Morality

At the altar of circumstance 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

The collateral damage of loneliness

A tariff on the feelings we export

On what principle of this debt do we offend?

On what vice do we subjugate or report?

It’s one thing to know

That you are aware

It’s another thing to not know

As you silently stare

If we negotiate our values

To numb what we feel

What price will we pay?

At the altar of circumstance when we kneel?

“Eleanor Rigby

Died in a church and was buried alone with her name

Nobody came

Father McKenzie

Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave

No one was saved “

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I’m not sure just where I am heading

But I am certain I know where I’ve been

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail

To know where and when I begin

Mama told me yeah she told me

About Sunday school and sin

Sometimes it’s best to know how to lose

Before you think you know how to win

Can’t say I’ve always done the right thing

But I can say I know I have tried

Better to be honest and truthful

Then to lie when you confide

I don’t expect much from the world anymore

But I do expect more from me

I believe in self sacrifice

But I also believe in reciprocity

Only takes two shakes of a Lamb‘s tail

My mama used to say to me

But now I am on my own

And I will see what I will see

I believe in having a strong moral character

One to navigate the moral tide

Without such a compass

the soul is likely to hide

The sum of all tears 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

The sum of all tears

Fake outrage manufactured political speech

Fake news propaganda outlets

All legacy media compromised and paid for what they teach

Those who cry the loudest have the most to fear

USAID money finds its way back home

In the pockets of politicians

DOGE exposes a money laundering criminal syndicate that is proven and shown

Human trafficking

Never seen at such a degree 

Facilitated by an administration

That on the world stage would always take a knee

The word “democracy” never shows up in the constitution

A representative republic was designed to be adversarial 

Governance must be forged in debate and be reasonable

The socialist among us

Will always say

“we’re a threat to democracy”

If things don’t go their way

America still a great but troubled country

Has much more work to do

Expose the criminals and the deep state

Only we the people have control with also a thanks to the Patriots and Q

Follow the money

See where it goes

Fraud vitiates everything

The military tribunals will depose 

Presidential pardons won’t matter

Treason and crimes against humanity

Fraud vitiates everything

The world is about to see

Betrayer or betrayed

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Betrayer or betrayed

You be the judge

When you put your faith in someone

you placed them in your trust

Do their words match their actions?

I suggest this should be a must

In your communications

I see what you say and what you do

I can read between the lines

Between little action and words that are so few

Some people may never know

The actual statements that have misled

They seldom stop to reflect

Upon the lies that they have fed

Time will tell us a story

We must not be quick to judge

How often have we been wrong?

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

It’s very hard to live up to the standard

We ourselves have been in fault

To learn these lessons

Do not hide them away in a vault

Transparency is a prerequisite

For the ones we most care about

We must live by what we believe

Or we will always be in doubt

Loyalty and dedication

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Loyalty, and dedication

Go hand and hand

An emotional bond

That marks where we stand

Many people are tribal in nature

They affiliate over a shared ideal 

Easier to express yourself

Easier to tell how you feel

It goes without saying

The degree of the bond depends  on the quality of the trust

Consider the sentiment

“California or bust”

Loyalty has conditions

Dedication requires reciprocity

The division of labor

Must be split equally

Plant a seed

Watch it grow

The more care you give

What you reap is what you sow

Relationships  are no different

The investments we make

are nurtured with care

We must earn before we can take

Five simple rules 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Denzel says you must first learn

Then you earn

and then you return

Which means you develop the self: the body, the mind and the spirit

Then you face the world; an agency in the community

What will you bring to the table?

What will be your ingenuity?

For the body I must have discipline and dedication

For the spirit, I must have devotion

For the mind, I must have determination

And for society, I must have diplomacy

Five simple rules

Discipline, dedication, devotion, diplomacy and determination 

This pilgrimage I take

With reciprocity and association

the quest for knowledge

The quest for peace

Materialism never wins

As the body will one day cease

Time is our currency

In the ever presence of mind

We live only in the here and now

Forever, are we bound in time?

The many ways we lie

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Confabulation, miscalculation

In deceit we deceive

In the confidence man’s scheme

If gullible we believe

Distraction, retraction, hyperbole, guile

Dishonesty, distortion, evasion in exile

Falsehood, fiction, falsify, fib

Fraudulence, forgery, fabrication, fake

Just how many lies in this life will we make?

The many ways we lie

Countless exchanges

How many of us?

Should make some changes?

We are agents of our destiny

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Dealing with adversity

We have to play our hand

When do we fold?

When will we make a stand?

The development of our character

Is not readily given

It is forged through our trials

And for those who do not readily give in

Most parents want what is best for their children

Just how will they prepare?

What behaviors will they model?

Which stories will they share?

For events we cannot control

It may be time for a prayer

I’ve never loved anything more deeply

Than my children who are all now grown

I can only pray they remain safe

As I reach out now over the telephone

We are agents of our destiny

Do we manifest what is returned?

And if this is true

Than what have we earned?

Look at the path you are on

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

How do you measure?

The worth of a man?

The virtues?

The vices?

Declare them if you can

Only the character

How they behave

What they did?

What they forgave?

Start with a conversation

That you have with your reflection

Look at the path you are on

Does if require course correction?

This Temptress a Juggernaut

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

If you don’t have respect

What have you got?

If you don’t have character

Why do you hold what is naught?

Did you ever learn to sacrifice?

Is it something that you ought?

Have you thought only of yourself?

Is that something you were taught?

There are countless opportunities

We dismiss yet still we fraught

Even the most obtuse

In moral decay they are caught

Ignorance is your master

This temptress a juggernaut
