This might very well come as a shock:
Life is not fair, and many don’t care.
Persist on living under a rock.
Some cringe-worthy experiences
tend to pester if left to fester.
Adhere to law of invariance.
We elect to look the other way.
Challenged with facts and religious tracts,
while the zealots persistently bray.
Turn that rock over for scrutiny,
brought into light as a thing of fright.
Declare your very own mutiny.
Set prejudices aside; take honest stock.
Take a stand against ignorance, if you dare!
Take heed, poet friends, you too, may be taken from your house.
Your money, your children, your lives maybe by our current
government be sought.
Oh, those chilling words, “Your children are ours”
You must fight….your lives nor theirs, cannot be bought”
This is time to awake, fight back now, you are not the
Federal government’s mouse!
Control and fear, these are their narratives, carried by fake
news.
A new viral disease is always en route!
Vaccines administered by sources.
Commanded by elected, killer ,jackboots!
The American flag, unbelievably, gets little or
no respect.
We are being neutered, too and killing the unborn
is out right?
Of course, since so many lost their souls, they chant,
murder for those who cannot fight!
This poetess prays for us all, that none of our lives
be taken.
And that God sees that no country, under His care,
be ever forsaken.

When you know the facts and evidence,
You are able to balance on top of a fence
The best is to speak the truth unspoken
Take a stand to prevent all from being broken
Stand your ground, as your life depends on it
No-one will do it all for you, when you only sit
Life is a gift, to embrace and open day to day
Enjoy, spread credence with all you have to say
Stand your ground today, before it’s too late
For it can save another, and determine your fate

Always take a stand
Continue to rise through the air
Embrace life always
And show that you care
Situations may not always seem favorable
But, you have to keep going
Never ever give up hope
As those breezes vigorously continue blowing
Wind blown thoughts chilled
served raw on a distant plate
sorrow a home cooked meal
and loss was all one could feel
Injured souls sacrificed
for the good of the whole
tagged and bagged
through muck hearts dragged
Dreams of a slow kiss on a Saturday
on top the hill watching God's picture show
boys turn to men with sounds of a gun
life or death no chance to turn and run
Even today as grey clouds rumble close
engrained in more than just a memory
a love for your country and fellow man
child are you brave enough to take a stand
hate and anger
destroying us all
will you stand against it?
Sitting alone in the corner of your room.
there's not much to do.
Always wanting to be alone
Socially awkward heavy like a stone
Too stupid for an education
People always bossing you around.
Forcing you to take your medication
Always being putdown
Bit it's time to breath
Open your eyes to see
People try to see who I am but I guess it's
time to take a stand, or for you, not for me
but for all those who cannot see.
They're consider blind as bats but when
they see with their hearts it's not as bad
Listen to the music feel the beats,
learn to sing with your feet. sing for those
who cannot speak.
we'll talk with our open minds, and show
them all how to shine.
Reaching out for a helping hand,
Come on baby,let's take a stand.
I’m ready to take a stand under clear skies and over green fields
You will come with your army of a thousand
Ill come with my army of one
Anger and hatred leeks from your mouth like venom fire
Infecting the minds of thoughts unaware of the snake bite
But I’m the snake catcher
Ill grab you all by the head
And one by one milk the venom from your fangs till their only use is for showbiz
A massacre
Massacre thousands on green fields stand velvet red with the blood of small minded hate spiting racist pig heads
So bring your guns
Bring your knifes
Bombs
And bring your children
To witness the truth
I’m bullet proof
My legend the really arm that be the demise of your brain
Yet the light that fills your children’s eyes
When you stand up
And ask forgiveness
Just so you can win
How do you expect
Me to feel within
When I sit up
And take a stand
In what I believe in
You stare at me
You try to figure out
How you can win this game
Just so you can do it again
How can I take your side
When you don't wonder
How I've been feeling within.
As I stand up to walk away
You confront me with your
Frivolous lying words
You leave me dumbstruck
I don't know where to turn.
I stand there with tears streaming
As I turn to walk away from you
I pack my clothes to leave this place
I just wanna take that plane to where I began
As you beg me not to go from you
I stare back at you and feel lost
Though I'm just looking through you
All I know is I just wanna get away
Just so I can feel safe within.
Our country needs to
get back to a God fearing
Nation again.
We need to please Him
and not all the special
groups nor the rich or
poor.
We as the Bible says
need to please God
and not man.
This wonderful country
was founded on the
principles of the Bible.
Some where through
the ages, we have drifted
away from God,
we need to base
our laws on His laws,
not man's.
Time is running out
God has watched over
this great nation for
over 200 years,
but like He has turned His
back on Israel at
times in the past,
He will soon do the
same to us,
we need people
to take a stand,
and soon.
