THE ARENA OF POSSIBILITIES

 
 
 
 We are told by many of possibilities

 We look at those telling this story

 They are the well-connected;

 Already in power and usually 

 Indebted to power brokers because

 They have sold their souls

 They sit at the table where decisions

 Are made and make their choices as

 Instructed by those who own them

 This is not what America should be

 These people will ultimately fail

 We can do the unthinkable

 We are a nation of faith

 We have been lied to by those we voted for

 Have lost jobs because of their decisions

 Have opened our border to illegals

 They cannot be retained or released to Mexico

 We have promised them housing, food and health care

 This is while millions of Americans are struggling

 We must keep our faith and have undaunted courage

 There is power in the number of people who believe

 In spite of the odds we must persevere

 In spite of the odds we must join to fight

 What lies in front of us seems insurmountable

 Our forefathers faced down and defeated their enemies

 We can do the same with our ideas, courage and will

THE SPIRIT IN THE SKY

 
 
 
 The oneness of us all
    Does not have any influence
       When we point out our diversities
  
 How different are we 
    From each other could be the question
  
 What is our number?
    Would be the answer
  
 Yet, we have one sun, giving light
    On one day, which will have rhythms 
       Different for each of us who
  
 Have our own politics, religion, and methods
    But, none-the-less will answer to and be watched over
       By that Spirit in the sky, today and all days
  
 When did we become so arrogant, elevating ourselves
    As individuals or collectives to a superior position
       Than those who have come before?
  
 We have the same stars and moons 
    The ocean tides change the same
       Days begin and end like birth and death
  
 Who can proclaim aloneness or credit when
    So many came together to advance our state of being
       Relying on the grace of the Holy Spirit
  
 We proclaim and draw swords, divide and conquer
    Live wretched lives that have no ethic and in this midst
       The Spirit, somehow, moves us forward and allows us error
  
 What is life?  If we have seen the seasons we have seen life
    Pockets are picked while a pickpocket hangs at the gallows
       When will we learn what is important?  The Spirit waits,
          Does not intervene.  We have free will.  It is up to us
  
 We will release our anxieties and believe the words we speak
    Forgive in truth and live fulfilled, when we reach for His hand
       The Spirit in the sky - - - waiting for us, waiting for that day

WHAT DO WE REMEMBER

 
 
 
 There are so many good people

 Who take the wrong path because

 That is the path they have always taken

 They instinctively follow it because

 Time was never taken to apply critical thinking

 We all have the feeling of being safe guarded

 Go about our business with no thought

 That our freedom could come tumbling down

 Reality jars our disposition, as avenues

 Of relief dissolve before our eyes

 Still the misinformed cling to their position

 And find an avenue to spew their disgust

 It is difficult to observe the survivors of

 Needless killings of innocent family members

 When this happens there is no recourse because

 The rule of law has long been obliterated

 I see the smiles of the survivors who

 Have holes in their hearts, 

 but still have each other for now
  
 It is time for a great awakening

 Supreme power yields to “Love Thy Neighbor”

 It is not a joy to watch our liberties being taken away

 We forget about the little things we must do to help 

 Secure the future for our children

 We forget about standing up for what is right

 We forget about the “Light” which will overcome all darkness

ARE WE LOSING IT

 
 
 
 There are many who wonder

 How can our country go?

 From being the best we can be

 To a rung on lower skid row

 From the waving of Old Glory

 When we march down the street

 To the burning it in anger

 Then trampling it with our feet

 There are those who hate us

 And are living here within

 Planning our destruction

 I consider this a cardinal sin

 The pandemic is the reason

 It provides a unique cover up

 Fiats closing churches, and schools

 Violence was bound to erupt

 Peaceful protests were infiltrated

 By Antifa and black lives matter

 These were the villains

 That caused all the splatter

 A well-orchestrated plan to

 Cause fear and upheaval

 Reported virus deaths misleading

 Just another form of evil

 When bad things happen we blame

 It is easy to attack the president

 If we don’t accept responsibility

 We will be wondering where the country went

GROUND HOG SMILES

 
 
 
 The weather is great

 A beautiful sunset

 From my window I could see
 
 The golden dune grass

 Waving in the soft breeze

 This was while the weather reporters

 Were predicting a huge snow storm

 Seven to ten inches; I proclaimed:

 There shall be no snow before its time

 Schools were cancelled for two days

 The next day; no snow; it was not time

 That evening I could not see the sun and

 It started to spit snow after dark

 The next morning; I had to say:  It is time

 Six to twelve inches of lovely white snow

 I started my snow blower

 Worked for two hours clearing the drive

 Also my parking area and some of the road

 County workers had not yet arrived

 There was no traffic except for one truck

 It is February; the groundhog saw its shadow

WHAT IS THE OCCUPANT DOING

 
 
