Collection of My Patriotic Poems Part One
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit and INTELLIGENCE of the citizens.
Joseph Story
1779-1845
Apathy's Door
Where has all the virtue gone
Since our Founders had their say?
Has it really, actually been that long
When Patriots owned the day?
Where is all the spirit now
To hold our country above all else?
Are we locked up in the lack of wow
With interest only in ourselves?
Where has all our knowledge been
Since the days they fought and prayed?
For the liberty that had come to them
In the Republic they had made?
Have we failed now our children
And sold their futures short?
Are we discouraged now in building
And have decided to abort?
Where is our Republic now?
Have we lost it forever more?
Is our spirit and our know how
Been checked at apathy's door?

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we should never choose, and that path is the path of surrender, or submission. John F. Kennedy
Ask Not
Ask not that we shall surrender
The freedom and spirit in our souls
T'was a gift from early countrymen
And the liberty that they chose
Ask not that we submit to forces
That polarize our ideals
Just because they subsidize our lives
With welfare and free meals
Ask not to become menial people
Whose hopes and dreams are dashed
Just because there were dishonest men
Who made our economy crash
Ask not that we trust our unions
Who grew rich from our sweating brow
To use their cash to influence our lives
Through the politicians they own now
Ask not that those who made us strong
Sacrifice their own stability
To let those who seek a hand out
Won't work to their ability
Ask not that government props us up
Please leave that to our faith
For we are a charitable people
That is what made this country great
Ask not, our elected leaders
How to entagle and regulate
Because now it's We The People
Who have cause to speculate
No longer will the people
Look away as laws are made
Because our elected people
Have failed to make the grade

THE PEOPLE are the masters of both congress and the courts, not to OVERTHROW the constitution, but to overthrow the MEN WHO PERVERT IT
Abe Lincoln
Congress
Come ye people to see
This is congress, it works for me
It is for your bidding it exists
If they seek more power we must resist
When you see laws mangled to advance a cause
It is then The People must take pause
They must keep the congress always in line
It is up to The People, the laws we define
Come ye people and understand
Congress is there at our command
You are the keepers of this institution
To uphold our sacred Constitution

YIPPIES, HIPPIES, YAHOOS, BLACK PANTHERS, LIONS AND TIGERS ALIKE...I WOULD SWAP THE WHOLE DAMN ZOO FOR THE KIND OF YOUNG AMERICANS I SAW IN VIETNAM.
~Spiro Agnew
1918-1996
Dressed For War
Agree
Disagree
But you have to support them
Open your hearts
Don't desert them
Love
Hate
Conscientiously Object
They are the targets sticking out their necks
Support the wars
Loathe them
They'd rather be home
Than in bunkers alone
Camouflage
Dress blues
Green fatigues
Or sand tan
They are there for the women
Children and man
Understand them
Don't abandon them
They could have been you
Would you have gone?
Coming home are too few.

REMEMBER UPON THE CONDUCT OF EACH DEPENDS THE FATE OF ALL.
Alexander the Great
356 BC-323 BC
Earning Our Republic
It comes right along with freedom
Our responsibility
In fact the ultimate fate we face
Is our accountability
Liberty doesn't come easy
It's for all of us to bear
It takes us all to pull together
A majority to care
When outside influence infiltrates
We all must answer the call
It's the threat of losing our freedom
That pertains to one and all
We'll live and pursue our happiness
But when it comes to one demand
When it comes down to our liberty
We all must take a stand
In a free society
We can take, but we must give
Take heart that with our founders' gift
We must earn the life we live

At the heart of the cyclone tearing the sky is a place of central calm.The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person.
Edwin Markham
AMERICAN POET ( I seem to love the Poets and the Greeks Philosophers!)
1852-1940 (born in Oregon City, Oregon) Lived most of his life in Stanton Island, NY.
Finding the Ties That Bind
Let not the turmoil be the root of your power
Like a cyclone tearing against the sky
Let not wrath design your finest hour
Don't let rage be what drives your high
Be the calm that attracts a world of hope
So the people around you live free
Of senseless acts of violence
That derails our harmony
Let patience and love be a stepping stone
Put your guns and knives away
React in peace and dignified discussion
To hold the civil wars at bay
Let God be the center of your calm
And the pillar to brace your soul
Be the lamb that eats from upon his palm
For he's the spirit to help love grow
Find common causes in which to build
Set the differences aside for awhile
Then you'll come to know what other hearts yield
And you'll hand in hand walk that peaceful mile

