“It Came in Our Dreams”
The Others
watch on,
somewhere above us.
we, ant like
form our battalions
soldier ants
with no substantial sting
repelling reptilian
brains in flight
striking our oily deals
sliding into our nightmares,
acrid smoke, bee-keeping our hives
we strike, in routine formations
they count
our worth.
our number
measured
in what always
walks alone
in our dreams.
they send
their messengers
to us, in our dreams,
while we
war
in our sleep,
in the depth
of our despair
in the flow,
of our dreams.
when we wake
we think,
that was so real -
what was that all about,
that was so real,
where are we -
are we really here?
they count
our worth
our number
measured
in what always
walks alone
in our dreams.
we
are more
vulnerable
than we believe.
we are seen
for what we truly are
human -
the fabric of us, flimsy -
easy
and dispensable.
for a while
we
think,
we are
all
there is -
unique,
in truth,
we ...
lack originality.
wars
of the unreal,
Nuremberg 1541
there have always been battles,
could this
have been real,
or just a dream
Tic-tac-toe
we think we
know
it all
battles come and go
what is drawing us
forward and up
out of our bodies,
from the too deep dream
we toss and turn
in our sleep, nightmares
easy regiments -
dispensable, flimsy
souls
without feet.
one war down
another
to go.
It came in our dreams

I finished high school in the 60's, a decade of 'Change and Revolution'. Got married in the 70's, the decade of 'Accountability and Resolution'. Yes, I became a man in the 70's, a college graduate, a father, a voter, a missionary pastor, and a homeowner. The decade of the 70's was like building a foundation and a platform in anticipation of the decade of the 80's.
The 80's was a decade of 'Reconstruction, Reconsideration, Reconciliation, and Revision'. The 80's, also a decade of Fiscal Responsibility, Vision, and Expansion, gave birth to the formation and rise of the Reagan Democrats. I suspect that Jimmy Carter was no match for the 80's because the 80's ushered in his defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan, who also took on The Air Traffic Controllers and weakened the hands of America's Strong Labor Unions. The Spring of '81 brought us the failed assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan who nearly died but recovered and went on to become a great president who said to the head of the Soviet Union, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall". There were great catches, great runs, great tackles, and great touchdowns as the 80's brought the rise and reign of the San Francisco 49ers. In the late 70's, Americans were captured and held hostage in Iran and released in the early 80's. My first vote for a Republican presidential candidate was cast in 1980 for Ronald Reagan. Our third and last child was born in 1981, and after moving to Sacramento in '86, unable to find work in Sacramento. I commuted to San Francisco for two and a half years. The Aids epidemic broke out in the 80's, and suddenly the sexual revolution was being brought to, if not a halt, at least a pause. Early on with very small attendance, an Aids Seminar was held at our church.

Destiny determined that I do not forget that first Tuesday
in November 1980, and eight years later he said goodbye. So much good accomplished; so much evil averted. With a belief system developed over many years, he had an honorable philosophy tested and tried over time.
Losing his first attempt at national leadership, he was later
triumphant. He led the way rather than join the popular bandwagon, and unlike today's leaders, he believed that the latest polls were designed for information, not for adjustments of his opinions and the political slaughter of his opponent. Because of what he did yesterday, I believe in tomorrow.
A shining light, he was believable and earned our trust. I felt safer from our enemies, prouder, more confident, and certain.
He didn't draw lines in the sand but simply did what he said. When he forewarned interest groups, there were swift followthroughs that set a new tone of action in leadership. I don't deem him great because his domestic actions aided me personally. His common-sense principles
that benefited us all was the hallmark of his greatness.
I still hear the echoes of his words saying to us that our best days are ahead, and we haven't seen anything yet. Because of Ronald Reagan and the God he believed in, the God that our nation seems inclined to dethrone, we will remain ashore between the two great oceans and continue to be that Great Beacon of Light God intended for us to be.
