Home...

Home is sweet, not bitter,
Home is fun, not a drag,
Home is full of meaning, not a perplex,
Home is perfect, not an angst,
Home is right, not wrong,
Home is easy, not difficult...



Home is an anchor,
Home is where you hear laughter,
Home is warm and fuzzy,
Home is where earl grey tea tastes better,
Home is a delight,
Home is exciting,
Home is where Mom is,
Home is where the children are,
Home is where your friends are and people who smile at you,
Home is where your work is,
Home is where you can take your mask off and be yourself,
Home is where you are,
Home is... home...

REALITY/FACTS

"People can't handle the truth" FACT ONE
the following and more weigh on me a ton

These words won't set well with many of you
because you disagree doesn't make them less true
Many laws of this land are at best a cruel joke
most always only relevant to the less fortunate folk

"The Great Satan" many proclaim America to be
theirs valid evidence making it impossible to disagree
The wealthy make their own rules to assure they go free
fact is Government doesn't give a damn about you or me

Americas' guilty of as much evil as any other government
fallacious leaders who dismiss real Americans sentiment
Govt' decided our country should be the melting pot of Earth
no regard for "We The People" further proving our true worth

Govt' fantasized unity was possible in an overly diverse population
that ignorance is reason ONE behind the demise of this nation
Govt' turned a once great land into everything but a United State
a tragedy conducive to perpetual resentment and inextricable hate

They won't tolerate anyone uttering truths that aren't theirs
free speech if your not inquisitive of their illicit affairs
They inform us about what they want no more no less
covering up their iniquities with lies rather than confess

Learn to accept that these words are indubitably reality
believing politicians care reflects a clueless mentality

Forgotten Mom

All I talked about was you
The months before you were home
Not a call or a text, but on facebook
I find out your home like everyone else

She got the surprise
A hug she could not even give
I'd given you hugs and kisses
And said I'm so proud and cry

I know you never meant to hurt me
But that night I cried like a baby
A mother needs to know she's loved
Just like a son needs to be proud of

I wanted to know when you'd be home
So I could arrange some time to spend
You could not give me that
Yet it was the night before you left

You still haven't changed
Still avoiding situations
Like not knowing how to tell people
You just want to hang with friends

But I'm YOUR MOM dammit
I think I have the right
To see you more than once
The 2 weeks you're home from Kuwait

Maybe I wasn't a good mom
Is this really what you think
But you won't tell me
Cause you'll avoid that just the same

She texted me to let me know you'd be home
So I called and texted,
I'm home on facebook you said
Yet no reply I got

Your actions speak louder
Than the few words you say
I see where I stand
In your small world you stay

A Prayer for America

I said prayer for you today
I hope you didn't mind
I asked God to comfort you
And put you tears behind

I prayed for peace and mercy too
To help you through these days
And for his loving guidance.
As he leads you on your way

You need not walk this path alone
Just turn around you'll see
You have families and friends
To help make your pain ease

I prayed for miracles
And hope and happiness
And also asked to bless you...
When you are so stressed

I said prayer for you today
I hope you didn't mind
I just wanted to make sure
As I knelt down to pray

Please god, bless us America
Watch over and keep us strong

Twas The Night Before Elections

Twas The Night Before Elections

Twas the night before elections and all through the town
Tempers were flaring and emotion were up and down

There in my PJ's my dinner plate in my lap
I shut off the TV being so tired of the political crap

When all of a sudden there arose such a noise
I peered out my window to see Obama coming with his boys

They had come for my wallet and were wanting all my pay
To hand it out to all their followers who had never worked a day

Obama grinned as he snatched up my money quick as a wink
And jumped back on his band wagon as I gagged from the stink

He rallied his evil henchmen that were chained to his cart
It's clear they were out to tear the good ole USA apart

On Fannie, on Freddie, on Biden, on Ayres
On Acorn, on Pelosi he screamed at his horrible pairs

They took off for Obama's evil cause and as they flew out of sight
They were laughing at the nation that refused to stand up and fight

Now here is where I must leave you all, I have just this one final note!!
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM GET YOUR A$$ OUT AND VOTE!

reveal

To unravel your words
With a wisdom of ages
To interpret them
With the knowlege of sages
To fill my own reasoning
With thoughts that share
Are hand written words
That the soul did prepare
Many ways you can see
Many ways you can feel
The honesty of ink
Is the way to reveal...

Bill Clinton Speech

Howdy folks!
I was your president from 1993-2001
I made believe that I was against George Bush Sr.
I lied
I pretended I cared about the American people
I passed NAFTA
I encouraged illegal aliens to steal their jobs
Through insourcing and outsourcing
I passed the biggest tax increase in 1993
I said I was against Mitt Romney a few days ago
Mitt Romney is no different than Barack Obama
We all work for elitist and are paid well to lie to you
I am worth over 100 million dollars now
My wife get to be a big world leader
In excange for my cheating with Monica, Jennifer,
Too many to count
Schucks
I'm just a hillbilly from Arkansas

About this poem:
We are being played for suckers in this country to think that your vote makes a difference if you vote for democrat or republican. I only voted third party twice, I'm thinking I need to do it again.

soulgoddess challenge peace

For all around i hear
the voices of the
young asking for peace
to be supported by
every end.
They want war to stop
and peace to begin.
They can not believe
how long the war has
gone on for.
I wait patiently to
see if this will happen
in my time or for thee.
I pray to God for him
to bring peace for
all of his country.
I devote this to my
fellow comrades who
serve with me and
now protect this
C O U N T R Y.

Write For Peace (Soulgoddess challenge-Acrostic)

Worldwide love of nature shared by all
Responsible leaders whose egos fall
Into cities let the green earth sprawl
Take the hand of all those who crawl
Energy made by every roof and wall

Foster belief in fairness for us all
Outlaw nuclear weapons in a brawl
Respect those who answer our call

Prayers when natural disasters befall
Equality for all nations in every trawl
A place for every culture at the mall
Creating goodwill by standing tall
Every voice is heard at town hall

About this poem:
Acrostic poetry style to hopefully list a few universal ideals for "Peace" which I believe really starts with 'respect' and 'equality' for everyone else in the world.

Ronald Reagan at the Republican Covention

Well
I bet you didn't expect to see me here
They froze my body and thaw me out every four years
So I can tell you how proud I am of all of you
You have expanded on my plans of crushing unions
I big shout out to Scott Walker
I never did real good in Wisconsin
Seeing Walker do what he has done makes me real proud
I would also like to thanks my predecessors
Bush and son Bush
You did a real good job in Iraq
For all I did for you
I ask for only one thing
Put my face on Mt Rushmore
One more thing before I got back in deep freeze
If you look under your seat
You will find a box of jelly beans
Black, my favorite color
Well
See you all again in 2016!

About this poem:
Watching the Republican Convention last night, I thought about Ronald Reagan who was our president from 1981-1989. I thought what he would say if he was still alive, or at least what I would make him say. I still have no idea who I am voting for, mabe Ron Paul will run on a third party.
