Prisoner Of War
“Well he's staring at a bunch of papers wondering which ones to sign
Some say he can have the money if the others say he's lost his mind
He could really use the money cause he can't work anymore
His mind's too bent and his back's too broke. He says it's all caus of the war
He's having a beer and a cigarette It's not even twelve o' clock
When I walk in and, give him a hug and, we sit down to have a talk
He says you're looking more like your daddy son, each and every day
Boy, C'mon in and have a seat I've got some news that's come my way
Post traumatic stress disorder that's what the VA says I've got
I guess all them memories a’re finally stacked up from a war that everyone else forgot
I got this sickness down in my lungs son and my blood's running thin
Boy I think you're looking at the ghost of a Vietnam veteran
A'nd I've seen some good men go down ... and they say I'm the lucky one because I got to come back to town
It's been near forty years and I still can't shut the door
Just walking around in my own damn house as a Prisoner Of War
Yeah it's near forty years later, and there's another war in progress
There's stands another soldier with his own traumatic stress
He's driving a tank through the sand, watching all the destruction on the screen
He tells me it's all more like a video game with all the brand new technology
He says you know man I feel like I've aged twenty some odd years
It’s only been seven short months since I shipped my ass back over here
Cause they work us hard every day and every night. And I'm finding out it takes a whole lot of work to cover up stuff that just ain't right
You know I’ve seen some good men go down ... like Birch and Chavez from the first tank battalion
You know it’s a crying shame caus they will never be a settled score
Cause no matter whether we live or we die… we'll always be… Prisoners Of War”
Don’t forget to buy his cd. Don’t let real art die. Show your appreciation.

Don't forget to read Kathy Paysen's poetry. Reality art and author poetry is the best description for Kathy’s wonderful expression. Words fall short!
Benoît Arnaud Duval : “The beautiful author Kathy Paysen has joined my Fb(Well, a little while ago). Not often does on meet such a strong person. I am touched and honored. Her poems are real and classics are just paper. She goes beyond poetry by her sheer reality. She is the embodiment of her art.
Dear readers these poems are for everybody!

The band "Ex.Wave” shared link : “Hi Benoit! :)”
Benoît Arnaud Duval : “Thank you SWEETIE! I am guessing. Ah, life is sometimes too hot!”
Benoît Arnaud Duval : “Beautiful esoteric and spacy! Such a peaceful score. The beat reminds me slightly of Kruder & Dorfmeister. This song is much better. I shouldn't even mention them. It's bad publicity. What were they lacking? Some serious avant-gardness and insight!
It also has a painting quality to it somehow. Subliminal and surreal, ethical and soft off the bone(the beat), tantalizing and mesmerizing. More than great stuff! “Ex.Wave” is unique and groundbreaking. State of the art and modern in old Gaelic violin aperture in Italian moderata!”
Here’s another one. This one’s called”Supernova”. A gem upon the internet!

DNA and Crystal Art. Difficult to describe. Dark and Light. Great Stuff!

"Amsterdam is full of painters! "Commie" turned materialist or lady of lust or both? Sometimes life is too painful and one lands in Amsterdam in survival mood. Can you paint better? The picture says it all. Being an artist is not about technique."
"A new entry has been published on the Texian Space Port for your Soul! aka Ulysses V. It’s the place where I publish all my stuff. This one’s called”Season 6 continues on Ulysses V in Texan no-nonsense equilibrium’. Don’t forget to read it. I always publish in Fb as well, a day later. Thank you dear readers for reading.

“"Dear folks, people and friends! Haven't had time to look what you are all sharing. A new note has been published. This one's called"Season 6 on Ulysses V continues in Texan no-nonsense equilibrium". Don't forget to read it.
It's your Rumi incarnation in cold-blooded reality, your enfant terrible in "Einstein" mood, your one and only "Patton" of journalism who highlights Facebook's best, the best of the Planet, your Artist Universalis lost upon the bits and bytes of the internet, your resident apocalypse—true artist from all bloods running through your veins.
It's a pleasure to share with you and make new friends once in a while.
Together we can save the world. Democracy dear readers ensures our death! Use it with moderation. True artists have all the solutions. Nobody listens to them. It's time we do something about it!"”

"Well, People. It's Friday! Office hours closed. So got some catching up to do. Don't forget to read yesterday's entry on Ulysses V—the Texian Space Port for your Soul! Just yesterday it was too much for a reader of mine. He died in spirit! Well, well, well. People come and go. Clashes of ego. Sometimes the truth is too confronting. Don't forget to read the word, of the one and only Bukowski of the World Wide Web, on Ulysses V:"

So, People! Thank you for reading my stuff. And yes, some new Audio should be released by next Sunday, on request. It’s time consuming! As my website is seriously increasing its readers, it does make me happy that you read my word. You have found the Rumi of the 21st century. Once more: I get complaints from women generally. I love to write, I love to paint, I love music and actually most arts. So please don’t even bother trying to brainwash me. Those who have tried, eventually, got caught up in life, and fell in grace! Just read my word or listen to it:
