The wall
The wall was built to keep them out.
Or was it built to keep us in?
Built so tall you can't climb over
And you can't go under it.
So long that you can't go round.
No doors at one end
But a gate to let you in or out.
You can touch the wall
But don't climb on it.
It's just a wall to me and you.

The American Wall
I came up on this great big wall.
Tall as two houses on top of each other.
So big you can't see over it.
I asked a man if he knew who built such a wall.
He said an american president.
For what reason I asked.
He said to keep illegal people from going on to taking job.
Food and homes.
He also said that it keeps out people that don't like america.
He said I came here the legal way and i love america.
But this wall is not going stop them.

The little boy and his flag
On the corner sat a little boy.
The American flag in his hand.
When asked why he was sitting there.
This is what he said," I watch on tv the other night
A man that said he wanted to make America great again.
He said he would make our country safe.
And Americans proud again.
He said this country was his and our flag shall fly high.
I sit here to show him I'm a red blooded American and proud of my flag.

In the Back Door Please
She would stand and yell in the back door please.
It was always the same no matter who it was.
The mailman the milkman she would tell.
In the back door please.
Children would run to the house.
But before they could make another step.
In the back door, she would request.
No one dared to come to the front
The hall light was always out.
The reason she would yell was yet to be heard.
But I would say she just clean the floor
And she would yell in the back door PLEASE!!

The old man
The old man he stood on the street corner in town.
Always had a smile for everyone.
He wore an old ragged coat and a pair of pants with holes.
It was nice day to him when you said "hello" to him.
A box was next to him on the corner.
You put ad dollars or so in the box
The old man would dance a jig for you.
Then tip his hat with a thank you.
Now on the corner where he stood is someone that can't dance a jig.
He can"t give a smile but the old box is still there.

A rose.
I know of a rose that is expected to be very pretty.
It shines in the morning sunlight like no other
It is always blossom at the right time of day.
Like a smile, when it wakes up.
It has no thorns it makes your day sad.
You can sit and watch it has the sun hits it
To bring out the prettiness.
it carries the site of joy within and brings the happiness of joy to you.
This rose is why every man who thinks his wife or girlfriend is a rose to them.

Snow football
I lived in western New York when I was a kid.
We want to play football most of the time.
So we started this thing called snow football.
On Jan 14th, we would get together for my birthday.
We would take a keg of beer to the football field.
Then the game would start. Snow to our knees
We would try to run.
The first team to get to the goal. Would get to drink beer first.
By the time it got dark. There was little snow on the ground. We would slide
Or get buried in the snow.
But the beer was cold and we enjoyed our game of snow football.

Wake up  America
Wake up America They took your land.
They took our bow and arrows first.
They said to stop us from killing them.
They took the tee *** which we called home.
They said no more buffalo to make our close and have some food.
The history is there to see.
As they take our guns today.
No protection for you or me.
They will take our home as they do.No job for us because they have them all.
No food,no schools. They even want our God.
Banning the for loving our country and pray to who ever they tell.
Now Wake up America before we are all gone.

The angels are near
The angels are nearer than you think
Hiding in the clouds waiting for your call
Just above the clouds looking down on us
Dressed in white to stay out of sight.
The angels are nearer than you think.
Could they be waiting for your call."Please take me to heaven I can't wait"
Believers ,look up the angels are there , take the courage to go with them
Look to the sky a smile will tell
I know you're with the angels that nearer than what you think.

But that's your line up for tomorrow's game.

They Are coming for our guns.
They are there for our guns.
Should we give them to those that seek.
Should we keep them to show our might.
One shot could provoke a war.
One shot could save our lives
They want our freedom
We say no god saves us.
Should we stand our grounds or should we give them to a traitor
They say it will stop gun crime. We say a bullet will do that.They are there for our guns.
Should we hand them to them or give them a bullet first.
Let's keep our rights.

The teddy bear dance
At night do you wonder what goes on after you go to sleep.
It is the dance of all dances.It's the teddy bear dance.
At the stroke of midnight. The bears line up to start the dance.
Big bears,little bears are marching to the beat of their music.
Bears with hats, bear with ribbons all in a line.
Around in the table and by the bed. You see them there.
The other toys watch so quiet. No movement from the trucks.
As your bears dance everywhere.
By the stroke of one of the bears they return. At the spot they stay at.
The night has ended and all is still.
Not a bear is moving you just think it's a dream.
As the night goes on the bears are ready for the next dance
As they dance the teddy bear dance.

