We have emboldened our enemies
Radical politicians are to blame
Domestic terror and Marxist tendencies
Are these people really that insane?

Black Lives Matter and Antifa are socialist
They seek to create chaos on our streets
We diminish or ignore history in classrooms
An act of surrender; an admission of defeat

We are not a racist nation, but are
Constantly told we are by the leftist press
Now we witness all of the infighting
How do we allow ourselves into this mess?

Good men must not remain silent
Or progress of evil will have its fling
Triumph over this evil is so necessary
Sir Edmund Burke’s words have a familiar ring

The things that most believe in are
Being manipulated by the powerful few
We judge by character, not color
And race cannot be considered an issue

Socialism brings with it genocide
Look at the records of Mao, Hitler and Stalin
If we do not stand and speak out
We will have no way to count the fallen

I plan my landscape and 
begin the work and proceed 
along as my mind dictates
Then a change in order; 
tall shrub trees  will not be cut down, 
but all of the wild Juniper bushes, 
which are half-dead, 
surrounding the trees
Will be removed.  
It looks good to me
I keep going, thinning 
and removing all of the waste  
I look things over again
There is more to do, 
but this place is 
beginning to look like a park
So many times one gets frustrated 
Because everything does not fall 
into place as we intended
But I play it loose – anything goes
There is no set way and it is 
the results that count
As one project comes to an end 
another one comes to mind and 
then another and another, until 
the whole project is finished
It was a lot of work but then 
any composition is
What you see pleases the eye, 
the ear, and the nose
Nature gave us a canvas 
to work with and we can assist 
until our personal touch adds to 
What has been given to us
It is transformational, both 
to the land and the artist

You didn’t like the script
Nor the choreography
There was a disconnect
No questions about Covid-19
Or why are the schools not open
No calling on anyone who
Might ask this kind of question

The occupant had crib sheets
No fact checking on the truth
No questions on Hunter or
The gas prices or starving
Children at our Southern Border

Joe-Joe gives up on his own sentences
This is not funny – they kept him
Off of the campaign trail, but
Really that wasn’t necessary
Because the fix was already in place

Just look at the border – all of the
Progress previously made shut down
A return to the Obama-Biden Policies 
Now the Harris-Biden policies
The asylum seekers are released 
Into our communities.  They are law
Breakers – we have a legal way of
Immigration – in the mean time we
Had an agreement with the Mexican
Government to hold them in Mexico
Until the time of their court dates

The construction of the border wall
Was halted.  This during a pandemic
We must remember what we have
Forgotten – the constitution is important
So are reading, writing and arithmetic 
Children of all ages, when allowed back
Into the classroom do not need 
Indoctrination about racism or gender

They deserve and are entitled to be
Taught about the greatness of this
Country and how everyone has
The opportunity to succeed
Leftists do not like these ideas
They prefer socialism and endorse
With funding or silence the activities of
The Marxists groups:  Antifa and
Black Lives Matter

Joe-Joe was quiet as American
Cities burned this past summer
These were peaceful protests
George Floyd should never have
Been murdered by the policeman
This goes without saying

Kamala got up on her feet and
Raised millions in bail money to
Release the offenders in jail
There will be no justice

Victories are possible
They should be promoted
Kamala laughs and Joe-Joe stays
In the basement bunker

You do not know who you are
In your own eyes – a failure
But in most others – you are a star
You have been a giver, not
Concerned about the cost
A fighter for your community
Of which you care for the most
That is except for you family
Whom you obviously adore
Your pride for them sparkles in your eyes
They are foremost in your life
Still you wade through rough waters
Where you hope to find compatibility
In a place we may call the ego city
You have given and continue to do so
Take the risks which positions your flow
You dazzle, accomplish with silent flair
That is how you like it only few know you there
It is a crazy world in which we exist
You give to it your special twist
Make things happen that others ignore
You think about that distant shore

When the One Who counts gave instruction
Seek out the needy; give them your protection
Give of yourself for the sake of others
Their needs exceed your need for covers
This task you identify with and work
Hard amongst conflict, which seems absurd
When the final toll is taken and they
Measure all you achieved in stride
You can step up on the platform and bow with pride
You are a special one – a chosen one
And when you look back you will say it was fun
But not without your sacrifice – but then
You understand the surrender of Christ
You are a beauty, the salt of the earth
The angels will be waiting for you
When your time here is over; smiling with mirth
If only we could really seek out the truth
You would be there in the broadcast booth
Nothing to lose; singing out praises 
You are a daughter of heaven
Undertaking your duties on a field not even
Your smile will melt the hearts of the angels
Your truth serum will last through the ages

