Poem Artwork

In politics, as on the sickbed, people toss from side to side, thinking they will be more comfortable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Left Side Overload

Which is better, which is worse?
Is instant knowledge society's curse?
The NEED to know, our every move...
Will cause some souls to disapprove!!!
Abnormal times, abhorrent crimes,
Have soiled our flag with hateful grime


So now we must adjust to change
Even though it might feel strange
We love our freedom and our rights
But must be flexible in this fight

Whatever it takes to move this along
Can only help our cause grow strong
And as the winds of our lives shift
Our love of Nation will never drift

On coins it says, "In God We Trust"
We're flexible, and can adjust
So as times change, and things get "tight"
Lets take the "LEFT" and make it "RIGHT"

I really hope they are home soon. My daughter's fiance is due to go out soon. You and your son are in my thoughts, as always. This is such a wise poem.

A beautiful poem, written with passion. One thing. I also wish and hope and pray that our soldiers are safe and can come home soon. I also wish that our enemies be destroyed. The infancy of World War III is upon us, we cannot stick our heads in the sand and wish for peace. That is not realistic. Doesn't anybody recall what happened to America on September 11? We have devious enemies who are bent on our destruction.

My fondest wish is that every soldier returns home safely...and that the loved ones of those who did not receive the healing and peace that only God and time can give them.