"We have a natural right to make use of our pens, of our tongue, at our peril, risk, and hazard."
Voltaire
Getting Back To Basics
When speaking of inalienable rights
Under the God of our own choosing
It never meant we bow to governments
One by one, our rights we're loosing
We were meant to be a republic
A nation of equal man
Laws were to protects our rights to be
All that we hope and can
Our government was never meant to bind,
Stifle, or restrain us
It was always meant to be our crutch
And never to refrain us
We can write the words of freedom
And shout liberty for ever more
Without fear of retribution
Or of lawmen at our door
As long as we are honorable
And can follow simple laws
Meant only to protect us
From others of evil cause
Throw out the restrictive amendments
Restore our national trust
Let regulations that bind us
Be ashes in the dust
Re-read the words of our foundation
Don't re-write our Constitution
For if your hearts are for freedom pure
Our hope's our contribution

I am the people, the mob, the crowd, the mass. Do you know that all great work of the world is done through me?
Carl Sandburg
1878-1967
American Writer, Editor & Poet
It's Me
I am The People of this great land
I love my liberty, please understand
We are free to gather near and far
This country is who The People are
I am the mob that comes to gather
To have my say, work up a lather
When the mobs are present with their signs
This mob is me, for yours and mine
The greatness done throughout this land
Is done through me, we're hand in hand
We were built from scratch fueled by patriot blood
We're all flowers grown, an American bud
I am the crowd on election day
Free to vote the American way
We're all we know and who we'll be
I am the American and you are me.

I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments of the Declaration of Independence.
Abraham Lincoln
February 22,1861 @ Independence Hall.
Look To Abe
He revered the Declaration of Independence
As his political Bible
And all that he stood for
Was his country and its survival
He stood tall above his people
But it was on level ground
Freedom for all was his one true hope
In his Presidency it was found
He was a man who should be looked to
As our country begins to crumble
As The People blame each other
In ideology they rumble
Please look to Abe for guidence
He respected his fellow man
The Declaration of Independence
Held tightly in his hand

Abe Lincoln...a rare quote...
"Lets have faith that right makes might; and that faith lets us, to the end, dare do our duty as we understand it."
Our Duty
A husband has a duty
To be faithful to his wife
A mother's duty to her children
She has for all her life
A soldier does his duty
To protect us how he can
It is the duty of everyone
To have faith in fellow man
A country has a duty
To represent us to what end
They must uphold our laws
And be there to defend
If we understand our duty
Then we'll realize our cause
And hope that our morality
Is free from major flaws

The essential characteristics of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. The history of the West from the age of the Greek polis down to the present day resistance to socialism is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachment of the office holder.
Ludwig Von Mises
1881-1973
Our Paper
Back in the days of Jefferson
And all the Fathers who wrote
Our beloved Constitution
And stood for freedom's vote
They stood to set the west apart
From a kingdom's stifling rule
And where best do our founders start
But to write this crowning jewel
It has thrived in our best interest
Putting liberty to the test
Stood clearly for its inference
There has been no need to guess
There are those who try to rewrite it
For more power they explore
But Patriots stand to decry it
It's ours for evermore

from Daniel Webster...
"The contest for the ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power"
Storytime
Once upon a time there was
Freedom and that is because
Of what the faithful citizen does
In respect to not annoy the fuzz
Laws were to protect us from
Being the vicims of just anyone
We are allowed to own a gun
For protection or just target fun
Crooks that failed to step in line
Got jail or perhaps a fine
We're allowed to keep what's yours and mine
And post a private property sign
Then comes the progressives with their laws
To use the taxes as their claws
They succeeded and that was because
We failed to act like a patriot does
Little Red Riding hood looked away
And took the shortcut on that day
The big bad wolf then had his say
And feasted on a grand fillet
The legislators have set retrictions
On folks who never gave them friction
They subsize the ones with true addictions
Who working is their last intention
Then came the patriots on their horses
With a steadfast aim to set new courses
Get our reps from more honorable sources
No longer shall we have remorses
Amid the free and spirited laughter
The Americans lived for ever after

