NEARLY TIME FOR TAPS…

(One Poet’s Opinion)

–

American stars and stripes,

Wave in fading light…

Spotlights glow

So we know,

Out flag is doing alright.

–

As for the country we cringe,

What is the next freedom impinged…

Ignored laws unliked,

Disapproval spiked,

The Administration acts unhinged.

–

And our leader of the free world,

Hates the country where he’s raising his girls…

They’ve openly proved

Suffering leaves them unmoved,

Unless there’s a news crew to twirl.

–

The “Change” is here,

Reaching for freedoms held dear…

Does what he likes–

Avoids open mikes–

Eventually his plan was made clear.

–

The ultimate patriotic sin

Is to tear us down from within…

Conquer-divide

While goodies are eyed,

The rest of us thrown in a bin.

–

The problem is, both sides

Seem to have similar prides…

Quietly taking

From upside-down shaking,

While laws are broken–each abides.

–

Who will call this to task,

Doesn’t seem to be any to ask…

Will any act

Or all are in fact

Willing to put we voters dead last?

JESUS WEEPS.

JESUS WEEPS…!

(An opinion piece)

–

For all the children eaten,

For all His people beaten…

At least they’ll see

Eternity

Away from life so fleeting.

–

Those who sit by,

Should hear the tortured cry…

Of a god and his raiders,

Hateful invaders,

Who make victims want to die!

–

“Progressives” who don’t care a whit,

Yawn saying “get on with it”…

So we can win

Not looking at sin,

“That doesn’t bother us one bit.”

–

They call themselves upright,

But that won’t wash tonight…

Jesus weeps

While a ruler keeps

His vacation schedule tight.

DAY OF THE DEAD

DAY OF THE DEAD

–

Observing the Day of the Dead,

Of it this can be said…

Families

In cemeteries,

Honor ancestral dead.
