The Freed of Getting Frisked at Your Risk Foundation
We are pleased you have chosen to run again,
For public office.
However...
There are a 'few' who donated to your campaign efforts,
That last time...
Several years ago,
Now want to know...
What has happened to the millions unaccountable,
For that past attempt.
Can you explain how that funding was spent?
'Of course I can.
I am more than delighted.
I've been wanting to clear the air of that issue for years.
You see,
My wife and I are founders...
Of 'The Freed of Getting Frisked At Your Risk Foundation'.
And what we have done with those millions entrusted to us,
Is to ensure every stray animal...
Dog, cat, bird or beaver,
Regardless of its pedigree...
Is given an opportunity to have free legal consultation.
AND...
A kennel worthy of being lined,
With updated newspapers printing the latest...
Of entertaining gossip detailing the lives,
Of their most beloved film stars.'
I see.
So you're saying,
An investigation into how that money has been used...
Is completely pointless?
'Not only pointless.
But a waste of taxpayer's hard earned wages.'
Sounds good to me.
Bill...
Do you have any more probing questions?
~None whatsoever.
That response should put to bed the issue.
And any other accusation of theft.~

There Have Been Millions And Millions Of Years
THERE HAVE BEEN MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS
There have been millions and millions of years
And there will be millions and millions more
And I have had only less than seventy-
There is so much to see and be and know
I could understand far more than I do now
I have so much beauty and hope and love in me
Why do I have to die?
It does not seem fair or wise
So much waste and loss in my dying
Worlds in me that will never be known.

How Dare He Not Need Us
He...
'That' one,
Should be punished!
'Why? '
He promised to take public money,
To finance his campaign!
The money we worked hard for,
And donated towards those running
For political office!
'He changed his mind!
Saying he preferred not to do that.
He wanted to find another way...
Than to diminish the public trust!
That is the reason why he didn't take it! '
But that makes us angry!
He did not give us one opportunity...
Not one chance to deny him.
Or throw that in his face...
If we chose to do so!
We are outraged by his arrogance!
How dare he not need us?
His success has been enormous.
This is appalling.
Where is the justice in this?
We want his virtue and integrity investigated.
What makes him think he is better,
Than the thieves and crooks...
We have grown accustomed!
He has chosen to be honest?
And 'this' is not reflective,
Of our way of life.
How can we trust him,
To represent our interests?

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Inquiry.
Oh'Iraq inquiry, What is it for?
Sheer publicity, Was it a‘legal war'?
Costing millions of pounds, bloody indecency.
To get answers good it sounds, waste of time and money.
The public were misled, media lies' were fed.
‘Sexed up' dossier, ‘true'they'd say.
‘Forty-five minute launch ability', they'd say insistently.
Resolutions by U.N', they had to stop'Saddam'
Blair and co', play the media show.
They talk of justification, ‘weapons of mass destruction.'
Inspectors on the ground, none ever found!
Death of Dr Kelly, ‘suicide'apparently!
‘Questions' were asked, depth they lacked.
No answers direct, truth was‘select'!
A few did squirm, nothing new to churn.
Odd one on the spot, no great shock.
One of the few highlights, yes best sights.
Of the whole inquiry, one bit of HONESTY.
Some in opposition, venting frustration.
In particular, ex-cabinet minister.
Clair Short, TRUTH and cheers she brought.!
So that was that, the issue of Iraq.
Nothing to be concluded, total truth will be eluded.!

Pointless
It's pointless.
Though I like it still.
It pleases me so.
It fits the bill.
Continuing on through useless drills.
The absurdity of it really kills.
I love these old pointless horror films.
The plot is wretched and extrmely thin.
Their laughable attempts to be quite grim.
It never ceases to make me grin.
I love them tons.
With pointless puns.
Their exquisetlessly needless and quite dumb.
They never stop in endless run.
I want to see them all it's so much fun.
They're completley pathetic like this poem.
Going on in endless drone.
I like it still it's pointless fun.
You do to cause now it's done.

Final Nail? ~
i fight the urge to decompose!
To loose it all...
To say way too much...
To spill my guts, so to speak;
Oh, the injustice of it all!
Greed does horrific things to souls;
Have lost track of the tally
Of how many home invasions happened-
Of how many things inside were doctored...
Steps taken in our home when we were GONE;
Over the years-a thousand tears-unsettled fears!
Like a bunch of vultures circling-
Watching-waiting-antiscipating-scann ing-planning
For their very next opportunity! ;
Victims already twice-of idenity theft-idenity fraud!
The Law and legal system knows of our woes all too well!
Today, things are different
Today, we are 2012-updated!
Interior designed with the latest and yes the best;
Now WE wait for that video, long awaited, including sound
That will finally put that final nail in their proverbial coffin!

We are spending more money on bond holders than we are on our own citizens. It took 204 years to have this happen. The other party will not even allow a recorded vote on this issue so that we can see how people stand on that issue.

It Never Ceases
It never ceases to amaze me,
How those who have freshly awakened...
To live their own lives after chasing rainbows,
Assume others are wasting theirs away...
By always having made those choices done,
To do what they like in spite of opposition,
By those arriving feeling freed of conflicting dispositions.
And after years spent in explorations others did not do,
There are those living lives to do it in peace and quietly...
In preferences chosen away from everyone's doings.
To be out of public sight day and night,
Doing those things chosen to do that is wished.
Because of a life it took time to find and like once dismissed,
Without the pressure of feeling to be accepted and quizzed.
I am older and wiser and much more peaceful.

