The everyday man and woman 
The salt of the earth
The only question
Do you know your worth?
Even a pillar of the community
Will stumble and lose their way
Just look to our political debates
So many have gone astray
Do not feign virtue
It cannot be given or sold
It must be earned
Not only shown in the church, but also out on the street in the cold
Tribal community can be fickle
Many abundant colloquialisms found
Not rooted in truth
The loss of integrity abound

No matter the disability
The people must navigate, the people must learn
Just how to negotiate
Their diminishing return
If you don’t get caught up in the bitterness
You are more receptive to appreciate
The disabled humbled by limitation
To bargain with reality is to conciliate
The experience of loss
A universal trait
How we reconcile
Determines our fate
A tripartite mind
Plato‘s charioteer
The inertia forces
We commandeer
How we experience the world
Applies to how we observe
Just ask Siddhartha Gautama
What the eightfold path would serve

Imagine
The human condition
Our ideas shape our reality
More than you know
Dreamers like John Lennon also think so
The mind will often validate
What it expects to see
A posteriori or a Priori?
Which Kantian epistemology?
The philosophical mechanisms we argue
In the name of humanity
Or is all we need just
Philosophical sobriety?
What happened to common sense?
Dreamer or dictator, utopian, or realist
What will we ponder?
What will be missed?
We are but flawed creatures
Just how shall we choose?
Do we wake up?
Or do we just snooze?
Blood has been spilt on the battlefield
Blood has been spilt on the cross
The war for the soul continues on
Just when will the battle be won or lost?
Men have tried to reason
Throughout all of history
But is the ultimate question that is asked
Only in theology?

Eric Swalwell had a honey pot
So did Winnie the Pooh
I don’t know yet who is on the Epstein client list
But you’d probably suspect Tigger too
Thousands of pages withheld by the New York FBI
When will Pam and Kash release the files?
We will soon know why
This document dump declass
Will expose how deep the rabbit hole goes
Linked by many conspiracies together
All the way back to Director Comey the evidence shows
Follow the money
The daily DOGE
Follow the politicians
See the pop-up NGO’s
The criminal politicians
Sneak payments to their families
The public servant millionaires
Prove all of these conspiracies

My father once told me
“All you do is work and then you die“
He did not teach me about love
I don’t know the reason why
I grew up in a modest family
With little money and little love
I educated myself
And prayed to the Lord above
I write about what I think
I write about what I feel
Like a John-Boy Walton
The ethical onion skin is what I peel
The layers I shed before you
My readers will attest
The poems that resonate the most
Are the poems that are the best
This blogs tagline
“Reaching out to the world, one post at a time“
Has something for everyone
If you look, then you will find
The threads of our humanity
Interwoven and intertwined
We share the same biology
We are connected if we are aligned

the ego must surrender
Before we can truly appreciate
The blessings that come before us
And the receptivity we communicate
The arguments we make
The scripts in our head
May often mislead us
From where we should be led
Most comedians will know
Humor that self-depreciates
Is widely accepted
They bypass any defense mechanism the audience would contemplate
Genuine gratitude
Is not the same as a gratuity paid
Much easier to transact a custom
Then transact an authentic feeling made
I wonder about the people
Impoverished emotionally
Alienated from humanity
Oh, what a travesty

Heartache is strong motivation
I’m sure I can also say
The same relation goes with faulty expectation
It’s hard not to see it any other way 
What we learn that is if we learn
Is defined after the fact
The most memorable lessons
Are usually predicated: pain-packed
Pay attention
Take a hard look
Don’t repeat the mistake
Otherwise, it will become mistook
I need a connection
One in reality
“I am that I am“
Versus another chapter of metaphysics or epistemology
I need a connection
A covenant with honesty
One where I can dust off myself
When I trip over my stupidity
Emotional bruises
Last as long as we give them power
Take away the sun and Rain 
You take away the flower
On the other hand
In the process of struggle and growth, there is beauty
The Joseph Campbell heroes story
The 12 steps of the journey

I’d like to think
I have value in my thought
But you must always recalibrate
The voices of opposition and the criticism that is brought
Not everyone is right
Not everyone is wrong
You must choose, which points are weak
And which points are strong
The pendulum swings
Hence the debate
Will judgment be early? 
Will forgiveness be late?
We are the arbiters  of atonement
Just how will we rectify?
When will we smile?
When will we cry?

Homogeny is broken
No longer an American Dream
Infiltration breeds invasion
Borderless society the endgame that was foreseen
The patriots versus a well funded and coordinated invasion
Those who will not asymalate
Who will be the victors?
What will be our fate?
We are now in transition
A broken country in disarray
The American people are finding out about NGO‘s 
Just who is responsible, who will go and who will stay?
The time for full transparency is on us
Full disclosure is coming soon
I wonder what the American people will think?
The criminals just like the castaways of Gilligans Island will surely head for theLagoon

Compare your social inventory?
Show off your new Nikes in school?
If you have to brag about anything
Then who really is the fool?
Clothes, houses
Education, careers
No matter how much you compare
What’s at the root of your fears?
Music, politics, cultural debate
How do we live in Harmony?
Only those with peace of mind can relate
Don’t be stuck in comparison
If you really want to keep score 
Then always try to do better
From the time you did before