My Footsteps
My footsteps may be a large or they maybe small.
I do not walk on water or do i walk on hot rocks
I do not walk in your footsteps I follow only in line with mine.
I do my best to keep my footsteps straight from other to follow
Because these footsteps are mine.
I follow only one person in his footsteps
As he takes me to heaven.
There I will follow him to the gates where he will let me walk with you.
My footstep are mine  i see no other but come walk with us
We keep no others out.

He is not from the movies
He isn't the hulk. He isn't batman.
He is not a superman nor is he rocky.
He isn't the ninja turtles.
He is not part of the movies.
He's my hero like no other can be.
You won't see him on the big screen.
I will follow him wherever he wants me to go.
He's my dad and he's my hero.
He may like the motives but as my hero none will do.

A sweet flower
There is a flower that is growing
It has no stem but will grow big.
The center of this flower has the eyes for you.
No petals to hole the beauty in
Nevertheless, is the prettiest you ever seen.
You may have one or there maybe more
However, the flower is always there.
You tell the flower that it is pretty
But you really are saying, daughter,I love you.
Because you're my sweet flower and no one has one like you.

There will be blood on his hands none in his heart.
A boy is shot. A girl is *****.
Where is the man in charge.
A school has a,shooting, people in a church gun down.
What is the man in charge of doing.
Young and old being killed for no reason at all.
There is blood on his hands because he has none in his heart.
Soldiers are dying all over the world.Even on our streets.
Who is in charge. He has blood on his hands and no blood or love in his heart.

A new year party to remember.
Tonight we had a party.We  welcome in 2016.
It was a great party of about 23000 people.
There was music. Dancing and singing.
Everyone had a good time.
A party to remember. Because we all got a long.
No fighting, no name calling.
One big family we were. Black, white, red and yellow.
All Americans bring in a different year.
I think you could of hear the count down around the world
From the Queen City, Charlotte, N.C.
A city of friendship not hate.
It was a New Year's Party to remember.

The Rabbit dance
I look out my window
There it is a snow white rabbit.
He runs to the left then to the right.
There are two..
They run to the right and back to the left.
Then there is three around they go two time then they stop
Then there is four.
  To the right than to the left around they go and then they stop.
This is the rabbit dance. It can be fun.
Watching those rabbits makes you want rabbit stew.

Winter flower
The little flower grew a little each day.
As I watched it out my window.
So Pretty as it stood there all alone.
Fall rain kept it alive as it feeds on the drops.
When the snow started to fall it was so tall it was a pretty sight.
A snow flakes, falling Oh, lightly covering it in a blanket of white.
The days traveled so fast as I watch it grow.
That as the spring sun hit it just right.
Pretty pink lite up the snow.
The wind blows just right and you see more of the winter flower.

The old church.
The old man stood so quite outside the church.
He stood there for a long time.
Then he walks a little closer.
He said to no one
Can't you hear the sweet music coming from inside.
They sing so loud and what a pretty song.
Now the preacher is given his best service.
The church had faded paint on it. The doors were old and ready to fall.
But the old man stood and smiled, as I said to him.
The old church is abandoned these days.
Then the old man laughed as loud as he could. Then said to me.
No church is abandoned as long as it has been blessed with God loving people.

Old Sam's last supper
The old jailer came around to Sam that night.
He asked Sam what he wanted for supper.
Old Sam said with a smile on his face.
Mash tarter piled sky high, gravy that runs down the side like
A river. Corn on the cobs with the corn being real yellow. Like as if the sun was shining on it.
A nice thick steak rare to see the blood I have spilled.
A thick pile of apple pie with whippers-in on top as if it had snowed.
The jailer said will do,
Sam said if he could eat his supper by the moon light it would be great.
After the meal old Sam said to the jailer. Let's get this necktie party started.
I want to go home to heaven before the morning sun.

