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?

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?

When you lie to the people
The public trust now in debate
The more you lie
The more we investigate
Some people will follow
Some people will lead
How will you decide?
On what you will believe?
If you can’t trust what they say
See how they act and see what they do
With every additional lie
You hold the burden for what is true
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me
Develop a better judgement
To determine what you see

What is possible May not be probable
What May feel good May not be good
Not all is what it seems
As this should be understood
Your wisdom in life
Will be tested many times
What are the rules you live by?
What was the punishment for the crimes?
Adopt or learn a moral ethic
Something tried, tested, and true
Live by this code that you stand for
Make everyone know this is you
This task will not be easy
Mistakes will be made along the way
There is a reason we have forgiveness
The opportunity to make good on another day
You will not be forsaken
The losses will be fewer than the gain
Do not be fooled by the rhetoric
Much of which is in vain

When you vocalize your intention
People may also see
What behaviors you bring to the table
Just indeed how do you plea?
The pure of heart live by this etiquette
Aligning intention with action for there to be
An honorable connection
I think you would agree

It’s funny when you remember
Mistakes that you have made
Moments with your past loved ones
As time moves on they usually fade
But sometimes in a dream
The mind will reflect
Reviewing the old memories
You now seem to neglect
Awaking to what is here and now
Can benefit you greatly
Being mindful in the present
We can extinguish “What have you done for me lately?”

I embrace the joy
When I see the things line up in place
Time spent together
Sharing the world as I look upon your face
Knowing there is no expectation
Knowing only these feelings that stand
Part of the uncertainty
Is built into the hand
I don’t rely on criticisms
They only detract from the moment
One can spend a lifetime
To that which is unspoken
That which is meaningful
Is better when it is said
Never leave the heart unopened
Never leave it only in your head
Life is too precious
Rejoice in what life can offer
Too many of us never act
We leave it in an unused coffer

The way you approach the world
It’s clear you have no respect
What you fail to investigate
Promulgates the ignorance on why you reject
A view through the lens of Marxist ideology
A world of chaos is what you see
In the arrogance of political dogma
You egregiously make your pleas
What is most disconcerting
You imitate what you hate
Though you do not recognize this
The irony of your fate
So much easier to lecture others
Adopting the indoctrination you accept as true
So little did you think about the implications
The reality that you live in and view
“If I were a tiger
I’d bite peoples’ heads off”
You told me this as a child
But now you just scoff
So easy to jump to conclusions
Faulty logic is close at hand
For someone who holds themself in high regard
I hold this behavior in remand
Why do you dismiss
What you don’t understand?
Chalk it up to your influences
Utopian as wonderland
…

Can our reasoning be corrupt?
Can we hold politicians accountable?
Only if we can interrupt?
An entitlement class
The collective Socialist dream
Producers in a society produce
While those who only take is a right that they deem
The inflated ego
Exempt themselves from the law
Self interest the temptation
They manifest their own moral downfall
The accolades of celebrity
The seduction of mass delusion
The “no fault of mine” bubble
Is the result of their conclusion

Dark secrets of a family
Never willing to share
Bitter old man reminisces
Beholden to pride he doesn’t seem to care
The trait of a family
That never relinquishes the pain
Spawns a generation
Only understood by the arcane
Transactions of a lifetime
Tallied up on the abacus of circumstance
Modeled for a pedigree
A dominion over chance
The rebellious will break the cycle
That runs along family lines
Rejecting all of their disputes
That you may often see no direct signs
The residuum of our consequence
Is up for us to see
How we shall play this game
As we must also referee
