Why are you the chosen one?

Because someone had to be selected

and how do you know you are the one?

The answer is basic—intuition

I see and know the truth

I am sensitive to all needs and glories

I can endure failure, but lift —with

strength to get up and fight the battle again.

I will fight for rights taken away when

the fight is still appropriate.

Peoples throughout history have lost their

God given rights.  Somehow they have

strayed and chosen to serve false idols

leading eventually to exile.  Our country was

found as a place to escape religious persecution.

In the process of our growth, other peoples

have been defeated and left behind.

We did what we did; slaves were

brought here by slave masters. 

They were bought and sold and became

important beings in our growth and thankfully

were emancipated and then contributed

in numerous ways to make this country

amazingly successful.  I was the chosen one

and I saw the Manifest Destiny for what it was. 

There was opportunity for peaceful coexistence,

but human frailty dissolved it.  Agitators kept

the hostilities on edge and much harm was

endured before we finally came up with our

remarkable constitution.  Blacks were liberated,

but still found guilty just for existing. 

I saw the KKK operating in disguise, murdering many

beautiful beings just for existing even knowing

there is no valid reason for any killing.

I saw the hatred, the— I am better than you.  I could

not cry because I knew this was the nature of man.

The need for power swayed peoples mentality and

still exists today.  I see a peaceful coexistence if only

we could adjust our thinking; put our pride on hold, and

dedicate ourselves to universal peace.  As a man-angel

I knew and know that we have a long way to go. 

I see individuals who have become powerful and rich and

although they could be influential in bringing about

the glory which should be America they seek control

and power and ultimately total power.  That is why

I am here; this will never happen.  People will revolt;

even those on the other side will not choose misery. 

People will come around to the truth. 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. although no perfect

knew what trust, and peace would bring. 

I see Christians killed all around the world.

There is no outcry, but I will tell you this

as a chosen one that your personal peace

will be found in our big Brother; the one

Who laid down His life for us.

It is so good to be back

How many years has it been?

Too many to count and

Who has time to waste on counting?

You know what I’m going to say—

Don’t you—come on now, don’t deny it

You are beautiful; more beautiful

Than I can remember and I had

Great trepidation in not knowing for sure

But now that I am here I can tell you

That you exceed my expectations and

Already I am high on your welcome

And kindness and want to thank you.

I’ll tell you the truth, but then—

Don’t I always—you are an angel—

My angel and whether I deserve you

Or not, I’ll take you and together

We’ll travel if only in our minds;

If only through a hundred kisses;

To the pyramids and the Pyrenees;

The canyons and the plains.

We’ll witness delight in others as

We lie close together and talk like

We did about love and philosophy.

There will be on need to be shy

For nothing has changed in you or I

Just an interval which will be like

Extra frosting as we travel back and

Then come back to where we are.

It is so good to be back.

What do you call goodness friend?

It is probably not what you think.

Making peace with the devil in this

corrupted world is what will make you think. 

You align yourself with like thinkers;

listen carefully to their every word. 

Do not recognize the pre-disclosed interviews

and suddenly you are perishing by the sword. 

The rules are not complicated;

no one spent time in contemplation.

If they fit your agenda then they are okay;

but goodness, my friend, doesn’t work that way. 

The man who walked the water

was not that complicated. 

He was willing to die and then He rose;

the cause for a glorious celebration. 

He left us, but did not leave us alone. 

The Holy Spirit would sit on His throne. 

His friends cried when He had to leave;

they cried out that they were deceived. 

But, no, He taught them everything;

then issued an order for them to go. 

The spirit will be with you dear ones—

wherever you may choose to go. 

So goodness, my friend is not artificial. 

It has a deep and splendid meaning. 

But altered by smug and selfish men,

who transpose their human feelings and

are proud of the havoc they feel is normal

and place themselves above sins

even those which are carnal. 

Sorry dear friends this goodness is your downfall.

The cloud of Russian involvement—Russia Gate

What do you think my friend?

We are faded when the truth walks away

Those with the lies should walk the plank

to the very end for their sins

but there is no fear in swampland

we watch feet—see how they drag and then

are warmed up in the bed of the media,

who feel they have nothing to dread

There is no journalism now—is there?

Every announcer uses the very same words—

just listen—the very same words—

one after the other, but truth raises its head

and one by one the people begin to listen

The main stream media—guilty as you can tell

Just continue the smear campaign tactic and

will, right up to the election.  It started before

the last election and continued, putting the

President through what—a living hell?

In spite of all the investigations followed by

exonerations it was not the President who

was at play—understand?  Do you understand?

Outsiders are not welcome, but he was not

an ordinary man.  He made promises and kept them

even with all the pressure of investigations of him. 

He kept his promises and then some, beyond

the belief of most—giving back to the people

their dreams.  The deep state cover-up has not worked.

It has delayed releasing the information and

Will probably walk away unscathed and the

American people will be wondering about

how much trust can be placed in the FBI, the Courts,

Department of justice and IRS.  We shall see—won’t we?

