Urged to Wars

"Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric."

Thomas Sowell 1930

URGED TO WARS

As we go about our daily lives

Acting gladly on our free will

Onward to our goals we strive

We should remember still

The ultimate sacrifices made

By our embattled military

On foreign soils they have stayed

For wars that mar our history

In peace time we can only pray

That no rhetoric politicians can muster

Can bring more wars from things they say

In war mongering filibusters

Discovery and Being There

WALT WHITMAN. He lived 1819-1892

"Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me."

DISCOVERY

Too long I had been the rug on the floor

Just asking to be walked on by superior feet

Far too long I hid behind my door

Fearing contact with better people I might meet

Then I met the real me

A warrior destined to conquer my fears

My existence was meant to be

I am equal among my peers

A difference I can truely make

With my courage of a lion and warm heart

It was just that first step I needed to take

And with introspection found a place to start

~~

We convince by our presence.

BEING THERE

Be not a face in the crowd

Be not a whisper among the shouting

Stand out and be loud

Be not the one there doubting

Be part of the solution to adversity

Be a citizen that would make the founders proud

Be an influence that marks eternity

You are the stand out in the crowd

Recharged

"Solitude is very different from time out from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows. Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places were we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other."

Henri Nouwen

RECHARGED

There is this place I go where no one is allowed

But me

I tag it in my heart as hallowed ground

You see

My thoughts are free to wander

Into the clear blue yonder

Souls need time to heal

Don't you agree?

This place is only open to myself

Sometimes I cry

It is where problems are put away up on a shelf

So I can fly

I float in utter silence

Escaping all the violence

You may think it sounds so silly but it helps

When I return its like rebirth

I feel renewed

My purpose on this earth

I have reviewed

Before that day I felt like nothing

But now I'm back and I am something

Rejoicing in the dreams I will pursue

Two patriotic poems

"There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty that makes human nature rise above itself in acts of bravery and heroism." Alexander Hamilton

FEELING BEING AMERICAN

Have you ever gotten goosebumps when the National Anthem is sung?

Have you ever felt a lump in your throat as you watch the American flag hung?

Have you had to question your liberty in the recent days gone by

Have you started watching the nightly news with tears and question why?

Were you front and center in line to vote no matter what the issue?

Does a twenty-one gun salute leave you reaching for a tissue?

Does our history move you to great feelings of pride?

Do you understand once our freedom is gone, there is nowhere you can hide?

Is there a point that you will tolerate no more political games?

Have you gotten fed up with politicians calling each other names?

Do you know the system is breaking, or have you buried your head in the sand?

Do you understand We the People have the right to make demands?

Won't you read the Constitution and again give it a try?

Instead of living a life of apathy and watching your country die?

"When the sword is drawn the passions of man observe no bounds of moderation."

Alexander Hamilton 1744-1804

WARS TO PEACE

Passions rise to a crescendo as battle lines are drawn

When it comes to whether freedom will be won or lost

Peace becomes expensive when we sacrifice our own

But throughout history we have not hesitated to bear the cost

Our children and theirs become our obsession

When we see their liberty at stake

We ultimately choose to fight off an enemy's aggression

It has been throughout history the choice we had to make

And we've never balked at fighting for freedom's sake

We Own the Consequences

"It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one’s acts."

Mahatma Ghandi

WE OWN THE CONSEQUENCES

Kick the puppy and run outside

Blame your brother then go and hide

Escape the consequences with blatant lies

"I didn't do it!" The perpetrator cries

Our government now in in that role

Division is a vital goal

Blame another then lie and moan

Is this an action we can condone?

Shoot the patriot between the eyes

With more outrageous outright lies

They base their actions on hope and change

But are we prepared for what their hope will bring?

We own the consequences if we stand by

Accepting without question each alibi

Freedom lost is all there will be

As we surrender our long earned liberty

Corruption in America

"A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody."

Thomas Paine

GOODBYE ERIC HOLDER

Say goodbye to Eric Holder

The most corrupt attorney general this country has ever known

His tenure made this country much colder

And his negative impact should be etched in stone

THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA

There has come a time in our history

That corruption is no mystery

Vast examples of ideological tasks

Done by devils in patriot masks

Hope and change was not meant for us

We are being stripped of IN GOD WE TRUST

Selfish goals of socialist perpetrators

Have proved them as great separators

They make daily life wallow in continuing strife

Division is their tool, their gun and knife

Blacks against whites against yellows against reds

Terrorist lopping off the hostages' heads

Women persuaded to go to war

Against normal practices they now abhor

They are convinced they are being singled out

Mistreated and not literally being tossed about

Demands for freebies at an all time high

Suffering taxpayers asking why?

The cupboards of layabouts are fully stocked

While those who work hit a financial roadblock

Terror looming in the streets

Now homeland cities will take the heat

A passive president throws stones and lies

Watching  as Christians and the Jewish die

Global warming has his focus

Although many Americans call it bogus

A round or two of golf each day

Won't keep the country's problems at bay

Corruption in the IRS

Deflecting blame is what they do best

Rewarded with a major health care role

The IRS is in firm control

Indoctrination in our schools

American history is now for fools

Our children are learning the socialist way

We the People dependant more each day

I could go on but your eyes would bleed

Should we allow this administration to succeed?

Lambs in need, shall we be?

Or bold providers with liberty?

Controlled By Lies

"When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated."

Michael Ende 1929-1995

CONTROLLED BY LIES

For those who wish to call the shots

From unscrupulous leaders to crooked cops

There's no better tools in their box

Than the lies they tell to skew your thoughts

People rely on beliefs, you see

And rely on their peer's integrity

Their thoughts are morphed not logically

And they are drawn into the liar's insanity
