My anger and sadness won't cease in each new day
satan taking the Unborn's lease, but not of my say
For I can but only speak and appeal to your soul
These, God's most weak and what's been your role
3,000 a day in this nation, but we cry for other things
The weakest we shun and we'll all see what that brings
That's 125 an hour, two Unborn Children every minute
So how could I ever cower, how could I ever quit(on them)
They are my soul you know, my sadness would bury you
The carnage they won't show but then you'd know too
29 since my first sentence as I wipe tears from my eyes
So wicked and immense unable to sense their own cry's
See The Lord gave us all this burden some just ignore it
Calling themselves women and men well that's a load of
No, this is extremely clear the absolute greatest of sin
But what I'd fear, against God, nobody is going to win
(Dedicated to the Filipino Youth)
Our years of youthful yonder—
carry the mark of strength and beauty.
Like ancient, unwavering mountains,
no force can shake us, no storm can bend us.
Our years of noble sacrifice —
bear the weight of wisdom and menace.
Like the clever, tireless ant in summer daze,
Rizal’s pen a throne of heroes’ embrace.
Our years of patriots and warriors—
roar with Bonifacio’s unbending valor.
Like lions prowling the open fields,
we stand our ground, unyielding to fear.
But our years—
have fallen into darkness.
Like endless nights without the promise of dawn,
we stumble, we falter, we fall.
And our years—
We felt as though we should not come.
Like fleeting bubbles that burst and vanish.
We have wished to reverse our path.
Where are the years-
of no gadgets, but a field pool of friends?
Life has turned into a lonely crypt.
A sorrowful prison enclosing our grip.
Where are the years-
of honor and pride?
We have become like withering grass,
trampled underfoot, trembling, out of gas.
Oh, return our years to us!
You who gave us life and breath—
Like seeds buried deep in the soil,
revive us, anoint us with Your Holy Oil.
Restore the years-
when love for country burned like fire.
As a mother shields her child from storms,
we dream of seeing Her freed and dignified.
As the new year dawns-
strive for what is right,
Like kites soaring in freedom's democracy—
Unafraid to face tomorrow’s tyranny.
For we place our trust in You Almighty.
Oh, years of bicycles and oak trees —
Where have they gone?
Bring them back to us, O gracious Lord.
Breathe the passion we once lost.
Remember You, Creator’s host.
Let the new year come— don’t close.
Standing erect in row upon row like soldiers in formation,
Are marble stones honoring those who died for their nation.
On each is etched the honored name for all eternity,
Of a gallant patriot belonging to a very special fraternity.
Too many stones are etched, "Known But To God Alone."
'Tis sad that the names of those heroes will ne'er be known.
Valiant troops lie asleep who died to ensure freedom's flame,
And sadly, sadly, we don't even know their name!
They sacrificed all upon the field of strife and were torn asunder.
Grieving families gaze upon the stone and will ever wonder,
"Could that be my son, my brother, my daddy sleeping there?"
Alas, they'll never know, adding to their despair.
"Taps" echoes across the rolling plain at the close of day,
To honor those who rest 'neath that hallowed clay.
They'll stand smart and tall when mustered for that last patrol.
Each will proudly answer "Here!" for that final call of the roll!
When Gabriel sounds the trumpet and they shed their funereal gown,
God will embrace each saying, "Soldier, you served Me with renown!"
With unknown name we can't bestow upon them due acclaim,
But we can rest assured that God will, since He knows their name!

Today is a very special day in my contented life.
I've been married 58 years to the very same wife!
I reckon some folks think that incredible in this day and age,
'Specially since fleeting relationships seem to be all the rage!
At Perrin Air Force Base in Texas was where we were hitched.
From that blissful day 'til now my life has been enriched!
We've had our share of laughter, tears and the vicissitudes of life,
But we vowed we'd always see it through as caring man and wife!
We were blessed with three precious kids who brought us so much joy,
Though we were saddened at the loss of Mark, our darling baby boy.
We were further blessed with 6 grandkids and 3 greats who bring us pleasure.
Though I possess little of this world's pelf, I consider each of them my treasure!
My dear Vera was so supportive as I pursued my military career.
She served her nation as well as we moved about this wonderous sphere!
Looking forward to the next assignment, she was always full of cheer.
Lord knows I couldn't have done it without her - she was always near!
I've been honored with many laurels, titles and certificates to be had,
But the titles I cherish the most are husband, grandfather and dad!
When I reach the end of the trail and will have completed my earthly quest,
With my very last breath I can thankfully say, I was truly, truly blessed!