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists---to protect them and to promote their common welfare, all else is lost.
Barack Obama
Tell Me Your Plans
How does this president interpret the role
His Government was created to play?
It was not in place to save every soul
Micromanage their every waking day
It exists to protect us but not to neglect us
The People who contribute their part
It is not to enable those not willing to work
Who have taken entitlements to an art
It was meant to represent us, our will to proceed
Not to regulate our every waking hour
It was not to endebt us, and totally bind us
To the maximum of their taxable power
Dear Mr. Obama, I ask you this question
In all of my sincerity
Is it your idea that your hope for transformation
Is to collapse our capitalists society?
Do you want us encumbered, liberties now numbered
Like birds in a nest waiting to be fed?
Is you social justice that you want thrust upon us
Based on entitlements from birth til we're dead?
Do you see The Constituion as an ancient paper
Not worth the ink it was written?
Or will you as President continue to honor it
Along with the reps on The Hill that are sittin'?
Do you see us beholding to Chinese intervention
As our debt will continue to climb?
Do you see this country as yours and forgetting
It is also supposed to be mine?

Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness, of captivity, would, without this comfort, be unsupportable.
Samuel Johnson
The Comfort of Our Success
I have known the comfort of freedom
I have treasured it as well
Without this comfort, in poverty
I may have descended to hell
I have known the feeling of sickness
And liberty has cured my ills
For the freedom to choose my doctors
Is a comfort to me still
I have witnessed those in captivity
The innocents that should never be
But have comfort that in our society
We have possessed the right to be free
If misery shall befall our people
Our unalienable rights would prevail
We'll recover with the comfort in knowing
Our Republic is not one to fail

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of their life; define yourself.
Harvey Fierstein
We Shall Survive
In the wake of terror we shuddered
Became victims to their murderous desires
But then their most hideous step had been taken
It renewed our patriotic fires
They shall never again cause our silence
And try to define our lives as their own
We have risen as a united nation
Their agendas like our buildings are blown
All we Americans have most in common
Is our will to live and thrive
At the cost of terrorists lives we'll continue
As a republic to survive

The next quote is also from Abe:
QUOTE
I have understood well that the duty of SELF PRESERVATION rests SOLELY with the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
January 19, 1863, from a letter to Working men of England.
What It Will Take
It will not be the politicians
It will not be the money
It will never be none other
Than The People for this country to survive
We will flounder as a country
If we remain at odds
It will take all The People
For this country to thrive

"It was self-serving politicians who convinced recent generations of Americans that we could all stand in a circle with our hands in each others pockets and somehow get rich."
Paul Harvey
Where?
Do you understand the class wars?
Are you privy to the cause?
I blame the politicians.
Who we trust to make our laws.
Are they in DC to serve us
Or line their pockets with gold?
Why do we sit so timidly
And refuse to question bold
Who has given others permission
To intrude into our savings
Whenever they have overspent
Or have come to have new cravings?
Who started this game of round table
Where you need no winning hand
To take the money from the pot
Just at someones rude demand
Where has the pride of accomplishment gone?
Why don't the people learn
That what a man's entitled to
Is the dollars he will earn?
Where has our view of Government gone
From when they would uphold the Constitution
They've grown to have more power
Than before the Revolution
Where will We The People stand
Over taxed and under control?
Where have all the Patriots gone
Who made this country whole?

The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.
Mark Twain
Whose Who
Life is a party with costumes galore
Yesterday was tomorrow, once before
Confusion and indecison are the thought of the day
Everyone is insisting they will have their way
Breads are buttered on that side or this
Each way you turn it, it's about your own bliss
Some will like coffee, others like tea
Some will exist just pretending to be
There are good guys and bad guys, we all know it's true
Who is to say if it's that one or you?
Guns can be evil in the hands of the bad
There are people in asylums who aren't really mad
Patriots and traitors are living next door
In each row of houses there is always one more
Who fits the profile, you really can't see
Until that thief has taken what made us all free

