Hey Guys and Dolls!

I thank all my readers, amongst them Uwe (from Germany), Keith, Josette(Gozo), Staphania, Anton, Daniela, Raymond, Fr. Ray, Katya, and the many anonymous others that occasionally drop me a comment on my blog here and there.

It's a weird period we are living through right now. Not bad, just a bit strange: Burning cars, disastrous euro concert results, barren political scenarios, lack of national role models, false anti-Da Vinci Code crusades, the absence of a real night life scenario...Well, the list is longer, but it's Sunday and I do not wish to bore you any further.

I came across this poem, written a year ago - that I felt like sharing with you. What is a poem worth if retained hidden saved as binary code (Bill Gate’s word doc)? Worst still, It was not even on 'my' pc, but saved on that of my brother's! Enjoy!

Hmm nice poem Ray. This is the first time I'm reading your blog after it was referred to me by another blogger.

Agree fully with you that this is really a weird period in which we're living in. Gone are the 60s and 70s!

Chilled heart In gay hilarity White wine thrash Dripping Lousy mornings… How many more Yet to come? Pathetic pretentious Scribbles of mine… Ray de Bono Monday, July 20, 2009

Another mask, anyone?

POEM Our precious soil, betrays our innocence How many more Must perish Souring over our barren land? Undeserving of so precious Blood We are! Of so graceful Creatures ...they adorn our skies and cry their last desperate sorrows for the bigotry of its inhabitants and their bizarre gods of gore and limestone and euro orgies of smoky, petrified incense as they kneel in front of HE whom they claim to adore. How many more Must perish Souring over our barren land? As the exchequer squambles over another excuse With his peers He jokes over how great he is In his infinite wisdom And his children look for A morrow where feathers are Nothing but Exhibits in classroom books Hailing from days gone by... And deep within each soil granule So miniscule, insignificant Lies the blood of them... The souring angels, Up above...

Ode to Hypocrisy

I stood there and gasped Thinking I know That what I hear See and feel Is anything but factual Words targeted solely at pleasing me for peace sake I stared at the mirror And heard the clatter and wind The chiming of church bells And the howling swears of idle street hawkers selling veggies and kitchen ware with their pseudo- lucky charms And blessed virgins adorning their vans... But I see no man around No woman... I say I am alone All is good All is fine And the smoky sky And putrefying air Is fine As long as we both Say so All is fine. Ray de Bono Thursday, 04 March 2010
