Founding fathers believed in freedom of the press, religion, speech, assembly, and petition.

Opportunity must be opened to all.

United we stand and divided we fall.                                                                                                                                                                            

Religious establishment by the government is prohibited.

Trial by jury is a constitutional right; taxation without representation is not.

High crimes and misdemeanors by the president are impeachable offenses.

Oligarchies(Rulership by 'the few') in America must never be allowed.

Freedom is not really free; it always cost us something.
 
Justice delayed is justice denied.*

Union of 50 states makes up The USA.                                                                                                                                                         	

Liberty and Justice in America are for all.

Yielding to the will of the majority is the American way.

2 Timothy 4:3-4:4
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So, they will turn their ears away from truth and turn aside to myths.


The practitioners of “The Big Lie”
Election results, one must never decry

Let us examine some history
By which we’ll note the hypocrisy

Al Gore in 2000, Hillary in 2016
Stacy Abrams in Georgia did scream 

How does one discern what is truth
The good book says examine the fruit produced

Thirty-two million for Mueller to investigate
Months of media claiming Trumps a reprobate

What did this produce folks 
It was all a Democrat and media hoax

Impeachment over a phone call to Ukraine
No high crimes or misdemeanors was plain 

Hunter’s laptop called Russian disinformation
January 6th labeled an insurrection

No guns, no bombs, not even pitchforks
Capitol Police acting as escorts

If you are unable to see rotten fruit
Providing more evidence is simply moot

Just know that Paul foretold it all
We need a revival, or America will fall

My Misdemeanors

Everything I do seems to find a way to mock me.
A jeering derision to the paradox of my delicacy.
Each impulsive haste of emotion knocks on the wood of my wretch. 
A doleful stimulation to invigorate the louse of my lassitude. 
The inertia of my cunning shrewd howls against the odium of my filth.
Against the odium of my haste.
The odium of my humility.
And the odium of my unadulterated abhorrence.
I find myself comparing the speckled illustrations of my masked exploitation. 
One of a noble morality.
One of a sinful salvation.
And one of the reprehensible dignity I carry within the reality of my reviled anatomy.
The reality of my depiction.
The reality of my void.
Every word of degradation invokes the ice of my celestial petition.
A celestial plead for an implosion so grave; it dares to uphold a cathedral of my indented dejection.
My fortitude of a sunken dejection.
My poverty of an exiled dejection.
My deception of a gouged dejection.
I am nothing but the prolonged corpus of my own vile vulgarity;
I am nothing but the corrupted potency of my own induced pallet;
I am nothing but the misdemeanour of my own cholerised pertinence.

Poetry Thievery

Any good judge and jury would convict me
Slam the door shut, toss out the key
High crimes and misdemeanors in the first degree
Caught in cahoots with poetry

Armed with pen and paper in hand
Stealing from me all that I have
Until my muse says there's nothing left
Empty's the till inside my pounding head

I'll sing like a stool pigeon in the hot seat
In a police line up I'll point out the poetry
Say that's the one that did this to me
The one with the sly smile and rhyme in his teeth

I'll throw myself on the mercy of the court
Plead insanity as I cackle and cough
To tell the truth if you only knew
That last statement is not too far off

Premium Member Shores of Uncertainty

As his mind drifts upon silent shores of uncertainty, 
he ponders what was, what is and what is yet to come.
He wonders why no one understands the pangs of his soul,
unsure if his thoughts are heard, as they float away with the wind. 

Misdemeanors of his mind are plagued by battles within his heart,
deliberating whether the seed of his creed will bleed or succeed. 
Before him lies a path infected by vermin devouring dead crows,
behind him a collection of unchallenged emotions from a forgotten childhood.

Dog Tired This Day March 29th 2018

A minor typo found this fanatic spell binding hound to resend a poem posse sub bully dashed off in a huff (past the hour) if nothing else than fur his spurt full of peace, bot tee, and mind. 
     Thus this Norwegian bachelor wannabe (most closely aligned with said status closely attained unmarried state by pledging my Unitarian troth)  tilled, sown, and furrowed spirit nsync with the missus sleeping in close proximity.

dog tired this day - march 29th, 2018
no matter this dawg gone pup
    took numerous one after another cat nap
his utterly fatigued
    body electric still ragged

    as if he went without sleep for a lifetime,
    ensnared within a time warp,
    espied that aggravating "aw SNAP"
(error code instead of a webpage

    indicating Chrome happens to be 
    experiencing problems loading)
    or, simultaneously
    caught in a narcoleptic parent trap

thus, while a burst of energy
    temporarily doth prevail
(a priori which extreme fatigue
    of body, mind and spirit -

    more troublesome, and worse than -
    getting crucified
    with a rusty nine inch nail
alleviated with deep sleep finds

    much more tiredness
    than usual quotidian sleepiness
    bruiting this male)
    being imprisoned (for high
    gram matt tick crimes

   and misdemeanors) such as: comma, splices,
    dangling a modifier, splitting an infinitive,
    unnecessary parenthesis (), et cetera
    which landed me punctually,

    proverbially, and squarely 
    in the slaammed shut jail
fed thin gruel with grubs that didst flail
nauseating pluperfect revulsion
    each time hide exhale

which, many hours long rests did restore
for a bit of time only for totally tubular
     exhaustion to come roar
ring back leaving me tour
    charred as if...i fought in every major war.

The Lady In the Flowers

The lady in the flowers


The lady in the flowers with the white cotton dress;
It flows behind her and clings to her, as she gathers her bouquet.
With her crown made from picked daisies, she looks like a Princess;
Her smile shines like a sun beam on the fourth of May.