Collection of My Political Poems Part One
Eric Hoffer 1902-1983
2008-2012 The Odyssey
It is a system of positive policies
Not supposed to be regulations galore
But politicians with agendas
Have more laws they are looking for
Taxes upon taxes are required
By a Republic now a caricature
Regulations upon regulations
How much more can patriots endure?
A simple thirteen pages
Meant to guide us through our lives
Now mountains of papers, not ever read
Have let our policies easy to despise
Tax laws bent and shaped in time
To favor some more than others
Success is rewarded with penalties
Twas not the wishes of our forefathers
Elections fixed by billionaires
A quest to feed their greed for power
It's no wonder We The People's taste
For our government has turned sour
Elected officials on golden strings
Held by a billionaire puppeteer
Have undermined our liberty
We are losing it, I fear
Unions strangling our economy
Manufacturers fleeing for capital gains
Why civil workers get higher benefits
Could someone please explain?
Pork for special interest groups
Bailouts for companies failing
While folks are fighting to save their homes
Amid white water they are flailing
Wars are fought half-heartedly
The generals have their hands tied
As we feed and clothe the enemies
Shooting from the other side
State side terror is increasing
Planes and buildings are no longer safe
Yet we stand on political correctness
Condoning the violent Jihad faith
DC is suing the states for laws
They have made to protect their own
As millions of illegals rip their economies
And it's obviously known
No reason should we profile
For feelings it may scar
Our police are labeled racist
If they stop an Hispanics car
Farmers on the borders
Are murdered by the thugs
Coming to our country
In the hope of selling their drugs
It took billions of good Americans
To elect our President was not hard
But if anyone questions his policies
They play the old race card
This poem could go on forever
Naming the mountains we've been asked to move
But if we asked for policies to be granted
The Administration would never approve

Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will to action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.
Arthur Gordon
Apathy and Acceptance
Turn your back, release your mind
From any turmoil borne in time
Evil is as evil does
It's not your problem "just because!"
An apathetic soul can let you know
Why all this agony will come and go
It's here, there's nothing that can be done
Behind the strength of anyone
Let apathy control your journey
It'll drown out your righteous fury
They will meet in basements and complain
In contempteous groups they will remain
Never will there be a hero
Hope for revitalization zero
Apathetics hold no charm
Too frozen in now to even twist your arm
Acceptance Is an enemy
To anyone who had hoped would be
What happens now, had happened then
Just accept the fact we never win
Passed laws are loathed and critisized
Dirty politicans are most despised
Can acceptance be the fatal stake
Impaled into changes we refuse to make?

Hadith Al Bohkari vol 9:57 "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, KILL HIM."
From Surg 5:51 Koran "O ye believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them for friendship is of them. This friendship makes ANY Muslim an enemy of their own and deserving the same fate as the unbeliever. This is because God (Allah) does not guide unjust people.
Mohammed said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah. (Bukhari vol 4:196)
a quote from one of the leaders of the Taliban...
"Those youths who did what they did destroyed America with their airplanes, they have done a good deed. There are thousands of youth who look forward to death like the Americans look forward to living."
At Allah's Direction?
How can they say it was a good deed
That day on nine one one?
The only good that was done that day
Was to unite the Americans
People of all faiths and creed
Left their families forever
When can such terror be justified?
I am here to tell you "Never!"
Just because they look at death
In their faith as celebratory
The faith the westerners hold so close
Is by far another story
We hold close to our hearts our families
Our celebrate our creation
Who says it's right in an other's eyes
To terrorize entire nations
I will not stand to be victimized
And killed at their slightest whim
Because their Allah has proclaimed
It's their duty to do us in

QUOTE
A disordered currency is one of the greatest political evils.
Cash Control
Willing, we are, to pay our way
But we also wanted to have our say
Now the people elected and we thought were trusted
Have gone and gotten our economy busted
Spending more to try to get even
Redistributing all to folks who're grievin'
Putting brick upon brick on those who earned
Who now hold back 'cause they're concerned
Our economics tilt to the far left side
What our founders built is on the slide
Government now controls the old purse strings
And parasites wait in the wings

The press should not be only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.