012920PoSpCtest, Ode To A Great President of The Past, Sheri F. Harper HM
Washington DC deeply mourns
Elegance at its best
The horizon of sunrise to sun down which can both contest
The term “STAND BY YOUR MAN”
Nancy Reagan fits that caravan
Social butterfly
Nancy Reagan was her married last name
But her life also surrounded Hollywood in bringing her fame
Yet Nancy Reagan had a very fulfilled life
She lived throughout her creed
Her mission was to continue to proceed
Nancy Reagan’s name known throughout the world
The world’s heart captivated in tears
But her life contributed in having no fears
It was Nancy Reagan’s pause being her own class act
This is a true known fact
There was emptiness in her heart, and she longed to hear her late husband Ronald Reagan voice once again
Ronald Reagan’s voice did call
I saved you a place to be by my side
Heaven was all prepared
The chariot was set just right
Suddenly there was a strong beaming light
Nancy Reagan responded that the light was extremely bright
It was the signal for Nancy Reagan to come up
I saw two flying Doves
It was each in enduring love
Nancy Reagan will be missed
She left an enriched and embraced life
But she also states, don’t mourn long for me
I am at rest in a place I want to be
Yes I was Nancy Reagan for all to see
But I want you to remember me as Nancy
You know, the one into fashion and fancy
My three components, COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION AND DESTINED
This sums up Nancy Reagan’s life while she lived
Her devotion in time that she would normally give
Her motto, Live on, but be involved
The world’s problems, just try to solve
My legacy of who I was speaks for itself
Don’t think of me like everybody else
As a Dove, I must fly on to the next chapter of my life
A journey far and long, but Heaven is where I belong
I hear music in my arrival
I hear singing of joy
My life has been fulfilled and I want you all to carry on still
I say until we meet again to all my loving friends.
JUST DOING MY HOME ECONOMICS
In four (4) years another USA presidential election will come, but…
I am not trying to get rid of Donald John Trump.
He seems to have hell to confront.
Isn’t it awesome thing to see his children as his backbone?
If he wins again, that is super awesome because he will have fulfilled his promises…
Of bringing jobs back to the USA
Of wiping out Islamic terrorism of today
And, of giving greater liberty to our freedoms in place.
Donald J. Trump probably is an H.W.
That is George H.W. Bush.
One (1) term he possessed as President.
This is where a pattern manifested.
First, Reagan served two (2) consecutive terms (8 years) and was Republican.
George H.W. served only 1 term and is Republican.
Then came a Democrat.
Bill Clinton served eight (8) years.
Next came George W. Bush (H.W. son) served 2 consecutive terms.
This is where the pattern flops.
Why, well the next President should have been John McCann; however, Barack Obama, a Democrat, took the reign.
Everything went haywire from here because a generation should have ended.
In this, since Donald J. Trump is a Republican, the pattern revives to an H.W. where…
Republican (2 consecutive terms), Republican (1 consecutive term), Democrat (2 consecutive terms), Republican (2 consecutive terms), Democrat (2 consecutive terms) – should have been Republican but was a Democrat (2 consecutive terms) …
Republican is now the sitting President, which patterns sways to George H.W. Bush if he serves one (1) consecutive term as Commander and Chief.
If Donald J. Trump serves more than one consecutive term, the pattern ends and George H.W Bush is no more part of the equation.
Donald J. Trump has replaced Ronald Reagan.
A new pattern begins where government and history intermingles and is watched for deciphering.

Written January 23, 2017!
I hear Donald Trump
would love to bring to Republican plutocracy
what Abraham Lincoln represented for civilly warring democracy,
but that anti-enslavement resolution
is too hard for me to focus and sustain
in Trump is DivineTrump Land.
What remains most easily
is Donald Trump
as a Ronald Reagan rerun,
a bit of black and mostly relentlessly white,
although not really quite.
Perhaps if Ronald
had been born as comfortably
as Donald,
then he too would never have worked with his body,
and not so much played with his hands,
to make an honest Abe-ish living.
Unlike Donald,
Ronald actually had experience
working for his mortgage.
Well, almost anyway.
Ronald at least had to act as if he could work to make a living,
and on occasion actually remember his lines on cue,
or even deliver four syllables all in one big mean word,
while Donald invests more in one syllable gestures
at least with half our resident population.
And, Abe had some adolescent and young adult experience
with manual labor
and at least cooperatively owned his own attorney at lawyering business,
while for Ronald,
much less Donald,
these were acting skills
as comforting as heroic horse back riding.
So, no, Donald,
you're no Abe Lincoln,
and only in your happiest imagination
would you be as good at play acting President
as was Ronald.
You're just another plutocratic Donald,
not even economically effective at playing Republican.
I wonder if Attila the Hun
was the logical progenitive cause of Republicans,
as Donald Trumps their final post climate-health conclusion;
most illogically anachronistic
to use white over black not quite film stars with patriarchal stripes
when so much polypathic full-color talent
waits in more multiculturally fresh-aired wings.
