In what may well be called “passive oblivion”Too many choose to live their lives in that as one.They’re much too busy living their own lives to care;What’s going on around them they don’t care to share.They abhor politics, they say—for that, care less;Besides, what can they do? To them it’s
I have been a lot of placesAnd have seen a lot of facesOf most any kind of person, where, and when.Of them all the most beguilingWould be those who would be smilingWith a smile brought on by seeing you again.Though misfortune may have found themOr poor circumstance surround them,Yet their
It does not get better than this, I insist;It’s something delightful and not to be missed.Which makes me, of course, entertain thoughts of you,In wishing, and hoping, you find goodness, too.I’d also prefer it to be a surprise;But, with that, be something you’d instantly prize.For life is too short to
Through history, most governments are formed by forceOr accident—and this has been the normal course,Until, in 1787, came a voiceInsisting it be made through reflection and choice.Not only was this unheard of, but viewed with doubt—In governing, the common citizen was out. Our Constitution brought new concepts into play;But many
This is an honest effort to make voters think;For this is not the time to let our fortunes sink.Americans will fight against all doom and gloom;It’s in our make-up—we give optimism room.No matter what, we will ourselves to forge aheadAnd that mind-set has always stood us in good stead!In fact,
There were these three inebriated mice,Where each had been told bluntly, more than twice.To leave that leaking bubbly stuff alone,For, if ignored, then each would surely groan.But they convinced themselves that it was fun,Oblivious to what they’d feel when done.But, what they didn’t know, the farmer’s wife,Already drunk, was wielding
If anger is allowed to show, then you must work at it.The ease in which that may occur, then other factors fit.When anger, as a form of hatred, gets your mind to seize.What happens next may be an episode not meant to please.But get this: as a human mind-set, it
What do you know, or think you know, about most slavery?The first term that should come to mind is your dependency.But here is something you’d be smart to really understand;The way our Constitution was delivered to this land.It was released for public viewing, under no dictate;Which meant, for instance, we,
To those who still are young, with an inquiring mind,I hope that makes you into an inquiring find.Don’t take what science tells you now as the last word;Because, if you inquire at length, that is absurd. Accepted geniuses are geniuses, that’s true!Regardless, there is no eliminating you!There is but one
One day good, the next day not, and death has come to call.This is what we’re dealing with, and that includes us all.But, when weeks go by with nothing happening to us,We will get our dander up—start mouthing “what’s the fuss!”Then the ‘no one’s going to tell me what to
As human, we may never grasp the strength of God;To fully grasp an understanding of how broadHis powers are, perhaps to even recognizeAt least a pittance where we’re standing in His eyes.Another thing, why are we shaped the way we are?To see what we would do with intellect? How far,In
The liberal mentality you know is not the sameAs it is practiced in today’s world quite another game.The average voter is not capable to know or careWhat ruling nations do—like…anything they dare! This devious manipulation of the public voiceHas only one objective—minimize your choice.The leaders they will pick will rule
As to the person reading this, I do not care;For what is being written is for all to share.This social unrest we again are going throughCannot be seen as having nothing to do with you.You don’t burn down the outhouse just because of smell;For what you claim you dislike comes
This is the best imperative directive of today—In fact, it is OUR day, our very own, in every way.Despite our age, we know enough about it to be proud;To bask in the traditions of it, be it long and loud. It’s the 4th of July, a singular event when said;Responsible,
By what and how you have been influenced will show\In certain habits and demeanor as you growInto your own adulthood; nothing having hadMore influence, in many ways, than your Dad! Father’s Day, therefore, should not be shoved aside,As being “no big deal,” but gladly viewed with pride;Assuming that you like
I never knew we had it so good, ‘til I saw it ghastly;For this pandemic was so bad, too many saw it lastly.Yankee Doodle watch your step, Yankee Doodle DandyMind your distance, and your prep, and keep the face mask handy. Mother and I would like to camp, and carry
There’s nothing like it in the world; it is our flag, Old Glory!It well could be the focal point for any storyThat has to do with our existence from the start,Where it gives patriotism, dedication, heartIt symbolizes who we are, a trait we earn;Our faith in it is evident at
This day is set aside for those who died in war;To pay them homage and respect for sacrifice and more.This day should be one where we try to reach and touchBecause, not having been in war, you really don’t know much.For instance, take the veteran who has a Purple Heart;What
No matter how you look at it, we have been through a lot;To see something like this occurring, no one would have thought.In fact, it hit us in the face much like a thrown pie;And we were not prepared for it, that no one can deny.At first, consensus thought that
I think it sensible, and long past due, to seeThat female warriors, the Amazons, can beDefinitively acknowledged to be real, not myth,Where actual remains show what we’re dealing with.I guess it rests on how you view the female clan;In many ways they are the equal to a man.Accepting the vast
