Premium Member BIBLICAL NOT POLITICAL

Biblical Not Political 

A young woman turned political in my day
Pulled in to a debating world on topics that would sway 
Involved with the topics disappointed with news,
Failing our race with disgrace, and political power misused.

All my life an American patriot, since from sixteen I recall,
believing “United we stand, and divided we fall.”
Seeing a nation now divided before my eyes,
with such extreme that one’s party of choice, could mean their demise.

Having affiliation with both political sides, now feeling displaced,
Now deciding that for peace and guidance, to seek God’s face. 
He showed me a vision of an eagle, only to watch and pray,
for our country and whatever President, of our day,
 
He showed me that for voting guidance, not for what will be heard,
To open up my Bible and study His Word.
“I will use whomever I will; but you this day,
whether a King is righteous or is wicked, I will have my way.”

“My eye is on the eagle, but you keep your eyes on me, 
for my Word shall also be fulfilled in your present day.
On that day I left my patriotism in God’s hand,
for the failing ground of America, His Word I now stand! 

Biblical not political, is the way I now go, 
Encouraging unity in Christ Jesus, is all you need to know.

Comes The Reckoning

The devil
not leaving ... 
still in my employ

Our contract
most simple ...
once signed to destroy

He offers
me riches
beyond every dream

And smiles
the smile
his depravity screams

Contented
to wait
as time has no measure

Within his dark
fortune
damnation a treasure

But once 
out of wishes
the reckoning comes

To bathe
in the mire
— of eternity’s scum

*********  

Red Coats & Tempests

If history
interred
in the shallowest
 grave

Freedom
 reborn
in a desperate
 age

Throughout conflict
and eras
they march 
hand in hand

History
for certain
but freedom 
must stand

The attacks
on its drafters
and champions 
combined

To carry
e’er forward
and forever
remind

That values
held precious
and tenets 
held true

With blood
and with treasure
 be defended 
 anew

Until
decades and 
centuries
have given it form

And through
red coats 
and tempests
— to weather the storm

********  

Let Freedom Ring

The decent opinion
of humanity
is the lever 
that changes the world

The defense of that
opinion has bound us
into a country
that history will herald

The tenets and phrases
defining
what the patriot
and free man requires

Contained in our
most sacred scripture
by Jefferson
— and others inspired

********** 

Death Before Dishonor

Crushing the hardest stone
besting the vilest foe
Raising the highest flag
sinking the deepest hoe

Living one for the other
in unity we stand
Death before dishonor
— upon this sacred land

******** 


Safe Passage

Your words
are most attractive
They sit
above your form
To tell of deep
encounters
Inside
where truth is born

They float most free
above you
A literary  
crown
To guarantee
safe passage
And speak the truth
— profound

Premium Member In The Morning

(“Enemy of the State Merit Badge”, 2011, original oil)

In The Morning

In the morning the house smells
Of the sandalwood scented candle
I burned all night
In honor of a slain patriot.
I wake heart still heavy
And it just gets heavier
When the news keeps coming in
Of how much his enemies despised him
And how they gleefully celebrate now.
It’s odd to think of sane people celebrating
The murder of a kind and just and righteous, 
And may I say, pure soul.
It just goes to show where their hearts are
And where they are not.
Morning dawns on a new day
As hundreds of millions of Americans wake up
To what is now an openly declared war
Between good and evil, liberty and tyranny.
And somehow it feels like 1775
All over again.

Premium Member State Of Grace

State of Grace  

	An Army nurse hoses blood off the floor.
	while the doughnut dollies smile and flirt 
        with the wounded boys
	down the hall.
	Back home they scream baby killers, Spit in our  
        faces with sadistic joy.
	White sheets cover the dead soldiers, just boys, being wheeled
        out one after another, out the door, too late.
	Body bags await, and body parts stacked up by the door.
	She held his cold hand, as he lay dying, in fear… calling
	calling for his momma, 
	Nurses in tears can’t take any more, but they wheel in 
        another dying boy through the door.
	Screams of pain, dulled by heavy monsoon rain 
	pounding on too thin canvas walls.
	Unforgiven... in a State of Grace one boy after another dies
	time and time again, she must hose their blood off the floor.
	Padre telegram in trembling hand, knocks on the… it’s
	The door is open?
	Memories of rows flag draped lead lined coffins 
	as he steps through the door.
	And sees the boy’s young wife, naked, with a stranger.
	on the… looks away, can’t watch this anymore...
	who the  are you?
	Your husbands been wounded, 
	but he is doing well, he lies...... Well…. Wel..l
	Well, he has lost both of his arms and legs,
	she said, So, he’s not dead? , , , 
        no NO GOD DAMNED insurance payout, 
	no no no?
	He turns and leaves the boys wife
        still naked wife in a State of Grace, with a  
        stranger on the…..
	Padre in tears walks out the door …. 
        Shaking hands, he, recounts
	the telegrams, undelivered, yet again, quickly,
        there’s still six more.
	Fate, like Charlottes topaz eyed… tiger still lurking in shadows
	As an Army nurse in a State of Grace, 
	hoses the blood off the floor, and stacks
        the body bags by the door...

         11,000 nurses served in Vietnam, were volunteers. Many still suffer from PTSD.. GrocPedia (Elon Musks) wikipedia did an interesting review of this poem. I should say that im not a
 pacifycist, i was a soldier, and i would rather die a patriot than a coward...

