Britain
Why did they fight for our freedom of speech?
when we as a nation are afraid to speak
Led by a government that’s corrupt and weak
the future for our children looks dark and bleak.
What’s happened to this great nation of ours?
Once so powerful,
now it’s us who carry the scars
more concerned with our image and fancy cars
Then protecting young defenceless children from the countless grooming gangs and peadophiles,
The police and MPS are to scared to charge.
Young British men fighting for twisted Islamic authors,
sharpening their knives to behead innocent news reporters,
it’s time for the government to stand up and end these slaughters,
before more men don’t return home, to their sons wives or daughters,
murderers and rapists infiltrating our borders, hiding behind a smile with no care for our orders.
We're no longer a nation that prides itself on earning,
cashing in our next giro cheque seems more concerning
when’s the system going to stop giving, and start learning or
will it take another Philpott to leave his kids burning?
A nation of scroungers has become the impression,
with a work shy attitude and a Jeremy Kyle obsession,
happy for you to work to pay for their homes and possessions,
while there’s soldiers left homeless in a state of depression.
When will there be justice for the victims of all these terror attacks?
we shouldn’t have to walk the streets looking over our backs,
The victims of Grenfell deserve more respect,
but with the government holding their own enquires what do you expect ?
It’s time for us to unite and end this frustration,
because after all they fought to keep this a great British nation,
it’s not about race, sexuality or religion
we’re all one people a part of one creation,
M-ake it well and good,
I-n spite of a bad day;
C-reate a nice situation,
H-aving a pleasant way.
E-xecute well and good,
L-earning a lesson from fault;
L-eave the wrong behind,
E-rrors in life you must halt.
A-ct well and good,
R-ise above the crowd;
A-lthough you may fall,
G-et up soon to be proud.
O-n July tenth early morn, weather's well and so fine;
N-o storm is brewing, letting the sun come and shine.
H-ear it well and good,
I-t's a beautiful sound;
C-hirping birds that fly
A-re gliding up and down.
R-ecite the written rhyme in your heart's merry mood;
O-pen your mind to its content, make it well and good.
Delighting in the Lord God Who illumines by His truth daily
Assured heart of mine indeed thanks His gracious approval
Yearning for His sweet presence while to the Holy Spirit yielding
Seeking His favorable approval as He wisely directs my steps
Triumphantly toward His victorious purpose, always trustworthy
Affirming His forgiveness that sanctifies against vain arrogance
Reviving me, since He's the day star*, light bringer of my redemption.
*2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

Depriving yourself of sleep,
ever busy no friends you keep.
running about, always in hurry,
life of stress, life of worry.
You spend your life earning money,
that too without enjoying, it's funny.
Insatiable mind always wants more,
it never does have an end score.
Ego says prove you are great,
and your life you devastate.
One day you become old,
where excess money no value does hold.
When you become fragile,
Your money will be squandered by agile.
You can then merely sit and ponder,
why I didn't enjoy you will surely wonder.
To survive you must verily earn,
you hoard money you merely earn.
Remember there is life beyond money,
for happiness is what we live for honey.

Radical planet friendly measures
equals earning kudos as unsung hero
(think environmental/carbon footprint)
nearly absolute zero
while global population quarantine
suspension of civil rights
would never fly with trumpeting pharaoh.
Since United States economically crippled
(as well rest of world wide web)
courtesy coronavirus fallout rippled
analogous, whereby Mother Earth
(Gaia's) motley crew psyches stippled.
Golden nugget opportunity whence
twenty first century man/womankind
can make figurative about face
humanity undergoes tense
fossil fuel powered civilization
intricate tapestry doth unwind
(COVID-19) wreaking havoc
among flu fighting village people
constituting human race
shifting radical paradigm
toward renewable resources
alas me dogmatic karma credit
thinks green new deal
(Paine fully) common sense
to any doubting Thomas
since global governments
currently flattened, gutted,
hobbled, immobilized, jackknifed
martial law restricts
impugns verity capitalistic
(re: cannibalistic planetary exploitation)
acquiescing higglety pigglety
free for all
(Alfred E. Neuman wannabes) madcap
(spy versus spy chase
explicit green lighting
global (fiery red) desecration rents
linkedin multitude innocent
flora and fauna violently asunder
ethos predicated upon
vandalistic, monopolistic, capitalistic...
