I sit with a wondering mind waiting for words to come

that will bring fresh air to what I write.  We are in what

appears to be a divided country, but it is not an equal division. 

There are many empty heads walking around oblivious to what is

taking place in their community, local schools and government. 

They appear to have no interest or are just content to live

their life as they have been with no apparent purpose. 

For many it is just meal to meal, watch television shows and

go to bed.  Some are slowly indoctrinated and are only aware of

the last thing they have read.  Many tend to be on the left because

they were good union people and followed directions accordingly. 

Now they automatically vote for those on the left without

giving it much thought.  Others vote for the left because

their family has always voted for the Democrats for generations. 

The same goes for those on the right.  They do not realize that

the two parties are not the same today as they were sixty years ago.

A good share of the congressional people who represent us are

members of the swamp.  They have sold their souls in the most

discrete way for financial gain which come with an attachment—

that is they have an obligation to their benefactors.  There are

many people who have drifted away from their party affiliations

and are voting according to their conscience.  They are called

Bible-thumping, Gun-clingers and Deplorable, but they are

the majority.  They want border security, the constitution,

a small Federal Government, a strong Military and low taxes. 

They desire equal opportunity for all and are respectful of others rights.

My yearning is for a drained swamp, prosecution of the criminals and

a separation into two political parties which basically have

the same goals but differ in the way to achieve them. 

I also yearn for schools of choice which avoid indoctrination

but teach the constitution and our history accurately.

The students are enclosed in a small space and no two are alike.

They learn in different ways and may be bored within a short time.

To teach effectively is not an easy task and to drift away and

give up on your purpose happens as we review test results.

We have many broken systems to fix in this country and

Socialism is not a valid option.

We are two different people, as it should be,

and love brought us together to connect and

share our beings with each other and

you needed attention and care and

I was the one who could provide this and

give you stability and some of the best years

of your life and my life, too, as far as that goes. 

We shared our tears, our laughs, our writings

and we read together or alone and traveled to

areas previously unknown and

everything was grand and when we returned

we had plenty to do.  I worked and provided  

an art room for you and I laugh when

I think of all the storage room I provided

which never seemed to be enough as clutter

seemed to be your inspiration and you

completed many pieces of beautiful

abstract art, much of it from materials

that nature provided and I kept busy

with my landscape work and contentment

existed.  I cooked for you, cleaned for you,

washed your clothes, knowing it helped you

with your pain and depression and I sang

my songs for you and continued to love you

and still do even though your head injury

changed everything and your imagination

went wild.  You felt, because of your

brain chemistry, that I would be happier

without you.  Your mind made this up and

as days went by you extrapolated your story

and during the years we were seeing doctors

and getting you back on your feet you made

your resolve that your condition was

everybody’s fault but your own, and

then saw to it that we would part. 

You broke your covenant to me and

with it took a piece of my heart. 

You said you were the light but never took

the time to overcome my darkness,

no you never took the time to overcome

my darkness.  We had a unique kinship,

a once in a lifetime affair and you,

yes I say you, let it slip away like

the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