Corrupt The Media
Organize the masses
Use your beloved press passes
Be the arm of trumoil mixing
Agitating instead of fixing
Be the liar to the classes
Take your game, and stow it
Play the race card like you know it
Use your voice to spread the hate
In the media you infiltrate
Let loose and overflow it
Spread your propaganda well
Truth is something you won't sell
Be the arm of those in power
Command the newstime hour
Believe the lies in which you tell
Come forth with Meda Matters
George Soros and today's mad hatters
You know you own MSNBC
And for PBS you pay your fee
Your billions spent have made them fatter
Bring forth the teachings of Vladimir
The Socialists agendas are rising here
Corrupt the media and spread your word
It's the only way that you'll be heard
Hold this country at bay with fear
Once the media is totally corrupt
There is nowhere else for you than up
Feed the talking heads what you want them to say
Set the table the same old way
Then happily drink from your Socialist cup

Not just weak chest beaters
Who soon will lose our faith
They'll allow our enemies access
No courage to hold them back
They'll run before the facts are in
Their decision making lacks
Wicked men have been leaders
But are defeated and run aground
But weaker men can hide the truth
Until calamities come around
We cannot allow them power
Unlimited while we sleep
Be it wicked men or weaker men
They made promises they must keep
They must stand for our protection
Represent our country's power
Unfit for that which makes us bold
Is a leader who will cower

We do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorist. We invite terrorism by ignoring them."
George W. Bush
Don't Ignore Them!
As terror creeps across our land
And our fears are leading us by the hand
Under the covers he shiver and shake
Can this be the biggest mistake?
Burning buildings, crashing planes
Truley they must be insane!
Perhaps evil is a much better dipiction
A slanted source of their's faith's affliction
Strapping bombs to children and women
Growing new terrorists by hoards in Yemen
Peaceful vacations can be disrupted
By American youth by Islam corrupted
We all awoke on Nine One One
Something about terror must now be done
Ignoring them will only raise the bar
To see how devasting their people are

Entitlement
Imagine life so stifling
If you can never leave your nest
Watching life going on around you
Because you never passed the test
Momma bird will feed you, true
As your beak is open wide
But you'll never have the freedom
Nor will you ever feel the pride
Someday will the winds prevail
And momma bird never returns?
You had never been taught to fly

Sitting in your cozy nests
You watch the world pass you by
But there's no one left to feed you
It is now your time to die

"Terrorism has become the systematic weapon of war that knows no border or seldom has a face.
Jacques Chirac
Evil Has No Face
They make Freddy Krueger look like a long lost friend
Their evil will never expire
We may awake to the sun and blessings of each day
Then wind up a part of a terroists fire
They can be the neighbor boy you watched grow
Gone to Yeman and returned to kill
Measures taken to keep us safe
Can be infiltrated and always will
The grocer you thought was a very fine fellow
A Middle Eastern man of dignity
Has drawn his gun to fire and kill
We never realized his true identity
A Radical Muslim in our military ranks
An Army Major with a Psyche degree
Through political correctness he was ignored
He shot servicemen one...two... three
Anthrax virus mailed to upstanding folks
Via our American postal delivery
Terror has no face to conceal
There's no bounds to their creativity
Bombs set afire in his underwear
On a Christmas flight he rode
Thanks to passengers being aware
No devastation would unfold
Planes were boarded on one fine fall day
In an act that was the final straw
Crashed into buildings killing loved ones
It united us against them all
Come the decision to build a mosque
In the shadow of the towers
They say it is a peaceful act
But inside it shows their powers
Bombs in shoes and carried by children
No one is ever really safe
It can be a shopping mall or hometown church
Evil has no face

Fool's World
Who is to know what is in a fool's heart?
Apathy, perhaps, does ignorance play a part?
Is it easier to turn a back than to face the way it goes?
Is a fool just afraid because what deep inside he knows?
Can one watch the daily news and show no reaction?
Is it much too difficult than to insist on satisfaction?
Having coffee in the serenity of a kitchen's morning light
Being oblivious to what has gone on while you're sleeping through the night
What is a fool, when all is said and done?
Are they locked in a reality not including everyone?
Do their stars line up because they only hope they do?
Is it foolish to think of others, or only just of you?
Children playing as they're growing is infinitely acceptabe
So is education that can make them more adaptable
Should we teach them only that amid the flowers we will thrive
Or that it takes some paricipation to even hope that we survive?
They say a fool and his money are parted way too soon
It must hold true to dignity of hapless far out loons
He won't give and she won't budge, we're obviously lost
While the fools will play their games at everybody's cost

