GOOD MEN DO SOMETHING

We have emboldened our enemies
Radical politicians are to blame
Domestic terror and Marxist tendencies
Are these people really that insane?

Black Lives Matter and Antifa are socialist
They seek to create chaos on our streets
We diminish or ignore history in classrooms
An act of surrender; an admission of defeat

We are not a racist nation, but are
Constantly told we are by the leftist press
Now we witness all of the infighting
How do we allow ourselves into this mess?

Good men must not remain silent
Or progress of evil will have its fling
Triumph over this evil is so necessary
Sir Edmund Burke’s words have a familiar ring

The things that most believe in are
Being manipulated by the powerful few
We judge by character, not color
And race cannot be considered an issue

Socialism brings with it genocide
Look at the records of Mao, Hitler and Stalin
If we do not stand and speak out
We will have no way to count the fallen

TEXTURING THE LANDSCAPE

I plan my landscape and 
begin the work and proceed 
along as my mind dictates
Then a change in order; 
tall shrub trees  will not be cut down, 
but all of the wild Juniper bushes, 
which are half-dead, 
surrounding the trees
Will be removed.  
It looks good to me
I keep going, thinning 
and removing all of the waste  
I look things over again
There is more to do, 
but this place is 
beginning to look like a park
So many times one gets frustrated 
Because everything does not fall 
into place as we intended
But I play it loose – anything goes
There is no set way and it is 
the results that count
As one project comes to an end 
another one comes to mind and 
then another and another, until 
the whole project is finished
It was a lot of work but then 
any composition is
What you see pleases the eye, 
the ear, and the nose
Nature gave us a canvas 
to work with and we can assist 
until our personal touch adds to 
What has been given to us
It is transformational, both 
to the land and the artist

AN AMAZING DEMONSTRATION

You didn’t like the script
Nor the choreography
There was a disconnect
No questions about Covid-19
Or why are the schools not open
No calling on anyone who
Might ask this kind of question

The occupant had crib sheets
No fact checking on the truth
No questions on Hunter or
The gas prices or starving
Children at our Southern Border

Joe-Joe gives up on his own sentences
This is not funny – they kept him
Off of the campaign trail, but
Really that wasn’t necessary
Because the fix was already in place

Just look at the border – all of the
Progress previously made shut down
A return to the Obama-Biden Policies 
Now the Harris-Biden policies
The asylum seekers are released 
Into our communities.  They are law
Breakers – we have a legal way of
Immigration – in the mean time we
Had an agreement with the Mexican
Government to hold them in Mexico
Until the time of their court dates

The construction of the border wall
Was halted.  This during a pandemic
We must remember what we have
Forgotten – the constitution is important
So are reading, writing and arithmetic 
Children of all ages, when allowed back
Into the classroom do not need 
Indoctrination about racism or gender

They deserve and are entitled to be
Taught about the greatness of this
Country and how everyone has
The opportunity to succeed
Leftists do not like these ideas
They prefer socialism and endorse
With funding or silence the activities of
The Marxists groups:  Antifa and
Black Lives Matter

Joe-Joe was quiet as American
Cities burned this past summer
These were peaceful protests
George Floyd should never have
Been murdered by the policeman
This goes without saying

Kamala got up on her feet and
Raised millions in bail money to
Release the offenders in jail
There will be no justice

Victories are possible
They should be promoted
Kamala laughs and Joe-Joe stays
In the basement bunker
