Not all is what it seems

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

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

If the man in office

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

DemocRATS are morally bankrupt

To feign virtue is to stay in control

To prey upon the weak minded

Only division is what they extoll

There is no unifying doctrine

Only an anti-American creed

The culture war now upon us

To incite hatred is to mislead

To rule by ignorance

To rule by deception and greed

To shut down any dissent

Cancel culture is what you need

You must revise a new historical foundation

Tear down a venerated past

Create a false image to exploit

A problem-reaction-solution-forecast

A wall now around the capitol

But to a border-less country they will flee

The tsunami of migrants will travel

Change the demographic overnight and see

Change the voter laws before an election

Circumvent the legislature, continue the endless count

No restrictions and no accountability

In ballot failures and chaos we will mount

If the man in office

Is compromised by the CCP

He would sell out our country

The globalists would agree

Why don’t we find any common ground?

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

We look at each other

The differences are all we see

No reason to find common ground

In resistance you rarely agree

Our sources of information

Compromised beyond trust

Yet little do we realize

We are unwilling to adjust

We stop questioning our beliefs

We don’t put our reasoning to test

Much easier to criticize another point of view

Than to examine our own by request

If we distillate what we both value

Chances are we are likely to see

A vanishing objection of reason

And it is only in policy that which we disagree

A Fish out of Water

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

A fish out of water

I only want to belong

Ever since the childhood playground

I’ve sung this song

Introduced into the schools

You eventually swim along

Slowly learning to mingle within

From what you get wrong

With every age

We can learn and grow

Still a need to belong

Into what we forego

But there may come a time

When our values will exceed

These fundamental drives

This fundamental need

When looking back in reflection

Upon the skills I have acquired

I appreciate self reliance more

Than that need to belong that was once desired

We need to have a Conversation

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

We need to have a conversation

One that reduces our political doubt

It seems our reliance on any media bias’

Only drives our willingness to shout out

We must strip away the narrative commentary

Discuss the ideas’ logical construction

And dismiss all of the fallacies

By simple logical deduction

If we use any sources for reference

We should cite each source

Noting which ones we reject

And which ones we endorse

I tire of all of the rhetoric

The sophistry that we spew

Who here is not guilty?

Who here will admit there are very few?

We seem to be polarized

As evidenced by the social media rant

I wonder who will rise above the hyperbole?

I wonder about those who can’t

Have we lost our minds?

Trying to prove our political expertise

In truth it lies in the study of human behavior

And in the study of logic but with no guarantees

What is worst?

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Actions speak louder than words

We will all experience betrayal in life

But what is worst?

The betrayal itself we conspire

Or being in denial without our knowledge of it first?

Lack of objectivity?

Self-deception?

How can you hold yourself accountable?

With the flaws in self- perception?

What will be the muse that guides you?

What will be the ruse that divides you?

How will you navigate?

Set your compass in the sea?

Where do you fix the North Star?

Set the course in our humanity?

My Soul is not for Sale

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

My faith has been tested

My eyes have received confirmation

My soul is not for sale

My truth is my salvation

I take on my obstacles

I take them as they come

I learn from my mistakes

I modify my thinking to correctly plumb

Why do I fail?

Why is the question to ask

Why do I repeat?

Why is put to task

Clarify what is rubbish

Clarify the path I am on

Clarify what is good

Clarify what is wrong

Verify what is working

Simplify erroneous measures

Verify what is most important

Rectify misleading pleasures

Reflective is the Soul

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

We search the world

We often do not see what we need

What is right in front of us

Nourish the heart as it must feed

Distracted we run

Chasing the reinforcement we seek

Showing our weaknesses

Running with the meek

I’m finding my way

I sometimes have lost my vision

But I’m directed back to the path I call my own

In good association you can again make a good decision

In good company you can again ask what you truly want

Reflective is the soul that listens to their core

Centered and thoughtful

Just be careful what you ask for

Valentine’s Day

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I saw your picture today

You could be a million miles away

But I’d still feel you close

I know this sounds so cliché

You never cease to amaze

A heart that is generous

A heart of gold

You make it look so effortless

I wonder how this will unfold?

What’s a poor boy to do?

I want to tell

I want to show

Just how I fell

That last domino

There is something

I only know

I ask for your company

Because that’s when I glow

I ask for your permission

For me to participate

Showing you the difference

In your life that I can make

It’s really not that silly

Sometimes we connect on wavelengths

Others do not notice

Others do not appreciate

In this case I recognize

I think It’s fair to say

A healing is among us

For me everyday is Valentine’s Day
