Women's History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.”
God highlights that a kindhearted woman gains honor (Proverbs 11:16).
A woman was created because it was "not good" for man to be alone, making her a necessary and God-ordained partner rather than inferior.
Jesus recognized a woman’s faith and healed her from 12 years of bleeding, and she testified publicly (Luke 8:42-48).
Jesus welcomed the sinful woman into a room full of men as she anointed His feet with perfume (Luke 7:36-50).
Jesus entrusted the most important message in all of history to Mary Magdalene and told her to go and tell the disciples He had risen from the dead (John 20:11-18).
As the time of Easter is come up,
what woman of the month (of the years) is in your life?
Only you can answer that question.
Let leading of the Holy Spirit of God be your guide.
Four pages of parchment to write a constitution;
Relief bills numbering 5,593 is tyranny; not a solution.
It is high time the tyrants in Washington,
Sat down, shut up, and lay down their guns!
Please do not think this to be hyperbole.
For here it is, the very reality.
Not to blow governments cover;
But they’ve found more ways to tax us than to leave your lover.
Every day we live, we must pay governments bill.
Even after we die, they are taxing us still.
When I looked at it, I did discern,
Government will confiscate over half what I earn.
This is not freedom.
This is serfdom.
I believe this, a quite apt explanation.
We are all slaves on government’s plantation.
Now all across the U.S.A.
I envision a better way.
We shall end the imperial presidency,
Along with judicial tyranny.
We will give no more quarter,
To rule by executive order.
We will remove the repugnant stench,
Of judges who legislate from the bench.
Congress shall pass no law in the land;
Then exempt their own merry little band.
Enacting a form of balanced budget protection,
Any Congress that fails shall be banned from running for re-election.
Borders are defended in all situations.
Anything less is surrendering to invasion.
Citizen’s vote!
Aliens don’t!
We will all be just humans;
As we end the delusion;
That the color of one’s face;
Makes them from a separate race.
Military service and taxes are both voluntary.
We shall have liberty, in ways revolutionary.
The garbage man who hauls my trash away.
Can plan to own the company one day.
The auto worker constructing my ride,
Makes it right, because of their pride.
Chefs prepare meals like they were eating it.
Builders build homes like they were buying it.
Teachers teach, preachers preach, doctors heal, lawyers make deals;
The carousel of progress moves forward for real!

We the people, of the United States of America, choose to live in harmony.
As respectful citizens under the protection of our laws,
That we, the people, have established in this great Republic of these United States.
When any nation is overwhelmingly threatened,
By those who choose to break their protective laws,
And disrupt their harmonious way of life, in any way, shape or form,
Then we, the people, must enact jurisprudence to defend it similarly,
In any way, shape or form, and if such counter-measures,
Be the wall, then let it be done.
Any act that will not result in bloodshed,
That is, to cause injurious harm and or death of another's life,
Unless it is something that they themselves have created,
To which the end results in the effect,
Will be deemed as an act of caution on both sides of the wall.
Present and future expenditures of the existing conditions,
Outweighs the cost of the wall,
And members in Congress who are in opposition,
Has so far offered disputable counter proposals.
We The People
Of The United States
In Order To Form
A More Perfect Union
Establish Justice
Insure Domestic Tranquility
Provide For The Common Defense
Promote The General Welfare
And Secure The Blessings Of Liberty To Ourselves
And Our Posterity
We are proud of our
Past accomplishments
And humble of our
Past inabilities
At present, we are stacked,
Against formidable odds,
As a nation, indecisive in itself,
Instills indifference, both here and abroad,
As the American people faces their most fearless foe,
For a nation's future has yet to unfold.
They took away my Love, The day before our Marriage
Shot in the head, stacked with the dead ; in a wooden carriage
Carted off to a dank and forlorn misty, dark Graveyard
Where a flock of “Unkindness’ , stands Forever on Guard
I come to this graveyard, with a loaded gun in my hand
My Love , Forever and Always, beside You, I will stand
As Juliet Loved Romeo; that’s how much I LOVE YOU
To Die for You, my lost Love; to be living Forever with YOU
I know how much you Loved me, for Everything I Am
“ Ka-blam “
As her soul sinks into the murky darkness, of the Graveyard mist
To rise again as the Congress of Unkindness fly from a hollow abyss

Author’s Note : this is not a “ Contest Entrée ”
She left the “unkindness”, descended upon a mossy knoll
Over looking the darkness of the moonless, misty graveyard
The ebony clouds shielding the glistening tears of the Raven
Tears of LOVE for those that, waiting : Sing at the gates of Heaven
Tears of Sorrow for those, unbelievers, who will spend Eternity in Hell
Do not show me the face of despair, the tears of forever unknown :
Her tears roll down the contours of her cheeks falling to the Ground
Creating the Zenith of an Everlasting ROSE never to be seen
As Roses grow where Her tears splashed upon the wanting Earth
She spreads her wings and returns to the “Congress” from wince She came
Darker and Lighter than the rest of the “death flock” soaring ABOVE