A New Years dream
I went to bed after the ball dropped
To ring in the New year.
I lay there awhile then off I went.
Into a dream it Had to be done.
There I was in a place I only knew it had to be a dream.
Cars that fly. Trains that hung upside down.
People are wearing funny shoe.That lifts them off the ground.
It was a sight to see.
But I looked and then i woke up.
There was no police and or no crime.
A world where my neighbor was like family.
No name calling,no fighting at all.
It was a dream that maybe some New year it would come true.

The great New Years Party.
The Potato  chip are on the table
. The dip in the refuge. The beer in the cooler.
The guess will be there soon.
Football on the TV downstairs.
Hot Music on up stairs.
Everything is set. Until then.
The power gets knocked out.
Someone Hit a police car coming out of the driveway.
Ice is now water the beer is warm guests are coming
But just have to set in the dark. The grill out back is just a brazen
No football, we all get arrested for getting the dog drunk.
What a New Years party?
We will just have to start one next year a week before.

Clowns faces
The clown was sitting and putting his make up on
A white face,a big red nose Red lips.
A smile or frown, he continues being a clown.
Baggy close or a ragged hat.
A big cigar or happy balloon
***** up hair or a red wig.
He can dance a good gig.
There are many clowns big ones small ones
Some old and some young.
Some make you cry with joy
Others make you laugh.
Many faces of a clown come with some funny names like bozo, ronald mc donald.
But the king of clown was red himself. Could make you laugh all night long
At the end, he would say, god bless you and good night.

Christmas is all over.
Christmas is all over now
The children have their toys all broke.
The playstation blew up my tv.
The dog ate the rest of the ham  
I had saved for the muslim next door.
The lights on the tree are burned out.
We can't say it's a merry christmas.
Because obama banned it.
New years will be here soon
I ran out of home made gin
Boy I'm glad CHRISTMAS IS OVER!!

Santa's day in court.
Santa enter the courtroom:
The judge calls him to the front.
The judge says your name please.
Santa says you should know me by now bobby.
Judge says it says here you live at the north pole.
Santa says yes with mrs santa. And all 600 helpers.
Judge says you got caught Breaking in to a house.
Santa says that this is my job to bring toys to young kids as well as gifts to the older.
Well how do   you plea santa And santa replys
I have been doing this for hundreds of years. I don't like they way they do things now
But times have changed and I'm failing as one of the most beloved person at christmas time.
They don't say merry christmas any more. They don't take the time to stand in line to tell me what they want.
Judge says well how do you plea?  Santa your plea for me because only you, god and I know what Christmas is about.

Christmas wonders.
Here I sit on christmas morning listen to the scanner.
Very funny things are going on.
Santa is placed on the run.
A report comes over the scanner man seen in red outfit carrying a big bag.
Last saw near the old jailhouse.
With the temp.At 67o a sled wasn't spotted anyplace near.
Dispatch stated that other counties wanted him.
Two holes in a roof and a broken ladder is missing.
Now with this going on don't you wonder at Christmas time that Santa
Doesn't hire the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny to help break in at all these houses.

Rain
Rain drops fall so lightly that you can almost count each drop.
As they fall they form a puddle all gathering in one place.
The little ducks they came to play as they stand in the rain.
The rain it falls now harder that even the trees bend to try to get away.
The sound of a larger tap on the windows as they drop from the sky.
The sound of thunder in the far away land lets us know that a storm
May come soon.
Harder and harder the rainfall. Now the sound is like a drum.
Making music for the birds as they sat to bathe in the drops.
The water from the drops now from a little brook as the duck try to float
I look to see how highs the water but I doesn't need a boat yet.
So let it rain and fall so just maybe by the end of the day it will be snowing.

Angels in the snow
The children are out and about.
The snow has fallen so on the ground.
They start to make angels in the snow.
Some big some small next to each other.
They look as if they are holding hands.
Along train of angles they make
As the school ground white turns
To angel white. Angels are made by angels
Made on this day.
Only if we could bring peace on earth for them.

Footprints
The ground is all most covered in snow.
As you look you can see a rabbit running in the snow.
Leaving a trail of foot prints behind.
On the old school grounds a small deer looking for food.
Walking around leaving it prints all behind.
The snow begins to fall heavy covering the foot prints.
The child are now heading to school walk slowly making footprints.
The snow if falling and all is blanket now and the foot prints are gone.
What a snowy day to make footprints.

