I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly combat.
Yes, my life is a life of combat; I can say that this has never stopped for a single instant. It is a combat that started for me at the age of 16. I'm 90 years old now, and my motivation hasn't changed; it's the same fervour that drives me.

Length Of Love
This could be destiny
Oh sweetheart
I've had no sense of time
Since we started
I got friends in need
Oh sweetheart
I've grown lengths and lengths and lengths of love
Since we started this thing out
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal
There is a bitter breed
Oh sweetheart
They will be watching you sometimes
With their bitter hearts
But we are through with these
Oh we're shifting the heartache
We want strong summer love, the most robust blood
Just to stay awake
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal
Combat salacious removal

To Combat
To combat I strive and find at close quarters
The opposition, who build a closet of anxiety.
Struggling and wincing, the combat is high,
A higher man shall concentrate and win.
The biggest one will fight for his own achievement,
The other one, a smaller achiever, graces the living of others.
A lettered man hides his own achievement,
With a reasoning mind, a rationale of exceptional strength.
To combat I live in a stupor, live in unhappy weather,
Just to let the rest be pitiful of me.

The Combat Soldier
Many accept the name of soldier,
Yet sit in the office, at the rear.
Whilst the real soldier, the combat soldier,
Fight the enemy, eye to eye.
Their uniforms dirty, faces weathered,
Hands rough, minds tethered.
They’ve seen death’s hand, reaching for them,
Their friend’s, death did condemn.
Their weapons are scratched, and used,
Long in the battle, they are abused.
These soldiers seek refuge, in the wire,
Where many spend the operation in its entire.
The combat soldier gets a short rest,
Only to go back out, confined by their vest.
For days they spend in a crosshair,
Terrorist seeking them, death they declare.
Combat soldier, many missions did you fulfill,
Many friends lost, forever still.
No esteem or awards will you receive,
Those with the rank, medals you will receive.
Though the combat soldier defends the post,
Their treated like the lowest, or a ghost.
The soldier and combat soldier, aren’t the same,
The only similarities are in the name.
Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.

Every country that has experimented with women in actual combat has abandoned the idea, and the notion that Israel uses women in combat is a feminist myth.

No Matter What The Weather Shows
I've got you.
You've got me.
And we've got...
Dreams.
I've got you.
You've got me.
And we've got...
Our dreams.
Together we can conquer,
With our dreams.
Together we can make it,
With our dreams.
Together life is better,
With our dreams.
And I've got you.
You know you've got me.
And together...
We've got those dreams.
Oh yes I've got you.
And you've got me.
And we both together will fulfill dreams.
Together we can conquer,
With our dreams.
Together we can make it,
With our dreams.
Together life is better,
With our dreams.
No matter what the weather,
We've got dreams.
Storm winds come blowing...
But no matter what the weather shows,
Together we'll combat it with our dreams.
Storm winds come blowing...
But no matter what the weather shows,
Together we'll combat it with our dreams.
Together we'll combat the storms,
With our dreams.
I've got you.
You've got me.
And we've got...
Dreams.
No matter what the weather shows,
Together we will always know...
Together we'll combat it with our dreams.
Together we'll combat it with our dreams.

A Child In Denial Is Easily Observed
The best way to combat ignorance,
Is to understand the definition.
To not comprehend it,
Ensures a lifetime of conflict.
And a child in denial is easily observed,
Defending what is thought not to be seen.
To become offended and argumentative.

Sonnet: No excuses, please!
Whatever I have suffered is not all;
May be, the tempter will come back with force;
Life’s upsets that I had are rather small;
May be, there are things that will be far worse.
But, every storm will usher periods lull;
The Sun will shine after the worst downpour!
Our life will not be always gloomy/dull;
With time, God opens everyone a door.
In life, we combat evils/ reverses;
And torments suffered will be things of past;
The poet knows not when comes good verses;
We never know to when be slow or fast.
Our earthly life is full of paradox;
The man who sees must know the Lamb from Fox!

Sonnet: Poetry’s Forever
Earth’s poetry can never die with ease,
As long as sun rises and sets each day;
For it affords music and mental peace,
And born are poets world-o’er in God’s way.
When Mother Nature inspires a heart,
Evoking feelings turned to words by art,
The readers feel the same right from the start;
The magic-beauty of poetry’s part.
And poetry is about many things,
And helps man live exemplary a life;
And immense joy and peace, it also brings,
And helps the human beings combat strife.
So, poetry will live on earth until,
Men climb the earthly-hill by Heaven’s Will!

Back Off
Respect our rotten life
Better not be hypnotised this time
You talk a heavy load
A mental overdose youre slime
Open up your mind
Welcome to the gates of nowhere
Freedoms not for sale
We are the right - cause we are the law
So back off - power in a minute
Back off - bastard hard and combat high
Back off - power is a winner
Back off - dont you cross this line
Were true and metalised
These crazy territorial nights
n red-hot burning roads
We are the predators of life
Bridge
So back off - gotta be a limit
Back off - bastard hard and combat high
Back off - power is a winner
Back off - dont you cross this line

Nomadic Tribes
The nomads of the east are upon us,
Life here is bleak, since armed combat is certainness.
The nomads of the east prefer clothing of beauty,
Happiest beauty prevails with battle, for it is duty.
The warriors of the west are us,
Working with brilliance and briskness.
Life shall remain like a powerful hair,
This hair hangs like an age to compare.
Entire bodies, robes of desire are contemplating
Why we are here, why are we here in conflict?
Too many wars are too many lives decapitating,
In fury, in debilitating state, always to object.

Aggressing Their Way Into Total Isolation
Aggressing their way into total isolation.
As demands for their way of life,
Burdens humanity.
And focuses all to the core of this strife.
With weapons used to end conflict...
Only resulting in the advancement of it.
And those who believe,
These antiquated methods...
Proves a superiority.
With a condoned authority!
Will see in such ignorance,
The beginnings of self hatred.
With an inner guilt that does not diminish.
When the 'spirits' of the heavens...
Releases upon them,
A taste of their own wickedness.
And it comes as a welcome.
With no enforcements,
Coming that can combat it.
Or other mortal 'rulers'...
Combining in like mindsets,
Defending them to dispense...
Upon them favoritism.
As all will witness this affect,
That humbles and corrects!

Achievement.
In life's exigencies men have been known
To pass themselves, and to attain to more
Than hope; as if in combat with the gods
The god in them secured supremacy.
