When you know you are different

In a way special to you

And others don’t understand

Or even care and

They have no perception of

Seeing from within

Or appreciation of subtle talents

They are not aware of sensitivity

And ignore the concept of hard work

I suppose that everyone has dreams

I took the action necessary to

Turn my dreams into reality

I believe in artistic potential

It evolves silently in what you do

A display, an orderly garage, or

Delightful, weed free garden

These are all art forms and

Later, because of time restraints,

You pick up a pen and a pad

A remark is made about something

You jot it down and begin filling in

Between the words – giving poetic meaning

I think of earlier acquaintances

Who seemingly spent their time dreaming

Satisfied with their rank or fate

No obvious feeling for the lust of life

The phases are similar but not the same

I have constant fulfillment that does not wain

Some need constant attention

Hang out with peers who salute them

I write my musings; write down my truth

Words flow from my soul and brain

I still see from within; never from surface

This little factor has given my life purpose

The child sings
Barely out of diapers
Knows the cruelties
Of the world
Belts out feelings
Oh!  The oppressed
Is there any hope?
The melody slows
Goes into the blues
Will we survive?
Does anyone know?
We all have dreams
Can see through clouds
But don’t want to look
And then cry out loud

Who is to blame?
We all look away
These problems we have
Will wait another day
Wake up from your dreams
It is a new day
Take another look
There’s a flag on the moon
And here I am crying
With a mop in my hands
I’ll be dancing at midnight
In my field of dreams
There will be reconciliation
Beautiful acts of love
It’s not that bad
Farmers plough
The child sings

Why is the establishment pushing so hard
To bring this country, the greatest ever, to its knees?
Unimaginable sacrifice was made to allow us
To reach the position in the world which
We are now, although precariously, holding

It is inconceivable that our own people
Want us to fail and become a third world country
Where everyone, like in Cuba or Venezuela, lives
In an equal state of misery and any outcry 
Results in elimination.
 
Most are aware to some degree of American history
Everything was not perfect and evil men
Did exist who were unmerciful to our perceived enemies
Many more civil people led us – not without casualties -
To the successful Manifest Destiny 

There is always politics and ill-conceived methods
Involved in reaching our goals.  I think of
The Oregon Trail, which finally made it
To Oregon and this summer the “Peaceful Protests”
In Portland impacted a beautiful city in a negative way
We wonder who was culpable in this violence

We look back harshly on those who fought fiercely
On those who were involved in making the trail a reality
But look away with disinterest in locating the ones
Funding the disastrous destruction, looting and injuries,
As well as death that was happening in Portland

Too many citizens of this country especially
The woke left watch the media that presents
One side to what is going on in the country
They ignore and do not report on realities
That do not fit their narrative.  They ignore
The power of Big Tech and the negative
Influence and control which they possess

We need a new trail – one that leads to rights of expression
Rather than the road to crisis and misery

There is so much to say and
So many who do not want to listen
We were on the verge of euphoria
But a corrupt election left us out in the cold
The present occupant has no cognition.  Others 
Are pulling strings as though he were a puppet
He is outlandish in his executive orders
Going against everything he has supported
He has made millions from his China affairs
We cannot rely on anything he says or does
Just as we were on the verge of peaceful coexistence 
The policies bringing us here were totally disregarded
In his opinion we are supremacists and have no feeling
For those violating our laws on the southern border
I have a feeling – their countries should be turned
Into Democracies and the dictators should be thrown out
Then everyone give a chance to succeed and 
No longer be oppressed.  Those beautiful countries 
Should be a magnet for tourism resulting ultimately 
In the lack of desire by its citizens to escape
This would be utopia – regardless we have laws
Which are being broken in record numbers to
The delight of Joe-Joe and the leftists
It fits their narrative which is to turn our country
Into a Marxist socialist state.  The sad part is that
Those who think they are experts in history think 
The occupant is to be respected for his ill-fated decisions
We cannot signal – for others to come here – 
And promise housing, food, education and healthcare 
Who would not be enticed to make the journey?
Meanwhile we have thousands of homeless doing without
We have soldiers in this category who are committing 
Suicide at the rate of twenty-two each day
In the meantime the Mexican cartels are making millions
Exploiting their opportunity to bring deadly drugs,
Sex slaves and other criminals into our country
The left cheer.  This is their plan.  What do they want for us?
Misery for all within our borders except, of course, themselves
They wish to be the ones in control

We are systemic racists
Also white supremacists 
These statements are uttered
Believed by those hungry for 
Support of their causes
The Reverend Al Sharpton is their hero
He is anti-Asian, anti-Semitic and
Anti-paying his own taxes
He is pro-making money off the backs of others
Corrupt political influence dominates
All of the ethnic divides are incidental
They have nothing to do to 
Our collective identification
We are all one, although there are differences
These differences are exploited by the leftists
Certain groups are held down so others may succeed
The choice of our education has been suppressed
Those most in need are instructed to say no
The ones deprived are left deprived
And then the curse of false labels
Education has been replaced with indoctrination
Victims are stunned and inclined to believe
The bells are pealing and time does not stop
Dis-information is prevalent 
How do we lead people to believe in the truth?
The misrepresentations are unbelievable
The occupant with the Japanese minister
Receive softball questions and Joe-Joe
Answers a part of a three part question
He turns the floor over to the Minister from Japan
Failure once more to confront reality
No acknowledgement of Russian disinformation 
The occupant boldly speaks of murders on the street
I pray for their eternal rest
Most are black on black murders
Still the police remain the underdogs
Until we need them to rescue us
Then they are our best friends
We are a misled people, unfortunately 
Indoctrination by the left must be canceled
Let us enlist the beliefs of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