Christmas prayer
He kneels down on the ground and looked to the north.
A bright star he did see.
He walks aways and found another shepherd standing looking at the same star.
A third man then joined the other two.
And they walked. God stopped them and said,behold a king has been born on this night.
And they walked, they found the king in an old barn.
They kneeled before him and they prayed.
This is now a christmas prayer only we have many more to say.
So God behold i take your son and you in my heart
Let no man change this my lord for you are king of all.

Christmas Week.
Christmas week my dear, the shopping is done for everyone.
The days grow closer, just a few more weeks and football will be done.
Ham is about ready One more cold beer for the top and it will be ready.
4 more days and Santa will come.A bag full of toys just to please me.
I hope he is on a slim fast diet this year. I forgot to clear the chimney you see.
Cookies will be out for his milk will be there if the cow comes back.
A few more Hours left and things are going right.
I think I will go to bed right now.
Grandpa just yells in a loud voice."Where the HE--- is the Snow.Santa wouldn't be coming but in a Chevy.

He Sees you
I know the song for dear old santa.
But there is someone else that sees you.
He sees you when 're awake,he sees you when you're a sleep.
He sees you when you're in school, he sees you even in the swimming pool.
He sees you on sat he sees you the most on sunday.
He goes every place you go.
He also hears you. At night saying his name.
Santa might be good but God  has the greater power
To see you all the time.

Last Second shopping.
The stores are running out of things
People are still pushing to get the buys.
The hour is getting close to the stores will stop.
I got to hurry I do know got to buy for mom and pop.
Uncle joe wants a new saw aunt sue want some slim fast.
The store shut the back lights off got to run now faster then

I am mad as he__ and i say to my self next year I buy gift cards.

Sitting On The Mountain top
I climb a mountain slowly.
Trees below look like tall sticks in the ground.
I get near the top and can't see anything below.
So I look up and start to goto the top.
I climb a little more and just below I see a small cloud.
Just little ways to go my head is spinning .
To the top I'm a step away. Grass on top looks just as green.
Now I'm at the top looking up. I do do not see anything but blue sky.
No angles no god .Ask myself where did they go.
I'm sitting on this mountain top and I'm alone.

Santa's gift
Santa was at the store the other day.
When he came out, he saw a little boy.
The little boy was crying.
Santa right away saw the little boy was dressed in rags.
Santa asks the little boy what was wrong.
The boy said in these words.
I'm not having Christmas this year.
For my father has no job and we are going to move.
My mother has cancer and hard time with it is catching up to her.
My sister is little,happy child and I feel sorry for her because I have no gift.
I wrote to Santa asking him to bring a doll. I want nothing but happiness for her.
This brought tears to Santa's eyes. He told the boy to wait right there.
He went to the store and bought the little girl her doll and the boy in the truck he had asked for in his letter.
Santa went outside and handed the gift to the little boy and said in a deep but sad voice MERRY CHRISTMAS
And walked away.
The little boy look at him and smiled he knew it was santa.
For only Santa and him knew the story .

Mrs.Day Flowers
The table looked no better than when mrs day puts flowers on it.
Each flower shined in the sun light.
Red,blue white and, pink made the light glow.
Every day a bright look of flowers.
Now that Mrs Day has gone the table looks so dim.
No flowers there. Someone takes them to her grave>
Now they glow in the sun light just below her name.
Giving her a smile as each one glows.
Her angels wear a flower in their hair.
Setting the light so bright In her place in heaven.
Mrs Day's flowers are sure missed, but they grow with her love even up above.

A talk with God
I had a talk with God the other day.
He asked me so many questions I answer the best i could.
He asks,why is there so much hate in my world.
I told him, Because man cannot live with each out.
He asked, why do they have to ****.
I said it's because of the hate and thinking one is better than the other.
He asked Why does man and women,steal,lie and cheat on each other.
I told him I have no answer for this.
For if I did The would Say I was better than God.
And I really don't have the answer for that.

How does santa get down those chimney
Have you wonder how santa gets down those chimneys.
With those chimney being small how does get though them all
Does he fit down them well or does he have to turn small.
Is he really magic and turn thin?
How does he get into the houses that have no chimney?
Does he come through a door or makes a magic hole in the wall?
Does he use the front door or does he go through the back.
With him being so fat and having a big sack how does he get down that chimney
Nobody knows but him.

