Month: November 2022

Another day of history, today
Of victory within the DOJ
Who won a very difficult conviction
Against those charged with criminal sedition

01 06 21,  that was the date
The Capital was stormed, a pre-planned fate
Oath Keepers tried to alter the election
They, now, will face long years of jail correction

The verdicts in this case have implications
Well beyond the Keeper’s situation
It labels what took place not as a riot
But as a deep, premeditated plot

To overthrow by force democracy
To whit sedition, a conspiracy
It also signals those who would conspire
Sedition, consequences very dire

Thanksgiving season gives me time to contemplate
On fundamental natures, we as humans –

Thankfulness for all that we appreciated
Thanking those that thus participated
People, animals and plants
And, ultimately, God

It is our deep necessity
Reflecting life’s uncertainties
To cling to something absolute
That we believe infallible
A person, book or deity
It’s through such faith that we gain strength
To deal with life’s vicissitudes
Faith is our path to God

But where there’s faith there’s also doubt
If people like us don’t agree
And worship not our deity
They must convert or force them out
Else gone infallibility

Pack animals we are like wolves
We either lead or we are led
Just who and how a leader’s picked
This is the field of politics
Depending who is in our pack
They’re either like us or they aren’t
Our pack is broad or it is not
We either tolerate or not

The arc of human history
Increasing pack diversity

11/25

As some folks say, the ones who know about these things
It ain’t all over, not until the fat lady sings
But I’ll tell you, that red tsunami that Republicans predicted
Turned out to be a pinkish drizzle unexpected

Just who’ll control the Senate and the House
Blue stays the Senate; there I’ve got but little doubt
The House just slightly red with Kevin as its Speaker
But counting’s incomplete. Some races really squeakers

But one thing now we truthfully can say
Autocracy’s defeated, Democracy held sway