5th Place
It’s a comedy of errors…
the clowns and actors inside
When for two millennia,
they served to amuse and abide
The patriots and righteous
once made all the laws
But now the Halls of Congress
by their presence are flawed
Through political correctness,
the blind pretend that they see
With our future in peril,
they laugh at our pleas
A carnival sideshow
they make of the truth
As the press and the movies
back up what’s uncouth
They lie in our face
with the darkest of plans
Their excuses in concert
now leading the band
Like the rats in the cellar
and the bats in the barn
To the hills we must drive them
where they can do no more harm
And the power repositioned
among the brave and the wise
Who care first for their country
—keeping freedom alive
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
The squirrel council gathered
beneath the old oak tree,
debating this year’s acorn tax
with wild indignity.
Red Tail argued loudly
for equal stash for all,
while Gray Tail filibustered
by climbing up the trunk and stalling.
Chiptooth formed a committee
to count the winter stores,
but half the nuts went missing
before they reached the floor.
White Tail, the Treasurer (a clever one)
insisted on a vote~
but bribery with hazelnuts
kept everyone barking a troat.
Yet somehow, through the chaos,
a compromise was made:
each squirrel keeps their acorns
but must share one… someday.
And so the forest functions,
in its nut-based parliament~
a jittery, tail-flicking congress
forever in dissent.
"Turkey Fowl"
1776: The Eagle, The Dove, or the Turkey?
Great Seal of the United States
What should we choose for a symbol of our new life?
American birth of a nation
Declaration Committee chosen
Midwife of an egg Eagle, Dove, or Turkey
Dr. Benjamin Franklin
Plea a turkey
Truly a noble bird that’s free
Native American sees
A source of sustenance
Incredibly brave fellow
Single-handedly
Who wouldn't flinch in an attacking regiment of Englishmen
Foraging in clearings, field, forest, with nut bearing trees
Listen to the exuberant gobbling males carry
On the ground,
But at the night flying high
Roosting on treetops at the end of the day
Therefore, the national bird of America should be the Turkey

1776: The Eagle, The Dove, or the Turkey?Choosing between the eagle, the dove, or the turkey for America's national bird. This is one of the final scenes in the musical 1776. Thomas Jefferson (dove), Ben Franklin (turkey) and John Adams (eagle) are waiting for Congress to ratify the Declaration of Independence. They start to discuss which bird would be the best national bird. Now I want to hear YOUR two cents. Which of the three would you choose and why? I'm leaving this wide open---be funny, be serious, be of two minds---whatever occurs to you, it just has to be one of those three.............
Presidents Washington and Lincoln met often in that Land of Eternal Bliss,
To commiserate, communicate and about the misty past to reminisce.
"What in hell (er, excuse me, Lord!) is happening, Abe, to our beloved nation?"
"Well, George, I see both good and bad but I see little cause for celebration!"
George: "I see they named the national capitol on the Potomac after me,
But they've desecrated it with greed and graft that I could not foresee.
Each President after us promised the people there'd be hopeful change,
But I fear the lack of leadership, that has left citizens in some estrange!"
Abe: "I see that Arlington Cemetery is filled with patriots who died for liberty.
I strived to restore brotherhood to a broken nation but little of that I see.
I grieve at the lack of patriotism. Even Old Glory by some has been defaced.
It seems that the God we looked to for guidance has also been displaced!"
George: "I see the work ethic waning and everyone wants to be on the dole.
Congress is casting money at useless schemes putting all in a deeper hole!"
Abe: "Yes, and those once pristine lakes and streams are polluted with disease,
And something called smog smothers cities and forests are stripped of trees!"
George: "When I see how future generations are raised I want to shudder!"
Abe: "Alas, all of this reminds me of a ship adrift without a steering rudder!"
George: "Well, I don't suppose it does any good for us to sit around and whine."
Abe: "I agree! Let's amble over to happy hour for some great communion wine!"

The 4th of July celebrates the passage of Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
Have the congress and the USA forgotten about that? Have individuals forgotten about that? Well, I personally feel that we should all go back and review it again and again.
We MUST remember that Freedom comes from God, because wherever the Spirit of God is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17), and whoever the Son (Jesus) sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). But freedom is won with sacrifice. Sacrifice is a God-given value, and God's Word brings meaning and honor to the sacrifices of both His Son and our soldiers.
All of us have someone in the past doing wars has made sacrifices for our freedom today.
All parties in the USA MUST remember that we would not have freedom today if sacrifices has not been done yesterday for today which is 'The FutureNow'. What we do NOW will determine WHO and WHAT we will be TOMORROW, because 'The Future is Now'. That is the way I see it. Does this make sense to you?
