 Compatible

 

Everyone has an opinion

Our freedom of speech

First Amendment Right

Not a social breach.

 

Is your opinion any better

Or, any worse than mine?

We’re entitled 

Why do we still whine?

 

Listen, to what you say

Then, listen to others.

Let’s be compatible

With our sisters and brothers.

Which way shall I take the course to my reader’s hearts,
What scale and tools do I collect with,
What voyeur’s wrap I claim in readiness.
Are the ages of my father come to bear,
Or will be for next generation’s benefit:
And for sure hope luck to smile a lot,
Unless I weaken in devotion,
That I harbor this pretext,
Where course is subject to a wanton age.
Gather, flock with us; examine all to beyond:
Valiant person have surpassed our time.

Dear Deb,

What a wonderful array of thoughts. I like what you have to say.
I wish it were that simple and it could really be that way.
But folks want to take away our rights to be kind, loving and free.
Then replace them with demonic views forced upon to you and me.
It's OK to curse, smoke dope, use witchcraft and sex in full view.
But for us to stand up for simple Christan values today is taboo!
They act upset when kids get killed and are placed in an early tomb.
But killing kids is OK with them when it's done inside of the womb.
They even want to erase "Choose Life" from all the signs on display.
Then because of their bad choices, we are the ones who have to pay.
I rest my case.

Merry Christmas Deborah!

John Michael
