“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

How to Watch the News
^^*Deep State Dreamer*^^
I have NO CONFIDENCE is the Deep State. Deep Staters gain no rewards from doing the right thing, only from doing the "expedient" thing.
DON'T watch the news. It nothing but an ENEMY PROPAGANDA MACHINE spewing MIND POISON, SEDITION, and INTELLECTUAL CANCER.
Our "best" UNIVIERSITIES are the SECOND most powerful ENEMY. They are largely staffed with anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE, CRYPTO-COMMUNISTS ––– evil EVIL people.
Because of these rotten influences, We the People are EATING OURSELVES ALIVE.
"The News" is THE most powerful ENEMY we have ever had to face.
Our hope would be to take the roadblocks down No more to have to hide behind the walls Negativity built with a frown, Even though she smiles in gleaming halls Welcoming all with fawning falsity, Yet yearning all the while for something solid. Excitement dies in stuffy halls at tea, As hypocrisy makes discourse witless, stolid. Rarely may we speak without a filter. ‘Tis safer not, lest someone take offense. So, fearing to be thought bizarre –– off kilter –– Daft –– depraved –– or simply too intense –– A fear of ostracism serves P-C, Yielding a moribund society.
Toot the trumpets! Strike the strings and sing! On your feet! Step lively in the dance! Age and Youth alike are on the wing Going forward: Time moves like a lance Let loose by some celestial super strength Amidst the muck and mire of our dozing Driving us, reminding that life’s length Never gives us room for much reposing. Esurient? Appease the appetites Wholesome and pure. The body, gross and vile, Yields but sickly transient delights ~ Evoking ennui with a knowing smile. Awake! A blessed New Year is at hand! Resolve to love and give without demand!
___ To Lifelong Frends On Entering ___ _________Their Tenth Decade _________
Nifty! There’s a piece of antique slang. It well describes this most engaging couple. Not too many remain quite so supple Entering their nineties with a bang. They’ve stayed involved, and managed with great skill Year by year appearing calm –– serene –– Yet eager to share insights ever green –– Ever gently tough –– to resist ill. An apparent lack of empathy once grated –– Ruffled feathers always long for smoothing! Self-control, however, is more soothing Once easy sympathy proves overrated. Longings to be whole are satisfied in Denying rights to mar what we take pride in.

THESE DEAR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN FRIENDS. I FIRST MET THEM 70 YEARS AGO. THEY'VE ACTED ALL ALONG AS TEACHERS AND MENTORS. WITHOUT THEIR CONSTRUCTIVE INFLUENCE I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BECOME OF ME. HE PASSED ON THE AGE OF 94. SHE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CELEBRATING HER 96th in FEBRUARY. THOUGH NEVER FAMOUS I SEE THEM AS THE EMBODIMENT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO ACHIEVE TRUE SUCCESS IN THE ART OF LIVING.

O suspect it's no accident that NEWS rhymes with ABUSE.

Our hope would be to take the roadblocks down
No more to have to hide behind the walls
Negativity built with a frown,
Even though she smiles in gleaming halls
Welcoming all with fawning falsity,
Yet yearning all the while for something solid.
Excitement dies in stuffy halls at tea,
As hypocrisy makes discourse witless, stolid.
Rarely may we speak without a filter.
‘Tis safer not, lest someone take offense.
So, fearing to be thought bizarre –– off kilter ––
Daft –– depraved –– or simply too intense ––
A fear of ostracism serves P-C,
Yielding a moribund society.

A DRAM OF DISTILLED WISDOM
As you proceed you need to heed
This ancient adage droll:
Conservatives see the doughnut
While Leftists see only the hole!

_______ To a Glad New Year _______
Toot the trumpets! Strike the strings and sing!
On your feet! Step lively in the dance!
Age and Youth alike are on the wing
Going forward: Time moves like a lance
Let loose by some celestial super strength
Amidst the muck and mire of our dozing
Driving us, reminding that life’s length
Never gives us room for much reposing.
Esurient? Appease the appetites
Wholesome and pure. The body, gross and vile,
Yields but sickly transient delights ~
Evoking ennui with a knowing smile.
Awake! A blessed New Year is at hand!
Resolve to love and give without demand!
