is laid in peace.
