Puzzling Times



POLITICS and its process should
reflect the wishes of the people

UNITED we stand and divided we fall
And if we stand for nothing,
We are certain to fall for anything

ZERO must never be the sum total
of our progress

ZEALOUSNESS wrapped in principles
and the truth is powerful

LYING and cheating are evils,
even at the ballot boxes

I and you must demand truth from would-be
leaders without regard to winning and losing.

NO one, whether politician or president
is ever above the law

GOD'S hand is still stretched out to
those desiring His help


THE time is now for us to divert
from paths that lead to disaster

IN all branches of our government,
may God's light shine

MORALITY'S rapid descent to our
nation's basement must be averted

EVEN so, every effort must be exhausted
to halt this runner-away train

SADNESS and sorrow, I believe, will cover
the face of the earth if this our 'one nation
under God' should ever abandon God
