If our life is one large canvas and the finished work will be the sum-total of our good and bad wouldn’t we all wonder what the finished masterpiece would look like? I am sure it would begin carefully and straight forward until over time it advances into cubism, impressionism or the abstract We will look at our work and dap our souls into the oil and cover-up some blotch or errors that our deliberate-hand made on the first attempt We look and find areas for improvement and again do not hesitate to correct or improve By this time our soul is multicolored and we are rolling in murk and laying down anything and everything on the canvas We cannot step back every minute and observe but go through periods of time when our emotions, setbacks, and victories establish or influence our confidence on this beautiful canvas of our life. Our excuses are easily covered Just dab a little color Twist the soul Squeeze it Try to make it conform to our desired outcome if we even know what that is We may prance about not knowing what we are doing but expecting some lavish outcome that impresses This would be too bad There will be no second chances When the bell tolls You turn in your work It will be separated by the judges Some will be hung on the wall next to Van Gogh’s or some other favorite artist Others will be burnt with the chaff viewed as comparatively worthless I will wait to hear the words: “Then sings my soul, my savior God to Thee” And then observe the beckoning: “Come, sit by Me” I will rejoice and remember words I heard long ago “Unto thine own self be true” Stanski March 6, 2020 ^

That would be: papers, TV, and radio There doesn’t seem to be anything new It is already old; prologue We receive slants on the truth Distortions are common as are outright lies Anything to make the opposition look bad Most of this media is in lock-step If one of their own is off base There is the universal cover-up A real quid-pro-quo is totally ignored A phony one searched for and exploited What isn’t being said is remarkable Where is the mention of the swamp? Full of creatures from both sides It is they against the deplorable Many think Democrat versus Republican Maybe the titles are not up to date Shouldn’t it be liberal versus conservative? Why not? This is our country Why must I mark my ballot Republican or Democrat? I wish to mark it Deplorable Shouldn’t that be a reasonable option? After…

This is our country Why must I mark my ballot Republican or Democrat? I wish to mark it Deplorable Shouldn’t that be a reasonable option? After all, that is what I proudly claim I am Where is the news as it used to be? Journalism which would not stop until The whole and true story was told Those days are gone forever The media carries the water for the left They endorse indoctrination of school children They believe in murder by abortion and multiple gender beings They provide the cool-aid as though this were their country Be at peace, my friends The Light shall overcome all darkness Stanski March 6, 2020 ^
