There have been eleven presidents in my lifetime
and all but one has acted “Presidential.”
I recall, as a child, listening to adults discuss
politics and presidents, as if they were in a class
above the norm, living in a white house reserved
for the very elect.
As a young adult, I recall how presidents
ignored criticism, while lieutenants attacked enemies
with a vengeance each night on radio and television.
But then western culture changed, slowly at first,
replacing suits with T-shirts, canvas shoes for leather.
The wealthy relaxed and lived simpler lives, pretending
to be middle class.
Formalities gave way to new conventions.
Mothers use words that make grandmothers blush.
Personal honor is obsolete and materialism ranks
higher than spiritualism.
Finger food and paper napkins dominate menus,
while china cabinets collect dust.
And then a president was elected, reflecting this new
culture; one who flaunts old customs and is self-absorbed.
It matters not what political party is represented.
It was inevitable.
Critics decry the loss of tradition.
Many are offended that the president fails to reflect
the dignity of George Washington,
who is now detested by many for owning slaves.
Turmoil surrounds an office that retaliates,
denigrates and pontificates hourly.
Calls for more “Presidential” behavior go unheeded.
And then the unexpected happens.
A previous president is sucked into the mire,
begging the question,
“Is it unpresidential for an ex-president to criticize
a sitting president for being unpresidential?”
Where this ends one cannot tell,
but as society sinks to lower levels,
elected leadership follows.
John Quincy Adams, our Sixth President,
to meet with Mole People, planned a descent
down to the center of Earth where they stayed.
Left office too soon...expedition not made.

"John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) American diplomat and
Sixth President of the United States of America 1825-1829.
No doubt U.S. presidents use their position of power to do
some strange things, but John Quincy Adams just may win
the award for the weirdest appropriation of tax dollars.
Believe it or not, John Quincy Adams, our Sixth President,
authorized an expedition to the center of the Earth to search
for the mole people who he believed inhabited the bowels
of the planet."

Tanks
"Da Tanks, da Tanks."
The President is not Chairman Mao.
Come on now!
Gads, what an ungrateful nation!
Perhaps haughty Don Lemon or
that court jester, Jim Acosta,
Two snobby nobodies behind
a mike, turning brains to mush
every night,
Could please each American
just right?
Go online tomorrow, you will
find how many presidents used
tanks and fly-overs.
The list is long, we are not
Tianimin Square!
But CNN and MSNBC, masters
of disinformation,
Make you think so!
Truth to them is totally cracked
and libelous information.
Such elitism, and political bigotry!
With utmost conceit will not cover
the DC events.
But! Will have proponents of
abortion on most happily.
Killing babies is OK, don't you see?
JFK, oh, so revered, had tanks
too!
And Fly Overs are happening,
even at football and baseball games.
And many civic events, yes!
So stop the hysteria over this
bizarre craziness.
Our country, our values are
being shredded.
Like the cheapest Wal-Mart
lettuce.
Wake the heck up!
Obama had more than enough sense
to have TWO Betsy Ross flags
behind him at BOTH of his
inaugurations.
Nobody said a word. Huh?
MSNBC, you all,just compared
the Betsy Ross flag to a
Swastika?
Oh, Lord, the total number of brains
there?
The size of a small brassica!

