BEING RUN OVER

I have been denied the opportunity
To engage in conversation with one
Or ones whom I have had an interest in
In order to develop a relationship with
There are legitimate reasons which I accept
But still I wait until I make a breakthrough
And in my opinion, some fine female person
Will be engaged with someone; that would be me
I would love, honor, and respect her and
Make a covenant with her that will
Leave us bonded for life.  It may be a dream
But I am a dreamer and believe in the Hand
Of the Lord.  I continue to pray and never
Know what His answer may be, but
I wait, content to be myself and stay
Within myself.  Life is a precious gift and
With it come many opportunities
We may serve and in the end be served
Humankind works that way; you give 
And as a result are given back many
Times over, a gift beyond expectations
So I keep moving forward and wait
Someone is bound to speak positively 
I want that day to come

ORDER ABANDONED

Most like order and simplicity
Complication and confrontation are
An ongoing part of our society
We choose sides and then begin 
The blame game.  The unintended
Consequences of forging ahead with
Unknown entities, who say one thing
And the because of their nature do another
Which is invariably contrary to our best interests
I look at the border.  President Reagan
Gave amnesty to many thousands of illegals
With the proviso that we secure the border
Over the years nothing had been done
Except for the rhetoric, agreeing with
Reagan, but remaining inert in
Regards to action in making it happen
Donald Trump, while under constant
Duress by the left managed to build a wall
And make a deal with the Mexican Government
To keep the people looking for asylum 
In Mexico until their case could be heard
The wall was not complete when he left office
The new administration by executive order
Stopped construction and also quit the 
Agreement with Mexico, releasing the
Illegals into our country without checking
And background on them or testing them
For Covid-19 or any other transmittable disease
Thus the Occupant put our citizens at risk
They are receiving money, housing, Food-stamps 
And health care, all by executive order
The children are retained at the border in
Pathetic conditions, while cartels are
Involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling
And sex slavery while the claims are
That there is no crisis at the border
Another area of concern is our weak stance 
Against China and Russia.  We have become
A laughing stock in the world order
Wave you flags, I say to the swamp people
Have it your way.  How do you feel about
Order and simplicity?  I wonder

LOOKING FOR MISTER GOOD BAR

Any objective person
Has to concede that
We made a “huge” mistake
In accepting “Joe, Joe” Biden
As the President of the U.S. A.
We no longer have a border
Millions and billions, if not
Trillions of dollars are at stake
The so called “media” is compliant
How can we as country allow this?
We are headed for disaster
The proud will deny this
But they will be buried with
Their truth which is enshrouded
In denial – but still denial has
Never averted eminent disaster
The real truth is obvious
We do not have to wait for
Others to point it out to us
It is not affecting your right now?
Just wait a moment, a day,
A month or even a year
Precious ones will be lost
Because of stupidity
The constitution is trying to be
Trampled upon and the race card
Is constantly being played by the left
They are looking for Mr. Goodbar
By means of dreadful deception
They want power so that they 
Can provide equality for us
Everyone will be equally miserable

HOW DO WE MEASURE


What qualities do we as individuals have?
That seemingly in our own mind’s eye
Places us above others and gives us the
Feeling of superiority.  This is one of
The stories of mankind

We may be blessed with certain talents
But neglect to see the same in others
There are people living on the margins who
Give more of themselves to others to the point
That whatever we do is minimal in comparison 
The least of us often stand the tallest to
The surprise of many.  

Growth is an ongoing element of our lives
And to strive to be on top of the heap
Is a natural thing.  To compete is good
But even being allowed to do this comes
With certain inherent responsibilities
How truly satisfied can we be if 
We neglect those on the fringes who need
Our compassion and help

One can think of the Levite and Priest who 
Walked by the man injured on the side of
The road and of the Samaritan who tended 
To him and took him to a safe place
He paid for his care and left the injured
In the hands of others whom he promised
To pay on his way back through

This Samaritan gave all that he could give 
And by any measure stood taller than
The Priest and Levite, who were
Indifferent even though well off in life
Who should our role model be?