Pointless Oppositions
So happy am I and pleased to see,
Others with talents to express them publicly.
When I began to do this I felt alone and strange.
Especially when people misunderstood my attempts,
To do what I desired and not seek attention to get.
Although it was part of the territory to be exposed.
I only knew of a love of it.
Ego had nothing to do what I chose!
And as years have gone by so happy am I,
To see others with 'gifts' express them in public.
I know how lonely and difficult it gets,
When others with no interests...
'Assume' they can pass judgement with senseless tests.
Hoping to discourage those born to do their best.
To only witness one determined to be who they are,
And achieve with a doing to reflect their best efforts.
So happy am I and pleased to see,
Others with talents to express them publicly.
And...
Putting to rest,
Those who protest with their pointless oppositions.
Only those who know,
Grow from those wounds to heal to show what's real.

Into a Zone
Oh...
I can get into a 'zone' and just stay all day.
If the mood strikes me right.
And the love I have for writing is in the air.
I could stay there unaware of time.
And why not?
I can not describe the satisfaction I get from it!
And happy I am no one is around me to annoy,
Or begs me to explain...
Why my joy comes to clear the atmosphere.
Without those pointless interruptions,
That lead into accusations expressed...
Of a selfishness.
And yes,
I would have to admit it.
With the hope that the 'zone' I was in has not left!
Sometimes...
Even making ugly faces wont chase some pests away.
They seem to become more enamored,
By what they believe is a mystery that dissolves into...
Undignified name calling!
~That's correct.
That's exactly what I said!
You want to hear those words again?
Beaver lips! ~
'A beaver does not have lips! '
~Nor do they wear a ten and a half shoe,
On a foot that can lift and implant prints.~

Bewitch Me With It
You bewitch me with it.
Your presence.
And a scent that revisits sentiments,
Reminsced with a wanting to linger.
I dare not to pretend,
You captivate.
I dare not to pretend,
I am entrapped.
It would be pointless to do that.
Since I can not explain.
Or wish to attempt to.
Whenever I am around you,
I drool, I do and could care less.

Take All The Time You Need
We have it here on your 'record'.
Theft of a candy bar,
From a local grocery store.
What is your defense?
'That was 60years ago.
I was but 4 years old.'
And you wish us on the panel to believe,
You can be entrusted to uphold...
Our principles and standards?
What lessons since then have you learned?
'I have learned...
My tolerance to deal with 'annointed' fools,
Is a gift and a remarkable blessing.
One I have come to cherish most of my life.'
We, on this selection committee...
Are not completely sure if your response is an insult.
So we have agreed to end our assessment of your talents,
Until further notice.
'Cool. Take all the time you need.
I will be waiting with baited breath for your response.'
And yet...
There is a sincerity about you,
That keeps us enthralled.
If it was up to me you would be selected.
'Cool. Take all the time you need.
I'm sure whomever is selected,
Will fit within the confines of your vision.
I don't do limitations well,
But I can certainly try.'
There is 'something about you,
I can not put my finger on.
But it is intriguing.
You will definitely be hearing from us soon.
'Cool. Take all the time you need.
You must be the 'brains' of this outfit?
I would love working with you.'
You mean 'for' us!
'No...
I mean 'with' you.'

Millions of water drops
drops of water
millions of drops
Falling down the rocks
Millions of water drops
Glittering in the sun
Shining like pearls
Millions of water drops
Ending as a river
Finding way to ocean
Millions of water drops
Creating childrens happiness
Laughter and joyfullness
Millions of water drops
Soon will tide reach
White long shores
Millions of water drops
Animating Waves
into forming caves
Millions of water drops
splittering from above
till reaching top of the hill
Millions of water drops
Without them no sound
No whispers of the living
Millions of water drops
Watch the clearness
From crest to earth
Millions of water drops
For tribe’s best
Beware of waste
Millions of water drops
Treasured should they be
As belonging to all humanity

Meaning Of Life
Tell me what you mean to me
And I'll do the same for you
Tell me that you'll help me reach
The sun
The stars
The moon
I'll get you up
If you fall back down
Not only if i have to
It's not pointless to love
It's hurtful not to
I'd cry for the millions
That have loved and lost
Praying that i'm not the last to go
I'd happily wait for you in heaven
Yes i'd be impacient
But i'd hate to see you leave first
What has got me around to this conversation
Maybe it's the thought of getting old
I don't yet now the meaning of life
Not sure really if i'd like to
Just don't want to be the last to go

Don't want to be alone
Keep falling over
A spell that brings me sorrow
Give and take
I shouldn't be afraid
So you give me this big story
It wakes me every day
The challenge is to chase the sounds
Just to break away
And I'm running
Running
Yes I'm running
A simple peace
Just can't be found
Waste another day
Blasting all their lives away
I've heard the thunder
Underground
Tunneling away
At the very soul of man
And I'm running
Yes I'm running
I'm running
Through a new world
There is the heart of millions
Seen as a godsend to us
There stands our future
There can be no denying
Simple as A B C D
There stands our children's lives
All in the sharp step
As one together
All in all we race
As one
This time
A simple peace
Just can't be found
Waste another day
Blasting all their lives away
I've heard the thunder
Underground
Tunneling away
At the very soul of man
At the very soul of man
And I'm running
Running
I'm running
See through science
Part of a back door
A door made up of doors
To an endless time
To a new world
Run
There in the heart of millions
Seen as a godsend to us
There stands our future
There can be no denying
Simple as A B C D
There stands our children's lives
All in the sharp step

Now and forever
This time, brothers in time
Is it hard to take
Take this coice
Is it hard to find

This fire brothers of fire

As it kicks so hard

As it kicks on time

There in the heart of millions