Ya..Let Freedom Ring
Love
Simple word but extensive meaning
A word that drives all crazy
A word that shouts obsession as its replica
Overused and easily dismissed
Love
Simple but stupid
Mentors,presidents,guardians everyone warns
Don't fall in love
Love is for the weak
Love is bull
And i too second that
Love
A pronounced gesture of caring
Worries of those you don't want to loose
Love is like a drug,,,
Can get you killed,addicted or healed
Its just a joint letter word
Nothing about it is pleasing to endure
Its Root's are promiscuous
Its saving form during scandals is enticing
Its healing power is a mystery
But it is all in the brain.
Slap me with theories
Skin me using scriptures
Stand,point fingers
Still,,love is a coated form of the word care
Sacrifices made,calls made,texts we receive,gifts and places we go....
Don't torment my mind with the ''its love thing''
How much "MONEY" has public "Media Lost" at the cost of telling the truth? How much money has "Facebook " lost at the cost of letting people speak the truth? The truth has been "Fillibusted" and "Sequested" by the crazy people who are the "Domestic Enemy"? They get paid,and they get paid ,and they get laid,and they misbehave. They never report their taxes that remains unpaid!They break the law daily,and criminal "Legislatures"pass laws that are opposite or right,and are wrong,but the opposite party says "Carry ON"!
Did "Facebook" "Loose " "Two Million"866 Billion "Dollars for "Blocking" "Freedom of Speech? Will they try to get what they loss for listening to a person who will not pay his taxes,and cause "Facebook" to take a "LOSS"? "Facebook" is getting ready to use "The Fillibuster" on what has been "Sequested"!!!!!WHO HAS NOT MADE THEIR TAXES KNOWN,BUT WANTS TO BE RELECTED? WELL IT IS TIME FOR THOSE TAX REPORTS TO "REALLY BE "SEQUESTED",AND NEVER NEGLECTED!
As a Politician
to get re-elected
you want the world to love you
as a dictator
ruling your people
you want your country at peace
you can attempt to use force
you can create prisons
to locked up the people
that argue or fight against you
yet how much better
would it be
To rule a country that loved you
to rule a country that adored you
to rule a country that voted for you
that screamed to have you back
Use the methods
rich people use to create wealth
teach your people to invest together
making life easier for themselves
giving them extra income
allowing them to live life
out of debt
invest in building a world of fun
Walt disney invested in disneyland
creating joy for the world
your people could also invest
in creating disney lands
creating work for your people
takes children off the streets
reducing crime
making parents proud
Creating a system
where the people become investors
creates wealth for you country
taking you out of a depression
overcoming the budgets problems
as people become successful
their praise will come to you
their success builds your respect.
" VA PENSIERO, " was one of the most
famous of Verdi's masterpieces:
the Chorus of the Hebrews slaves
lamenting for their Motherland
by the Euphrates' River...as
Nabuchadnezzar II, the tyrant,
decided their sordid fate,
to silence their indisputable faith!
Zucchero has made it widely known,
by changing the lyrics to a modern theme,
it's sumptuous melody is still the same,
connecting the bridges of past and future;
in his uTube video, the misery
of the hungry and destitute children
is clearly evoked and profoundly felt,
as mountains, oceans and cities dazzle in beauty!
The singer had the vividiest imagination,
taking along his son on his memorable jeourney,
to show him what the thought of a dreamer can accomplish,
to go beyond any unreachable boundary,
and find the purpose and motivation:
visualizing how the changes can affect everyone's freedom!
Go there with him with your ultimate wish and dream;
and what seemed impossible can finally become real!
" VA PENSIERO, " is the right and logical song
for our troubled times to persuade Presidents and Kings to do good,
so that they may alliviate, with their kindness, some
of the acute pains and correct the many injustices our world has ever known;
happily sing it with all who believe in peace and brotherhood,
shout it in every street and avenue to declare love!
Hate has reigned supreme for too long in this unfair society;
God's presence and guidance are needed for Mankind's liberty!

There's gonna be a party.
Just come as you are.
We've all been invited,
From near and from far.
There'll be great food and drink,
And we'll dine royal fare;
And there's no need to worry,
About what to wear.
There'll be kings and queens,
And princes and nobles,
Presidents and residents,
And all of the locals;
But you're just as special,
As any your neighbors,
'Cause your worldly status,
Gets no special favors;
For all you've accomplished,
And all you've acquired,
Is just so much garbage,
And we'll be attired,
In brand new white robes,
A gift from The Father,
Who'll welcome us home,
In person, with honor.

Captain Robert Carnage sailed away on a leaking
ship called the Chesapeake Bay
A tattered crew sailed at his side,
a fickle crew on a dead man’s ride.
Ragged sails pussed a seafaring wreck
cracking and creaking on a reeling deck
sailing out on a sea of shame;
The Pirate Captain, he’s the blame.
A wicked captain with a wicked heart,
made um walk the plank to play their part.
To curse his deads gave him the dreads,
those that did would wake up dead.
He sent many a sailor down to the deep,
straight to the bottom from a storm tossed heap.
Then came the day when the tide would turn
and crew of bony sailors with a fish to burn,
sent a wicked hearted captain over in the drink,
Straight to the bottom from a stormed tossed heap
The Church of Presidents
By Franklin Price
06/02/2020
Saint John's, near the White House, is the church of Presidents
Rioters tried to burn it, at least that's how the story went.
Not peaceful people protesting, who set the church on fire,
But trouble making criminals who, some say, were there for hire.
Doesn't matter much at all, whether they were paid or not
Their protests were not peaceful, they were there to stir the pot
Setting fires and looting are not by the Constitution.
Americans should gather peacefully, to protest for resolution.
Those who go outside the law to spread their hate around
Should quickly be disbanded wherever they are found.
Donald Trump the President says pretty much the same.
But does some pretty foolish things, when he tries to play the game.
Bible in hand, walked to the church, during protests yesterday.
Left the safety of the White house, tear gas and cops to clear the way
He did not need to stir the pot, to make news scream and shout
What he did was well within his rights, that's what protestation's all about
Although it was his right to do, should not have shoved it in our faces.
He could have chosen better times and, for sure, much better places.
He is still our only president, still the one that I support.
He should think sometimes of consequence, when doing things for sport.
