THE GOOD FIGHT

One wonders what is going on in the world
Evil men are taken out; killed
What is next, we wonder?

Are we going to neglect China?
Spend our treasure and money in the Middle-East
Should we draw back and observe with intensity

Many will go one way or another
A lot of money is at stake
Good money and evil money

Our own swamp is full of greed
Both sides of the aisle are corrupt
Not totally, but enough to make it unsettling

Still we wave our flags
One Party over the other
Both are guilty and both blame the other side

We outsiders get drawn into the debate
Shouldn’t we wake up and realize that
It is the Statists versus all of us in the hinterland

When will we wake up?

Keep our eyes open to devious action taken by local leaders
County leaders and State leaders
Many are making unilateral decisions not in our interests

They are also profiting as they make concessions
Which benefit the soliciting groups
So easy to fall prey to forces bigger than yourself

Easier, still, to make mistakes which become material for blackmail
It happens and is happening everywhere
We, the deplorable, must stay vigilant

We must get involved in our communities and
help make good decisions
Don’t worry about the large D or R

Think more about the C or the L;
conservative or liberal
We know that Socialism does not work; it never has and never will

We cannot sit on the sidelines and hope
Freedom requires action and alertness
Let no one make a mistake about this

PROCRASTINATION

Shadows on the wall
Reflections of images
Dancing silhouette
Fading when light changes

Imagination primed
Subtle revelations
Notification of possibilities
Being held in limbo

Waiting for action and purpose
Prevailing over idleness
Wondering
Will it come to pass?

Repeating:

Will it or do we wait
Will other circumstances prod us on
Waiting is dangerous
Exposes the risk of losing it all

Shadows may distort
Hinting at truth may ring hallow
Knowledge put on shelf
Wanting a better time

Wrong road to take
Action now warranted
Heed all warnings
Act
