life ended abruptly by the
bullet of another’s weapon
paid for by a master neither
one of you has ever met
weapon that was cleaned
with as much care as yours
and placed firmly in hand by
another country such as yours
and without thought, fired to
bring ends to ideals and have
certain glory from gods or God
fired a bullet that ended it’s
own journey in your body
your body, which lies there
weapon in hand that surely would
have ended the bullets owner
if given the chance
this is the death that you have chosen
as if picked out from a catalog
listed under ‘means of dispatch’
and you nation mourns forgetting
your choice
never blaming the decisions
that placed you there
yours and your masters
but I am colder and I cheer
not at your death but
at the end you were able to choose
for yourself
I am not so lucky and
I will die unknowing from where
the bullets came

I’ve decided that I want to spend my weekends playing chess with my son and not necessarily post more than once here. I ask for no-one to be offended as I am not entirely sure I would be able to have any sort of appropriate reaction to such a thing. Not sure, I think it entirely depends on the state of my medication at the time.
Anyway, posting here doesn’t take long depending on the length of the poem I am posting – I do not cut/copy/paste – I retype and hope that I have the sensibility for something new in it. Mostly I like them or do not in the state they are and they remain unchanged.
Go here.
or here it’s last year but there are two there and I like them.
here is good as well. Again, last year but the one here I’ve always had affection for.
these made me feel good.
I will post more in the future when I am feeling this lazy again.
That’s Charlie. I’m Jhon and you are going to have an excellent day.

one of these days
I’ll get around to
being amazed
by you
by the things that
you say
by the way
you dress
by the beer that
you drink
by the cigars you
smoke or
the considerable
lies on which you
will choke

Just now actually – I am beginning to be more prolific lately and am quite glad of it. Maybe not leaving my house and burning bridges is where it’s at.
Here it is –
Or is this overused?
Maybe this instead…
okay then, have a great weekend!
I think I need more medication.
