Goodbye Galena

 Goodbye Galena

 

Goodbye Galena goodbye

You hopping now

In the grassy fields of the sky

Heaven is blue

With white clouds of delight

I wish you

A future ever bright

I am still holding fast

But one day I too shall pass

Please get on God’s good side

So when it is my turn

I’ll have no concern

And I’ll walk through those pearly gates wide

I promise

To bring you carrots and lettuce

So goodbye Galena farewell

Remember you’ll get no treats

If I wind up in hell 

POLISHED FRAGMENTS

Ali

 Ali

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Ali

Such fame

He had but one name

Ali

And the world was never the same

 

Jack Johnson was long gone

King of the ring

Who was this dude so young?

With a wicked jab and sharper tongue

Don’t you dare say Cassius Clay

It’s Muhammad Ali

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee

Mighty Sonny Liston overcome

And the list had just begun

 

Unjust undeclared war raged

“The Vietnam war is the White Man sending the Black man to kill the Yellow man to defend the land they stole from the Red man:”

And ain’t it the truth?

Wisdom from a youth!

 

Stripped of his title

Forbidden to practice his trade

Despite all the evil

A legend was made

 

Ali

Say it again

Ali

He stood up for you and stood up for me

In the process making history

For tough men they come and go

But Ali, he was a hero