Robin Hood, man in tights
Julius Caesar, might makes right
Alexander, called "the Great"
Sitting Bull, righteous hate
Robert the Bruce, Attila the Hun
Charlemagne, Napoleon
Hear the call of the alpha male!
Warriors leave a bloody trail.
George Washington, man on the spot
JFK and Camelot
Thomas Jefferson, renaissance man
Abe Lincoln took a stand
Ronald Reagan, Richard III
Henry VIII, Harry Byrd
Hear the call of the alpha male!
In politics it's all for sale.
Hemingway, Shakespeare, Kant, and Plato
Chaucer, Shelley, Cicero, Cato
Voltaire, Dickens, Rene Descartes
Byron, Lawrence, Jean-Paul Sartre
Hear the call of the alpha male!
Some prefer to write the tale.
Wolfgang Mozart, dead so young
Leonard Bernstein's song is sung
Picasso, art you love to hate
Ludwig Beethoven, voice of Fate
Bach, Lennon, and Shostakovich
Monet, Manet, Buddy Rich
Hear the call of the alpha male!
Art and music fill some sails.
Joe Montana, football star
Michael Jordan raised the bar
Wayne Gretzsky, Hall of Fame
Jesse Owens changed the game
Rockne, Ruth, Gehrig, Orr
Chamberlain, Beckham, Man O' War
Hear the call of the alpha male!
Athletic prowess up for sale.
Tyrone Power, Harrison Ford
John Glenn, Sir Thomas More
Edmund Hillary, John Donne
Albert Einstein, Brigham Young
James Dean, Alvin York
Margaret Thatcher, Robert Bork
Audie Murphy, Mohandas Gandhi
Chris Columbus, Walter Ralegh
Hear the call of the alpha male!
Now it's time to end this tale.
Woe to she who hears his cry,
Destined, like as not, to die;
For alpha males blaze bright and sweet,
But she-moths burn inside their heat.
Many there be have turn their backs to thee/
No sense of remorse,
No notion of integrity or respect/
You stand so proud with your head in the air/
Waving your hands like you just don't care ?
But none the worse for wear,
Heroes Are Not Forgotten !
Those men and women who have waved the banner high !
With every bit of stregnth that have fought with no remorse,
We often get tongue tied within ourselves/
In the great melted pot we call The United States of America,
It was for freedom that our ancestor's fought to so desperatley uphold/
Far too many of us take it for granted !
They have eyes but tend to look the other way/
Paying litle to no homage to buw their heads to pray ?
One day every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord !
There will be no mistake about it !
Those that pierced his side and pulled his beard/
Many say that us Christians are wierd/
You will know on that very day that he's not someone that you could play !
Heroes Are Not Fogotten !
Just look what that ass did Ben Laden !
We need to speak up now or forever hold your peace/
This world for some is a will for power,
Perhaps your all in need for a long cold shower/
Stay up late to listen to the radio The Hour Of Power !
No, Heroes Are Not Forgotten in this land of cotton !
We will lift up our head high to look toward the sky/
As a beacon of hope to a hurting worls in need/
Where as other's are just dying to see you bleed,
We will remember John Wayne in this old house of pain/
Bob Marley and The Wailer's,
Ronald Reagan and his awesome plans !
Last but the best Jesus is my man !
Martin Luther King would not tolerate it, and call it a crying shame. Shelf-life is what matters, and it has become more important than nourishment. News Flash: Quality really is no longer 'Job One'. For more than a generation, I have heard cries to save good jobs, clean air, clean water, green trees, and endangered species. It appears the ballots, as well as the die, have been cast. We have decided to run the world 'our way'. Away with Jesus! Give us Barabus!! Nevertheless, there still may be time, and we shall, therefore, pray as we wipe away our tears and work to make way for hope, restoration, and renewal.
Ronald Reagan would challenge it and call it a crying shame. Barely heard are lesser cries to save unborn babies from abortion as well as the entire human race from Artificial Intelligence, robots, and self-destruction. Once upon a time, I heard the cries of 'Let freedom ring!' It meant freedom for everyone. It appears that civility is on vacation. The 'hot emotions' of selfishness cries, 'Let my freedom ring!'. There is a runaway train on a down-hill course headed for certain disaster. Its cargo consist of The Bill of Rights, The Constitution, Family Values, Traditional Marriage, Freedom, and Justice. There is hope the high-speed train can be slowed, detoured, or stopped. Maybe there is yet time. Maybe not. We shall see.
