Notes About The Poem

Tribute To a Leader

~Tribute to A Leader~


        High above Mount Rushmore,
        a man with courage flies.
        His history of endless integrity,
        matches the blue, righteous skies.
        Character and commitment do
        historical figures make.
        No, ne'er a dishonest man, who's 
        in it, just for the egotistical take.

        Great leaders, once in a lifetime!
        While twits squabble over the maningless 
        ones, at the local bar.
        Demeanors are a dime a dozen, with
        nothing but critical repertoire!
        While masters in leadership, fly above
        all the rest.
        They already proved they are the best.


        Fly on, Great Eagle and may all good
        things come your way.
        You have kept all your promises to all
        your people, how oft I heard you say.
        Tonight, we light candles for you at
        home in loving, peaceful,gratitude.
        We learned from you, being honest is the
        most formidable, honorable attitude!

He made promises and kept them. He accomplished what he said he would. His words led to action to taking care of "America First." In two days we have had the unraveling of an energy plan which makes Saudi First. It makes us dependent on other countries when we have been able to be independent. How many jobs have we just lost in two days? We need to respect free speech! It is our number 1 freedom, No one should ever be silenced because of a difference of opinion. We still live in America!

Madelyn...Please set up your soup.mail? Thank you. It is great for short emails I use LARGE PRINT in it. Thanks. CNn, and the two-bit-twit, Jim Acosta there, are all untruthful. They hawk being the Ministry of Truth. Same as Satanic Google. Stop using it. they Want only their voices heard. So, yes on Day one of the Kremlin Inagural, the Resident destroyed so much good the Former POTUS had done. Free speech, the Constitution matters no longer.and troops occupy DC. Three cities under siege. Antifa burned a flag of The Resident and destroyed DnC HDQ in a Federal building. New regime supports violence against police, business owners, and... police. But Resident allows it. Free speech? Dead and gone. We live in America, but we are actually now living in Communist China. Americans simply do not get the murder of all our freedom. It will get worse. Resident wants to control what's taught in Church Schools....insane. You only think you live in America,no more. Thank you Panagiota

As the saying goes, honesty is the best policy, people are too quick to criticise when things dont go their way. People should be free to vote for who they like and not belittled because of it, well written tribute Pangie. Tom

Honesty no longer valued here. I explained about voting to you as it went. Didn't tell you boxes of Trump votes were discarded in lakes and rivers. I agree with all you said. America used to be as you say. Wear a Trump hat, you might be beaten. God sees all this.

Howdy, Ryan. Truth in everyone's face, to which, all run from. Indeed, I am no top Poet here, but count on me to lay it on the line. Unfortunately, unacceptable here. What are we, 12 year olds? For one being American is a sin here unless... Globalist, atheist, Communist. Politics is avoided here. I get it. Unfortunate, state of affairs. Live free, Pangie

Indeed, Bob. AND Plenty of evil starts tomorrow.But, we will not be silenced. No chance. 100 million Americans were stolen from. The party now is a mix of colors and economic levels. And was, before. Plenty of evil forces at work here. My bear is en route! Tomorrow, The Resident starts his disunity campaign. Live Free, Pangie
