You wish to get out of here.
You want to go over there.
It seems that things are not fair.
To just go, you wouldn't dare.

You made the bed that you lay in.
Now you must bear it and grin.
Leaving now is not a win.
Though he's not as he has been.

Voluntarily you immersed,
when you said for better or worse.
Now hopeless, all paths adverse.
A statement you wish to reverse.

You knew the odds from the start.
When you reached out with your heart.
Together till death do you part.
Now you're thinking you weren't so smart.

But your vows you will complete.
Even though there's no more heat
and are others that look more sweet.
Your promised vows are concrete.

Sometimes it just makes you cry.
Feeling helpless; wondering why.
So, if you want another guy,
someone else will have to die.

You made a plan and you got caught.
Now all that was just for naught.
In jail now for your evil plot.
He found someone to take your spot.

THE Texan in the Philippines.jpg

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
