Even in the best of times
Not much goes unnoticed
Except perhaps what will come
Reminds us where we’re rooted
As children we all will grow
No attempt to the unknown
I’m into family and success
As far as the seed is thrown
What suites you I wish you best
Whatever you want to recover
We are the best and damn the rest
To a future we hope rediscover
Our next of kin shall begin
Our moment of discovery
When peaceful demonstrations
Don't fade away and away
Or lead us astray in any way
From all we call contenders
We reach up with a hand that’s fast
For freedom that lasts and lasts
What we are fighting for
I rest my case and still adore
A country named..... America

When the axe came into the forest the trees said at least the handle is one of us
- Turkish Proverb
cartridge cases
jungle towns
all quiet the night
down in Despot Downs
junta junta
retort's out of bounds
camo couture
down in Despot Downs
insurgent fervour
vicious hounds
care where you step
down in Despot Downs

America preaches world should follow their lead
people worldwide beseech our 'freedom' indeed
Our forefathers Constitution was brilliantly done
"We The People" defines Nation of one
Fallacious was 'Equality' and 'Justice for All'
in no country could that ever befall
Dreams of a free society came true
every freedom gov't often denies you
Americas' forced poverty behind rife despair
leaders HATE having to pretend to care
"God Bless America"...last words politicians say
they covet only power and prestige everyday
Please tone down the America's so Great
political correctness a disease born from hate
America deemed the melting pot of Earth
this reality has diminished American citizens worth
Mass diversity bound to bring about unrest
imbecilic ideology behind massive failed test
Patriots will mend Lady Americas' heart
A 'United States' divided inevitable from start

When its pitch dark after supper
And you find yourself wanderin’ home
You know you should just keep going
But you don’t always want to be alone
That’s just the right reason I guess
To help us all understand
A special moment to gather
And stand tall among each other
This special bond of patriotism
Never gathered never learned
Still just as important as ever
A lifestyle we were born
I love the ways the stars appear
Each and every night
If I could just paint better
Than I could describe whatever
I would behold something beautiful
As only life we can give to each other
One life one world one generation
We cannot behold to time
What belongs to us
What we wake up with every morning
What is betrayal as sins against us
What we endear to learn foreboding
What we encounter every day
What we have courage to defend
To engage and construct a step forward
We must never disengage each other
Togetherness makes us strong

Euphoric sound echoes from the guitarist profound Riff
ire inevitable when listening to slimiest of snakes Shiff
Perpetual mendacity makes up unashamed Inner beast
on colleagues across the isle he's eager to feast
an*l Adam most sinister politician I've ever eyed
Crocodile tears on cue confirms dignity is fried
Politics loathed because societal concerns aren't served
for corrupt self-servers leadership positions undeserved
'The Donald' announcing his run made Deep State slither out
before getting elected Impeachment was being talked about
Media fully complicit in Dems pursuance of election stealing
vile attempts at Impeaching Trump induced sinking feeling
Pencil necks equally repugnant villain leader Chuck tumor
persons of venomous character not some fallacious rumor
The evil twins had their partisan "Impeach Trump Trial"
Donald J's acquittals will haunt forever not just a while
No other president could withstand wickedness he had to
overly achieved despite daily harassment he's put through
Foolish radicals ramp up their insanity which can't end well
pretzel democrats vow to continue Trump impeachment hell

it"s 2020. we"ve got so many important things to do this year.
forget the walking and the talking and let"s start running to the beat of the drum.
first go out and fight for what you love and what is right, and do not bend to the chaos all around
if we are going to survive, we must dig our heels in to thrive and take a hard stand to anyone who burns our flag.
in 2019 we passed the buck, now crime has run amuck
and we must stop it in its tracks.now is the time america. fall back and you will never get another chance. FORGE AHEAD NOW.

THINGS HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HAND
Post Comment
On the eleventh day of September Two-thousand one
planned attacks on American soil were successfully done
Nation's belief of invincibility instantly turned to fear
while the vile perpetrators rejoice in victorious cheer
Inhumane Radical Islam reared it's hideous head
nation and allies abroad mourn thousands dead
Terrorist are born and bred in the Middle East
so-called allies willfully harbor these savage beast
Some believe bureaucrats were part of avoidable fate
if truth ever surfaces society may angrily vent hate
All civilized nations concur terrorism MUST cease
culprits must be eradicated in the name of peace
They're convinced Americas' the true EVIL EMPIRE
desire to eliminate the 'Infidel' shall never tire
The world succumbing to Islam their end game
soulless terrorist slaughter innocent in Allah's name
Pretzel interpretation of Koran drastically blurs view
devoid of reason assures conflict can't reach through
To be so monstrous one is indubitably cursed
9/11/2001 the day remembered as our histories worst

you are full of nonesense
you don't know what it takes to end this
Calamities?
you have been using the same strategy
based on crippling these terrorists?
yet on the back of your mind,
nothing changes?
Insanity, even I know, as it was said:
doing the same thing over and over again
and yet expecting different result?
you have to be out of your mind.
sure you promise to reinforce more
of what you have done.
fact is: you can bleed them dry
cut off the fuel that sparks their guts
annihilate them before they wipe us
didn't you say, this attack is against humanity?
and yet you are standing there talking nonsense?
on top of that, you are claiming that:
ISIS doesn't represent Islam,
yet how do you explain that when the attack is done.
they are shouting, "allah akbar?
whatever that means?
they claim they do it in the name of their god
and here you are saying, it is not?
you are deaf and blind, but not stupid and dumb.

About this poem:
I might be wrong but he just claimed this fight is not about Islam,
yet he fails to address that when an attack is done,
it is claimed to glorify their god?
Note: in the mechanics of politics, he does work on pleasing both the original 13 groups that run our government of whom control the commercialism and profit induced ventures (Rockefellers, Magnin, Rosenthals...) and the lowly like you and me.
Not easy and don't get me wrong, I am not implying that our ideology and principles are bad compared to socialist, fascist governments of the world. No all I am saying is, we can do better. He can stop this madness should he choose to. Stop the evil brainwashing of these monsters to young kids who will carry their goal (suicide bombers), they are just as victims and you and me. Educate them as young that no God, allow anyone to harm anybody, let alone, kill. Easy. Isolate them and change the system.

It's Liberty or Death,
Until my dying breath,
Libertas Aut Mors!,
Re-forge the broken sword,
War to end all wars,
What are we fighting for?,
Liberty or I can't function,
Mutually Assured Destruction,
Mutiny aboard the Dutchman,
Liberty or Death!,
Yes!...,
Liberty or death!,
Libertas Aut Mors!,
She holds a flaming torch,
What are we fighting for?
Liberty!,... I mean it,
Liberty!,... I bleed it,
Liberty!,... I scream it,
Liberty!...,
Or Death!

Should we keep our minds
Unspoken
So the world thrives
In ignorance
Or should we undo
our silence
So the corrupt
Ends their arrogance?

I do. If it's for the betterment of humanity, I will not forgo any chances that solicits change.
