No War

 

No War

© by Bud Lemire on Feb 28, 2026

In this day and age, we don't need any war

We've come too far, it's not what we're living for

We don't need, a bully as a leader

Who happens to be, a misguided ringleader

Don't need no war

That's not what life is for

Don't need any more of his shit

He's just a whimsical nitwit

Don't need no war

Don't need him any more

America is slacking

He'll keep on attacking

He does as he pleases

He's one of the diseases

He's into every head

Of those that he lead

Brainwashed and fed

The ignorance he spread

Where will it stop

Enough of his slop

When will it end

He's nobody's friend

Degrading anyone, different than him

Making more lives, seem pretty dim

Wake up America, don't let him have control

Before this is over, we'll all be in a hole

America, we love you. We hate what he is

doing to you. Someday, he will pay for all

this. When he does, we can all celebrate.

Light Bringer

As life slips through my finger

I try my best to make it linger

People told me I'm not much of a singer

Still I sing, but I was more of a Light Bringer

I bring light, to those who can't get out

I shine on those, who still live in doubt

I had my own struggles along the way

It never stopped me from making their day

Each one of us carry, a light inside of us

It comes out when we need it, you just have to trust

When we do something that feels right, it's there

It's felt the strongest, when we truly care

The light we have, comes from the soul

The more we use it, the more we feel whole

It's a large part, of what makes us who we are

People will see us, as a brightly shining star

It's a gift, that was given to us since birth

It was even there , before we came to Earth

Believe in this gift, believe in this light

It will guide you on this journey, into everything right

This light we carry inside us, guides us through our life.

It shows us right from wrong, and shows us what to do,

and what not to do. You can feel it, even when sometimes

you may think it is gone. It never leaves you. It will always

be a part of you. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.

It's used when you give freely of yourself. You will feel it

when it's needed most, and you will know, the good it does.

Old Man Winter

Old Man Winter, has returned

Asking us all, what have we learned?

“Was it too nice?”

“Without much ice”

“I just took a long break”

“Did you miss me, by the Lake?”

“I've returned again, and let me say”

“The Winter you remember, is here today”

“Hope you haven't forgotten me”

“This year will be colder, with all you see”

I'll bring temperatures way down low”

“Then raise them up, and let it snow”

“I'll blow the wind, from North To East”

“From South to West, will be increased”

“Shiver your timbers, it's a Winter Blast”

“Only until Spring, will it ever last”

“So put on your Long Johns, and your Beaver hat”

Lay down by the fireplace, on your bearskin mat”

“Stay warm inside, If that's what you must do”

“Or you could be staying, inside an igloo”

Up North, they always welcome me here”

“Every day, at this time of the year”

This year has been a cold one. Old Man Winter is back.

I remember the days when I was younger, snow got pretty deep.

I remember it almost was up to my chin. I'm sure some of you will

remember those days. We've had it pretty easy these last few years.

Chat 2026

“Hello, how are you today? It's great to meet you”

“Yes, I'm much older than you, what is it you do?”

“No, I don't invest in Crypto Currency, or gold”

“That is for richer, younger people, I've been told”

“Oh you are from Asia, or the Ukraine?”

It's great to meet you, did you say you were Jane?”

“I'm Bud from Michigan, a name that isn't too hard”

“No, sorry, but I won't buy you an Apple Gift card”

“You say you're looking for love?”

“It's not at all what I was thinking of”

“I'm just looking for a friend”

“When will the scams end?”

“You're Sandra Bullock?! I talked to twenty of you!”

“Yes, and each one claims to be the one who is true”

“Twenty of you, you all can't be the real star”

“Yet still I wonder, who you really are”

“I'm not really looking for love, I'm happy alone”

“You see, I'm set in my ways, and happy on my own”

“I hope you find someone, who's compatible with you”

“The first step in that, is to be honest and to be true”

“Let the true you flow out”

“Leave no room for any doubt”

I chat with many people, and so many are deceiving.

Either that or they expect you to be like them.

Scammers, looking for love, looking for a rich partner.

All I wanted was a friend. Years ago, I could find friends

in chat. These days, it's very hard to find anyone like that.
