GOD is Cosmo's psyche,
The Universe's Will to be,
The steering Mind of becoming in the World.
He adds Nothing,
He subtracts Nothing,
He only rearranges the existing energy into concrete forms,
Without ever disturbing the total energy balance. He is doing it
By
Infusing in each one of the forms a purpose,
A purpose that enables every single existence to be, to coexist, and to collaborate
With the rest of the forms in such a way that the outcome mirrors
God's divine plan of a harmonious, conscious, and law-abiding Creation!
Therefore,
God observes everything,
Guides everything, and
Supervises everything, no matter how big or small something is,
Since
Nothing is more or less important to God for the maintenance of Cosmic Order.

Fighting falsehood with mere truth is
a losing proposition
The public clamors for the popular position
The underdog has it all his way today
yelling that America is evil paves the way
no matter that it’s pure, unadulterated fiction
Soon all law-abiding folks will be imprisoned
as anarchy realizes its wildest ambitions
At the monument to the Roman Emperor Hadrian near the Tower
There is no place to put flowers
But if they made a pedestal there
And wrote Put your flowers here
I’ve no doubt that
People would bring their flowers to the foot of the statue
Out of respect for law and order
What a good move that would be
And politically useful
Some rebel won't even notice
How he turns into one of the law-abiding citizens
He once laughed at
And now his rebellion is all about
Draining bottles and dancing to familiar music
When he is alone and feels free
Waving his hands in the air and pulling out a scary face.
Undeniably these are weird times for US all
Maybe they have been for a very long time
Where the hard working and law abiding
Are used and abused, ridiculed and punished
But now it’s beyond weird
Where those who come illegally
Are given a red carpet
Flown around, deposited at five star hotels
Given thousands a month in handouts
And slaps on the wrist
When they steal and assault anyway
In thanks for our kindness.
And when we, bearing the costs, complain
Then we are the bigots, the racists
Fascists, and, well frankly, garbage.
While those who come seeking refuge
Are recognized as the princes and princesses
They really are
In this fairy tale fantasy of El Norte.
Viva la revolucion for it is here and now
Forget your protests
Dance and celebrate while you can
For in the morning there will be work to do
And streets to clean, of all these rats
And their rotting pumpkin carriage.

~Pennsylvania Panic~
He was shot, and could have been dead.
I saw the red blood running down his head.
I only could think of his tall and handsome son of eighteen.
Whose emotions were anything but joyous nor mystically serene.
I was alive when both Kennedys were kiiled.
I saw the floor upon which RFK’s crimson
blood had spilled.
Yes and I thought of the late Martin Luther
King, was killed but his dream, a American star that thrilled!
This is a great country and we refuse to be undone.
True Americans know it is so and was not formed for a short run.
This Judaeo- Christian Republic’s dome shines high in DC on a hill!
To forever serve…America’s law-abiding ones!
7/25/2024 poem 3
With the Academy Awards now over the world must focus on the bad actors
With so many hot spots around the world, and so many threats out there we have to factor
We can no longer keep up with all the people who want to bring us harm
Our very way of life is in jeopardy, time to sound the alarm
Anger with us from so many fractions, what can we do to change this theme
We need to make this nightmare into a pleasant dream
To conquer evil all the law-abiding nations must band together
We must end these countries' pursuit of terror
Fighting back with all our power and strength must be understood
They only want one thing and that is to eliminate us for good
If this sounds familiar you need to look no further than the world wars
Let's all stand up to all the bad actors worldwide
Peace and freedom throughout our nations, we must do all we can to keep it alive
Beneath the sky, a mirror serene, the lake,
Rippling reflections, a dance for beauty's sake.
In dawn's embrace, the lake awakes,
A masterpiece, where serenity takes.
Sunset hues in a palette ablaze,
Painting the waters in a fiery phase.
Moonlight shimmers on the liquid glass,
A celestial dance, moments amass.
Who observes the lake, untouched, unfazed,
not pained by loss, not by gain dazed?
Who notes its wisdom, law-abiding,
amidst the fish, birds, silently gliding?
Who names its generosity, wide and free,
among creatures that share its boundary?
Who knows if the leaning tree, with grace,
sees its own reflection in the water's embrace?
