History is the teacher Or should be Comet like-pointing fingers Unfortunately, things come to pass BOTH GOOD & BAD Fault everyone else except the EVIL DOER Fear is our escape, our blindness, OUR KEEPER Truth needs to grow a set Finding fault will never do it Unless fault finds the guilty Statistics differ from political correctness Hypocrisy believes itself? We “are” an entire group of people Are we not? Mature thinking adults Yet our childlike eyes close When it doesn’t affect us Neighbors…friends? Community? Leaving this home a better place Spring cleaning is way overdue Anglo-Dutch keeps screaming “This is my post” “This is my post”! Wonder if he saw Dances with Wolves? Yup, we videoed a dying man Finding it merely disturbing, oh how trite? Commission studies….you say? Isn’t it about time to clean house! Kick-start the gas pumps Use decisive force on our children Give criminals consequences for their actions Life is not about offending your neighbors Is Murder not an offense? Does it really matter who is right? When the grim reaper takes his tally? Can’t we learn to do without? When our children are raised by a nanny Who doesn’t give a darn about… Morals, Manners or Behavior Old fat politicians are always more knowledgeable Sending all of youth to war Waving the shroud possess a high turn out For all those who still believed I thought it against the law to kill, to murder to rape? Raping a nation of its dignity, isn’t that the same? Yes, we need a leader who will fight terrorism Regardless of reasons Murder becomes a fast food, we’re desensitized Alternative fuel becomes the pen Which we all will live in? And closing your eyes… Until it finds you, hoping it won’t Will eventually suffer its own guilt History should be the teacher? Soon we won’t have to ask anymore Where have all the flowers gone? |

Long Time Passing....Gone to graveyards every one?...This is stronger than an acre of Garlic gal....If we don't learn from history, there's no future history.... |
