Day One

The fall of Tripoli

The Sun illuminated the dawn

exposing war-torn empty streets

now hunted by Gadhafi loyalist

shooting almost anyone they see

Last nights fantastic jubilation

faded away on the morning fog

Gadhafi remains in hiding

two sons captured like a dog

Now the fighters rest and regroup

praying they were not dreaming

realizing the Government has crumbled

their future now more confusing

…and so ends the first day of the fall of Tripoli

Last Night

.

No worries – no worries

they finally took a stand

victory on the foundation of freedom

like a virus executing a plan

Hap-hazard and at times comical

were it not for all the horror

Tripoli falls – Gadhafi disappears

a vacuum looking for a restorer

It’s now 4;30 in the morning (in Tripoli – August 22, 2011)

need to get some sleep – will write more tomorrow.

About Sailor

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course). Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................ This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525 Please read: "Proprietary Rights". ............................................................................................................. Now, to continue with "About Me". I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. .............................................................................................................. I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
