Day: February 18, 2020

How was it when there was nothing?
Willingness was having a tough time
Meeting up with opportunity
Things will get better
They always do, but for now
We are doing without
 
Heartfelt feelings will be hurt
You sense abandonment
No love offered or received
Worry has replaced every emotion
Subdue all expectations
Gather all the wood you can
It will be a long winter
 
The cold that causes bones to ache
Will work on the spirit
In an effort to break
The treasury was lost and won’t be found
No matter how you look
 
We have done this before
Animals have to be saved
Who of us will keep the score?
Who will keep the pump primed?
We never know for sure
 
Days will pass, then weeks and
Promise for early spring, but
Fool’s gold is cheap and
Anyway, we’re not buying
No one ever has or will see us crying
 
As the waiting nears an end
We hope we can, in our hearts, have love again
Yes, we hope we can
These wretched cold winters are never grand
We are cautious; don't want the wrong people
seeing us waving to a friend

The wind had died down
My blood pressure kicked up
So hard to deal with uninformed people
Who operate on their feelings
They want to be liked and
Make room for others to adore them
They wish to be recognized as
The ones to go to for answers and action
 
They work on projects like getting
A real caboose for their school playground
Then someone gets hurt; the caboose is removed
The plans for a 747 are cancelled
Undeterred they go for a Father-Daughter dance
That is a wonderful idea except for
Those who will not be able to attend and
The fathers who do not wish to attend
 
Then the politics that come up and positions taken
One is either right or wrong; no middle ground
If you are not for me then you are against me
It doesn’t matter if the person is lacking information
Critical thinkers stand back quietly and wait
Feel bad as they see the lambs running over the cliff
Watch the goats pat each other on the back
And chuckle because they think they won
 
Come on man, we eat their lunch!  No, sorry Joe
If anything they are eating our lunch along with the
Stealing of our intellectual property and if we were
Eating their lunch, would that be a nice thing to do
They are a corrupt regime; beating us at every turn
We give them access, they eat the whole meal
Their sick, ruined people have no way out, except death
and death is provided to any and all dissidents 
 
Leaders operate on feelings also and they better have
The feeling that drug manufacturing better return to
Our country and beware of the cheating when it comes
To specifications and tolerances.  We do not need them
We do not need playground trains and planes
We need discipline and the study of the constitution
Then we will be back on track and able to think as individuals
There will be no need to rely on the really fake news

Frustration is a great word
People in love with the evil ones
Can’t patronize them enough
They are total frauds
Now they want exoneration
Because they were snookered
 
Suddenly snookering is not okay
They have been doing it to their audiences
Day after week after month after decades
Graft, cheating, loss of life, and promises
Denied, covered, nothing to it and why keep them
Impressing a small but steady group of sycophants
 
People wear their labels, boldly and proudly
Make it difficult to return politics to normal
They think the swamp is a reference to them
But the swamp is full of phony-baloney
Plastic-banana, good time rock and rollers
From both sides of the aisle
 
It is not Democrat versus Republican
It is the Swamp versus the deplorable
Money beyond our ability to comprehend
Is at play in all the decisions made by
Our elected officials and representatives
It leaves many feeling powerless
 
People work hard and more are working
Than ever before in our country
There is a modicum of hope
That things will keep getting better
We need manufacturing to return to this country
This thing called cheap is going to cost us
 
Do we want drugs made in China?
How about food or anything when
Slave labor make it possible
There is no liberty in China
People are oppressed and eliminated
Are we willing to pay this price for cheap?
