This write is primeraly about the change happening as
The Christian base, for that which built America seems to be
Fading away? 'the whole land it appears has become challenged'
Maybe the way out is through a spiritual struggle? And
A step away from macro governance? I do not advocate
Violence. ' I am against wars.! They are the prime cause
Of upheaval, and displacment, we will always have a
Struggle even with our own selves! until the day of our
Lords reign, we will never be truly whole ' for referrance i use
The word idle ( to draw inferrance from idol and idyll the first
From the t v show and the other as in the regular meaning of idyll.'
Why are 'the states' in such a state? On a teeter-totter'
Of neglect, and fate.? A stateles place an oxymoron?
With a surging mass they, can't shut the door on.?
Yet the source is not from accross far lands, it springs
From a fountain, more near at hand' along foul halls
It seems to run.? down from a 'big house' a'wash in scum
It needs a clean up I hear some say, on tv and radio just
By the way.' There are fifty states under 'a sun' that could
Dry this place.' And work could get done?.'either at the
Border' or too 'cap it all' in response to the many dis-stress
Calls.' governments seem always to want people.' to pitch
Up and mend some fences or steeples.' It was one if by
Land! And that place was needed.' To show either lamp' a
A strong church building.' Then you can climb the ramp.'
Of life, it leads to adventure, and yes there's some strife? a
Fight' Away from old money, emperors and kings and those other
More certain things..Away from poverty and the foreign influence Rings? Unto a plain; a place thats clear where vision can
Focus, on what is dear' on liberty good life, freedom and people
Who can.' welcome others to sound reality, a place of safety
Of equal chance, where theres work and rest, a place to
Advance, in peace through strength, and human accord
Could this be achieved. Or are all?
just simply too bored.?