LYRICS I DESIRE

You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
I think of the words
Of the late John Denver
As he sang this song in
A free America with so
Much hope and love
Before he died in an
Airplane crash
An idealistic phenomena 
We had a great country
At that time with a
Built in comfort for our future
Now we look at “catch and release”
At our border after dissolving
President Trump’s Mexican Agreement
We are being overwhelmed
With people from all over the globe
No identification or background
Checks or tests for disease including
The Covid-19 which is limiting 
Freedom amongst its citizens
“Come on in” is the cry of 
The Occupant who seems unaware
Of the sex-slave traffic,
The human traffic paybacks to 
The cartels who are using the
Crisis to bring by means of Coyotes
Many harmful, tainted, addicting drugs
This is what the stolen election is about
Ten gallons of gasoline cost six dollars
More today than it did two months ago
Thousands of jobs have been lost
The building of the border wall has been halted
I hope the Biden fans are happy and
Fill up their senses once more and 
Then come fill them again

I HAVE NO IDEA

We have billionaires
Who declare they are
Protecting free speech
Unless it needs censoring
We can hear applauding
By the misfits in the background
Who are the misfits?
A valid question
I believe they are the
Misbegotten main stream media

Where is our country heading?
A president who brought us
Back from the brink
Defeated in a flawed election
Bring to us a corrupt occupant
Who with his family have
A financial relationship with China
Who alone commits a “quid-pro-quo”
Protecting his son and 
The income from foreign sources

Who by executive order
Stopped the construction of the 
Fence on our southern border
And ended the agreement with
Mexico to retain the asylum seekers
Until their cases could be heard
The occupant also stopped the
Keystone Pipeline and the
Drilling for gas and oil on
Federal properties and in
Doing so left hundreds of 
Thousands without jobs and 
This in the midst of a pandemic

Where are the cheerleaders
Just the compliant media
The occupant has a press conference 
His first since becoming president
The questions were filtered
Not open to everyone, just
The ones who could throw
Softball question which he answered
Using cards he always carries with him

The occupant was good at
Blaming Donald Trump
Who had secured the border 
Not perfect but getting there
The occupant lied about the 
Wind which blew him over
Three times as he attempted
To board Air Force One

The occupant was blame 
Transferring about all of the
Children stacked in horrible
Conditions at the border
He had no idea about
The extent of this crisis

The occupant did say
“I have no idea”
For once the truth
The main stream media
Ignored this solemn admission
They are quiet when
It serves their purpose

I hope and pray during
This Easter Season that
We do not have to wait
Forty years before we
Will be led to the 
Promised Land

I SIGNED MY NAME

The slip asked for the group leader

I signed my pen name “Stanski”

Someone asked who in hell Stanski was

Do you believe in God, I asked

What has that to do with it?

It has a lot to do with it

God has an angel in me

The angel uses pennames 

Sometimes they are my names

This is one of them

I believe in evolution someone said

Then I can answer that, too

Stanski evolved over the years

First it was Stanislaus Kuperski the Firski

Then Stanislaus Kuperski

Then Stansberry McKricken

Followed by A.H. McKricken

Sometimes I used my own name

Some people called me Stans

Then Stanski evolved

Pretty easy to follow, isn’t it?

Yes, except the part about the angel

I believe in angels and also in miracles

I have been a part of small miracles

Only angels can partake in them

People have called me their angel

What more must you know?

The critics were all silent

They knew they had been had

There was no false worship, but

They were not true believers

Standing back they said, well 

I guess that is it

He made his point validly 

Both the spiritual and the evolutionary

Covered every possibility 

Did it persuasively 

That’s Stanski for you

ECHOES OF MYSELF


A guy writes to me about my poem.  
“Echoes of Whitman”, he says.  
“Echoes of myself”, I say.  
Me and the other guy who is also me.  
I am not just one being, one thought, 
one copy but an entity of much.  
Many songs, not just of myself, 
many marches, none of which I composed.  
Many parades, some of which I organized 
are all part of who I am. 
 
I heard an echo of my own cry.  
It was a lovely echo, consoling in a way, 
though, that bothered me.  I enhanced my cry.  
The echo shouted back in such a way as to rile me.  
That is more like it, I thought.  
I want nothing to do with timidity.  
You go nowhere with it and no one cares.  
I will walk above the river, not wishing 
to be lost in its currents for no good purpose.  
The bridge is a safe place with the advantage of 
being able to observe and then make decisions. 
 
I have no longing to be someone else or 
a decoy set out to attract the real thing.  
One of my selves is real, so I use pen-names 
to keep the things of life unsettled.  
My other selves will speak for themselves.  

My concepts of the high-desert and a marshland, 
except for the intrinsic differences, 
may be very much alike.  
I see the spiritual in both and 
that is my high-hand or go to in life.  
I do not wish to use vagueness in 
an effort to skim over reality.  
I know the food of the soul 
just as I know troubled waters.  
We walk swiftly, me and the other guy, 
knowing time is so precious.  
We will not take time to be measured 
on this perpetual journey.  We know
Who will be waiting for us.

