The drinking song...

April poetry number ten.

   Drinking song...

Once I met Bukowski in California and he told me. Never truth a man, who never drinks.  I learn with old age. He was right. Drunk men or women will tell you the truth. Even if you don't want to know.

Now old age had stole my energy and I keep doing forward. Tonight I write drunk man poetry and it feel so damn good. I am smiling tonight and I don't know why? 

I have found God and I have danced with the Devil. The  Devil was more fun. The Devil told me to have fun, be wild and travel. God told me to me kind. I am kind and I am dancing with the Devil.

Bukowski told the truth. No-one wants to hear the truth. Ukraine is being destroyed. Why does no-one care? I am a old soldier and I would stand with Ukraine. I would be honored to be side by side with the Ukraine soldiers. Die for freedom, to die to protect the people of Ukraine. Where is Europe?

I am drinking tonight. I know I had a good life. I have two grandchildren sleeping in my house and and a kind wife. I am praying for Ukraine. Please pray for Ukraine. I saw the suffering of war. I buried thousands in Africa who died from sickness and hunger. I cried for stranger.

Today we must force our leader. We must defeat the Devil. The Devil is the Russians. Today so many are paying the price for greed.  The drinking song, I sing. I pray our leaders are listening.

hi coyote
war is terrible. selfish actions from the architects & instigators of war.
praying for ukraine is too much of an unassertive & diffident behaviour for me. i like positive & assertive actions.
I'm forever writing to politicians, councillors, bureaucrats etc. complaining of what they ought to be doing to improve a situation. read my letter to the sec-gen. of NATO.
more people should write & complain, maybe actions will happen quicker.
happy easter.
cheerio carola

I agree dear Carola. Where is NATO? I saw the faces of the people escaping Ukraine. Break my heart and thank you for reading and the comment.

NATO is located in Brussels Belgium (stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation)

I know dear Carola. I served at NATO for three months. I did love Brussels. I was station in Germany from 1976-1980. The people of Brussel were very kind to me. I enjoyed the food.

Hey there! Cayote, I like the audio-video. It's a melancholy song. She is amazing! I sing too, so I loved every moment of it. Like I said, very brooding. About the poem I like the fact that you realize that Hell is stronger than Heaven. God found me. But Satain, caressed me, great read hon, :D

Thank you, dear poet. Life teaches us. We can't win every battle. But we must try.
