Pay for ransom! Send us money!
Reward handsome – golden honey
Outwardly trapped by foreign laws
Beaten and slapped by sharpened jaws.
Won’t you please help? Don’t want to die!
I’ll pay you back – a ‘famousguy’
Wish you were here to be my friend
Loving fully unto the end.
One life taken a tit for tat
Badly shaken mortal combat
Wars of the lands unending show
By unseen hands unloving foe
Ocean sadness whales are singing
Dolphin gladness bubbles ringing
Of their calling to say, ‘Hello’
And winged sylphs so long ago
Who would you trust – great or small?
Author’s note: Inspired by chatting sessions with ‘J@ck B!ll*’ from Florida of 2006, the ongoing efforts of TPTB combined with wars, aliens and other poems by ‘beupdated’, ‘dotgo’, ‘ninaalvarez’ and ‘intrepiddreamer’ – wooo!
