If we have 
Systemic Racism
In America and
If it is such a problem
Why did the occupant –
Obama – ignore 
Rather than stamp out
This terrible scourge
Did you hear his
VP – the present occupant –
This condition every deplore

No, not at all – race
Is an instrument
Robert Byrd meant more
To Joe-Joe than the
Condition of the blacks
Or the horrible black abortions
The “Great heroine” 
Margaret Sanger was so – so
Right in Joe – Joe’s so called mind

I think that is just fine
If you are a terrible racist
But disgusting and sinful
Is my opine
What we have is leadership
More interested in control and power
Then in helping inner-cities, 
Poor schools and minorities and
Adds unbearably to my sorrow

There is not enough time
To be all I wish to be
To give of myself to
Those in misery
All life is precious
I know this is real
I will not be denied
My whole life is yours

It is so sad to see
How others turn
Away from these
And all that I learned
But just are following
The previous given law
That takes away our liberty
And wants us all to follow

But I as are you
Products of liberty and
Are patron of the One Whose
Grace is ever present about us
I love the concept of liberty
And know the cost it bears
It is similar to the belief
That Jesus of Nazareth is Lord

He taught us of the mystery
Told us to go out and share this belief
The Holy Spirit will be with you
What more do we have to know
I avoid judging people, but
Pray for their enterprise
I pledge to give to the very end
And know that my life will then begin

Everything is going to be all right
Fight on everybody
Keep the enemy in sight
We have to stay here
For so many years
Gives us time to contemplate
Tell each other lies
Live our secret lives
Time will have a way of flying
Everything will be all right
We’ll fight amongst ourselves
Never looking for victory
Just a little more land
A little more territory
We’re going to be all right
The end is getting closer
It is nearly in our sight
Give up on the false gods
Obey the One we know is true
Then we’ll sing our songs
It takes courage to walk away
Or maybe foolishness
It takes courage to walk back
Or maybe the need for forgiveness
At least we’re beginning to grow
There are still bells to ring
Let’s listen to their sound
Forget
About climbing the mountain
And there may be a crack in the bell
Let your heart run free
We’re getting there
Just wait and see

Tell me another lie
Joe-Joe
There is no reason
We can’t do this
Whisper softly
This is the USA
Where everything
Is possible
If only we unite
Come together
Work together
Then
Everything is going
To be all right
Smile, Joe-Joe
Your famous flash
Then get serious
This is for all of us
Where were you
Don’t tell me
The Crime Bill
One thing
You accomplished
To help those
You profess to love
While patting your way
With a velvet glove
Let’s work together
For all the people
And, oh my gosh
I don’t mean to be rash
Don’t forget your mask

Respect
I suspect
Is a foreign word
Goodness
Is undone
Because Pablum won
The courts 
Were not blind
How sublime
They didn’t know
Couldn’t show
Partisanship 
Self-worship
Or something worse
The devil’s curse

A useful idiot
Comes into power
Lack of cognizance 
Such a sorrow
Respect
I love the word
A bird cracking seed
Is that absurd
No not at all
Let us not cancel
Except for comrade
Napoleon Fauci
That would not be a pity
No respect for him
A deceitful man
But them again
I will pray for him, too

The sun tonight
Once more spectacular
A gift from God
For us to appreciate
A blue sky meets
The steel gray of
An inland sea
Breath taking

We say
Thank you, Father
All of our gifts
Come from You
Your Son told us
To love one another
He gave us the tools
Told us where to go

When we have 
Been gifted
We have the obligation
To give back
Not until it hurts
But until it feels good

My heroes follow
This sage advice
We love the stars
The night sky
A full moon
But regret the fact
That we collectively
Neglect our duties
To each other

Where has all the money gone?
500 million to Solyndra 
Millions gone to schools
But where has it gone
Big time ideas
Going nowhere
But
This is nothing new
Control is the name
And please
Don’t resist

Government grows
In size
And their stupidity
Is just a ploy
To lead us into socialism
Instead we should
Reduce government
Put growth in the hands
Of the citizens

Instead we lock them down
Getting them used
To being controlled
Put an end to
Programs that worked
Lie about climate
And green energy
Costing billions and providing
Just a small percent

We are being indoctrinated
Baa, baa, baa

You may speak softly
But a lie is still a lie
You may think you are
A special entity
But your soul will speak
May speak loudly
For all eternity

Where is Robert Byrd
No one has heard
Only God knows if
He is wearing a hood
Tell me all the
Things you’ve done
Whisper carefully

When your face
Looks serious
One can see the
Devil’s rings
You are protected now
By other human beings

The One you must 
Answer to
Died at Calvary

You have this chance
I pray for you
Your last dance
I sing for you

When the music ends
What will you do?
No need to pull your sword
Everything is on record

So many things are happening
In the United States of America
Police are blamed for
Trying to keep order
While being mocked and
Tormented viciously
With bricks, explosive bottles
Injured or die; it doesn’t matter

A blind look at reality
Policemen die because of chatter
The pompous declare racism
Policing is not something that matters
They are portrayed as a disgrace
How foolish just to prove a point
Statistics speak loudly
But not all want to observe

Racism is not a factor
Black, brown, yellow and white
They are all called officer
None of them deserve our spite
You want power; pray to God
Ask for your own forgiveness
Then try to live and forgive
No need to live a life that is graceless

The police give us a valuable service
Some die while on duty or just by chance
Evil is evil; don’t believe the media
Life is more than a perfect romance

Sometimes I write
Typing out words
Other times
Writing
Usually later at night
I’ll have a drink
Write down words
The same one hundred
Only
In different order
Another drink
Words flow
Splendid
Sometimes I think
It is all
Like a miracle
It is
The mind works
Pours out emotions
Truth
I feel exhilaration
And keep writing
Clearly
Deliberately
Fast
Fluent
Working hard
To a
Successful end
