for the who strands,
the ones who built this land.

They teach us to stand
and pledge with our hearts.
Pledge to the nation
whose heart is for all.
They say one nation,
does that include me?
The little black girl
living on the sketchy street?
Year after year,
thousands still hope
the nation they root for
will offer some hope.
Land of the free,
does that include me?
The people of color you see on tv?
I’m not going to stand
for the nation who strands,
their people,
their workers,
or the ones who built this land.

You do that,
to make some things right.
To have some normal talk.
Maybe funny ones or amusing or yet serious, ,,it's fine".
You have a lovely mum right?
How don't you know, which words to decide?
Which ones to use.
I looked back at you,
my tips of the ears turning red,
suddenly eyelashes fill my eyes,
my eyebrows poke me badly inside.
With a disgust look,
I try to decide to look or not?
Since I thought it was you,
There was nothing to fought.
Sorry but my hand is lame,
the door closed by itself.

To the women of this Earth
I write this with true mirth
Because you give permission
Souls enjoy here admission
Life is through you created
So my thanks are now stated
To co-operate if you refuse
How can issues all produce?
In case you stay fully aloof
No job for God in sky-roof
When there is no family
No question of anomaly
You possess great divine power
As you become a holy mother
Happiness is by your fixed
You make one joyful or vexed
Your prowess I ever realize
You can stop or start cries
O- Women of this holy Universe
You can curse or kindly nurse.

Dear neighbor Snark, can we please build an ark?
We could use little McCark’s elm tree bark.
I don’t know Marc, is this a trick or a lark?
Not if we include my cousin Clark.
The one Des Moines police use as a nark?
Yeah. Meet us behind blue skateboard park.
And be sure to include Shark and McQuark.

Include me out, please do:
From any thought of baby killing.
That iceberg method leaves me chilling.
Because to any age, death can be extended.
This means, you, me or our family.
Death is not an act to be cherished or elevated.

Do Include In Your Dare
Be sure that included in your dare,
Is proof always exists you will care;
Give God praise
In many ways,
Also for others with much to spare.

Interlude That Did Include To Collude
This is all we hear about on MSNBC.
While we were in middle of an interlude,
Things apparently are properly viewed,
What he did,
God forbids;
Trump can have the ability to collude.
Jim Horn
To either conclude or not to
conclude that Trump did collude
Before starting a family feud,
Which we know coud be skewed.

Permission To Include Incision
We wanted to mention a provision,
Allowing and giving us permission,
To try and do;
Help me and you,
By Congress including an incision.
Jim Horn
Hope it was done objectively, selectively
and totally unbiased as well which would
be so swell.

There are two things that are more difficult
than making an after-dinner speech:
climbing a wall which is leaning toward you
and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
- Winston Churchill
Has Trump been told this yet?

Do we do things for us or for a higher purpose?
Do we glorify God with our actions or only ours?
Do we think of the One who gives us everything?
Do we even care?
God wants us to live and have it abundantly
But in the knowledge that we have what we have
Is because of Him
He puts them there for our enjoyment
For our satisfaction
For our love for life
But we should never forget to give thanks
To the One who provides them all
He first you second
That’s the way it should be
We have because He gives
We live because He wants it so
We are able because we are allowed
Not because you make it so
So don’t forget
Have Him in your foremost thoughts
As you go about your daily life
He wants to be in your life
So include Him
Don’t wait until Sunday
To glorify Him
And tell Him
How appreciate you are
For all His hand has touched your life
Don’t

Velvet fell from the SKY ON a Boston day by the bay
Cotton caressed thy lips gentility so that you might sigh
While you tried to convince me you and I could beg to fly
Suddenly uncertainty and fearfulness drew night but I never knew why
Other people opined they were warm yet I was cold
I longed to see my arms open wide for you to thusly hold
The woman who tutored ancient men how to produce gold
No statue crafted of such solemnity to behold
Two heartbeats beat as one neither ever to cry
Hand in hand that old man called us lovebirds flying high
And you with gold shimmering in the wind with which you vie
When the moon that night told you to tell me goodbye
The darkened sky stared right at me
And whatever it asked I would cauIdally comply
They ordered me a way, take to the run and flee
And never even knew fu****g why
