“A Puppet with Many Strings.”

Posted on October 11, 2022October 11, 2022 by John Oross

I used to work real hard

Bullets fly then they fall
Someone’s filming to send to all
Commercialized terror is their aim
All this death in his name

“Skid-Row.”

Posted on October 11, 2022October 11, 2022 by John Oross

Down to the bone. Makeshift shelter.
No comfort. No home.

Please kiss me with passion
Let our feelings combine
And pledge that you’re mine
For all time . . .

Posted on October 11, 2022October 11, 2022 by John Oross

Happy birthday, Elvis Presley
Today you’d be eighty-seven years young (update yearly)
Every time I hear your music
It brings to mind that you’re not gone