The night santa almost got busted.
I often wondered about that night in 1954.
When santa almost got busted.
The tale goes that santa was wanted for 250 million breaking and entering charges.
But they could not catch him in the act.
The town was slight that Christmas eve.
When the police were eating their nightly doughnuts.
Then out on the streets they did see ..
Santa was drag racing a ford pickup.
When all of a sudden here comes supper trooper in his hopped up chevy.
He caught the ford and santa too.
He was going to lock him up.When out of his bag
Came the biggest pizza pie you ever seen.
But as santa drove out of sight.You could hear him say Merry Christmas and please call my lawyer.

Who's knocking at my door?
I hear someone at the door.
But when I go I do not see one there.
The sound comes there once more.
Still no one there.
The door bell does not go off.
A knock I do hear.
I watch out the window once more.
And there to my surprise.
Was the old rocker hitting the shutter and the old cat rocking away.

***** Minds
Your waiting to go on stage .
You get this funny feeling deep inside.
You pull your zipper open.
You take it out.
You play with it second.
Ok forget the ***** minds.
You open the paper and read this poem.

Return of Christmas past
I love Christmas as a holiday
I like the houses all in lights as they glow.
I like the white snow as it falls on the trees.
I like when people say "Merry Christmas" with a smile.
I like making cookies for old Santa
I love the thought of all the gifts that are under the tree.
I love the sound of people singing those old Christmas songs.
I love Christmas. When is it going to return from the past?

Who are those funny poets?
Who are those funny poets I want to know?
Are they the one that makes you laugh so hard you have to ***?
Are they the one that makes you jump?But not over the moon!
Is it a poem about the East Bunny and how he is broke.
Or a silly poem on how not to pull a cow's tail to get milk.
Who are these funny poets I want to know.
Could it be me?

Star people
When I look at the sky at night
I wonder if the stars of people we have lost
I wonder if they are looking down on us from heaven above.
Are they watching us at night?
As they shine so bright.
With star to the north that shine the brightest of all
It tells me that the good lord is watching so close to me.
Star people they watch each night and they so bright.
But you can't pick just one. For the heaven is full of star people from above..

The walk
I walk these streets all alone.
No one knows who I am.
They don't say a word to me.
I do the same to the.
I watch as they all do sins
For what I die for.
I walk and listen to their troubles.
And think of a way I might help.
Gun, ***** and *** they do.
But I say no words and keep on walking.
No one to keep my hand.
No none to share my troubles
For I care for their troubles on my back.
As I walk these streets.

On a garbage dump , hanging on a Roman cross, his miserable life coming quickly to a painful end , no hope ! No hope ! And then he hears the voice of the only hope the world has - Jesus ,saying " today you will be with me in paradise !"
Never give up hope ! Call out to the Lord of Lords in the midst of your pain , your sorrow , your desire to throw in the towel and He will hear your voice and come to comfort , and to assure you that hope has a name - Jesus

What are your dreams
What are your dreams I want to hear.
Are they funny or about money?
Can they be scarey or are the a little hairy?
Do you dream of a car that will take you far?
Do you dream of a girl with those pearls on?
What do you dream of?
How about a dream of how to milk a cow.
If it's funny and not about money how about the Easter bunny.
Is it about someone you care for or a big old bear?
What make you dream of, no one knows but you.

A midnight walk
The clock hits ten I know.
A walk I begin to plain.
Down the road I will go.
To the town hall I will see.
The clock will strike eleven
When I get there.
Just a small walk I do think.
I might see a sunk that stinks
To the town park I will go.
Midnight thru the park with a square it might be
A plot of dead bodies at the one gate I will see.
All kinds of noises coming within the dark.
A crow i hear do cry what a surprise that passes me by
Now it's one and think I shall return to my bed.
And forget that midnight walks.

Night pain
In the night i get such pain
I don't know where it comes from/
But it hurts so much
Down my back and into my legs it goes.
My toes begin to feel it to
I can hardly walk.
Where does it come from I want to know.
My body just can not take it any more.
I think I need a new bed.
