HOW MANY DAYS?

I may exaggerate at times but

Three months without sunshine

And a dosing of rain each day is

Just short of that. High hopes

Are dashed by reality. Then the

Lies or reported lies you hear on

The media’s daily bashing of

Everything on the right leaves you

Depressed. Supposedly smart

People have forgotten about

Critical thinking and are stuck

In the mud, leaning left on every

Controversy. Speaker Pelosi makes

Millions on stock tips and nothing

Is made of it. Clarence Thomas is

Badmouthed daily on suppositions.

Sides are switched for convenience

And no one hears about it. Swamp

Mud appears on just about every

Shoe. The Biden-CCP connections

Are forgotten or at least no action

Is taken to bring it to a head. You can

Only steal up to $1,000.00 before

You are prosecuted and then released.

The days are gray in every way and

It appears that there is no relief in

Sight. We stand by while people

Are starving and thirsty. Children

Are dying by the thousands of

Malnutrition. We spend our money

On flowers so that the churches look

Nice on the important holidays, so we

Can all feel good. Then time and effort

To send out thank you notices to those

Who participated. Leaders stand by

While looting, arson, and murders take

Place. Our Vice-President leads a cause

To provide bail money for the criminals.

We will have a price to pay and then

Cry out with tears on why someone

Didn’t do something about it all.

Someday I wish to wake up where the

Clouds are far behind me. Small birds

Fly over the rainbow, why can’t I?

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Anticipation,

Creation, celebration,

Observation of facts

Belief in results

Many hands kept busy

To the point of being dizzy

No complaining though

The job was thought to

Be impossible with few

Believers, but with many

Taking a bite and trusting

Management with patience

The victory was achieved.

Euphoria comes from

Accomplishment so drugs

Are not a component of

The completion of this

Project. This is the first    

Of what we hope are many

There are many needs and

Most are visible. Homelessness

Can be corrected if we do not

Wait too long to address it

We had put it on the shelf

Drug use, overeating, stealing,

Abuse, addiction to liquor, and

Gambling, refusal to work,

Lack of effort in schools and

Students who are left alone

And hungry. Finally, we have

Found the courage to address

These problems. It will take

Time and solid leadership.

We have time but are a little bit

Short on leaders. We will not

Give up. We will always have a

Job to do. we just need the

Courage to continue.
