(Wars fought, lessons taught, bad guys caught, I tried, in the process I died.)
On this memorial day I'm not here with you to pray You see I died for you to be free I knew my possible fate Before my final date I went anyway to fight I felt that I was during right My life is gone And my soul is gone home Have you forgot Now my body does rot In the ground And I'm no longer around I'm on ice I made the ultimate sacrifice A Soldier

New Poetry by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper

I once heard this preacher say, "I''ll preach out of a paper bag if I have to." I feel the same about verse.

Paper Bag Poet

From the wishing well, minusing the devil''s hell.

I Wish U Well

Roses are red, thorns prick instead, depending on the head, or what is later on said.

Thorns End

The world is full of angry pissed off people everywhere, here and there, and some really don''t care. They have anger to spare.

Pissed Off People

Life is a sweet and sour affair, so take a deep breath and find some fresh air, that is if you dare or really care.

Deliver Us From Evil

We need oxygen, aka air, no matter what it needs to be there, however life at times isn't fair.

Lung Answer

and likes, whatever! Oh yes, the racist and bigots are here too, just like in regular society.

Peoples Dislikes

"Be happy for what you escape!" A Trask quote got me to thinking, and inking.

What U Escape
