And Skadi had her way much snow today
Imparted volunteer job hopes soar high.
Each Thor’s day , a shining star in a black sky
Orange in my throat and gob smacked, what to  say?
And never let the blighters beat you down
And the sawbones mention you cannot heal .
And show them I work with plenty of  zeal
I am cook too at the depot uptown.
The doctors state see you are strong ,
We think you are weak ,die in a care home.
My star is dimming do I fight or take flight?
My job like an void vessel I felt dead
This must be the rehabs typical syndrome
Hard to feud with sawbones reason-they’re right
My mood tastes like bad lime pulled down by dread.

Recurring dream I walk with a fake leg,
I go thru shifts in my head still in the sack,
I know it is a dream sad like darkened lake,
My flow as a lake in rehab no way back ,
What does this walking mean with a fake leg.?

Learning to play a guitar with five good strings ,
I have one leg while playing  what’s it mean ?
Wearing a purple suit I feel I got it made,
And tune high E makes the music so clean,
Walk into Resto Depot with some things,

The Angel oak boughs  lovely to behold
This horary tree so blest a grand tree.
Old  trees to behold are  the huge Redwoods,
Clear cutting woods they made me quite angry.
Lay me down to rest ;my soul feels not old
Those who **** ancient forests go to Hell.

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell,
Angraboda tree the Angel oak - behold    
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods,
The  red oak rusty brown bark a grand tree.
Cutting these trees down-I'm ****** angry,
And pols are vermin their plans way to old

Trees like a skyscraper th epic  redwoods
And hike thru these woods when I was not old
I sat at rest beneath a cedar tree.
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
Old growth forests a biome  please behold  
Lay waist to old growth woods I am angry,

Most of the old growth gone makes me angry
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods.
The hair of Jord visit it and behold
I walked thru the green when I was not old
The forest were bare of old trees,oh hell
Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree,  

What type of vibe could I get from that tree?
Logging roads in BC  grave ,I'm angry,
To lazy to help these pols belong in hell,
Love to muse beneath a  pair of Redwoods.
Protest clear cutting this method not old
Clear  cutting woods -a plain shock to behold..

Envoi:
I am wheelchair bound my protest days to old
Time to stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell,
An Angel oak tree I want to behold.

Decomposing footwear leather is done for,
Rotten leather: in an state of eternal rest.
Shoes passed beyond the earthly pale for sure,
Better before they were on Earth was the test.
Send these shoes off to the grave I  don’t  jest.

I have a bunch of plights please -answer Sir..
Your meeting with alien official .
Your reasons taking help from a sly race. ?
We needed   primacy over Russia .
I stated the friendly races can  help too.
We would  be at the mercy of Russia .
  I like your view on States-hood too.
And Ike said thank you Other remarks to add?
I said “ The way you taxed the rich was fab.
I said fab means. right  idea at right time.
And Ike replied fine. Anything else he asked.
I like your view on political parties.
And Ike said thank you  and anything else .
Your last speech on the military came true.
And Ike got ****** ,events are getting  worst.
And Isreal is now the new  **** nation.
And doing crimes of war for mankind to see.
I showed him  slides of what zionists  do !
We gave them rights. They act like  ****’s too.
And Ike replied. what else went straight to hell
I stated yes Isreal owns the States too.
I said it is true and Ike  complained quite loudly.
From J F Kennedy. until the present.
The States  will  jump  at Israel’s  complaining.
  Upon  relaying this news he got irate.
And two more things I have to mention Sir.
For thirty five years the rich pay no taxes.
And lastly the States went completely fascist.
And Ike  growled I fought  and died for nothing.
Those who despoiled this land are traitors.
And Ike left to take care of traitors too .

i lost my leg in April 8  yah know ,
my life ended that day ,so long ago ,
a waif is like the void .stark by 40,
like my half leg fate knocked me for a blow,
the knife bloodied like fate is my history.

I started the McGill pro Palestine storm,
Inveighing over Israel help I gripe.
Shani charged me of anti Semitism.
Protesting Israel genocide ,no hype  .
And butcher  ties to Israel  ,I warn.

Flak is a winter storm ,to Israel- I say,
We had twenty tents set up initially .
Amenities for all protestors too,
They increased to one hundred tents  surely .
The police  called to stop the event anyway.
