To My Grandchildren Here, is your world, my dear loved children. For better, or worse, in sickness, or in health. * This sounds like an old-fashioned wedding vow. It is. We're married to this earth. Let's not consider divorce. Let's consider life, to it's fullest. * * * jrm 26 Aug 2019 |

Poignancy Perhaps, life's impressions can be summed up in one word, poignancy. It's beauty resides in its scope, sadness, despair, anger, elation, love. A poignant life, also, needs to be shared. How? Listen to its music. * * * jrm 7 Sept. 2019 |

No More Crying I hear the children crying Through the stream of life, Fighting their ways Through the breaches of life. Oh I hear the children crying Through my head. Silent is the way of life And I roll on through. Oh I hear the children crying Through the stream of life, Not fighting, but finding Their ways through the silence of life. Yes, breathing is the way of life, No matter what your heart says. No more crying for our children, No more crying for you and me. Unification has set us free.

Now Freedom! You leave me here In the cold. Now, what am I supposed to do? I smoke away my freedom In the damaged air we're breathing. Now fight! Now fear! Now freedom, is oh so near. New energy, No false.. No-ones on the fright.. You leave me here in the cold, Now what the' f**k am I supposed to do? I see freak shows In the damage of the night. Now fight! Now fear! Now freedom is oh so near. DJ'19 *track 15 on hope of the sands* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA1-Jjv22P8 rOZZ Music Pictures |

Ref. Minuteman Statue, Lexington, MA Standing Guard Standing guard, to warn the world. This time, a musket to be fired. Alarm to make; a flag unfurled. New steps to take, by nations, tired. United Nations, by decree, Given new authority. Modified prosperity. Sacrifice, from sea to sea. Global warming's primacy. Other thoughts now fallacy. * * * j.r.m. 14 Sept. 2019 |

In Your Heart It is Sirius in your heart, Formalhaut runned through the blood (before you became Jesus Christ) Vega keeps the victory Instead of the wealth. The sun shines down on the children And keeps them alive, Together with their happiness, They share it with small Proxima. I share the light with our Lord, In the smallness of my existence, The smallest leaf in the tree of life. The tree has to bloom With a thousand leaves, Who are us, in the smallness Of our existence. It is God in your smile, As Rigel walks for a while On the borders of our Multiverse. He shares small stories From outer space In the brain of everyone Who wants to listen. Betelgeuze has changed form In the dimension we're living in. Nuclear Fusion always comes in handy. DJ'19 *track 16 on hope of the sands* rOZZ Music Pictures |

Steady Going Rock the beat, Rock the rolling, Steady going, To the flight That is here tonight. Without my ride, The rocking won't roll. With my moonshine That is mine mine mine. The flight will be rolling, Steady going.. Rocking the beat Rocking the rolling With my ride By my side. Rolling the rock Steady going. I am here tonight, My ride by my side, Rocking the roll, Rocking the beat, Steady going.. Steady going..

Lengthening Shadows Lengthening shadows, under leaves which won't fall -- right away. But, they change color, which gives them away. A White Oak, aging, yet, another year -- As do we all, year by precious year. * * * jrm 2 Oct. 2019 |

Carry The Burden Of Love To carry the burden of love, Is to hold on to yourselves. Hold on to your children, Hold on to your future, Hold on th the pen, Writing these words. To carry the burden of love, Is to carry yourselves. Hold on to the Lord, Hold on to certainty. A seal on your lips Tells nothing more. The tongue-in-cheek Will tell you nothing more. To carry the burden of love, Is to feel the gravity On your head and in your bones. Hold on to your elders, Hold on to the past, Feeling the future in your hands.

Nothing Is Hopeless Nothing is hopeless, baby. Just stick with me, And we'll show you to be free. We'll show you the waves of the sea, Telling stories between you and me. Nothing is hopeless, sugar. Just stick with me And I'll show you The sight of the sea. Between skies and sands, And mothers and dads. Nothing is hopeless, diamond, In the sky, In the sand, In the remaining dust of the soil..

Time Oh when will you ever learn That striving only kills yourself. The light doesn't withold the darkness. Ooh time .. Yees, time.. Lead your own life. Time.. Manage the burst, We've gotta manage the burst, Striving only kills yourself. The light doesn't withold the darkness. Yeees time.. Oooh time.. Witholds the darkness, Leads its own life, Manages the burst. Ooh time.. Yees time.. DJ'19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Qu4FGic4g rOZZ Music Pictures |

On Halloween Eve On Halloween Eve, we'd trade in old sheets, for new. And, wrap up our children, to beg for candy. No rhythm or rhyme, does this poem have. It's serious business, begging from your neighbors. Have you ever begged for food? Plenty of men did, during the Great Depression. The expressions on their faces, defined mental anguish and defeat. All the women on our block had a kettle on the stove, with soup, for the hungry -- and, they were always hungry. And, they didn't wait for Halloween, to beg, either. They, also, wanted to work for their soup. Not longer, afterwards, they found work -- and, three square meals a day -- as draftees, in WWII. * Perhaps, times have changed -- and, Halloweens are happier. * * * jrm 30 Oct. 2019 |

Your Fly-Over President I do not care what you might think. Election-time will prove me right. This show is mine, though ship might sink. For twenty-twenty, I can fight. My sights are set, beyond next four. Support, I have, to forge ahead. My opposition, shown the door. My word is law; to cross me, dread. America is great, again! And, jobs will spring, like weeds in Spring. And, only voting done by men! Only Christian values, sing! Scientists, we'll show the door -- Unless, for oil and coal, explore. * * * jrm 18 Dec. 2019 |

A Holy Hallelujah There's only a Holy Hallelujah, Waiting for us. Everywhere we look, Is a Holy Hallelujah, The beholder of truth. There's only the Holy Hallelujah, In the silence that is no more. We find the silence Of the Holy Hallelujah In the silence That has to be. We see a Holy Hallelujah Of what has to be. You and me, The Holy Hallelujah.

The God Of All Worlds God of all worlds, Is a soldier. Respect to all, He says. Humble your heart to the Almighty Soul Of All, He says, Our God of all worlds. He is small, Our God of all worlds, But He is righteous, As the Mighty Soul Of All. There He is, the God of all worlds, Comforting our souls, Comforting the All.
