Thought I'd write something political for a change.

George H. W. Bush During His 1989 Inaugural Address



Stay the Course



Stay the course, of course, of course,

preserve the American dream.

A thousand points of light will do it,

at least that's what it might seem.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

killed the evil Saddam regime.

So a million Iraqis will pay the price,

for this ill-conceived scheme.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

on the trail of Osama bin Laden's dream.

While watching Al Qaeda grow in strength,

Middle East Muslims turning more mean.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

while Muslim cults grew ever more bold.

It took a president with a Muslim name,

to kill bin Laden as clones took hold.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

when Russian Afghan fight grew cold.

Giving the Taliban more to reject,

the morality of Western gold.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

starve the Ayatollah's evil plan,

to make Iran great again,

into a moral, conservative land.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

support the Israelis moneyed scheme,

to claim the promised land of yore,

build walls to the unattainable dream.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

watch ISIS and the Syrian doctor's genocide,

conduct historical alteration with impunity,

vigorously promoting eventual self suicide.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

As Qaddafi met his eventual fate.

Watching Palestinians lose all hope,

slaves to the keepers of their land's gate.


Stay the course, of course, of course,

and cater to the evil Saudi oil regime.

While watching the Middle Eastern powder keg,

eventually eradicate any westernization dream.

This must be one of your finest poems. I love its cadence and the message it holds. Yes, one of your finest.

The Middle East has been on power keg for years! I pray for the leaders and that they will seek and pursue peace, any fool can start a war: very interesting write Ron!

Wow! Ron, you've penned a treatise of monumental importance here in a succinct write with truth always hammering us after a reminder in every stanza that there is an opposite to truth. Well done. Well done.

I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING OF COURSE, OF COURSE...SOME THINGS WORK OUT AS PLANNED AND FOR THE BEST, AND SOME THINGS DON'T. AND IN THE GAME OF POLITICS, INDEED, ONE NEVER KNOWS. FOR, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE/COUNTRIES TO 'PLEASE' IN ORDER TO 'KEEP THE PEACEFUL ALLIANCES' ON THE HOME FRONT. BUT ALL IN ALL...I AGREE WITH THE QUOTE; ONE MUST HAVE FAITH AND 'STAY THE COURSE'. FOR A WAVERING/DOUBLE MIND SET, AND MAY I ADD... PATH, IS LIKE A SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER, AND MAY I ADD...A CAPTAIN. ENJOYED, WELL DONE AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

A well structured portrait of the Middle Eastern problems that haunt us all over the world. This is one of Ronald Hull's best.

The words flow... The meaning flows... The lessen in history flows... As a Jew, though, though I am not one to pray, I pray for Israel

Love the rhythm of this poem. A simpliation of history but one that might appeal to today's youth. Reminds me of cliff notes that many students read rather then a real history book. Though it was hard to find an uncensored History book that even back in the 60's. It was from the mouths of older men I met on the road that gave light to a mad Hippie & History buff. All in all this is a well written piece of poetry from a poet & writer who is growing into his art.

This is a political treatise that deals with the China issue from a completely new perspective. Disparaging as he may sound, from page to page, toward "the old system" and the Communist Party's various wiles, the author demonstrates his mysteriously
