    Default Unbreakable Bound

    Unbreakable Bound

    The heart it is breaking
    how I feel this-
    unbreakable bound

    The tiny room
    where Napoleon yielded
    his life and honor-

    Far behind
    the purple curtain
    as tourists gawk

    And pale tidings
    rub the gambit
    of hero's death

    As the field asked
    who, who won
    midnight's hour struck

    Time smiled and said
    no more, no more
    sun has died

    And you and I
    crouched so low
    ask ounce of shade.

    A pound of flesh
    with no remorse
    hangman's true delight

    The heart it is breaking
    how I feel this-
    unbreakable bound.

    Robert J. Lindley,
    April 22nd 1972, age 18

    Note: One look and Heaven gave its answer.
    Walk in the light and ask no more...

    If A Man Lives And Dies with Courage


    On the sheep-cropped summit, green meadows survive
    below the villages celebrate just being alive
    Time and a dangerous world that spins forever
    where man works with devices, a crank and lever
    to earn his ever so poorly gotten low pay
    Low and behold when good fortune falls that bless day
    Man trudges through his begotten stupor of life
    And give God thanks if he has a true loving wife
    She a princess that kisses and serves his just needs
    And he a warrior that if he must fights and bleeds.

    And We Where Given Birth, Born As A Crop From Heaven Seed

    Black shadows from a bad ailing sun, little to no hope
    Stains that inch their way into a most badly bleeding heart
    Why does the rope burn and the wanton spirit fail to cope
    Are we blinded prisoners from birth, a condemned start.
    Yes and no, none are so free as those that give not a damn
    As they walk through their lives caring not for morality
    Is the bold truth a Hollywood fable, a cursed slam
    We swim poison rivers immune to their dark reality.
    The local tavern fills up and its dead learn to slow dance
    Saturday night they spout out vividly gigantic lies
    With the screaming dreams, the hopes on a wayward chance
    That the guilty earth splits, and time ends and everybody dies.
    Hold this deeper thought, love is what we all so badly need
    And we where given birth, born as a crop from Heaven seed.

    Of Homer, Iliad And The Fall Of The Mighty Greeks

    As the moon repents from its many vague allusions
    And the splintered rains never rain upon true imaginations
    What are we to think of those fools, plastic imitations
    Does bright dew and turnips spring from revolutionary actions

    He toys with unrepentant love and celebrated crisis
    Begs the grey-cast dawn to organize her princess retreat
    While pigs and blinded dogs drink furiously at the oasis
    The Greek, smokes final cigar and tells us damn you boys eat

    We tread ever onward; dawn stimulates its latent spirit
    Ahead lay the great battlefields of the valiant Greek dead
    Clouds begin vomiting and blood spurts out from trees near it
    Homer ghost comes, cries lets be true to our heroes
    instead.

    Mighty Greeks fought hundred of battles had heroes in all.
    Sad, nobody stays on top, so even the Greeks had to fall.

    The Saddest Truth Of Love And Its Deep Darker Side

    Love too often acts so radically says life
    Forbiddenly, it holds emotional cut scars
    Cut with an on loan, long diamond edge butcher's knife
    It wages battles aplenty, wrecks destructive wars
    It climbs trees, soars into the high heavens above
    That sadder truth I know, its darkness is jet black
    Some laud its beauty amidst this world's push and shove
    Yet under its spell, good sense they often do lack.

    Warnings and consequences rarely do matter
    But intelligence hides the truth of this sad world
    Once its fever drives you mad as the Mad Hatter
    Into a passion filled stupor you are hurled

    Addicted your heart and soul are its new play thing
    Out you go to buy her a fancy diamond ring.

    of course it is.

    the job of the poet is to distillate life down into a terse effective expression. not an easy job.

    If by a "terse effective expression", you mean succinct, then we are in agreement ....--Tyr

    Co-Exist, Neither Of Us Fear The Knife

    I saw the crescent moon in dappling sky
    Gentle wind danced about and moaned
    Earth spoke quite clear and told the crescent moon
    Let all liars that lie now be stoned
    Does not the wizen owl straight on home fly?

    I saw the vast crowd of bright twinkling stars
    They danced to tease the dark looming night
    I ran with fast wolves, our hearts beat as one
    We watch the Heavens and saw all was right
    And fought not to create vicious scars!

    I saw life ebb and truth sat there quite clear
    Nobody cowered, nobody fears.
    Heart and spirit seeks wisdom and true life
    Co-exist, neither of us fear the knife!

    Evolution Is Man-Made, Lying Fairy Tale

    You feel it, know it, deep down in your flowing blood
    No way, you did not crawl from the cold oozing mud
    No sir, you realize it wrapped quite deep within
    You have a soul underneath your covering skin
    You have a kind true heart that can in sweet love feel
    You hope, dream and pray and from many things you heal
    Your ideas in life come from a bright thinking brain
    When hurt you know, you feel that as an aching pain
    Kindness and sympathy are traits you hold so dear
    Your mind ponders life, love, death and yes you do fear
    Do you really believe we crawled up from slimy mud
    That our earth never faced that horrible flood.

    Evolution is man-made, lying fairy tale.
    Place your faith in it and you will end up in hell.

    Note: I wrote this at age 17.
    I have lived on this blue marble another 52 years now,
    since then and I still have faith in this being a poem about truth
