Premium Member Story For Truth

                          Normal is normal - it is not abnormal
                          Right is not wrong - or logic is terminal

                          Subverting a culture of tolerances and reason,
                          All tyrannies threaten peace and stability.
                          Unreasonable tyrants from belligerent minorities 
                          Menace tranquility with total hostility.

                          Up is not down - orange is not black
                          Air is not water - opinion is not fact

                          Using lies to spread a dangerous delusion,
                          With fascist hate speech - bully invective,
                          Political spin spreads fear and confusion;
                          Objective reporting is not politician subjective.

                          Telling a story is not - telling The Story

Premium Member War, Man, Peace

We live through the hard times, 
We relish peace and the good.
Remember, we can survive all things!
Hardly, are we made of wood.

Friends may suddenly leave us?
We weather those storms.
Our strength stands, we do not fuss.
As our God keeps us, safe and warm.

Since time began, there have been wars.
Be steady, have faith in times of dissension.
Man is selfish and always wants more.
Your God watches over you from another dimension.

Do good each day, that is most effective.
You may make errors, that does not create you as evil!
Words simply are a way of expressing invective.
No one superior to you, they are just people!

Choose peace, not stir the winds ofwar!
Remember to pray, thus comes inner peace.
Speak your truth, though not as the only one, on a throne from afar.
Learn well, to trust God as your final surcease!

I Hate Robocalls

I turn off damn ringer,
nonetheless...
telephone still buzzes
twenty four seven
eight days a week
automated telephone calls

digitally recorded message
perfectly spoken English
differentiation to distinguish
"FAKE" simulation
all bot impossible
totally immune to escape

gagging hospitable invective
electronic jawboning immunized
against antipathy, cruelty, enemy,
hostility, insecurity, pleasantry
Yukon run to tallest mountain
dive into Mariana Trench
get catapulted into

outer limits of twilight zone,
yet NEVER be free and clear
getting wirelessly zapped
with visual ad audiological
offal dregs and spam
oh... , yes even after life,

while weightlessly 
pinwheeling in limbo,
particularly during eternal sleep,
when dead souls repose
six feet deep
or corpse undergoes cremation...

yepper, infiltration into atomic core
blithely battered, jimmied,
cherry lee pitted, tweaked,
worse fate than return of Zombies
electrical essential existential
incorporeal surreal auditory ordeal

spurs indiscriminate human
to relish golden silence
spawning best selling novel
to flesh out fiction
Utopian treasured island story
winning unknown author

instant acclaim and glory
describing village people
livingsocial, free and clear
without annoyingly, 
egregiously, infuriatingly,
maddeningly, quaveringly

vexing, nauseating, disrupting
blitzkrieg courtesy aggravating
trumpeting autonomous programs
hijacking brainstorming concentration
thwarting aim tug get back on target
(even when carrying on camping)

sundering coalescence 
regarding colonizing black screen
aborted doomed genesis
of brilliant fleeting idea,

thus one smart
generic garden variety
longfellow forced to
grovel along boulevard
of broken dreams.

Any resemblance between above
hyperbole and living persons
purely coincidental!

Premium Member The Time Has Come

The time has come to damp down gridlock and polarization
  For the country's citizenry to treat each other with basic decency
    To stop resorting, at the slightest offence, to righteous indignation
The time has come...

The time has come to stop shouting and screaming, to restore civility
  To stop finger-pointing accusations and character assassination
    To stop the invective, the slander, the libel, and to act with dignity
The time has come...

For leaders to get off their soapboxes, to cease the endless bloviation
  Not to promise 'free everything,' to promote fiscal prudence, feasibility
    To acknowledge the populace's apathy, to lift the veil of total frustration                                                                     
The time has come...

Awaiting A Savior

Fate Conjoined

A vine can grow
on any tree
Be it strong or weak
of root

To climb until
the trunk is starved
ascending
foot by foot

Caring not a whit
the tree imperiled
it wraps its way
around

To kill the thing
its fate conjoins
and die
— ripped from the ground

*********

To Ian

A light goes out
just South of Calgary
His voice recaptured
in the wind
What’s been said
by saddle bred
As memory sings
— a cowboy hymn

*********

Borders In Place

Giving form
to illusion
the image
contours

Its mask when
pulled tightly
obstructs
and obscures

Dimension
is tactile
with borders
in place

Where false
it is proven
deception
— refaced 

************

Our Pathway

Freedom begins
with decision
Choice catalytic
when firm

Our pathway once cleared
by cognition
The fire
— of liberty burns

********

The Words Secure

Neither
the rapier
of sarcasm
Nor
the bludgeon
of invective
Can injure
my letters
— or damage my pen

**********

The Illusion Stopped

Time doesn’t run
— it only deceives

********

Awaiting A Savior

Why should I labor
trapped in these mines
Breathing this death
perdition refined

Why should I trust
that this is the way
Darkness before me
each step on the quay

Though I keep picking
through darkest of rock
The future escapes me
its door remains locked

Awaiting a savior
I struggle each day
Alone in this suffering
— my faith to betray

Premium Member Mine Is the Duty To Scream

Mine is the duty to scream
   Mine is the duty to shout

My country is bitterly divided
   Its Congress can't figure things out

The rich get richer; the poor get poorer
   That in itself's nothing new, but

Instead of seeking to forge solutions 
   Leaders, hateful invective spew 
 
Mine is the duty to scream
   Mine is the duty to shout
  
American's immigration system, broken in every way
   Lurches ahead blindly, ignoring those who say 
 
That vice-ridden schools yield test scores so pathetic  
   Even the heardest of hearts should be sympathetic  

To calls for more charters and increased home schooling 
   Lest Johnny never learn to read anything, no fooling  

While America's safety net is strained past its limits  
   Forced to provide for so many illegals with no stake in it 

Mine is the mandate to shout  
   Mine is the mandate to scream  

Venezuela self-destructs right in front of our eyes  
   As Cuba sixty years ago, it shoud be no surprise 

That her leader cracks down on free institutions  
   And tears up every line of Venezuela's Constitution  

Three millions Venezuelans have already left 
   Now that their economy of oil is bereft  

To the cheers of autocrats the world over  
   Including the leadership of America's Left  

All while Messrs Putin and Xi, in Russia and China, respectively  
   Ramp up their tacit alliance, to bring the West to its knees  

Mine is the call to shout  
   Mine is the call to scream

The President Appears Mad As a Hatter

   then, burn them at the stake,
