Oh patriot, oh patriot!
Indeed, their voices we
admire – anthem of those
selfless who God and country
did aspire! Gave their all.
Oh husband, oh Father
went into fire, returned
not~ from battle’s lethal
muck and mire. God
above, having all thy
supposed power, let us
remember them not just
with prayer and flower,
but by a greater humanity,
blessed rule of Christ's manifest
loving presence ever with us.
Dear Host of heavenly
bower, oh God, our Lord
rescue this earth, teach us
to forgive and treasure, such
gift of life, each soul of Your
Own Sacred Body Measure.
In the USA, 911 is also Patriot Day.
In spite of the good, bad, and ugly,
I am forever an American Patriot.
I am grateful for all the good.
Go on and wrap me up
In the red, white, and blue.
She's both bitter and sweet.
I love her just the same
I stand up; speak up; speak out;
And fight against the bad and evil.
I face up to the ugly and do my best
To paint a prettier picture of America.
The patriot platform, have come to the fore.' In England, making an impact
Of that i am quite sure' can they bring
Co-hesion? Lift a country of of its floor.?
They say they are non-violent, and shy of
Politics/law..I can't see an easy road at all.'
So many promises have fallen through.'
Can they steer clear of the banksters
Usurious; fell and foul.that is so true" Then maybe
Just maybe? they can get their land out of
The hole its entered, with right actions and stromg hands , to the plough. They
Need to be, and stay as people centered.'
patriot
loyal, proud
honoring, praising, saluting
USA, soldier, criminal, miscreant
deceiving, dissembling, hustling
crooked, cagey
traitor
Patriot love, as mourned o'er.
Ashamed whilst obliged to feel!
'Old Glory' draped in.
With blood-guilt dripping.
The Past's top romanticist.
Outdated, affections for.
Who's pose none salute.
Hero's; in dispute.
18th April 1775 on the strong big-boned mare
'Brown Beauty' may have been her name
borrowed from John Larkin a very good horse
of Narragansett Pacer fame
a copper-bottomed silversmith
Son of Liberty Patriot and Boston-born
riding with Prescott and Dawes toward Lexington
then Concord minutemen in advance to warn
of the British Army's actions
was intercepted in Lincoln but doing his bit
the man had lanterns as the plan
and arranged to have a signal lit
in the Charlestown Old North Church
with one if by land two if by sea
but in those long-gone days
as it was unknown technology
right then and there
it was quite unlikely to see
three if by air
some say vestryman Pulling and sexton Newman
(not a deacon)
as the midnight rider never made it all the way
were the real heroes of the day in fact quite a beacon
By George P. Lumayag
A patriot digs and builds a castle underground like an ant.
A patriot reserves much food underground like an ant.
A patriot reads the minds of miners to protect the queen's castles.
A patriot poetically motivates the people to build a web of castles
to protect themselves from the fires of the dragons.
If the patriots do things right like ants,
they will be safe in the future.
Through day or night
I'll do what's right
And stand for what is just
I vow this sacred trust
For liberty
And all that's free
I'll fight on if I must
Till my bones are in the dust
We need a leader,
Patriot, not just any
Tom, Vic, and Harry.
A laughingstock of history …
America right now
Fifty years of turning left
leading further down
Words alone can’t fix it
so little time remains
Freedom anything but free
—with liberty in flames
(The New Room: December, 2023)
The year is ending by leaving us sad;
For all those who left us in our journey;
So let’s pray for their souls we can be glad;
Having left us, are under God’s mercy.
Those who are in this world may they live long;
prayers ever irrational answered;
Smiles, happiness, prosperity among
Other boons granted are, forever, yearned.
Let us prepare to welcome the new year;
With sincere thoughts first and actions honest;
Be eager to spread good news, do not hear
Or fuel rumours at others’ behest.
These are the signs of a patriot true;
Avoid anger if you cannot construe.

'Sell out your country' is what they said,
As water kept dripping on his head.
Two days had passed since he went to bed.
'Sell out your country' is what they said.
Three days passed since he had been fed.
Denial of his Rights had not been read.
'Sell out your country' is what they said,
As water kept dripping on his head.
This many guys dislike its mention
Including an owner of mansion,
From avowed lover walking away
And next time block his coming their way…
For even the steadfast tax payer
Regular payment not his prayer;
One could swear there’s no Tax Payer Max
Who wouldn’t want the rules to relax!
As often as not tax evasion,
To depletion of wealth aversion...
What makes a citizen a patriot,
Long prattles about it like parrot;
‘Very proud’ the delivering voice
Though doubtful over it would rejoice…
In US a political risk,
Your rival handling the matter brisk
In Nigeria treated like God’s tithe,
Easily, payers like struck snakes writhe…
Tax payment states its own energy
“Mass non-payment nation’s elegy.”
Ade is a Nigerian patriot
But permanent in US’ Detroit,
There, charming Nigerian Flag hoisted,
Bared schemes upon him foisted…
Ade, The Rare Nigerian Patriot,
Scarcely planning to leave Sweet Detroit,
Shall unfailingly shoot all of them,
Giving his Giant. causeless problem:
Politicians who might risk Rigging
He’d begun their graves a-digging:
For them the cheapest US caskets,
A little costlier than Mum’s baskets;
Never to stubborn pressures relax
On compatriots evading Paid Tax…
To keep performing civic duties,
From where he had kept quaffing fruities.
Load your musket, patriot
Get out onto the street
Taste the blood that scars your land
Leave their bodies at your feet
They destroyed your home with violence
Robbed your children of their lore
Your leaders nothing but mere fools
As they glorify each whore
And now their minions quash your fate
Erase your culture with their hate
Left you naked to abdicate
So, lead the fight to free this land
From the heinous jackal's greed-stained hand
Stand together as before
To slay these devils and their corps
