I've met enough KGB colonels in my life.

I have some strategical vision, I could calculate some few moves ahead and I have an intellect that is badly missed in the country which is run by generals and colonels.

I found out that colonels can stay until they drop dead or get a walker and being a critical medical specialty as an Army trained emergency room doctor, I could stay until age 67.

Books that have become classics - books that have had their day and now get more praise than perusal - always remind me of retired colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay.

Forbearance

Disregard his forbearance for this is a young female,
The majority belonged to the teaching community;
My colonels accepted the suppositions so differing,
My bigotry half-bred, I pursued eagerly the flight.

The war eventually craved for more hostility,
Lead and iron spread their boundaries forever;
An ordinary glance generally disagreed
For the military was the military when in doubt.

The education spent its kinghood when alive,
A cold shoulder was this rejected thought
From the living and eternal, the one who proudly
Condemned the answers to the questions of war.

History tells

The differences amongst nations
in culture, habit and language.
This is God’s creations
to punish we antagonistic humans.

The consequences if we are egocentric,
with rifles shooting, and atoms finally bombing.
Children whining for dad and women panic,
and men with wounds thinking of home.

The merciless slaughter of bows and arrows,
pistols and guns, grenades and missiles.
“Victory” alleged the colonels,
whilst innocences wailing and dying.

Peace, leaders seemingly strive to maintain.
Militaristic they are, no one deny.
Tough lessons for innocences again.
Battles and wars not refrained.

History does tell…
History does tell…
Yes, I was told…
And I was told history always repeats itself.

The Goodbye Look

The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On this quiet island in the bay
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at night
Now the americans are gone exept for two
The embassys been hard to reach
Theres been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big casino on the beach
The rules are changed
Its not the same
Its all new players in a whole new ball game
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
Ive had this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darling theyre knocking the colonels standing in the sun
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
Wont you pour me a cuban breeze gretchen
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skinny man with two-one shoes
Cause tonight theyre arranging a small reception just for me
Behind the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look

Drinking With Márquez

Gabriel was sitting on my left,
a gray archangel fashioning a tired moustache
under his alcohol-crying eyes;
a kind patriarch in his solitude.

We spoke in Spanish,
we joked in Italian,
we argued in English,
and we thought in Whiskish.

And one hundred years of riddles passed in a night.
Riddles of love and illness,
cholera and la violencia,
under the irony of Fidel’s shadow,
the censorship of the cohiba ashes,
and the curfew of Pope’s colonels.

But when he asked me:
“¿Porque estás aqui? ”
I became a little child baptised in mud,
running barefoot through the alleys of Macondo,
carefree yet in fear of the evil in my hours...

... Gabriel had always been sitting on my left;
in a storm of thoughts we scribbled our pledge
to the chronicles of our heart
that foresaw our fate,
forgave our past,
and foretold the adventures of our minds.

Recurring History

.The differences amongst nations
in culture, habit and language.
the difference between leader..
This is God’s creations
to punish we antagonistic humans.

The consequences if we are egocentric,
with rifles shooting, stoones throwing and atoms finally bombing.
Children whining for dad and women panic,
and men with wounds thinking of home...if not their beloved tribes

The merciless slaughter of bows and arrows,
pistols and guns, grenades and missiles.
“Victory” alleged the colonels,
was the election stollen? they think!
whilst innocences wailing and dying.

Peace, and power at the same time
leaders seemingly strive to maintain.
Militaristic they are, no one deny.
Tough lessons for innocences again.
Battles and wars not refrained.

History does tell…World History does tell…
Yes, I was told…Baba said..'nyathina'..baby boy
And I was told history always repeats itself.

A short poem on life

Life is a gift
life can be cruel
life can be kind
life can be hard
life can be tough.
life is mysterious
life is strange
life is complex
life is weird.
life has twists
life has turns
life has ups
life has downs.
life for good
life for bad
life for war
life for peace.
life and love
life and hate
life and growth
life and death.

Some Men

Lyrics & music: daryl hall
Some men call half way around the world if theyve got a phone game to play
Then again some men call their mom every day
Old boys drink bad beer and throw the cans out in the street
Playboys sit and sip red wine, some drink malt whiskey neat
So if you can, you talk about some men
If you can, you can talk about some men
Baby if you can, you can talk about some men
If you can, you can talk about some men
Colonels collect animal heads and hang their guns up on the wall
Corn balls watch television then pull a gun out in the hall
Crew-cut rainbows hang on streets hoping theyll find a friend
Odd balls running fast enough hope that they wont find their end
So if you can, you can talk about some men
Baby if you can, you can talk about some men
Sleep all night work all day
Work all night sleep all day
Drink all night sick all day
Sick all night drink all day
Dream all night if you can
We aint soldiers so dont generalize
No categories because it takes all kinds
You can sleep all night you can work all day
You can trip all night peak all day
If you can, you can talk about some men

A Drink

With glass, I am a man – or so I think! –
A role to play when blessed with courtly drink:
A gin or two, then vintage port or wine
To pep me up and gift me with a shine.

I know it’s false, as I now must depend
Upon my daily shots with open end.
Insidious, it all becomes routine
To beg a drink each day for self-esteem.

