Notes About The Poem

Social

Social…

The reason that socialism
does not work, 
is because it is not 
truly social. 

It means that, you…we…me…
and us… are all the same…
Yet, we are not made that way. 

Some…
Stand out. 
As seen in our past… clearly.
People that did things, 
sons, and daughters of the fearless, 
measured only by their equal commitment,
between Holy God and Our Country. 
Until “they” erase it for, offense. 

Yet with it go our heroes. 
The ones that… 
Stand up, 
Stand for,
Stand in the way, 
Stand against!

If all are just alike, there will 
be no need for champions…..(whispered) 
Life will have lost value,
and a meaning that can not be
manufactured.

Glory will die.

Ann, this is insanely wise of you. God would have never made any of us exactly alike; He was too wise for that! Nicely penned.

You are truly kind. His grace and glory are beyond words, but I, am honored by your lovely comments. Sweet baby breath, wrapped lightly among sprigs of mint... Apricot tea and homemade cookies with friends... always...let us sit under the tree, and laugh... Ann