 

 Chemicals from China converted to a dangerous form of Fentanyl
 
 By the Mexican Cartels who are basically ruling Mexico

 The conversion takes place in labs paid for by the Chinese

 Then brought into the United States by coyotes to meet
 
 The needs of the addicted who are dying of overdose
 
 At the rate of fifty thousand per year

 What are we doing opening up the borders and

 Inviting illegals into the country with the promise of benefits

 They will compete for jobs while Americans are trying

 To recover from the devastation of the Corona pandemic

 We claim that Antifa is just a myth

 Fund abortions in other countries by the Catholic Occupant

 Give over 600 million of Covid-19 Relief money to Nigerian scammers

 We stop building the fence promoted at one time by all of the Liberals

 We are putting stress on the men and women of ICE as 

 We capture and release into our country instead of Mexico

 The occupant stops the pipeline and fracking on Federal land

 Costing hundreds of thousands jobs and threatening our energy independence 

 All of this calamity is the result of the predictable consequences of Marxist Socialism

 From first to last in two weeks; I hope everyone is happy

THE ROAD TO SOMEWHERE

 
 
 

 
 There are journeys to take

 But you begin by taking steps

 It would be good to know

 Where you are going or

 Why begin at all?

 Direction comes from many places

 Advice is an unlimited commodity

 Example has a way of being admired

 Do you want to hear a sermon

 Or do you want to see a sermon?

 What gives joy in life?

 Jesus said, “Follow Me”

 One may dwell on those four words

 Carry them with you as a spark

 Let them be your guide

 The journey will be marvelous

TRUTH WILL NOT BE DENIED

 
 
 
 There are a lot of opinions
 The press promotes or suppresses
 Depending on how they will affect agenda
 It is without a doubt not blind justice
 The swamp can bury us all, but
 There are many in denial
 They cannot believe that what they are for
 Is the exact opposite of their grandfathers
 This eroding takes place over generations
 The truth is buried and covered by the left
 The followers are happy waving flags
 Their side is victorious and
 Win though they know not the consequences
 They go along with the dispelling of
 All the acts which made us successful
 The Covid-19 pandemic changed everything
 Conditions that went south were blamed
 On the President who in retrospect did
 Everything correctly while Dr. Fauci was wrong
 Comrade Napoleon Fauci had his own agenda
 States changed their voting laws to ensure
 A victory over the man who was making
 America great again; first again and sadly
 Black Americans who agreed with the President 
 Were called White Supremacists 
 We are all imperfect; a fact undeniable
 I am not a White Supremacist but
 Rather a “Light Supremacist
 This “Light” will overcome all darkness
 Then those who advocate oppression of life
 And religion will be crying out and 
 We will, with sorrow, hear the gnashing of teeth

UNMASKED

 
 

 Far left domestic terrorism
 How can one not see this?
 What is the end game?
 Radicalization of members
 Brain washed to destroy and kill
 No tolerance for opposition
 Peaceful protests which take lives
 Destroys others along with hope
 Buildings destroyed; businesses looted
 Set on fire along with our flag
 Victims plea their cases to no avail
 They are called the instigators
 Our rights to exist are on the line
 Nothing in the world surprises us anymore
 Many are content with their political position
 They are ready to argue for or against
 Critical thinking is apparently foreign to them
 Our two parties have changed dramatically
 Politicians consider longevity over duty
 Liberals from each party are bought and paid for
 Elected “paupers” become millionaires
 What is good for the country is set aside
 We are being fooled for the most part
 We must pass a bill so we can see what is in it
 Big Tech is allowed to control free speech
 Their billions have become a mental hurdle
 We collectively, regardless of party, must stand up
 It is time to unmask the truth

DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH

 
 
 
 What is incitement?
 Ask Maxine Waters
 Or Chuck Schumer
 Or Camila Harris
 It may have just been chatter
 And it may not matter
 But what they said exceeded
 Former President Trump’s remarks
 In the arena of incitement
 He called on the rally to
 March peacefully and express
 Your opinions on the election
 His incitement was one of peace
 Conclusions were jumped to
 Later evidence showed that
 The insurrection was planned
 By Antifa and others
 Pipe bombs were found the night before
 Innocent curious marchers were
 Encouraged to go into the
 Capitol Building with the guards
 Holding doors open for them
 They were led to the chamber
 By the guards there to protect
 When the numbers are added
 It appears to be a set up
 Which cost lives and injuries
 Will we ever learn?
 Do not hold your breath