In this magical place, we are lost no more; we are in love!
Good Heaven’s above, are sending signals to us.
As she dances through the tulips,
She is soft to the touch and receptive to my advances;
Ladies in lavender do not give second chances.
But she is truly forgiving all my misdemeanors;
She is a vision in white and I want to be dancing with her.


As the path made from patches of grass,
Leads us into a beautiful future;
I am at ease in this place of peace.
She passes through reeds and then I lose her!


She vanishes beneath the water and all I see is her waving goodbye.
Oh my!  Where has she gone?  I am screaming on the inside;
But as I dive in search of her, I find myself…


...in a wonder land.
I had never imagined that this dream could really have happened.
Into the water and through to the other side;
I climb out into her arms and again off she glides.


So once again I give kiss chase;
In case this time she is gone for good.
But she is never really leaving me;
She is just leading me to a place where we can be in love.


The leaves are multi-coloured
And this place has forever been hidden from all before.
She has welcomed me into her fantasy;
I can be a part of her world.


She skips through clear puddles
And in each of them I see my double.
I am a stranger on the inside
And I am rather befuddled.


But she is the fairy light I follow morning until night
And with all my might I shall become a part of her life.
Out into the clear, there is so much to see and to hear
And whenever she is near, blue birds suddenly appear.


A blanket is waiting next to a hamper for two.
We can rest now we have found each other…
Love is in bloom.

Premium Member Oh Captcha Squares

Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
What are these objects in your frames?
Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
Why must they gotta be the same?

    Cars and busses, traffic lights
    Bicycles and motor bikes
    Crosswalks, signs, and steps and stairs
    Fire hydrants everywhere        

    Boats, planes and parking meters 
    Tickets, fines, misdemeanors
    Why are you so fond of these?
    Why are palms the only trees? 

Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
The pictures trapped inside of there
Oh captcha squares, oh captcha squares
Depict a world so bleak and bare

   Arid, bland, unaesthetic
   Barren, drab, unpoetic
   Sterile, cold, antiseptic
   Unconcerned, apathetic 
   
   Somber, sad, and desolate 
   Woeful, bland, pedestrian
   Weary, grim, dreary, hopeless
   Grainy, gray, out of focus 
 

It doesn’t need to be this way…

Many things could fill your squares
Why not fill these things in there?

   Tambourines and castanets 
   Bass trombones and clarinets
   English horns and piccolos
   Harpsichords and xylophones

   Fiddles high and Irish whistles
   Jingle bells and finger cymbals
   5-string banjos, mandolins
   Saxophones, accordions

   Desmond Tutu and Mandela
   Cassius Clay, Cinderella
   Charlemagne and Genghis Kahn
   George and Ringo, Paul, and John 

   Twain and Edgar Allan Poe
   Wayne and Brando and Monroe
   Ida Wells, Frida Kahlo
   Steinem, Parks, and Ferraro

   River Thames and stormy seas
   Winter wrens and bumble bees
   Cyprus, ash, oak, fir, and pine
   Sassafras, willow, and lime

   Daffodils and magnolias
   Marigolds and begonias
   Cabbage, beets, and potatoes
   Carrots, beans, and tomatoes

Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
If your pictures must remain
Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
How aboutcha change the frames?

   Captcha circles, captcha suns
   All the captcha olygons
   Wiggly captcha twiggly lines
   Twisty captcha twiny vines 
  
   Captcha diamonds, captcha hearts
   Captcha clovers, moons, and stars
   Captcha ribbons, Captcha lace
   Captcha colored string bouquets

Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
We understand you're here to stay.
Oh Captcha Squares, Oh Captcha Squares
Just be more creative, OK?

Premium Member Judgement Day

He was whisked away on a gurney - to begin his eternal journey,
To meet Saint Peter at the Golden Gate - to learn of his ultimate fate;
To strum with angels on the lyre - or be doomed to the lake of fire.
It depended if he'd been fairly nice - or had led a life of odious vice!

"I've read your rap sheet, my boy - so with Me try no devious ploy.
You're in a heap of trouble, son - a lawyer you may need ere this day is done!
Get in that line over yonder - while your borderline case I ponder.
Don't give my angels any sass - as I check the offenses you did amass!"

He'd tried to obey the Ten Commandments - without adding any amendments.
He must do something in a hurry - wondering whose favor he might curry.
He quizzed others who'd met their fate - on how to enter the Golden Gate.
They said if he had been good - his redemption was of more likelihood!

Saint Peter eyed the list - checking off items with a flick of His wrist.
Some misdemeanors he tossed aside - but felonies he could not abide.
Good and bad deeds were about fifty-fifty - but this guy was acting very shifty.
"It could be decided with a coin toss - but I'd rather refer this to The Boss!"

So with a not too gentle nudge - Pete led him to The Venerable Judge.
There he earnestly pled his case - his many transgressions to erase.
The Big Judge heard him out - tho' even He had some lingering doubt.
"Son, arise from the floor - Pete, you can let him enter The Door!"

WOULD YOU STILL LOVE ME--

        Come here before me my love darling love, would you still love me?
                      Would you still love me if I were improvised?
       Though riches are though your kisses maybe, would you still love me;
    If I would not engage in loving you physically until our wedding night, sigh;
                                
                                     Would you still love me?
              
             Would you still love me If I suddenly stop worshiping God;             
       Though riches are though your kisses maybe, would you still love me;
                Sudden chances random glances, would you still love me;
                     I'm not that perfect in this would you still love me;

                     And would you still love me if I were a convict;
                          And would you still love me if I confess;
       Could I be forgiven for my misdemeanors, would you still love me
         Come here before my love darling love, would you still love me?


                          Would you still love me or find it odd;
             If I were at your beck and call would you still love me?
                      Would you still love me would I be forgiven?
              In the event you do forgive me, would you still love me?