"If you know your enemy and know yourself you need not FEAR the results of a hundred battles."
Sun Tzu
For Peace
If you know your enemy and realize your power
Fear will not invade your finest hour

When peace is your highest priority
You still must defend it with superiority
Sometimes peace in the truest sense
Is holding your power with a good defense

Bukhari v4b52n311 There is no immigration after the conquest of Mecca, but only jihad. When you are called by the Muslim ruler for jihad fighting, you should go forth immediately, responding to the call.
Muslim:c28bzon4631, Koran: Allah's apostle said: I heard Muhammad say: I would not stay behind when a raid for jihad was being mobilized unless it was going to be too hard on the believers. I love that I should be killed in Allah's cause, and they are slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.
From the Mouth of The Jihad
We know not peace, only retribution
Allah has ordered destruction to those
Not willing to Jihad, in absolution
Our hate forever grows
Come forth to battle and give your lives
For it is the words in the Koran
Be it guns and bombs and sometimes knives
To kill is our Allah's demand
Non believers shall live no more
Prepare to meet your fate
For the Jihad is knocking at your door
And our resolve is more than great

From Within
Ride on the wagon sound asleep
Leave the journey to the beasts in harness
Are you so certain that the course they will keep
Will bring you home in earnest?
Leave the map, take no direction
Use your memory to find your way
What will happen if you don't ask questions?
With your liberty you might pay
Live your life in trust of others
Accept the laws they make at their will
Turn your back on your founding fathers
You'll find your enemies on Capitol Hill
Say what you must about the countries against us
But they are not the ones to fear
Your freedom will be lost by those you trust
You thought you'd never see it happening here

QUOTE
The main obstacle to the World Order is the United States.
George Soros
His Evil Plan
Comes the Spooky Dude with his power of money
Bent on souring our milk and honey
A new world order is his sole desire
Come on, Americans, raise your ire
Under our flag red, white, and blue
Soros is determined to now control you
He'll rally 'round dependent ne'er do wells
Who for entitlements their souls they sell
Socialism is his state of mind
His money empowers those of his kind
In a collapsed economy he will bring us crashing
Those who tried will be forever thrashing
Gone will be the American dream
For those who won't prosper, gone the gleam
Either we fall to Soros longtime plan
Or draw our line in the proverbial sand
Reject the coping with government funds
Renew the hoping, new spirit begun
Stand in the light of the Constitution
Shoot down the idea of redistribution

Love Trumps Fear
To fear is to expect punishment. To love is to know that we are immersed not in darkness but in light.
~Mother Teresa
Love Trumps Fear
Living under thunder clouds
When the only intermittent light
Are the streaks that create the blast
Of the thunder's perceived might
Waiting under the covers
Or maybe in the cellars where we flee
Hoping the clouds don't find their fury
Throwing funnel clouds a me
Expecting the worse
We sometimes cower
Knowing what was sweet
Has turned sour
Love has been known to buffer
Whatever fear holds you at bay
The strength of love like sunshine's power
Is enough to chase the clouds away

The Search For Bin Laden
It's easy to miss something you're not looking for.
The Search For Bin Laden
In a decade of aftermath he was not forgotten
The evil that shook us on that day
In the name of Jihad he came knocking
Sending his evil followers our way
They hijacked planes at their own discretion
Misunderstanding their precious Koran
In they came from each direction
Intent to kill the Americans
We vowed to track him down, your see
He took to hiding in the desert caves
Alive or dead is how it would be
We sent our soldiers proud and brave
The evil has cast no real reflection
He stealthily is hidden in plain sight
Ten years now we renew our mission
We've found him now the time is right
Helecopters of Navy SEALS swoop in
There is nowhere left for the evil to hide
Bravely now the search begins
As our proud Navy bursts right inside
He takes cover behind a wife
One of many the evil had wed
"Surrender or we'll take your life!"
They did it with a shot to the head
He thought that time would end our resolve
And we would not find him behind that door
But we would not let this remain unsolved
We had found who we'd been looking for

From Within
America will never be destroyed by the outside. If we falter and loose our freedoms, it will be because we've destroyed ourselves.
~Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865
From Within
Ride on the wagon sound asleep
Leave the journey to the beasts in harness
Are you so certain that the course they will keep
Will bring you home in earnest?
Leave the map, take no direction
Use your memory to find your way
What will happen if you don't ask questions?
With your liberty you might pay
Live your life in trust of others
Accept the laws they make at their will
Turn your back on your founding fathers
You'll find your enemies on Capitol Hill
Say what you must about the countries against us
But they are not the ones to fear
Your freedom will be lost by those you trust
You thought you'd never see it happening here

