Life Behind Bars

Strade Bianche Memories accrue
Meeting you ...
Sharp dives into white, frothy roads
Shifting, twisting, churning
Pools of shifting stone
Feeling blessed, pushing for home
Lime-washed silt, going at full tilt
Caked-on, grinding gears
Sticky beige muck, bearings screeching filling our ears
Mud-encrusted, producing that sound
SIENA BOUND
Epic moments across Tuscan ground

Emotions rise, Le Tolfe done
10k to go, Santa Caterina to come
Cheering crowds, kisses, "¡VAMOS!"
WELL DONE, Piazza del Campo
Tears, broken bikes and gears
Spirits soar, it's done
Strade Bianche 26
Matteo Marine and Amedeo
Thank you and well done

Views . Incredible

Trump so angry
With venom in every I
VANCE SO NASTY
IT was a revealing insight

THEY CORNERED AND POKED
INSULTED AND STOKED
THE fires of MAGA
As they when for the throat

THEY HAVE SIDED WITH THE DEVIL
DOING his WILL
INSULTING and animalistic
Getting there thrill

IT WAS UGLY AND Grotesque
As they went for the kill
BUT ONE MAN STOOD TALL
Their integrity nill

Zelensky so brave
As they attacked with intent
There intimidation and vitriol
To sign their covenant

Insulted, bullied, laughed at and bruised
Zelensky showed the world what good people have to do .

To fight against the bully
Truth to power uncover
WHAT A TIERENT Trump is
Putins big brother
