Some Say The Politicians Are all the same
Six of one , half a dozen of the next.
All controlled by the hierarchy, the illuminati.
I feel they have a point to some extent.
But still I beg to disagree.
For Some have more bad mind that others,
Some are more lie, more dangerous, more corrupt, more selfish.
Some are more tief. Some are like Gangrene.
Some are Evil Himself Satan incarnate. Soo Soo Devious.
While some make an effort, some do try.
Some will ignore the poor more.
We still should be willing to make a choice.
I just do not and cannot agree with the skeptics who claim
The System will never change.
Refuse to accept such a defeatist mentality.
"Half-truth and lie; six of one, half a dozen of the other. How about the whole truth?" - quote by poet.
I live and breathe my truths
as much as I speak them; I believe...
what I believe and I stubbornly stick to my convictions.
I believe Jesus Christ, my savior, died for my sins.
I lack patience for disingenuous folks.
What you give, you get back in the end, two-fold.
I express myself freely without fear of scorn or criticism.
I'm a coconut...tough exterior, soft on inside; gentle giant.
I'm moved by sincerity and thoughtfulness in people.
I applaud courage, selflessness and humility.
Quasi-masochistic, i'm unsatisfied until I've bled to achieve an end.
One of the greatest things I've ever done; serving America.
Fatherhood has turned me into mush.
My most salient characteristic is my inner humanity.
I'm sure most of you
are much too modest to consider
yourselves "heroes," but that's exactly
what you guys are, heroes.
Thank you for all you do
every single day. You're intrepid soldiers
of war, not fought on distant lands,
in an actual battlefield, but in hospitals.
It doesn't make you any less heroic
than American soldiers that do, however.
You nurses and doctors fight to save lives
of COVID-19 victims day-in, day-out
Six of one half a dozen of the other!
Thank you for storming into the trenches
risking your lives fighting such an insidious,
unseen enemy every day.
You put other people's lives ahead
of your own, and your bravery and hard work
are not lost on anyone. America is infinitely
grateful for your tremendous sacrifice.
You deserve all the glory and encomiums
coming your way! Thank you for being
the life-saving heroes that you are.
Keep up the good work!

Six of one,
half dozen of the other
Which do you want
my bartering brother?
Make a wise tribal decision,
as to who will be
your soulmate lover
Let not the dowry
color blind your veil vision
One is very, very pretty,
the other is so doubly cute
Is your 20/20 desire
on a splitting Adam/Eve pursuit?
So be spiritually
doppelgänger discrete
This double blessing offer,
I won’t marital repeat
One is very, very pretty,
the other is so doubly cute
Whom would you wish to see
in the nuptial mirror —
Standing next to
your Zulu bridegroom suit?
Boring lackluster monologue
How my skin crawls
When I hear platitudes and...
Six of one and half a dozen of the other
Does take the prize
For the ultimate superlative
Epitome of all redundancies and platitudes
Making my head silently implode
Trying not to draw attention
To how annoyed I become
Hoping the source of my vexation
Will one day fall into oblivion
Really makes me laugh though
Some day I could easily see myself
Become teary eyed with nostalgia
Thinking about my beloved late husband
And how he used to love
Using that most endearing phrase
And how I loved him so