Tell Us Your Plans
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists---to protect them and to promote their common welfare, all else is lost.
Barack Obama
Tell Me Your Plans
How does this president interpret the role
His Government was created to play?
It was not in place to save every soul
Micromanage their every waking day
It exists to protect us but not to neglect us
The People who contribute their part
It is not to enable those not willing to work
Who have taken entitlements to an art
It was meant to represent us, our will to proceed
Not to regulate our every waking hour
It was not to endebt us, and totally bind us
To the maximum of their taxable power
Dear Mr. Obama, I ask you this question
In all of my sincerity
Is it your idea that your hope for transformation
Is to collapse our capitalists society?
Do you want us encumbered, liberties now numbered
Like birds in a nest waiting to be fed?
Is you social justice that you want thrust upon us
Based on entitlements from birth til we're dead?
Do you see The Constituion as an ancient paper
Not worth the ink it was written?
Or will you as President continue to honor it
Along with the reps on The Hill that are sittin'?
Do you see us beholding to Chinese intervention
As our debt will continue to climb?
Do you see this country as yours and forgetting
It is also supposed to be mine?

Look To Abe
Abraham Lincoln
February 22,1861 @ Independence Hall.
Look To Abe
He revered the Declaration of Independence
As his political Bible
And all that he stood for
Was his country and its survival
He stood tall above his people
But it was on level ground
Freedom for all was his one true hope
In his Presidency it was found
He was a man who should be looked to
As our country begins to crumble
As The People blame each other
In ideology they rumble
Please look to Abe for guidence
He respected his fellow man
The Declaration of Independence
Held tightly in his hand

Destiny
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Jean De La Fontaine
1621-1695
Destiny
Choice Is but a state of mind
A misconception of the truth
Free will was offered from days behind
Meant to lead us through our youth
Paths were ahead, to avoid or take
It was for ourselves to ponder
Trying to trick our destiny for our own sake
Taking different roads to wander
Free will is but a carrot
On a string to lead us ahead
The key is not to parrot
But individuality is ours instead
Whatever fate confronts us
Still leads to Heavens door
Whatever road is your destiny
Shall be traveled forever more

Value
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something suffers damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.
Barbara Bloom
Value
Broken treasures, just ordinary at one point in time
Revered for the history it represents
Repaired with golden loving care
Set high upon a pedestal
Broken hearts, of ordinary people
Once loved, or so they thought
Broken hearts can be repaired
With some one's golden touch
Something once loved, someone once loved
Important in some point in history
Repaired because it is something or someone
That once had made an impression
Something is never nothing, someone is never no one
Meaningful is every thing and being
To someone who loved and treasured it
And put them high on pedestals

Trust
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
Trust
Trust is an experiment to be proven or lost
You have to be willing to pay what it cost
If trust is true and proven to survive
The bond with that person forever will thrive
If your trust is misplaced and your heart is broken
Take in in earnest that fate has now spoken
If your feelings are some of complete devastation
It's not you who has tarnished your own reputation
When the one you had trusted has broken his vow
And you're left with the pieces forever and now
Be proud that you'd given his word half a chance
Let him have what he sees as his victory dance

Ourselves
Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.
Oscar Wilde
1854-1900
Irish poet, novelist dramatist
Ourselves
We like to see ourselves as part of something
We bask in inclusion in a group
But individually we have our own values
Step proudly, or see how low you can stoop
We are stronger in the herd, we feel protected
But individually must realize
Are we really dedicated to the good of us all
Or will we cut each other down to size?
We must stand for our values, be silent no more
Even if your friends have locked their doors
Because it's faith in yourself that delivers your soul
To what God promised as your reward
Marian

When Friends Flee
Even when it seems your friends are leaving
When you see their backs as they walk away
Faith in God will take you through your grieving
Even when tears flow freely as you pray
When your hands shake and your stomach is in a knot
Over the friends you've no longer got
God will always steadfastly remain
And over time help ease your pain
Marian
