What now my friend?
Like a ship stranded
Waiting for a tide
Wanting a changing wind
Relief of any kind

And at what price
When it trouble
One cannot factor cost
Emergence is what is sought
A ride back to the top

Then the application of disclaimers
Fault and blame expound
You are not surprised
Did not expect change
The club has its rules
Applying to most everyone

Mistakes or intentional actions
Are painted to cover up
Truth no longer a factor
Two people cannot agree
May even become hostile

Convinced by partisans
Who have trouble with reality
So where are we going
It is our country
Shall we wait for the tide?
Or begin on our own

Where are the workers
They are getting the stimulus 
More than they can earn
So why work?
The money is from the Government
And they are here to help

Unemployment is temporary
You should get back to work
Remember – each according
To their means
To others according to
Their needs

So why work –
Until you run out
Of other people’s money
Wake up America
This is a great country

Wake up teachers
Are you not smart
Enough to understand
What you unions are doing?

Get back to the classrooms
No more indoctrination
You will be eaten up
By our own failures

Free riders – get back to work
Joe-Joe – close the border
Do the right thing
Asylum seekers
Must remain in Mexico
Mexican cartels are terrorists
Deal with them, Joe-Joe
Now!

We look for peace
For our self
Our friends and family
The country
And world

Conflict exists
Gets in the way of peace
What can we do?

There are always sides
One pitted against the other
Desire for control and power
Winners and losers
Who owns the peace?

Those with respect
Who will reconcile between
Good and evil
And are willing
To endure
Until justice is served

Hunger and homelessness
Are no ingredients for peace
Time heals all wounds
Many factors involved

Peace is a dream
We arrive at it in
Various ways
It is individual
Until sometime
We can all come together

These are not all my 
Words ---
But what is it to you
Some of them are
They are beautiful 
And lift the spirit

“Grab your coat and
Get your hat; leave
Your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street”

“Can’t you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is a step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street”

Live the moment my friends
Then you are alive
And really living

Think of others first
The sun will be in your heart
The worries will go away
And life will be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Cracks
We all see them
In the walls
And ceilings
Cracks
Let in the light
Cold air
Toxic fumes
Small creatures
And what do you do
What should you do?
Patch them?
Hide them?
Ignore them?

We don’t know
Davy Crockett
By legend
Patched up
The crack in
The Liberty Bell
We don’t know
The Manifest Destiny 
Wars with Mexico
Wars with Indians
Nothing was
Pain free
We created cracks
Are still patching them

We are now
The past is past
We keep moving
Hopefully forward
Thoughtfully
With no regrets
And no cracks

Again, the eight-thirty light
Allows a beautiful blue sky
Accent the loveliness of the pines
Amazement is a good term
Seemingly, just out of winter
But well into spring, one gets
The sinking feeling as the 
Sun sets well north of due west
Days are getting longer and
Nights shorter until the end of June
Then as the earth turns the days
And night will be equal
We live through this every year
It is lady nature and we adjust

Sometimes we make rules to save time
Allows farmers more daylight
And children to have light in the morning
We have international time lines, so
Alaska is the state most north, east, and west
Hawaii which rose from the ocean
Is our southernmost state
Most do not know this, but
They do know a beautiful day,
And a delightful evening
Now it is almost nine and
There is a streak of pink across 
The southern sky
It is amazing and we all may sing out
What a wonderful day

Do not let your hearts be troubled
Words from the holy bible
We live in troubled times
Which allows us to despair and
Wonder what we can do to
Change the direction of our country
Where the wrong people are in charge
And stealing what we used to call freedom

Where do we turn, what can we do
Return to our roots; return to our faith
There is someone in charge - the One
The “I AM”, whose Son died on the cross
For the sins of liberals and all of mankind
We pray for rain but keep on hoeing 
So we pray to God and look at what is
Right in front of us that we can improve
I wonder if the “woke” state would agree

We need accountability, reliability and
A media that begins journalism once more
A Supreme Court not marginalized and
Elections that we can verify as not corrupt
My heart is troubled, but I have faith
I will keep on looking for what I can do
Helping others, treating them with respect
Consider everyone my brother or sister
Pray for the occupant who cannot say CDC,
Dot Gov. or dot com, without stumbling

We are not out of the woods, but
Do not let your heart be troubled
Sanity will eventually prevail
Are we not His chosen people?
There will be that day and
We will know then

We need it in our lives
In what we do and think
Balance is key, but
We tend to go overboard and
Give the answer on
How we will pay 

The answer unbalanced
Government will provide
Debt does not matter
And needs no balance
Does not make sense

We consider balance
In climate change
Where we have no control
As nature acts on her own
And batteries are in the hands
Of our competitors and enemies
But Joe knows; he has the answer

We need to unite he proclaims
And learn to depend on government
We need carbon dioxide,
In a balanced way
It is a nutrient to plants and trees
They exchange it for Oxygen
Which we also need in a balanced way

Joe – Joe knew this at one time
Now he cannot remember
And is just a puppet
Balanced by those on the left

I don’t know 
Who you is or
Nick for that matter
But Oprah is going
To do an interview
And talk about
The preciousness
Of having a baby
While Planned Parenthood
Is taking about 
350 thousand
Precious lives each year
We should be happy
About this one opportunity
What a bundle of absurdity

But this is Oprah
She has a following
Like Martha Stewart
And whatever they do,
Say or advocate
Becomes
The thing to do
Both are wealthy and smart
And lean left
For the sake of keeping
Their relationship with
Hollywood and Big Tech
So let us hail this potential birth
Life is precious

Keep clapping
It is funny
Peaceful protesting
Lifesaving help offered
Declined by a radical
A leftist who makes claims
As though he were Rambo

A Rambo who turns
His back on the police
While waiting to change 
His diaper
This is Portland
Another flip-flopper
Don’t help us
Help us

Never mind the fuss
There may be fire
But this is peaceful
And Antifa isn’t real
But radical love is
Brought to you by
The moderate left, who
Proclaim they
Have no interest
In controlling you

But desire to leave
The fence open and
Let the tattooed cartels
Control the borders and
Contaminated drugs
And the snuff-porn
Becomes their profit source
Sickness to the extreme
Thank you, Mr. President
We applaud you
Clap, clap