manifest destiny codas enshrined
no matter indigenous tribes genocide
horrifically did erase
place names benign injustice
underestimates true value
native peoples legacy
impossible mission feebly
conjuring bloody events
sacred treaties scotched, revoked, quashed...
accentuating death sentence signed
obliterating rightful heirs amazing grace
storied proud nations traduced
as agents provocateur
cruelly prodded to adopt
offense and/or defense
inevitably pushed off their sacred lands
today their abysmal existential nihilistic crisis
crushing, damning, punishing... poverty
testament how third eye blind
turned away s as to avoid witnessing
tears for fears etching staind face.
Bloated belly, swollen cheeks,
and a sunken stiff neck on robust torso.
Yet well fitted in flowing apparels;
falling and being raised frequently
from side to side.
Obscene opulence is your delight,
your prestige and your pride;
amassed unlawfully by the pen,
ever wet for your deception
and thievery.
The flight of your spoils of office
enlarge the shopping Malls and treasure houses
of the Occident,
leaving your covetous people
deprived of earning power.
To arms they take at boredom's peak,
whilst your virgins and maidens go a-whoring.
Still, you in your sinister acts of re-election,
widen their capacity for Evil, just to have
your sit-tight bid guaranteed you.
A mountain madness, Colorado Springs'
Pike's Peak, some twenty miles to the top,
with roads like winding snakes that coil like rings,
where at the open edge are cliffs of rock.
This mountain madness soon directs and reigns
along its highway, somewhat heaven-bound;
a narrow road with two-way traffic lanes
and many curves that zigzag and astound.
We held our breaths while driving, quite unnerved;
an hour or more to reach the mountain peak.
Just one wrong turn along a sharp, tight curve,
right off the cliff, we'd fly into a heap.
And, yes, this has occurred- a hazardous,
slow, rugged ride that leads to a steep rise.
With mountain madness, you must pay with trust
and take your chances earning nature's prize.
And one more mountain madness to unfold,
our ride began in warm eighty degrees.
But when we reached the top, it was so cold,
the snow was whirling with a blizzard 'breeze'.
Yes, mountain madness, Colorado Springs'
Pike's Peak, its top at fourteen thousand feet!
America's most famous mountain brings
adventures to explore and goals to meet.
Governments can't run companies
That statement still rings in my ears
Governments can't run companies
If that was your board of directors
If that was the man you paid
to represent your company
if the CEO for your board of directors
came out and said we can't run company's
Then you'd give him the sack
you'd vote for another man
that could run the company
creating profitable investments
Governments can't run companies
because they are to quick to sell them
and use the money to make themselves look good
Governments should be investing your money
Every day they use your money
to pay for training organisations
Money that gets spent producing no profit
Money that could be used to make company's
The Teachers could become Managers
The Students could become Employees
The country's could be earning money
Instead of just spending money
Creating products to sell overseas
creates profit for your country
creating employment reduces
spending for the country
Every week you pay tax
as investors we should be asking
how are you investing our money
to make this country better
I'll show you where hell is Just follow me Its down this path called "The Right Road" In this wrong world, there's one in every city Tho a dangerous place to be alone, you wont find any pity Just trust in me now and we're half-way there So we need to lock our doors, to safely shut out all faith, allowing only those facts well proven We'll coast downhill forever now, confirming just these truths What could be is not ours to ponder, while what has been bears plenty of proof and we have no need to wonder All the way down into the forsaken, for the soul who's badly shaken, it becomes easier to fathom that rules were meant to be broken The why, the how, becomes evident now Our spirit is free and we're able to see so with trust we'll find our path not yet taken You'll be earning your way since you let go, and your willingness tho, you'll arrive there alone, yet creating a path that's followed.
Poetry Soup One can learn how to write better in a group
Emotions about words will jump through a hoop
Traveling through my finger tips doing a loop to loop
Reading and writing is what I do to recoup
Yearning to be better each day will make me regroup.
Special friendships are made Over time I prayed
Under your time and aid
Poems come from many words we played.
