Premium Member Lincoln Please Say
Lincoln, your honesty gave you a name
Death surrounded you in all kinds of ways
Civil War gave you the worst kind of fame.
Wonder if you ever had any good days?...

Riverview Park
Riverview Park 
	
Long ago along a winding river in the city of big shoulders
There stood a place a magical kingdom 
Once on a summer night when I was young I went there 
I met Abraham Lincoln and Santa Claus and rode upon a rocket ship
I’m quite sure that It was all real, but they tell me it is no more...

Power With Influence
Power With Influence

Give a man much power and influence,
And with their character see congruence;
Crusty complex inferior;
Wishing was superior;
Things will become terse as well as tense.

Think Abraham Lincoln said something
similar to this. Today is anniversary of
the Darnell, Arizona Granite Mountain 
Hotshots....

Premium Member A Thankful Turkey
Written by Gail DeBole

When a turkey, who yearly escapes
From his owner's Thanksgiving plate,
Was asked to reveal
Why he's never a meal
He said, "That much of a turkey I ain't!"



Note: Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of each November in the United States.  President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed this as an official holiday in 1863....

Heat
Pretty, peach face, lovebird, parrot
avian melody sings.

Hoping to call a mate over for carrots
and dance love on their wings.

Busily preparing a proper nest
for the fruition of the mating call.

I have decided to make this my motto, I will keep trying till I get it right!

Premium Member It's Not the Years In Your Life, It's the Life In Your Years
Don’t waste your life with regretful tears. 
“It’s not the years in your life, 
It’s the life in your years”
Abraham Lincoln spoke these words,
Some of the wisest I’ve ever heard.

By these wise words I work or I play.
This day is as precious as one to come
And the longest has but a very brief stay.
Each is a part of the total sum
And much too important to fritter away....

The Future
Abraham Lincoln once said 
The best way 
To predict 
The future
Is to 
Create it.
He also said
That if he had six hours 
To hew a tree
He would spend four hours
Honing the axe
And two hours
To cut the tree.
The World is spending  
Vast amounts of time 
Effort and money
Honing the dagger.
What beast 
Does the world
Want to slay?
What future does the World
Want to create?...

Honest Abe
Abraham Lincoln
      A secular person who stood against the elite and ended slavery
            A Prolific President and brand ambassador of bravery
                     One Man Army and Alpha Bravo Charlie
  An example of honesty for dishonest democrats and those who lie
                         We don't give and we don't serve
                Hell deserves us and hell is what we deserve....

the American Civil War
Thousands of white people

To stop Slavery 
fighting to make a better world
black live's matter

Slavery had been around
for thousands of year's
all cultures all colours had slave's
people woke up

people turned against abuse
people turned against slavery
we should be proud of people
both white and black...

Palmistry
If you have an X on your hand’s palm
It means you have leadership in your charm
And it seems only 3 percent of people have it
And so if you do your leadership abilities will fit

Abraham Lincoln and Alexander the Great had this sign
It shows that there may be some truth to this line
But in contemplation and the worry of it all 
Is that Putin of Russia has this sign in mind.

The Last Full Measure
Abraham Lincoln called it The Last Full Measure
When your life is given with no thought for yourself whatsoever 
Whether it be in war or an emergency so grave
That others run away and it’s left to the brave

Their friends and colleagues remember them
And what they did for others in their end
So as flags at half mast flutter in the breeze
They sleep in silence and we take a knee.

What We Must Do
I have heard it said
that poetry will outlast all the politicians
Well  - this is one poet who follows the political scene
There have been politicians who wrote poems 
Abraham Lincoln and Eugene McCarthy come to mind
I think poetry can change one's thinking 
if you let it into your soul
The poetry in the Jewish prayer book 
and the poetry of Bob Dylan 
have influenced my thiniking
I will vote this September 
Isn't that what they died for?...

Premium Member Time, Use It Wisely
Time, Use It Wisely Written: by Miracle Man 11-21-2019 Time, I’ve found, is unforgiving, It cannot be bartered or given away. It’s consumed each day while living, And can’t be added to a future day. I’ve said “if only I could find more time,” While searching throughout my day. I saw time flee with each clock chime, Finding more time was just a clich’e. “nothing valuable can be lost by taking time” Abraham Lincoln
