“Life, Love, Liberty”
Freedom
Freedom is to be who you are without being ashamed
Freedom is to love someone without being blamed
Freedom is to walk home in the dark without being raped
Freedom is to say your thoughts out loud without being hated
Freedom is to choose whether you turn left or right
Freedom is to surrender without a fight
Freedom is,
To be who you are
Where you are
When you are
Let no one
Tell you differently

“I need camouflage
that works in such a way
that when I wear it,
you disappear.”
Jarod Kintz
Camouflage
I need a good disguise
I really need to hide
From the prying eyes
So very hard I tried
To fit in the system
Trying each position
But now the resistance
Almost my mission
Is to get away
To disappear
I know it’s a cliche
I am facing
The final frontier
My heart racing
I am finally fading
My shell visible
Slowly trading
Becoming invisible
My camouflage
Now complete

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
Sunsets and horseback rides
In the sandy open wide
Beach life at its best
Or something else you can suggest?

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
Knick-knacks
And doodads
They may not last
To tell any tales
From here
To the past

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
In the clear turquoise waters
Maybe, spotting a few otters
But fare warning
Be careful, of what you may spot
The white fading spot
Could be a seagull doing a drop
Or a tourist diving
Without a bottom or a top!

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
The midday sun
High up in the blue sky
Enjoying the holiday fun
Watching the birds fly

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
Local architecture,
Filled with history
Just lay back
And soak in the stories
Of all the glories
From the past
Plastered to last
Oh, what a blast!

“I’m surfing the giant life wave”
William Shatner
Happy Birthday to William Shatner
O Captain, my Captain!
Or is it Mr William Shatner?
Difficult to separate
Call it luck or call it fate
Watching my favourite show
Alerted by the familiar klaxon
Captain James T Kirk is on
Then nothing can go wrong
When on Vulcan
Do as the Vulcans do
Dear Captain, my Captain
Dear Mr Shatner
Live Long and Prosper!

“A short story is something that you can hold in your mind.
You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine”
Chuck Palahniuk
Could it be?
Could it be?
Can you see?
Is it true?
Who knew!
So what if it is
This wasn’t a quiz
It’s no one’s biz
If we go to the Ritz
Never mind
I’ll be fine
I got a dime
Let it chime
Out on the street
Dancing to the beat
Life oh so sweet
Oh what a treat
The lesson learnt
Don’t get burnt
Even if you weren’t
Dance ’till you aren’t