The Man we depend on

We trample over

What He has told us

Apparently is not a mover

We know better than

The Man Who walked on the water

We are willing to stand by

And watch the slaughter

We dwell with men of wisdom

Men who have shown the way

It does not seem to matter

As we go about this day

Anger and huffily if

We feel short changed

As to our own actions

Some think we are deranged

Acting like we’re above it all

Evil we wouldn’t consider

But decline to improve condition

Then claim we are not quitters

Hypocrisy is the food we feed on

Our opinions are to be revered

But our collective actions from

What is right should be severed

Proud men walk with dignity

They enjoyed their ride

Smugness they carry with them

This they cannot hide

They forget about the Man

Who walked; a meaningful stride

Filled nets with plenty of fish

Did so without pride

The way is not always

easy to find, but

I can tell you one thing. 

If you make no attempt

you will remain lost and

always find an excuse on why

you never advanced in life. 

To accomplish takes action. 

Lip service does not count

and attempts impressing

through boastfulness is not useful

What you could have done makes

for a very nice story, but what you

actually do, even if it is not much,

gives you a lot more credibility

and may lead you to

the next valid step you take. 

As you analyze your progress,

you find that showing up is

an important part of success. 

Step by step you proceed and

sometime, somewhere, you

find the path to your way. 

You become useful and appreciated. 

Life has a new meaning for you. 

Self-esteem is important and

you find yourself full of it. 

Life take on new meaning and

it does because of you.

I am just a person

One of many

I have known billionaires

And those without a penny

What do I do?

My career may be over

But I keep looking for improvement

I avoid being offended

Everyone has their way

Some are in the coasting mode

I do not agree

It is a downhill road

I think of my good fortunate

Showing up everyday

Developed my core of ethics

Would not want it any other way

The “Content” of life is king

Falling short of potential is sad

But executing beyond expectation is

The thing that makes me glad

I am doing well

For this I am thankful

Come join me; I cry out

What else is there to strive for?

This is not pandering

To me it is intuitive

We must work for justice

Otherwise why live

I am just a person

Potential surely exists

I step up and do my part

Never worry about the risks

I look at other’s choices

Make no judgements

Wonder about the degree

Of their contentment

Live and let live

What brings you joy?

But I never have time

Could be your ploy

I am just one

Have viewed it all

Have not been perfect

But that’s a very close call

I know obligation

Have seen neglect

Our potential greatness

We must protect

The sound of her name is like a song

Powerful, but tapering to softness

Loveliest of all; always reaching out

Appears shy and quiet

Insightful in ways unexpected

Could make you laugh at yourself

Precious and beautiful

Humble, loving and caring

If offended she forgave;

Was there for you

Her eyes bewildering

One look makes you think and

Ask yourself if you are doing things right

An unforgettable smile;

One is tamed at first glance

Her amazing personality reflects

The goodness of her soul

You look and know her mind is

Full of good thoughts, often complex

Devoted, deep and ever exploring

Polite, always asking, so as not to offend

Inquisitive and inviting; always imagining

Begins tasks and continues to the end

Stunning, inside and out; always prepared

A sister to the many lucky enough to know her

Knew, so well, the miracle of life and

That life is a precious gift

Which has to be given back

Her angels came and took her soul

Leaving us empty and feeling lonely

We are less without her

Our heart aches when we hear the bells toll

They peal out her favorite words:

UMCOR, UMCOR, UMCOR

We stop and listen and make our resolve

The occupant of the White House

also known as President Trump

is, in the opinion of a poet with

a Doctor of Philosophy degree,

that he —the occupant—

represents the dark side of

his sycophants also referred to

as a cult-following thing

reminiscent most recently

of Hitler and Nazism. 

The erudite muse goes on

to claim that the occupant

is a glaring example of

the worst of what we are.

I look at the first three years

of his occupancy and see

the incredible accomplishments

he has made which have lifted

all of the people in this country

and also in the world.

The dark side of which he speaks

would be the swamp creatures

on both sides of the aisle and

the media which has been negative

over ninety percent of the time. 

He has also endured a senate

investigation, the Mueller investigation,

an impeachment, the whole Russian hoax

and still has done more good for

this country then all of the politicians

for the last fifty years

He may be a flawed diamond

but he has not suppressed anyone,

save a few thousand terrorists,

which puts a hole in the muse’s analogy. 

It is true that the Covid-19 pandemic

has put an ugly dress on

his achievements but

God willing we will overcome.

There is some basic pattern to all of the riots,

that is (peaceful protests) across the country in

Liberal controlled states and cities. 

Ask Candice Owens or Leo Terrell what they think. 

A U-Haul truck shows up with signs and riot material;

the anarchists arrive —take charge and all hell breaks loose.

Rich people are providing funds for

equipment and people expense. 

Ordinary citizens are drawn up into

the euphoria of violence, burning,

destruction and murder.  Why do they do this? 

Why do they desire Marxist Socialism? 

Is it so that they can control and have power. 

They will never have total power because

there would be an unraveling, a revolution

and a total unwinding of human kind. 

All of the promotors and their sycophants

would be the first to be wiped out. 

There are injustices but also ways to deal with them. 

We left Europe for freedom, fought and died for that freedom. 

We have made mistakes, but we have also

attempted to resolve these and have gone

the world over for the purpose of liberating others

or protect our right to survive.  How embarrassing

to see Christians hand cuffed for singing hymns

in Moscow, Idaho, or a mother arrested at

an outdoor football game because of no mask. 

We are subjecting ourselves to lockdowns

and masks when there is no evidence for

any advantage in doing so except for the extremely ill.

I pray to God that our country wakes up and does so real soon.
