There once was a pilot named Lane. Half the time that he flew—he’d complain. One day he got tired. And so, he was fired. Found asleep on the plane where he’d lain.

Haste

Here’s a hopeless sense of haste— Trying to turn time to our tune. Looking at this world we waste— Growing jaded, approaching June. If tomorrow never came And the Earth slowed to a still, Yet somehow we still remained— Could we fix all the world’s ills? Would right and left meet in the center Or would the center fall apart? There are doors we dare not enter And some change won’t enter hearts. As it stands, the clock still ticks All the time would not mend Men’s constant call to conflicts So we start same as we’ll end.

There once was a man with no console. His system was broken and not whole. Thought he’d Switch to a book. But it just never took. And no one was there to help console.

Memorial

My great-grandfather fought in the first World War Won a medal from France but back at home, he was ignored And he came back, working late into the night Deemed lesser cause he was dark, yet kept his light My ancestor fought in the Civil War A mixed-race slave, came up dirt poor His white blood didn’t give him a complexion Dead set against the South’s insurrection My great-uncles fought in World War II They didn’t let others turn their color to blue One returned with a bad limp His power became peace, mistaken for a wimp These are the heroes we tend to forget The souls who sacrificed so much and what do they get? But as long as we’re still around We’ll protect the country at air, sea, and ground
