A Melody Called Peace. Scott Johnson
rain is challenging her grace.
We all witness Kirstein and women similar to her
But nothing we do for their deaths to defer.
Together we can change their situations
Improve their lives, welfare and educations
And put a stop to their forced abrogation.

An Autumn Song
The lonely birds join the leaves' throng
And together they sing an Autumn song.
A sparrow joins them to sing
A fallen leaf in the wind does swing.
The cool breeze touches the naked trees
Drops of rain wet the little angry bees
Who can find no flowers to cuddle
Instead together they do huddle.
Summer slept and winter awaits
But the fall the universe decorates
With the colors: red, orange and yellow
A cluster of brown leaves sleep below.
Together, they all, sing the song of fall
The crows dance, the snakes crawl.
World is covered by a yellowish blanket
And everyone is invited for the autumn's banquet
Which is all about beauty and diversity
When all sing a colorful ditty.

Broken
In a cold summer you did depart
Since then I carry a broken heart.
Still don't know why you left me alone
To live with sorrow, to live on my own.
You were my close jaunty bright star
But now you're drastically far,
Now my life is a starless night
In which I sleep with fright.
We used to sailed on the same boat
Going to islands so remote
There you took my hand and said:
"I won’t leave you, even when I'm dead"
I died and you survived
It was me who strived
For all the moments of this love
But now I'm like a hunted dove.
The claws of your fake sweet words
Hurt my heart like some poisonous swords,
My story is more tragic than Macbeth
I suffered a suffering black death.

Chocolate Scoop
Me, Amy, Matthew and John
In a plain of Jonquil run.
Amy a butterfly chases
Big smiles on our faces.
Me, Amy, John and Matthew
Try a game which is new,
Who catches a white moth wins
Amy smiles, John grins.
One…two…and three I caught
Amy waits her shoes to knot.
John caught one and Matthew none
YAY, the game as usual I won.
Mr. Anderson, the ice cream man
Who said he has visited Iran,
Calls us to eat ice creams
Of happiness Amy screams.
Since forever we're a group
Always we eat the same chocolate scoop,
We laugh, jump and eat
Who cares his clothes to remain neat?

Dead light
Little kids with so many dreams go to bed
While the lights still shine,
For in the reality the light is dead
New lights in their dream they design.
Lights which never die.
A light connected to eternity
That help their dreams to fly
And depart from the gray city.
A reality without light
Doesn't worth to exist,
For people live in fright
And for their goals they don't insist.
A life without lights
A life filled with darkness,
Starless cold nights.
Sadness the hearts harness.
The kids prefer to sleep
Not to wake anymore
They sleep so deep,
The reality they ignore.

Dear Mr. Death
Warm greetings dear Mr. Death.
Where ever you are.
Calm and greedy dear Mr. Death.
Lives you take at a war.
A letter and flower for you, Mr. Death.
As a sign of friendship.
For our long term cooperation Mr. Death.
On the death fathership.
Recently you've been vapid Mr. Death.
Is anything wrong.
Maybe for the vacuous life Mr. Death.
Come on, you can get along.
Remember the souls we took.
By the hook or crook.
Veracity we had in our work.
You the boss and I the clerk.
Now I am old and weak.
A little tired and sick.
Maybe I should resign.
I can't grow like a wine.
So I decided to go.
Abdicated long ago.
My bones were fragile.
Couldn't resist to beguile.
Neither me nor anyone else.
In Tokyo or Wales.
Can't take down Mandela.
Let alone our wretched !..…
Still to you I shall tell.
May it for you rings a bell.
I was born in 1913.
Been savage and a little mean.
In a land act i hailed the world.
Not so far I became a lord.
Lord of a separation.
