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-thumpers, Gun-clingers and Deplorables, 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 think of being out of pain
So we can get to our gardening and hobbies
This is without a doubt a good thing, but
At the same time we are looking for our own relief
We are aware of those suffering hunger and thirst
Around the world and then wonder how
We can celebrate when there is 
So much pain and anguish about us

We want to and should be happy, but
It is very difficult for me to be happy
While all these others are in misery
No magic wand is available; we cannot
Listen to those who say that everything
Will be alright.  We have crazies including
The occupant who believe that spending money
We do not have will accomplish our goal

Taxation, which usually reduces income, for our
Infrastructure does nothing for the
Starving millions and after we spend
This money, usually for things not intended,
The people will still be without food
And our infrastructure will remain the same

Our corporate tax hike and capital gains tax
Will help China who employs slaves and will
Do nothing to attract investment in our country
God help us that this wild bill does not pass
We conservatives bow to the Lord in thanksgiving
And in hope so we can reach out to
Those in need and we will discover happiness
