The Fringe

     Throughout history it’s been so evident
And we can see it today as well
This is the ultimate proof of the fire
Raging in the depths of Hell

It’s racism in its pure form
Just in case you didn’t have a clue
It’s a lunatic vision it’s a dangerous
Movement with a dangerous view

It’s ****** and his attempt to annihilate
The race known as the Jew
It’s the English and what they did to
The Native American Indian too

It’s what the White have done to the Black
And what Japan tried to do to America
It’s an evil in all of us and it presents itself
Everywhere and it’s also Media hysteria

America as we are seeing signs of becoming
Third world like as they want us to cringe
Please open your eyes so you can see
We must be aware of the fringe

I Couldn’t Stop The Tears

   Well it’s no secret, I love KISS
But that’s not all of me
There’s so much more that I love
So I wanna make my decree

I grew up in the seventies
It was the decade of the best
From my metal to easy listening and
Country and folk they all past the test

Yes I absolutely love my KISS and
Alice Cooper, Poison and AC/DC
My Nazareth and Stryper and DOKKEN
And Rush, good stuff I hope you agree

But there’s so much more music
I have in my heart and my head
Like Jim Croce, James Taylor, Dr Hook
Bob Seger  and America and Bread

I cannot forget to mention the
Beach boys and Beatles and Elvis too
And some country George Straight and
George Jones could leave ya blue

And last night I watched I’ll be me
Glen Campbell’s finale tour
A documentary about his struggle with
Alzheimer’s and the tears did pour

And now the lyrics are haunting me
I can still hear them whine
I’m the Wichita Lineman
And I’m still on the line

For the memories of it all came flooding
Back and reminded of those years
And yes I will admit I was just a big baby
For I couldn’t stop the tears

In The Mist Of Darkness

    In the mist of darkness
I will continue to shine
For I have the love of Jesus
In this heart of mine

In the mist of darkness
When the world is falling apart
Just like Atlas I will stand strong
With nothing but love in my heart

In the mist of darkness
If I get knocked down
I’ll get back up again and
Firmly place my feet upon the ground

In the mist of darkness
One thing will always be true
Just like Jesus, if you reach for me
I’ll be there for you

In the mist of darkness
When the tears fill your eyes
I’ll be steadfast with the truth
In a world filled with lies

There’s no mythical Unicorn or Pegasus
But like the hundred eyes of Argus
Evil will surround us, especially
In the mist of darkness

It Only Takes One
Re written

  Just food for thought
Something I’ve been thinkin
Something we all need to comprehend
And let it all sink in

You know how it is on a rainy day and
The rule is we should have our lights on
But you know some won’t
Yes there’s always one

The snow has been falling for hours
Over night so you scrape your car clean
And there’s the lazy one just wiped a spot
On the drivers side you know what I mean

Like you have a dog and you walk it
And you always pick up the poo
But there are those people out there
That refuse the respectful thing to do

Like when you go to a Gas Station and
Find litter that’s been dumped from a car
Yet there’s the trash can not three feet
Away but that’s how people are

These, the same people that protest about
Bad drinking water and our environment
I don’t like being the man of darkness and
Doom but there’s a need for enlightenment

So now there’s this virus we all know
The all powerful COVID—Nineteen
Shutting down a nation and people dying
But some people aren’t so keen

There’s the ones who just don’t care
And some just can’t understand
So what’s the big picture for the
Rest of us here in the heartland

I fear this is something that will continue
And that it will never be gone
Because the world is filled
With the stupid and it only takes one

My Email Response
  
   My Uncle sent an Email
Stating he was doing well
Trying to stay safe and calm
Staying home, the irony him being a survivor Of Vietnam
So light heartedly but but seriously too
The following is my response I’ll share with you

Glad to know that you are still among the livin
And o biding by the rules you were given
Meanwhile I’m on the front line, the lucky one
In the game of Chess the sacrificial pawn
A lowlife wheelchair van driver
Donning PPE striving to be a survivor
As the sights are straight from the movie screen
Living in a live apocalyptic disaster scene
Arriving at a make shift care facility
Where the fiction becomes the reality
Watching as people decontaminate each other
And my PT’S panic in one form or another
With the Police waiting in force
Just in case something goes off course
We were bright and early eight AM today
Lined up in a convoy and on our way
Moving PT’S to an abandoned hotel
A place just the fire removed, just short of Hell
With no words for we had no supplement
A sight we could not record or document
We decontaminated our trucks in the rear
We removed all of our protective gear
And we repeated this throughout the day
But I took a moment to bow and pray
For I now have visions I will forever keep
Hopefully I will manage to get some sleep
And tomorrow I hope for something new
But fear the same will be what holds true
So now I must rest my head
And cover myself in my bed
The alarm will sound all too soon I know
And again out of my door I will go
So say a prayer and wish me luck
Signing off now, love, your nephew Chuck
So please don’t be one of nonchalance
And I hope you liked my Email response

Enchanted

   Enchanted is a word associated
In books and movies of fairytales
A vision of the love Angel Cupid
Through the heart his arrow empales

Twinkling starlight and love everlasting
In a land of wonder and fireflies
Of blue skies and rivers of honey
And a land of flowers and butterflies

The world of reality is far removed
From the world of our dreams
And all we can really hope for is a life
Somewhere in between the two extremes

Thirty seven years ago I laid my eyes
Upon her and my heart was brought to life
I told my friend that she was the one
That I would have for my wife

It was truly love at first sight, we had a date
It was a year and a day later we said I do
And suddenly I was living in a fairytale
And a life so wonderful and new

Today is our thirty sixth anniversary
So maybe Cupid’s arrow was implanted
Just maybe the fairytale does exist
For my reality is enchanted