Over the years
When times are tough
I watch commercials
Promoting systems
That help you lose weight
Or go to a resort
At a discount price to
Enjoy all the amenities
Beyond our ability to process
And at the same time
We know that people are
Starving and thirsty in
Haiti, Nigeria, Syria 
And other places
We are so commercial
And at times oblivious to
The needs of others
People attend religious services
There seems to be a lack of empathy
For those truly in need, but
An emphasis on raising funds
For the local interests where
By enlarge, we are reasonably covered
What did Jesus, a Jew, have to say?
“Go to the fringes and serve;
The Holy Spirit will be with you.”
Do we need prompting beyond this?
We celebrate true heroes
Who bring tears to our eyes
Some have died serving us
While we worry about appearance
Do we need an ad from Jesus?
Or are we willing to bear the cross
We have so much potential
No one said that it would be easy

Silence is not all bad
Be at peace without speaking
Let your thoughts swirl in meditation
No need to speak out your thoughts
Listen to what nature says
You walk through the woods
Realization takes place – you
Do not have to speak – just listen
Your thoughts are valid and
Remain within you – no need to speak
A solid growth through meditation
There may be a time to express your views
But until then remain silent
If you know you remain silent
Those who do not know speak out
Potential good thoughts become corrupted
As they are often misinterpreted and
Unintended consequences result
Relationships are fractured and healing is slow
Silence is not all bad – it is desirable 
Involvement is a personal quality and often necessary
Progress is sometimes complicated because
Too many in the program speak out
Silence and hard work may be a better alternative
There is great joy in being at peace with yourself

I have been denied the opportunity
To engage in conversation with one
Or ones whom I have had an interest in
In order to develop a relationship with
There are legitimate reasons which I accept
But still I wait until I make a breakthrough
And in my opinion, some fine female person
Will be engaged with someone; that would be me
I would love, honor, and respect her and
Make a covenant with her that will
Leave us bonded for life.  It may be a dream
But I am a dreamer and believe in the Hand
Of the Lord.  I continue to pray and never
Know what His answer may be, but
I wait, content to be myself and stay
Within myself.  Life is a precious gift and
With it come many opportunities
We may serve and in the end be served
Humankind works that way; you give 
And as a result are given back many
Times over, a gift beyond expectations
So I keep moving forward and wait
Someone is bound to speak positively 
I want that day to come

Most like order and simplicity
Complication and confrontation are
An ongoing part of our society
We choose sides and then begin 
The blame game.  The unintended
Consequences of forging ahead with
Unknown entities, who say one thing
And the because of their nature do another
Which is invariably contrary to our best interests
I look at the border.  President Reagan
Gave amnesty to many thousands of illegals
With the proviso that we secure the border
Over the years nothing had been done
Except for the rhetoric, agreeing with
Reagan, but remaining inert in
Regards to action in making it happen
Donald Trump, while under constant
Duress by the left managed to build a wall
And make a deal with the Mexican Government
To keep the people looking for asylum 
In Mexico until their case could be heard
The wall was not complete when he left office
The new administration by executive order
Stopped construction and also quit the 
Agreement with Mexico, releasing the
Illegals into our country without checking
And background on them or testing them
For Covid-19 or any other transmittable disease
Thus the Occupant put our citizens at risk
They are receiving money, housing, Food-stamps 
And health care, all by executive order
The children are retained at the border in
Pathetic conditions, while cartels are
Involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling
And sex slavery while the claims are
That there is no crisis at the border
Another area of concern is our weak stance 
Against China and Russia.  We have become
A laughing stock in the world order
Wave you flags, I say to the swamp people
Have it your way.  How do you feel about
Order and simplicity?  I wonder

Any objective person
Has to concede that
We made a “huge” mistake
In accepting “Joe, Joe” Biden
As the President of the U.S. A.
We no longer have a border
Millions and billions, if not
Trillions of dollars are at stake
The so called “media” is compliant
How can we as country allow this?
We are headed for disaster
The proud will deny this
But they will be buried with
Their truth which is enshrouded
In denial – but still denial has
Never averted eminent disaster
The real truth is obvious
We do not have to wait for
Others to point it out to us
It is not affecting your right now?
Just wait a moment, a day,
A month or even a year
Precious ones will be lost
Because of stupidity
The constitution is trying to be
Trampled upon and the race card
Is constantly being played by the left
They are looking for Mr. Goodbar
By means of dreadful deception
They want power so that they 
Can provide equality for us
Everyone will be equally miserable