Premium Member Be Loyal

Be loyal whether things are going your way or not.
Unite with your fellow dwellers
Speak your mind 
After you listen to their views
Take them seriously
You are in this together

Be loyal to your country, your family, and your friends
Do not allow anyone to put them down.
Stand up for what is right.
Show that you are listening,
And when you disapprove 
Explain why in a kind and loving way.

Be loyal to your soldiers. Defend them and their assignments.
They are not given choices. They are given orders.
They follow them in good faith.
To keep the country healthy.
To allow you to enjoy your life
While they are possibly sacrificing theirs
In your honor.

Be loyal to your country’s mandates, and beliefs.
If there is something that needs to be changed,
Advocate.
But in a heartfelt, cooperative, 
Wise and caring way.
Do not speak badly of your government or her policies.
Be loyal always.


Premium Member Texian Macabre Arena

The First Texian Macabre Arena Ballad (The extended free-fallen edition)
 
In another life, is where I first saw your face!
One summer afternoon, lying wounded next to the dead
Unopened gun powder, mass destruction, a land of disgrace
A blood thirst battlefield is where I first saw your face
The sound of war, hidden behind bleeding hands
Crawlers, render their lives giving grace
 
Jaws of steel, broken, embracing, warm feelings
Summer rain, lungs filled with blood, one last post
Glorious by numbers, screaming blades
Gemstone in touch with the Holy Ghost  
Soldiers come in a little close 
Crawling, missing limbs, 
Twisted nightmare with no ending

Macabre reminder, retracing the aroma of eternal life
Secrets buried like a treasure under walls of sudden death
Revolutionary tears found on a rusted Bowie knife
Lanterns, crackling against the dying wind
Dirt piles of crushed windpipes -- sudden death
Rummage like garbage, the dead Texian
A Falling Alamo Star, taking one last twinkle upon the sky

Forgotten Patriots, I can't remember the names
Written on walls, I can't remember the names
A folktale arena is where I first saw your face
Fairness of stuttered surrender slicing through iron brace
Crawling, with the hunger to live, a clean finish with grace
Exposing, scars needing mother's hands, mothers face

Across infested meadows, the aroma of burning skin
Distant, before Texas and her annexation, 
Gruesome, before I lived, Texas and her mortal sin
I pledge, my love, the honor, a legion, I'm a full blown Texian
To Every Forgotten Texian Patriot----- We Win!

Premium Member Legacy

Observing the realities of today's society 
While contemplating the legacy we leave our children 
Seeing only degradation of morality 
And destruction of purpose 
As we liberalize a generation 
Making murder of the unseen child
Obsession of materialism 
Exploitation of the human spirit
Not only acceptable
But encouraged  
Dividing by status 
With governmental repression of achievement and the repeated errors
Committed three centuries ago under puritanical rule
A legacy of blatant stupidity supported by
A not so supreme court of lawless 
And a House of Misrepresentation 
Promoting failure
Demoralizing effort and vision and 
Creating entitlement minded robots
Of human flesh and programmed minds
No longer able to rebel only to accept what is, as is
 A cry for the return of the patriot
A need to resurrect the glory
A reversal of the demise of faith 
Restoring hope
An assault on ignorance then will become 
                     A legacy of love

Premium Member Get Er Done

GET’ER DONE 


I don’t like a bragging bigot,
Tall in stature, but in class, a midget

A man of faith, a fool to some
But at least a man who’ll get’er done.

I don’t like a man, who’s mouth is runny,
You’ll be outraged or think it’s funny.

A brilliant boss, a beast to some,
At least a man who’ll get’er done.

Don’t like a bull in a China shop,
Cut to the chase, fail or flop.

Not a fan of most everyone,
But at least a Hulk who’ll get’er done.

Would we rather one tailor fit,
political liar, bumbling twit... 

A wrecking ball that ain’t bout Schmidt?
Excuse my colorful candid wit.

Give me a proven man
whose paid the cost,
have built an empire being the boss,

Went far out into the deep,
to save his country rocked to sleep

Some’ll beg to differ, but here’s the sum.
We needed a patriot who would get’er done!

Differently Different

A paper and a pen
I need a few to tell stories of my pain
Not of what has passed 
But of that which is to come
If this isn’t a curse tell me what it is
Pink skin yet of my father’s race
No melanin even on the hair on my face
I fear the sun, it doesn’t favor my kind
I fear the dark; it plays games with my mind
And I fear my own people, 
That I’m a man they don’t mind
"People-phobic'', I thought they were brothers
Maybe not anymore because they have places to go,
Houses to build, cars to buy, 
a life to live, food to dine;
Because they think I am the gateway to Jacuzzis
That my bones are a fortune worth taking a life for
I was only born different as my purpose was, different

Should I scream? Should I mourn?
Should I call the pastor to do my eulogy?
Should I be waiting for another sunset?
Maybe bid farewell to the melodies from the air?
How long should I be living in terror?
For we never know, who and when it will be
Brothers are slaying brothers
Whom shall I trust? The police?
Who is to blame? The neediness?

Should I cover my skin from the sun?
And hide my skin from your sons?
If I had dark skin, I would breach
To save my skin, and ease mama’s worries
But this pale cocoon will take me to the grave 
Save me, I am a son and a brother too
I am a mother, and a patriot too
I have dreams, and future ahead
I am just different, and not the “Capital”
