Because “Harm” (cool nickname) and “Mac” (again!)
Being both in the Navy and also at the same time
Lawyers
Are doubly entitled to be officious, full of **** and themselves
******
Yet really are
in spite of this entitlement
two of the most lovable Lawyers no, Characters no, people no, beings no, spirits
in the history of
shows at 9pm no, prime time television no, television no, theater no, performance arts no, arts no, art no, human experience
wait
I think I went maybe 1 too far
Plus
That short fat chubby guy whose name I can't at this point remember (he's sadly funny)
Plus
The Admiral
who always seems to be
at a minimum
mildly ****** off
at all times
reminding us
that while “Harm” and “Mac”
are off at home
near the end of the show
enjoying their lives
The Admiral will be, (usually) unshown, in the wee hours
in his office, pushing the paper
that makes the World go Round

Someone quick, please come with me
The admiral’s been shot
The bandage did not stop the blood
That’s pouring out his gut.
I’ve tried two times, to sedate him
With whisky and some ***
Yet no liquor nor a sailor’s tune
Showed any pain it numbed.
The rocking of the trashing waves
Has sent him into fits
Of pain, of tears, of screaming howls
Despite the teeth he grits
Where’s the surgeon, where’s the first mate?
We haven’t time to waste
I fear for what is to come
If too long we wait.
Is there no sailor on this ship
With a free hand to help?
Why is it just I who comes to aide
To the Admiral’s pained yelp?
And why with hate you hold your eyes
When I beseech for you?
Why point that gun at me, my friend?
A member of your crew?
Don’t tell me, friend, you fired the gun,
That your scrutiny,
That the deed which you had done
Was an act of mutiny
I do no-

Don't listen to prejudice,
Make your own path,
A person's life doesn't belong to others,
Hasty decisions destroys friendships.
Movement forward is most important.
Be thankful for your life and good friends,
Like ocean waves and beaches,
A day full of parties and fun. A
Mountain is meant to climb.
Move forward and
Silently. Do not listen to prejudice,
And also listen to your heart,
Cautiously, Always look to the future...
...
The secret revealed.
”Don't make a hasty movement. Be like a mountain. Move silently and cautiously.”

To the people who’ve taunted me.
I’ll to tell you this:
I’m not perfect, I know.
This is the sad part.
I don’t have the fairest skin,
Or a thigh gap and blue eyes.
I can’t do dance nor gymnastics.
Basically, I don’t have a lot to show.
And I know all these, I do!
But you keep throwing out constant reminders
To me… teasing this.
When will I ever take a break?
From all these expectations,
These insults and limitations.
Telling me I am not worth it.
Telling me I cannot make it.
I now believe you
That’s saddest part.
I believe you.
Oh I believe you so much it hurts even the people around me.
The “truth” you knew
Has become mine as well.
And I am just done, done with all this.
I am giving up.
Are you happy?
Are you happy,
My dear bullies?
Is that what you wanted to hear?
I cry every single day,
Thinking of the things I don’t have.
And all because of you.
But then, suddenly, something inside of me steers,
Right on my chest,
Like an awakening, oh so clear
Of some kind of hope or bravery…
I come to a conclusion that
A perfect me is preposterous!
‘Cause I wouldn’t be me if I was perfect.
No one can tell me who or what I am.
No one knows where I’ve been,
Who I’ve met,
And what I’ve been through
Better than myself.
I feel reborn! I feel in-charge!
I am an admiral
That yells, “Stand down soldier!”
‘Cause your mission will fail!
To make me feel useless and broken.
To make me feel worthless and weak.
And for what? To make yourself feel
As if you’re more than me?
I know! I know I’m not perfect.
And this is the great part.
I love who I am,
Together with all the little flaws that come with me.
I don’t have the fairest skin,
Or a thigh gap and blue eyes.
I can’t do dance nor gymnastics.
But this is who I am.
I am an admiral, tall and strong.
So, stand down soldier!
You’re gonna lose this fight
‘Cause I’m taking flight.
