Off to the mountain/what crystals will I find? See/the stories they tell

 

 

 

High Forget

Hike the mountain

Move on from her

Self survival matters most

What’s the matter the gal asks?

Oh I’m thinking of her

One who once meant the world to me

And now is in my past

I go to the peaks for here

I only have the problems around me

From the natural environment

Those with my ex

And irate callers are forgotten

Climb the high ground

All issues forgotten

 

 

 

Greek Corsairs

See the Greek Corsair jets dance in the sky

Taking on Turkish Vipers in a mad flight

Bombers turned into fighters

And they manage it!

Getting a lock on beyond dispute

See the F16 in the target cross

No denying that it was pure skill

If this was real and not a game

The Viper pilot would be swimming home

Or worse in Valhalla with the others

All equal in battle and death

Put there by a big heavy Greek A7

A left over from Vietnam

Dropping bombs from a carrier

In a different world of jungle and heat

Not blue skies and clear waters

Nobody flies like the Greeks

Facing off a nation eight times bigger

It has always been this way for them

Democracy and history have a cost

Corsairs chasing Vipers is an example

 

 

 

Here we are again/on the tarmac, alert crew/when they come, ready!

 

 

 

It Takes

Be a survivor not a victim

Mindset is important

Absorb the first blow

Come back fighting to win

Stop their sacrilege

It's not religion

They use it to subjugate

For self gain and control

Jettison weakness find power

Even the humble are strong

Move on past them

Stop them following you

By whatever means it takes

 

 

 

Pointed missile rests/awake, who will it kill, maim?/there is no peace here

 

 

 

Tagged

Every single person there

Carries an invisible tag

Listing the problems they carry

What are yours?

Are they like mine?