Who notices its love, deep and serene,
bonding with earth, a tranquil scene?
It flows when needed, a love so true,
as the lake does, in shades of blue.
Who asks where the lake came to be,
wondering at its ageless mystery?
Who ponders if the lake knows its form,
or if water, as lake, takes a norm?
Who doesn't seek it for stillness and peace,
for its silence that brings heart's release?
Like the lake, understanding needs profound,
mind's tranquility, heart's nourishment found.
WE THE PEOPLE of the United States are the American Militia
We are the ultimate first responders
We confront the criminal, the weather event, the catastrophe
We as law abiding citizens own the Arms to save lives
While waiting for needed, professional first responders
We as American Militia may assist our professional
Law Enforcement Officers who confront
The challenges to life
With their lives
For our lives
We are eternally grateful and indebted to them:
OUR HEROS
A law-abiding citizen is
One who keeps the law.
There are many of them,
Of this, I am sure.
Sadly there are others,
Who live a life of crime,
Conning and conniving,
And never serving time.
Why does this happen?
How does this come about?
Law-abiding people,
Find it hard to work out.
People in high places,
Often get off scot-free,
Why are there no rules for them,
But strict rules for you and me.
Lawyers have a responsibility,
To follow the letter of the law,
Not looking for gratuities,
As the offender walks out of the door,
Footloose and fancy-free,
Confident in his next court case,
He will win as easily.
What sort of world do we live in
When we cannot trust the law,
Filled with war crimes and sin.
What do we employ Lawyers for
In this day and age,
People cannot stand much more,
It's time to turn the page,
It's time that crooked lawyers
Become a thing of the past.
The Second Amendment guarantees
A basic right of Liberty
For good men and women to remain free
The right to bear arms
Law abiding citizens who do nothing wrong
The blame of mass murder on them does not belong
Why disarm them so they are doomed
Defenseless against the criminal goons
We have the right to our liberty
To protect our families and property
If we lose our guns we are no longer free
We will be subjected to pure evil tyranny
Arm citizenry is the best homeland defense
Keeps the enemies on the fence
To afraid to try to invade
American armed patriots will make you pay
So stop cashing in on tragedy
Develop a common sense strategy
No more proclaiming Gun Free Zones
A trained arm faculty will change that tone
Brandon don't take my guns away
Dangerous politics the dumb love to play
You spend trillions but not a penny to give
For our children to stay safe and live
The F-Bomb has all but been replaced
As the naughtiest word in the english language
By this new extremely naughty four letter word
Yup! You guessed it... SNOW!!!
The notorious S-Bomb!
Parents shudder when their wee one utters it in public
Oh the shame of it all
The parents try so hard to bring their kids up
As upstanding, polite, law abiding little fellows
And then this... they feel like total failures
“I think it's going to S-Bomb!”
A little guy shouts out at the mall
The parents cringed with terror
I am praying for the day,
When all walls will fall away,
And we as sons and daughters,
Will all truly obey.
The commandment to love one another,
Is the great and first commission.
To love God with all our hearts,
Might, mind and strength, our mission.
This is the celestial law abiding,
With no lies or self-deceit in the way.
There must be no inner hiding,
And for all this we must pray.
We all require our one true King.
Only He can sustain and set free,
But to be in his kingdom,
Each one must be at peace.
In this we must have no borders,
No place we cannot go,
For a King to reign in heaven,
There must be every room to grow.
There will be no manner of -ites,
No one will be excluded from their rights.
Each one loved as all are one,
Every moment blessed with pure divine.
Here in these last days, this is our destination,
For as Christ is to come, we are to receive Him.
No one will abide the day, unless we are all together,
In one body, one faith, under one head, forever.
A law abiding man
Jumps out of logics
Bluffing in public
A handful of simple tricks
An abundance of laughters
But no request
For real rolling coins
Even for himself
Who works wonders
Foremost man from my first breath
Alpha male whose blood runs through my veins
Teaching me to take my first step
Harnessing my boisterous energy to groom
Ensuring that I grew up to be an upright citizen,
Raising decent and law-abiding kids of my own
Secured and content in my old age.
Demanding though was my dad, yet was lenient
Admonishing at every wrong step, yet supportive,
Yeoman’s work he did bringing me up right. Thank You.