The Edge Of Darkness

Ive looked into the heart of darkness
Where the blood-red journey ends
When youve faced the heart of darkness
Even you soul begins to bend
For a week I have been waiting
Still I am only in saigon
The walls move in a little closer
I feel the jungle call me on
Every minute I get weaker
While in the jungle they grow strong
What I wanted was a mission
And for my sins they gave me one
They brought it up just like room service
cause everyone gets what they want
And when that mission was all over
Id never want another one
I know captain
That youve done this work before
Weve got a problem
You can help us I am sure
The colonels gone rogue
And his methods are unsound
Youll take a pbr up river track him down
Theres a conflict in every human heart
And the temptation is to take it all to far
In this war things get so confused
But there are some things that cannot be excused
Hes acting like God - an insane lunatic
Your mission - exterminate
With extreme prejudice
The route is dangerous
And your progress may be slow
Heres the file and its all you need to know
Here I am the knife in my hand
And now I understand why the genius must die
Now I stand alone in the darkness
With his blood upon my hands
Where sat the warrior the poet
Now lie the fragments of a man
Ive looked into the heart of darkness
Where the blood-red journey ends
When youve faced the heart of darkness
Even you soul begins to bend

She and Drugs

Freshly spawned,
Brain dumps
Bleeding grey:

Reflections of a mind
That wavers thin
Along the line
That savours pain -

A pond of skin
Devoid of breast -
The pad a feign:
The nothing
Underneath your bra
At best
Is your imagination

Spread across a narcoleptic world
Suchlike survival
In and out
Of haunted woods;
In and out -
You're in and out
As blood transfused -
Pumping on
To ooze at pace
Upon another haemorrhage

And there! a goblin
Here! a goblin
Care to entertain a goblin
In the lair
That is a mind
Of drugs? -

We know it's you -
It's you we know.

We know you're through.

Slow Ride

They got a committee to get me off the block
cause I say my rhymes loud and I say em nonstop
Because being bad news is what were all about
We went to white castle and we got thrown out
I got my boy mike d. - I got the king adrock I got the jammy with the ammo inside my sock
I shot homeboy but the bullet was a dud
So I reached in the miller cooler - grabbed a cool bud
Slow riding, gun hidin on the go
Im fly like an eagle and I drink old crow
Im the king of the classroom - coolin in the back
My teacher had beef so I gave her a smack
She chased me out of class 0 she was strapped with a ruler
Went to the bathroom - rolled myself a wooler
With bottle in hand at the microphone stand
A. yo homeboy - what you drinkin man
I got money - I got juice
I got to the party and I got loose
I got rhythm - I got rhymes
I got the girlies with the def behinds
I got ill - I got busted
I got dust and I got dusted
I got gold - I got funky
I got the new dance - they call the brass monkey
Because Im hard hittin - always biten - cool as hell
I got trees on my mirror so my car wont smell
Sittin around the house - gettin high and watchin tube
Eating colonels chicken - drinkin heineken brew
Im a gangster, Im a prankster - Im the king of the ave.
Im hated, confrontated for the juice that I have
All the fly ladies are making a fuss
But I cant pay attention - cause Im on that dust

Life Is A Dance For You To Dance To

Life is every where
Life
Life is a challenge
Life is a gift
Life is a chance
Life is a tragedy
Life is lonely
Life is pain
Life is full of frustration
Life is a mystery
Life is love
Life is made of hurt
Life is not a bed of roses
Life is a dance for you to dance
Life is every state of mind
What is life?
Life is a puzzle, solve it
Life is full of unexpected
Life is unexplainable
Life.

A life without a life...

It’s a life with commitment
It’s a life without complement
It’s a life with compromise
It’s a life without appraise
It’s a life with emotion
It’s a life without inspiration
It’s a life with amuse
It’s a life without refuse
It’s a life with tear & grin
It’s a life without dream
It’s a life with touch
It’s a life without trust
It’s a life with pain
It’s a life without importance
It’s a life with a relation
It’s a life without love and affection
Is it a life or only Compromise?

The Life of One

The life of one is good
The life of one is bad
The life of one is glad
The life of one is sad
The life of one smiles
The life of one cries
The life of one see's the brightness of the sun
The life of one see's the dust rolling of there shoes
The life of one see's the beutifull of the night sky
The life of one see's the horror of darkness in the night
The life of one see's the beutifull in people
The life of one see's the ugly in people
The life of one is happy
The life of one is lost
The life of one is in attention
The life of one doesnt give a shit
The life of one cares for others
The life of one acts like he/she dont know you
The life of one see's the birds singing threw out the day
The life of one see's the shallows of the underworld
The life of one see's the wolrds happenings
The life of one see's the nothing at all
The life of one see's the person in you
The life of one see's the flow of nothing
The life is just life

You are the song of my life

You are the song of my life
Which my heart wants to sing all my life
You are the rhythm of my life
Which my heart wants to beat all my life

You are the destination of my life
Which I want to reach in my life
You are the road of my life
Which I want to take all my life

You are the spirit of my life
Without you there is no joy in my life
You are the sun of my life
Without you there is no light in my life

You are the fire of my life
Without you there is no warmth in my life
You are the light of my life
Without you there is no light in my life

You are the fun of my life
Without you there is no fun in my life
You are the one in my life
Without you there is no one in my life

About Life

LIFE goes fast
LIFE has to last
LIFE has crime in it's own time
LIFE can have a war
LIFE has a law
LIFE can be sad
LIFE can be bad
IN LIFE there can be fights and we have human rights
LIFE we can love just like a white dove
IN LIFE we smile and can travel every mile
LIFE has seasons
LIFE has reasons
LIFE there is rich and poor who want more
LIFE can be funny just like money

IN LIFE you only get one chance
SO LETS HAVE OUR LAST DANCE! ! ! ...
