Dedicated To OLD RIVER & WALTER BRENNAN & MIDNIGHT
God's Calling
Your Work is Done.

Nor Plow The Soil
Just For Man.

POEATREEMAN TRIBUTE TO: General Douglas MacArthur:
A GOVERNMENTAL POLICY
A Governmental Policy
Has to be Defended
By Those who Fought a War
and against all Truth
For the First Barrel to Shoot
is Deception
Truth is not Dead
only Wounded
But we
That must Face the Guns
Are Left with a Battle
We Sometimes don't Want
To Fight For Truth
Or Our Country?
A War That Rages
In Each Our Hearts
To Commit
To all We Know is True
To Stand Up
When Our Country is Calling
What Voice do I Hear
and Who is Calling?
The Drums of War
Or Truth Being Silenced out?
I must Know Wrong
To Have the Answers
For Truth
Cannot be a Casualty For Long
And Government
Will have to Face it all
It is our Blood
That Runs in Red
It is Our Time
To make it Right
It is Our Country
That We must not Let Die
It is Our Hearts
That Can Keep it Alive.
A THOUGHT!
There are no Credits in War
Only a Sad Commentator
For Peace
Fear is not ignorance!
Ignorance is War
For Knowledge
is the Understanding
Your Enemy is War
Strike at it with Wisdom
Peace will be yours.
A Poeatreeman
It is Truth that will let us see it all
It is God that can protect us all
Dedicated To All That Held Up Truth
For You have fallen but not forgotten
One Day all will be unveiled
The Cloak of Secrecy Covers us all
For Truth Spoke The Words,
He heard what He had said
My Country must be served,
Truth will be My Guide
Honor is My Country,
If Truth is not to Hide
Loyalty is My Country,
If Right is on its Side
Duty is My Country,
If I can walk with God
Honor, Duty, Country,
Is better Served with God
Loyalty is Better given
When Truth is at its side.

POEATREEMAN TRIBUTE TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING: THE SHADOW ON THE WALL
THE SHADOW ON THE WALL
The Shadow
of My Face
I Cannot Help
Yet
I Can Certainly
Help My Soul
For
it is Filled by
Me Myself
No
Other Can I Blame
The Reflections
looking back at Me
Like
the Shadow
on the Wall
For
it Covers
All My Being
Even unto Soul
The Reflection
of My Shadow
The Reflection
of Myself
The Reflection
of My Soul
I
Will Have
To All Face..
A Poeatreeman
DEDICATED TO
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
MY FACE WILL SHOW
THE SHADE I AM
YET MY SOUL
WILL COLOR ALL I AM
WHAT COLOR AM I
IF MY SOUL IS BLACK?
A WHITER SOUL
I HAVE NOT SEEN
FOR IT IS
NOT COLORED
BY HUMAN GENES
BUT HUMAN KINDNESS
BY HOW
WE TREAT
OUR FELLOW HUMANS.

THE SHADE OF TWO FRIENDS
Two Eyes
To See,
One Soul,
One Heart .
One Light
One Dark.
Two Loves
Can be,
No Shade Apart.
Two Friends,
Can See,
Each Others
Heart.
Not one is Light,
Nor is Dark.
A Friend
Who sees you,
As you are.
One Soul
Your Soul,
Light or Dark?
Two Friends
In a World,
Not a Shade Apart.

A SHADE OF MAN
What Color
is BRIGHTEST?
LOVE
For it COLORS
all of Life
What is
BLACK
and WHITE?
a MIXTURE
of God's Love
What is MAN?
The COLOR
of His Hand
What is
DARKNESS?
The ABSENCE
of Love
What is
The RAINBOW?
The COVENANT
HE
Drew with Love
What is
The SHADE of you?
The PICTURE
GOD
Painted For you.
To Bill Madison
A Poeatreeman
THE HUMAN RACE
WE HAVE DIFFERENT FACES
THOUGH OUR SMILES
WEAR THE SAME.
ONE WORLD
FOR HOPE TO LIVE IN
ONE WISH PEACE !

A SHOT IN THE DARK
Fate is no Stranger
For I am its Course.
The differences between
Destiny and Fate .
Is a matter of Choice
If I turn the bend
Will it lead me
To the End?.
If I take the Curve
Too Fast
Will I turn at the End?.
If I am at
The Crossroad
What Track
Am I on?.
No choo choo train here
Nor whistles
Blowing
To tell me
What's Ahead.
Only Light and Dark
That I must Tread.
No Stop Sign
To Watch..
Except
What I have done.
No signal to alert.
If Conscience
Is not on track.
No light ahead
If I am in the Dark.
No Conductor
If I am its Charge.
A Poeatreeman
There are two Roads,
One Course
There are two Ends,
one Right
There are two Choices,
One Left
There are two Fates,
One Heaven
There are two Doors,
One Open
There is one Time,
When I was Born
One God,
To Open the Door
One to
Close it all Behind.
Dedicated to Nikole
& THE LONG BACK TRAIN

TO Laura Stincer FOR YOUR ALBUM SACRIFICE OF LOVE
WHAT PRICE LOVE?
What is the Price
of Love?
When a Heart
bleeds
from Tears and Hurt
Torn from itself
Ripped with Pain
Left
to Heal the Hurt
Pain
is not the Worst
I Felt it all,
Tears and Aches
The Cares
that Came
Left their Marks
The Words
that Said it
all too Well
I Care
not Love you
til the End
Yet
Love will Hold
it all inside
Taking
it to the Bitter End
Why
does Love
Hold on to me?
I Gave
it Heart
When no one did
I Took
it in
Shared its Love
I Felt
it all Both Soft and Sweet
I Felt
the Bitterness
when
Things went wrong
I Felt
the Pain
wrenching
through my Soul
Oh !
I would
not give it up
for Gold
This Treasure
that Showed me
just what I have
A Life
to find it
just One more Time
This Sweetness
that is more
than Gold
One Heart
is all
I need to Hold
It Fills
me with
the Price of Love
The Cares
to know
when I am Loved
The Pain
that Lets me
know I Cared
The Happiness
I have
when I Shared
The Sorrow
knowing
Love can Hurt
The Tears
showing
the Birth of Love.
A THOUGHT!
Life
is the Chest I Hold
Al I Have
will not be Gold
Yet
Precious it will be
just to Hold
To find Love
that will Carry through
To Open up
Share in its Wealth
To
Have once is Wealth untold.
TO SACRIFICE OF LOVE
A Poeatreeman
There is
only one Heart,
I Care to Love
The one
that God
brought to me
There is
only one Heart,
I can
Share in its Wealth
The World
that Holds
a place for me
There is only
one Care,
that will Carry
me through
To Care for it
in all I do.