Stansberry McKricken aka Stanski

I THINK

Hoping this day is going well for you
It sounds like you are busy
lots and lots to do
I can only caution you
do whatever you do
because it is right for you
if you were all alone
with only you to think of
what would you do
what you do should line up 
with that thinking
I think

you have been through
the gauntlet of life
you’ve survived
you are strong
you have to understand
it is okay to lay down your façade
and just be your true you
live up to your own expectations
of you for you
I think

deep down
you are tired
exhausted
existing
with burden
I think

what is best for
your true being
only you can know
life is moving on
like lightning
it will be over
in a flash
what will be important then
make that important now
lighten your load
if that is what you think
I think

you are a joy
you are sunshine
soft rain
gentle breeze
you are a delight, but
your kindness to others
needs to be directed
to yourself
for a little while
I think

Stans has his landscaping
has his writings and poems
he does what he does to
satisfy himself
he obeyed his natural instincts
in the garden and with pen
in pleasing himself
he is pleasing everyone
who is lucky enough 
to know him
in person
or through his writings
I think

you are my sapient
my sapphire; no longer a
sapling, not a willow
not an oak
but somewhere in there
is a little of both
you have what it takes
to make life best for you
and only you can do
what is right for you
no one else can do
for you what you can do
for you
I think

Meet the New President of the United States…Barack Obama
February 22, 2021 
By Wayne Allyn Root

I’ve written thousands of columns and commentaries.
This is the most important I’ve ever written.

This is my chance to play the modern-day version of Paul Revere. “The commies are coming. The commies are coming.” Yes, I am reporting a communist takeover. But the leader of this attack is not whom it appears to be.  Republicans, conservatives, patriots, and capitalists are sick right about now. We’re in shock. We can’t believe Trump isn’t president. We can’t believe Americans voted against the greatest economy, perhaps in history. And the greatest jobs picture ever. And the greatest improvement in middle-class incomes ever. And after the Covid lockdown and economic collapse, Trump produced the greatest economic comeback ever. Remember 33% GDP in Q3 2020? That was the biggest number in history. Who would vote against all that? You’d have to be self-hating and suicidal.

We also can’t believe America voted for a feeble old man with dementia who mumbles “I don’t know what I’m signing, but I’m gonna sign these Executive Orders.” And who says “There was no vaccine before I became president.” Even though he got his two vaccine shots before he became president.  We all believe the election was rigged and stolen. We all know the feeble old man now called “President” would be more at home in an assisted living home, than the White House. That man can’t be our new president.  I have news for my fellow conservatives, Republicans, capitalists, and patriots. Biden’s not the president. He’s a puppet. Yes, we have a new president. But his name is…Barack Obama.  Admit it. Now that I’ve said it out loud, it all makes sense. Obama is the real president, back for his third term, to finish the job.

Biden’s job was to stand there and look moderate, and credible, and reasonable. So as not to scare the voters. But Biden isn’t the real president. Obama is the man with the power.  Look at the radical Executive Orders, the most in history. And they all sound like Obama wrote them. This third term is “Obama Unmasked.” With Biden as the frontman, Obama can finally be himself. Obama is able to do all the radical things he never dared do as the actual president.  Look at the executive orders and new laws and policies proposed…Open borders.

No more wall. Everyone gets in, during a pandemic, with no testing for Covid. Illegal alien felons must be released from jail. Halt to deportations. Full legalization for millions of alien lawbreakers.

Include illegal aliens in the US census. Once into the country, give them the right to bring all their relatives in too, with no requirement for education, skills, or background checks. Ban the use of the word “illegal alien.”

*Make every action and economic policy about “racism” “social justice” and “racial equity.” Even climate change is about “racism.”

*Re-start the Iranian nuclear treaty. Give murdering Mullahs everything they ever dreamed of, and then some, endanger our best friend Israel’s existence and get absolutely nothing in return. And for good measure, wait over a month to call Israel’s Prime Minister, so the whole world knows we no longer have Israel’s back.

Kill the lucrative US energy industry and make us dependent on foreign oil from our enemies again. Kill the Keystone Pipeline.
Kill oil, coal, natural gas, fracking, even permits for drilling. Re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement that kills all our jobs, while allowing China to pollute all it wants. This will decimate our economy and make us dependent on the same kind of green energy that just caused the meltdown in Texas.

*Ban the use of the term “China virus.” End the trade war with China. Give China access to the US energy grid.

Even the players in Biden’s cabinet and staff are all Obama re-treads.

Trust me, I’m Obama’s Columbia college classmate. I know how he thinks. I understand his plan. This has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. This is the Cloward-Pavan plan we learned at Columbia University, almost 40 years ago.

This is the 3rd term of Obama. In his first two terms, Obama tried his best to destroy the economy, high-paying jobs, healthcare, the US energy industry, the great American middle class, our relationship with Israel, American exceptionalism, and capitalism itself. He damaged us badly, but he fell short.  Now Obama’s back to finish the job.