Lord hear my prayer.
I pray for the families in Nashville Tennesse,
who just lost precious family members...
Mike Hill (61), Katherine Koonce (60), Cynthia Peak, (61)
Evelyn Dieckhaus (9), Hallie Scruggs (9), and William Kinney (9).
Please be with their families and give them healing,
and peace knowing their precious souls are with you now.
This isn't goodbye... It's see you again.
Father, I pray for The Covenant School.
For those kids and families that attend there
that you would give them peace as well
and protect them and all those who were involved in this event.
I praise you Father that those officers acted quickly and stopped the
shooter and that nobody else was killed.
. Please protect the police as they are in a dangerous line of work.
I pray for our nation that you would protect us from any harm,
and that more people get to know you
That those who are lost will find your light and want to be with you,
to spend eternity with you Lord.
I pray these things in your holy name,
Amen.
Armed Cyber Conflict Law
Is mepping your logic floor
This president is a bore
His reasoning for the war
You don’t want to stand for
For that with the funds in offshore
The needs of the state or the nation
Do not exist in isolation
THUS foundation we set for
For new Armed Conflict Cyber Law
Perhaps such care for the nation
May be arranged as presentation
Without any obfuscation
Civilian damage does demand the compensation
The reasoning such president evade with Compensation
Makes funny struct of logic degradation
And if he stimulated nationalism
He seriously lacks professionalism
In that which isn’t bound
To what he came to power from
And people seriously downed
This comprehends and DRONE
His strategy isn’t profound
What is for logic this background
When battlefield is his playground
DRONE frowned
Nature frowned
Perhaps you need to be recrowned
It’s funny that humanitarian
Rhymes with authoritarian
Not sure if that was so barbarian
And mannerisms of speech are ARIAN
And state spiritual affairs are sectarian
Each citizen is consumer and they
Should reproduce for natural decay
Not sure if tail this really wags the dog
But nothing stops machine occurring cog

Is our American Nation, now the new frontier
by accepting All People that seek work and life here
I understand technology has shrunken this world
Did the Rights of Citizens shrink, as our flag unfurled
It seems that the loudest voices that you hear today
All cater to self interest, while trying to lead America astray
"We the People" does it still mean Citizens have the Voice
To decide what is best for America, We The People Make The Choice
When big money and interests from outside these states
Try to dictate Our Future, by buying people to act as mates
Remember the words shouted by Paul Revere on his ride
Listen to the cries from our ancestors as they seek to divide
When limits are the only solutions and if bans become fact
Citizens think for yourself, what you lose, and judge the impact
If our States Rights are limited, to a path by government as planned
It's our ancestors battles, blood and voices that put a vote in your hand
We can Teach All The Children of whats right and whats wrong
To pray, Trust in God, the value of family and how to belong
We have been leaving teaching to others to seek and accumulate wealth
Without thinking coins can't buy an Angel or protect children's mental health
Their are so many different answers That We All Need To Discuss,
so cut those puppet strings, start thinking, instead of riding the bus
Chinese Sonnet
Guns of repression thundered for your every word,
The Big Five bowed,river Congo murmured your name.
gold roofs glittered in a sun that had no shame-
Even the moon rehearsed your praises,absurd.
You dreamed that you are the Kilimanjaro of Zaire,
Attired in extravagance and thunder, Buddha in a hat,
Your sycophants and kleptocrats like you,sleazy and fat-
The nation starved,entire generations to learned to fear-
Now termite winds erase your repressive marble halls,
The jungle, uncorrupted, reclaims the golden stair of pride.
No griot weeps,no widow laments your corruption and fall-
Only dogs and crocodiles feast where you lied.
###
Mobutu Sese Seko: He was not kind Uncle Joe From Next Door.
You can describe his rule or more accurately misrule of the country you know
today as The Democratic Republic Of Congo in five words as corrupt,authotarian,
extravagant,repressive and kleptocratic.
His full name was Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga.
I know just trying to make sense pronouncing his name hurts your eyes. So just call him,
''The All-powerful warrior who,because of his endurance and inflexible will to win,goes fro conquest to conquest,leaving fire in his wake.''
I hope you give that name to your worst enemy.They will love you.

The 4th Period of the Spanish Era of Philippine History:
Reform Movement
With the coming of liberalism into the archipelago
The natives & the creoles developed the concept of “Filipino”
And after the Cavite Mutiny & the Martyrdom of Gomburza
Those who called themselves “Filipinos” resorted to Propaganda
The Propagandists were composed of educated individuals
They were from the middle class & elite intellectuals
Among them were Marcelo Del Pilar & Graciano Lopez Jaena
Jose Rizal, Mariano Ponce, Pedro Paterno & Juan Luna
They worked both individually & as a group that converges
They circulated publications & organized masonic lodges
La Solidaridad became the main publication of the Propaganda
Masonic lodges included Asociacion Hispano-Filipino & La Liga Filipina
They sought a compact, vigorous & homogeneous Filipino nation
Being granted protection against violence, injustice & discrimination
They wanted the Filipinos in Spanish Cortes to be represented
Having the Philippine archipelago into Spain as its province assimilated
This is the 4th Period of Spanish Era – Reform Movement
Unlike the revolts, this repercussion was not bloody & violent
With this, the Filipinos went against Spain by paper & pen
God portrayed the Filipinos to the world as erudite men.
