When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

An Egyptian Freedom Falcon Flies Battle Cry Freedom
over Egyptian sands past monolith waiting pyramids
royal falcon flies sands where prophet Moses lead
own enslaved people to a long awaited promised land
finally after waiting thousands of years a leaderless
Egyptian people lead themselves to fame freedom sands
to see an Alamo moment birth in phoenix pyre eyes
stirs heart of freedom loving men to battle cry freedom

It is a curious fact that when we get sick we want an uncommon doctor... When we get into a war, we dreadfully want an uncommon admiral and an uncommon general. Only when we get into politics are we content with the common man.

Who Is Complete A Stranger?
True our roads
have lead
to many strange
journeys
uncommon sights
adventures
experiences.
Who is
complete
a stranger
to native land
a normal life
of common
aspirations?
You who
adventure

are blessed
where
you are meant
to be
and you
have time

Egyptian Tanks In Tahrir Square
Mighty yellow metal monsters
intimidate approach Tahrir Square;
symbolic modern dread dealers
of death sent to scare spread fear;
but courage of Egyptian peaceful protesters
defies president calculated tank terror threat;
day upon day witness oppressed courageous
civilian populations demands freedom fight.
No torture dictator rule indefinitely steals
a sovereign nation’s dream freedom right;
No general president in immunity survives
indefinitely citizen’s claim to freedom right.

The uncommon to be common
There are exceptions to rules.
When exceptions exceeds in use,
Rules relegate to exceptions
And exceptions stay as rules.
The uncommon one frequenting,
The common one is replaced
By the uncommon to be common.
Marriage is soon to be uncommon.

Temple Lusts
“Temper loss is not the end
For a man’s lust.”
I had a friend once
who claimed;
he looked forward
to his future
temple loss;
in hopes of freedom
from compulsive emotions.

Freedom Carries Multiple Meanings
fighting oppression in multiple meanings
censorship through televised manipulations
talking about premeditated virtual conspiracy
against peace loving citizen communications
freedom saga rescue is a nice way to fight
through claimed sight multiple meanings
freedom carries hope seeds in individualistic
experience sanctuary self-phrasing matters
freedom carries multiple meanings
self-praising soul liberation's maturity
like love freedom speech perceptions
like it as if somebody else wrote it
as your own harmonic soul liberations
into your soul rescued from captivity
separate freedom from mind into hearts
claiming God imbued freedom birth rights

Sentenced For The Term Of Her Natural Life
Past waves
sucked out marrow
chilling chipped
raw bones
stripping striped
flayed flesh.
Balsam rubbed
in hardens.
As gashed
groaning flesh
rigidly resists
handfuls
of coarse salt.
Raked
across weeping wounds
scouraged bitterly.
Lashes tongue
flickering frequent
constant
incriminations
falling relentlessly.
Cat-o’-nine-tails
allows neither
respite nor escape.
Smelling salts
sympathy
denial Governor ordered
bridled regress
deriving unconsciousness.
Induces no reverence
for suppurate
righteous system.
Leg-bail
impediment
affixed
at left anklet
limits
a woman’s freedom
surged
natural running pace.

Poet Honours Poet Across Cultures
the wheel turns

‘Terence George Craddock
With Honour On My Page’
is the poem ‘Ancient Egyptian
Women Bathe In River Nile’
which was inspired by the poem
‘The Story of River Nile
with Egyptian Women’
by Hosney Soliman.
Poet honours poet all with ears
to listen, hear our mind song,
flowing from the River Nile;
the sphinx, the pyramids,
melting in golden skin colours,
as rebirth awakening Nile floods
washing over our listening souls,
through skies eyes
of freedom worship.
We hounour our love
of freedom liberty beauty
which God wrote into all souls.
God bless Hosney, let us
continue to sing
freedom songs
together in light.
