Cheerfully Seeking Truth

"Curiosity endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in their own mode of life which springs from their cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will." Alister Cooke 1908-2004 British/American journalist / broadcaster

Cheerfully Seeking Truth

Newspaper headlines can make me furious

But I never let what they say knock me on my heels

The more controversy expands it just makes me curious

And I drive my opinions ahead when my facts have wheels

How self assured can someone feel

Toting verified truth as ammunition?

I just know it is with facts my replies reveal

My stance requires no admonition

The Devil made Me Do It

."Never let a man imagine that he can pursue a good end by evil means without sinning against his own soul. The evil effect on himself is certain." .Robert Southy

The Devil made Me Do It

Once an evil road is traveled

And evil friends embraced along the way

Once you sit for whisky with Satan

And have forgotten how to pray

The stink of evil is on you

Seldom will it wash away

Once you have used evil to perpetuate your deeds

Through you the devil has his say

FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE

"All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into things." Robert Southly

Foot in Mouth Disease

How many toes must he lose, I wonder

Seeing his bloody socks, what's under?

It's easy to see he's a crook

He keeps shooting himself in the foot!

For him it's so easy to lie

Be truthful? He won't even try

So many untruths he espoused

He lives with his foot on his mouth

Home

Home

The walls absorbed our laughter

Protected us as we slept

Now we are bound forever after

Knowing the memories it kept

It holds in its past the footsteps

Now echoing in Heaven's halls

Underneath the many upgrades

Is our character on the walls

Trees we planted together

Now tower above the yard

The memories of the games we played

Are not easy to discard

Don't laugh that we drive by

And slow down to take a look

It is our own best seller

In our family's only book

State of the Union

There we stood under colors waving

Proud to fight in each war engaged

A country like ours was well worth saving

Violence set upon us had our folks enraged

Come now an administration to apologise

To those who perpetuated terror on our soil

When will the President realize

Acts against us should make our blood boil?

Their jihad waged against we infidels

In the name of their God. Allah

Is truely indefensible

And should not be our brouhaha

We stand to defend Afghanistan

Against terrorists who kill our own

We send them all the soldiers and money we can

An act in itself we should not condone

Amid scandals they try to turn our heads

With lies and more deception

Our media goes with them instead

Of asking pertinent questions

Are gone the times we used to brag?

Is the nanny state prevailing?

How many now refuse to salute our flag?

Is our patriotism still unfailing?

There came terrorist in the night at Benghazi

Who murdered four of our own men

Our leaders still cannot see

Help was available and should have been flown in

The IRS is the President's arm

To choke the life from his political foes

The justice department does our champions harm

As for the NSA, big brother knows

We are hostages to the flow of oil

To Arab countries with malice to bear

We can find it readily in our own soil

And shed the dependency, aren't we aware?

In closing I challenge all Americans

To open their eyes to our destruction

It's time to become good Samaritans

And end Obama's disruption

Revaluation

"The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy." Florence Scovel Shinn (wrote the book THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY 1925)

Revaluation

Past events of your making return

Memories good and bad etched into your soul

Past indiscretions can't be overturned

As your lies and deception unfold

Did you not think we'd unmask your conspiracy

That your allegiance to the flag would bring doubt

In a matter if time you revealed your transparency

Distorting the facts was what you were about

Americans stand as your agendas emerge

We will take back our country or else

It's time we took back that which you've taken charge

And thought you had won with such stealth

We the People had this revelation

We were losing the reins of the steed we once trusted

It is up to us now to ensure restoration

Obama, your scheme has been busted

BRINGING DOWN OUR REPUBLICS

.."A gentleman would be ashamed should his deeds not match is words." Kong Fu Zi (aka Confucious)

Bringing Down our Republic

Eloquent speeches bring cheers from the crowd

Sincere revelations bring tears, they're so proud

Protect us he will he states clear and loud

Who wouldn't elect him with all that he vowed

Secrets revealed that show it's a hoax

Using his bribes to the needy he'd coax

He can't remember his own lies without plenty of notes

More people are aware his whole presidency's a joke

Bowing to enemies and saying we're sorry

He plays golf every weekend and vacations in Maui

People begin to throw stones at his tower of ivory

We're starting to doubt his elaborate story

He ran up the debt by the trillions, you know

Unemployment still rises, welfare numbers still grow

Terrorists still kill with the bombs that they blow

He refuses to blame them or call them our foe

Benghazi burned as he refused to send

Assets to help so we lost four good men

The scandals that surface we can't comprehend

Those who did wrong with pay they suspend

Rewarding conspirators for their lies and deception

Creating a crisis to cause a distraction

They deceive their constituents to the point of perfection

How did these liars just win reelection?

Where is the shame for the lies that they told?

As more and more the conspiracies unfold?

Are we feeling cheated for the goods we were sold?

When will we insist the Constitution they'll uphold?
