Living in a Fantasy

"People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown."

The drama is our security

Our welcome personal impurity

Our minds and hearts are unemployed

If we spend time living to avoid

With no problems to be solved

There is no reason to evolve

Because there's nothing negative here

Just sit there grinning ear to ear

If you like living in a vacuum

Or existing off in Neptune

And life is never in disarray

Your world is just a shade of gray

Perpetual Happiness is Madness

"Did perpetual happiness in the garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?"

Can people be so happy?

Should we exist at the amusement park?

Will the glee become so sappy

Some would welcome the eerie darkness?

There is no such thing as perpetual bliss

To try to achieve it is denial

Challenges really do exist

It's just part of our survival

Should you insist your life's completely

Void of any normal upheaval

You are living life obliquely

And your madness is for real

Subsidies

Ronald Reagan once said "the government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."

NOT ALL VOTER'S CHOICES ARE WISE

One more quote from Hitler's minister of propaganda..."We have made the Reich by propaganda." Gobbels

Not All Voter's Choices Are Wise

The people adored him and found him charming

They didn't see the evil he was harboring

They drove his success and made their selection

By a landslide he won the election

His darkness was revealed in the power

He soon made his followers cower

Obsessed with creating his perfect regime

He murdered the ones not part of his dream

Yes Hitler was the people's choice

They cheered him at the top of their voices

He hid well his evil disguise

Can it be not all voter's choices are wise?

Feeding the Lies

Here is a quote from Martha Gellhorn who was a war reporter who married Hemmingway (for 5 years" "Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was honey, appetizing,: ...a habit."

Feeding the Lies

Like cherry flavored medicine

And candy coated pills

Lies can be disguised

We never get our fill

Propaganda spread by fairies

That so innocently we trust

Are really bitter lies

That should bring forth our disgust

When we recognize the wrapping

Hides agendas that will harm us

We will search for the reality

And the truth will adequately arm us

In His Own Mind

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Winston Churchill 1874-1965

In His Own Mind

Reality is often too hard to face

One can alter who he appears to be

So ordinary life is then replaced

With a life of his own fantasy

Once living in lies becomes his way

Reality is lost in time

The person he is trying to convey

Is just lies and truth combined

If perhaps, the righteous truth

Would try to block his way

He demands that life show him the proof

His false self he will again portray

Those who knew him well agree

He has become one they no longer know

They avoid the person he pretends to be

Without him they chose to go

The Threat

I have seen the rise and fall of Nazi tyranny, the subsequent cold war and the nuclear nightmare that for 50 years haunted the dreams of children everywhere. During that time my generation defeated totalitarianism and as a result, your world is poised for a better tomorrow. What will you do on your journey?

In the fifties the threat of Communism

Had even children aware

Of the danger lurking in the shadows

The apprehension was in the air

Bomb shelter plans were talked about

Some were built and stocked

Schools practiced air raid drills

In case devastating bombs were dropped

Come Presidents Kennedy and Reagan

Who confronted our enemies head on

Contentious walls were crumbled

The fear was finally gone

Then Obama was elected

A historical event

A black president was selected

People applauded in his ascent

Who would have guessed George Soros

And Alinski would pull the strings

And use this radical's presidency

To perpetuate evil things

We the People have foes in media

The patriots have a battle ahead

To depose the Socialist Obama regime

Who on our rights have tread
