The Last Train To Berlin

(Ever so often I have to share to the world one of the most influential songs/videos of my early life...

In poetry form!)

The Last Train To Berlin

I am now a life hungry 23 years old!

Fresh out of college!

Green as a fresh sapling!

Afraid of what women will do to me if they get their hands on me!

One late night, I heard this song.

I just discovered Berlin.

I just discovered my lust for Terri Nunn!

I just discovered that if I was going to grow as a man...

I needed to go to the place where this music was born.

In this place resided the misfits.

In this place resided the queers.

In this place resided the mixing of colored skin.

In this place resided women who did not fear... SEX!

In this place resided women who wanted what was right!

Choices were made during those long nights.

Most of them were very right!

And some of them were very, very wrong!

Several one night stands... should have been life time bands!

The darkness surround a song can make the light too bright!

I ignored that light too many times.

But, eventually you change.

Eventually, you conform.

Eventually, you become a part of the mainstream.

And then you must rely on memories of the past.

Memories of the past... to help you remember...

Why you are alive today to remember the past.

To remember... the good goddamn times!

Germany... Please Forgive The Republican-American Political Cowboy Mentality

Dear Angela Merkel,

Chancellor of Germany...

Only a total moronic boob,

Guised in the form of a USA President,

Would walk up to you from behind and...

In a disrespectful idiot cowboy mentality...

Place both uninvited hands onto your shoulders --

Frightening you half to death.

We...

The sane,

Caring,

Understanding,

Respectful Americans...

Apologize for the way American men treat women.

And...

If you add American style Republicanism into the mix,

With its racism,

And its sexism,

And its homophobia,

And its hateful religion,

And its backwoods hillbilly thinking --

You get paranoid craziness that makes America look stupid!

Then...

Soon you find out that America --

The Republican crazy part of the American government --

Is reverting back to the 1950‘s past,

When American white men completely controlled government,

And they believed EVERYTHING not like them was evil!

And so... you find out you are being spied on through your telephones.

Is this present President the reason for the spying?

Believe us, Germany...

The Republicans in charge of that activity keep dark secrets --

Even from this black President they HATE so much!

There are truly evil Republican men, 

And Republican women, 

In American politics today.

Please be patience with the reasonable Americans because...

We will soon begin to purge these idiots from American politics!

Believe me when I say...

We, 

The sane Americans, 

Have had enough,
Too!

Thank you for being a great lady.

And, we really do respect you.
