“Dirty Windows”

cji

Difficult to see very far

blackened with dirt

windows giving no light

therefore like a blindness

without illumination

unseeing very much

clearing our minds

opening our eyes

then with no excuse

seeking the truth

or eternal darkness

through dirty windows!

hating America always

their vomit in the streets

costing billions to others

using freedoms to hide

poltroons without resume’

"Gnarled"

“Gnarled”

cji

7/6/17

Bending to the task

never to waver or shirk

becoming bent with age

stubs of hands labored

embraced in hard work

dawn to night fall always

finding sleep a comfort

loving family and home

laboring honestly in duty

always to be counted on

unlike the sloth of today

pansied and entitled weak

playing idle games for pelf

voting for their slavers

politicians, teachers some

how many in our nation

living off the gnarled hands

of those willing to sacrifice

never to waver or shirk

bending always to the task!

elites striving to destroy

creating 1984 reality

a society without brains!

Clinging to the sunset

folding within the woods

sensing the deer quiet

while I reflect his life

clinging to the sunset

folding within the woods!
