He left his Motherland
before onset of Holodomor,

aimed at the destruction
of the Ukrainian nation,

The present doth bear witness
to repeated assaults upon

scapegoated innocent people.

and Vladimir Putin in particular

April 9th, 2024 would be ninety fifth birthday poem for dearly departed papa

The following words crafted soon after the soul of me daddy set adrift into the empyrean realm joining the rank and file of entities constituting spiritus mundi.
 

Borne aloft into the netherland
the body bearing thee soul

of Boyce Brandon Harris
birth name given to my late father
buoyed into the great beyond
united with spirit
of mine late mother Harriet,
whose passing well nigh nineteen

Elysian fields embraced dada's soul

which rocketed into aerospace

(courtesy General Electric satellite)

just a tadpole more than three

earth orbitz and a half years ago,
when venerated, loved,
and celebrated then nonagenarian
on par with jumping frog
of calaveras county,
(whose captor disguised
as toad tilly grim reaper)

went a courtin for fresh corpse,

Invisibly tortured courtesy existential nihilism

Psyche wracked with agony
impossible mission to extricate lovely bones
they wanna remain permanently abed.

I chiefly function to amass knowledge
courtesy assiduously, habitually,
and judiciously reading
an eclectic assortment of written material.

Yours truly woke
with ambition, disposition,
inclination, and predilection
to glean from an assortment
of books esoteric learning
since... birth, but particularly
when experiencing emerging adulthood
about two score years ago.

Feeble attempt crafting poetry
whereat gobbledygook doth trot -

faint thanks a lot

senseless, rhymeless... lettered
