With my years stretched out behind me
Some mud puddles still remain
There are bridges still standing proudly
Though a few have large rust stains
The quicksand of time has swallowed
Good times and bad times alike
But the road that I have followed
Is lit well by the seeds of life
I didn't always make the right choices
My life's been a con man's shell game
There were always dissenting voices
Not once did my head hang in shame
Occasionally I tripped on my heart
As you all are aware love is blind
But I got up and made a new start
Moving forward not looking behind
Taught values have guided me this far
I've bent double but never been broken
My wounds have all healed and scarred
Each one is a treasured token
There is still room left in the chest
For a few more treasured memories
I have vowed to myself, make the best
Of the journey stretched out before me
an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
Within the fragile frame of my fervent heart,
tinged with the tinsels of the amorous night,
my love gleamed with an enticing shimmer,
reflected by the sequins of your subtle grace.
In my enthralled psyche I felt the tempting touch
of your intangible mesmeric charisma,
but you sauntered away from my entranced sight,
like the autumn cloud across my dream sky.
From the ebony edge of the night of despair
storm clouds surged with thunder of tearing strife,
splintered my dreams, dispersed them in debris,
as you turned into a devastating whirlwind.
The miasma of pervasive melancholy enveloped
the shattered landscape of my languished longing.
The solemn sigh of its drifting sense of desolation
trailed the dissenting resonance of painful severance.
Your flouting footsteps trampled uncaring
my emotive flower as you departed unconcerned.
Its crumbled petals in anguish made a bouquet
for the wreckage pile of my broken heart.
In the cauldron of hope I distilled pain for nepenthe,
drank the elixir, entered the domain of forgetfulness.
Before my collapsing conscience weathered the soul,
I arose sane from the dust, saw the beauty life was.
"We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or make it the last."- John F. Kennedy
~
In three shots an assassin snuffed his life's worth
Noble a man's purpose with breakthroughs achieved...
Such vile demise made a country roar, 'Unearth
Truths about our leader's fall. We were decieved!'
And beneath red Texan sky... the whole world grieved.
One thousand days of service were not enough
For beloved JFK to instill reforms--
His vision of liberty decent yet tough
Igniting nations to advance honored norms...
Only to be riddled by dissenting storms.

The presidency of John F. Kennedy was shortened after his
assassination on November 22, 1963 at 12:30 p.m.
while riding in a motorcade in Dallas during a campaign visit.
Despite the official finding, many conspiracy theories arose--
from organized crime to the CIA to Cuban exiles.
Some 30,000 never-before-seen documents were released
to the public by the National Archives in 2017 and 2018,
with another release set for October, 2021.
John F. Kennedy was seeking a second term in the White House.

I begin each day,
watching the morning news.
I watch two channels,
and get dissenting views.
I ponder the question,
why aren’t both the same?
They each have a slant,
is it a political game?
Each stretches the truth,
to fit their party’s need.
Some journalist outright lie,
thus destroying truth’s seed.
There’s seldom worthy stories,
that get addressing.
And that’s why most days,
are becoming distressing.
But spewing some falsehood,
seems to be an obsession.
That’s why news junkies like myself,
often deal with depression.
Scattered around is destruction and debris blast-
Things rendered shapeless and futile ,but to ooze
Disgust and infinitely depressing misery profuse;
What was a pleasure and intact heaven, is lost !
Paralysed life and sickly breath is just a doom;
What came up in the spirit and sprouts of affinity,
And the blooming faith finds its end to infinity;
Intense fire has left behind the engirdling gloom
Weird ambition and endless greed do always swell :
All pursuits and desires fulfilled,man doth chase
The vain, 'undo' prompts of the hidden mind base
That blind the vision of the ensuant horror sequel
From the lithic to the vicious latent missile,
Devouring pathos,Rage has stretched its arm;
The charm of living is lost in death and sick harm
The extant essence of survival is lost in a while
Gone are twitters,chirps and the fresh pearly dew
The blessing sunrise and the sweet cool breeze;
Dissenting waves are churning the settled seas
Old order merges with the ruined past for the new!
Poem coming soon/In the planning stage...
It's easy for me to find fault in them
Why they are so different from us all
Very hard to love, it is somewhat grim
Just listen and hear their dissenting brawl
The the Holy Spirit spoke from within
Love others deeply; love covers their sins
Red covered my face showing my chagrin
Help me Holy Spirit to let love win
1 Peter 4:8
New International Version
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
New Living Translation
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
English Standard Version
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Berean Study Bible
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
I've tried so hard to live my life
As a caring human being
Don't understand all the conflicts
Solutions are so easily seen
Just do away with all the hate
It doesn't seem too complicated
What a triumph it surely would be
If everyone was dedicated
There I go, I'm dreaming again
People must think I'm naive
Don't know why I'm such an optimist
Guess it's just what I believe
Faith that people are basically good
When offered simple choices
They'll usually choose the right path to take
Be damned, those dissenting voices
Call me what you will, my faith is strong
I feel much better this way
To me it isn't a great mystery, my friends
Let's all feast on a happiness buffet!
The Remaking Of America
Written: by Miracle Man
6/21/2024
Each sunrise brings with it more horrid tidings,
America is now experiencing grievous change.
Seems no day passes without some rape or killing,
like livestock, illegals rush in to graze free range.
Many bring dissenting views and stated demands,
they wave their flags holding fast to former ways.
Some elected officials promote this way of thinking,
some stand around disoriented, frozen in a daze.
Many think it’s all a part of some grand scheme,
and time may come when only Government has a say.
We’re seeing the land we love destroyed from within,
the only hope we have is for Christians to pray.
One change that I notice most every day,
my freedoms are slowly being taken away.
But though they take all I have to give,
it’s the very best place on earth to live.

How Thick Is Your Skin?
Written: by Tom Wright
3/31/2018
In today’s society it appears to be about skin,
Many whine when things don’t go their way.
Laying at fault, is that our skin is too thin,
We’re easily offended by what others do and say.
Whiners leap to the podium with much to say,
Spewing words which aren’t from their own;
Saying clueless things swaying others their way,
Too young to realize you reap what you’ve sown.
Taking everything personal young tempers boil,
They seek to destroy any with dissenting view.
The old adage “to the victors belong the spoil”,
Seems to aptly apply to a “disadvantaged” few;
They seldom view things as just another’s opinion,
And are quick to strike back thus creating a flap;
Over verbiage alone each is granted dominion,
We need to give thought before opening our trap.
I've tried so hard to live my life
As a caring human being
Don't understand all the conflicts
Solutions are so easily seen
Just do away with all the hate
It doesn't seem too complicated
What a triumph it surely would be
If everyone was dedicated
There I go, I'm dreaming again
People must think I'm naive
Don't know why I'm such an optimist
Guess it's just what I believe
Faith that people are basically good
When offered simple choices
They'll usually choose the right path to take
Be damned, those dissenting voices
Call me what you will, my faith is strong
I feel much better this way
To me, it isn't a great mystery, my friends
Let's all feast on a happiness buffet!
Dedicated to my dear Mo! :)
