Happy Thanksgiving Day
How magnificent is the Lord Almighty
And forgiving His glory
Padre Nuestros en Los Cieolos above
Praises we give you with our undying love
Your hand has guided us yet another year
Today with families we gather and share
Hours of joy over a specially prepared meal
And give thanks for all the things we feel
No worries will overcome us today
Kneeling together and to you, pray
Sorrows we forget as you descend
Give us your blessings and our problems mend
It’s great Lord to give you thanks for family
Very great for friends, our jobs, health and opportunity
I know Lord some will gave you thanks for their Governments
National Organizations, Churches and resolved arguments
God our thanks is as varied as you have made us all
Diverse as the snow flakes on the winter snowfall
And still one thing is possible, where ever we may stay
You God make it possible to have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
The Nobel Peace Prize
This morning he awoke to Malia saying dad you won!
He didn’t start celebrating before more followed on
Eagerly she continued, dad it’s Bo’s birthday!
Nobel Peace Prize is great but other responsibilities he had to portray
Obama always said he was first a dad
Bo the family pet was the only dog they had
Letting this Birthday past would be a major wrong
Even though this award was great he must first get along
Pets are like family and must not be set aside
Every occasion with family Barack smiles wide
And though he is humbled that the world nations believe
Change can start from ideas small men conceive
Even though he is the first sitting President in 90 years
Presented with this honor for his approach to world affairs
Rights of world citizens are in his forefront but close at home
Is the responsibility of family and Nation where ever he may roam
Zilch is the significance of personal grandeur and so he
Emphasized the involvement of all people and it starts with family
Where Were You When
With all the chaos and fear
Horrific happenings in the air
Explosion that brought the North tower down
Real debris thrown all around
Explosion again and the second Twin Tower fell
Were you there at 9/11 in that moment’s hell
Each person below running for their life
Ran as fast as they can, a husband and wife
Even older folk panicked with this tragedy
You never seen anything like this in all history
Our nation was again the first but this time with pain
Under the best of protection, terrorists can reign
With years of deception and shrouded right here
Here in the bowels of our country in that dreaded year
Eight years ago they changed how we go
Now any airplane above causes turmoil below
The Lion Of The Senate
This death, although we tried to prepare
Has grabbed tightly, people everywhere
Every political figure and every constituent
Lost this iconic figure and his needed involvement
I watched closely and read how he
Organized bipartisanship and caused both sides to agree
No other senator served in this way
Only he made crossing sides seem okay
Forty seven year he worked hard to enact legislation
The Cancer, Disabilities, Civil Rights Acts. Nationality and Immigration
Health Insurance, Children’s Health program, Mental Health Parity
Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, most recently
Senator Kennedy worked with President Bush, the two parties combined
Enacted in 2002 an educational Act, No Children Left Behind
Numerous other bills, over 300, in his political odyssey
Are now part of the Lion’s great legacy
Ted passed the torch to Barack before he passed away
Expecting Americans will enjoy Universal Health Care soon, one day
Senator Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy
Shook their hands and reached across the isle
Edward “Ted” Kennedy was versatile
November 7 in 1962
Assigned to the Senate and from there this icon grew
Tragedy came to his brothers very early
Oswald shot and killed JFK then Sirhan shot and killed Bobby
Remorse clouded Ted’s good judgment they say, over these 5 years
Emotions overcame Ted and little could dry his tears
Driving from a party in ‘69 his car broke a bridge
When it overturned in the water, he escaped and fled to a ridge
Abandoning the accident where his passenger had drown
Reported his guilt of fleeing and accepted the mandate of the crown
Darkness plagued Ted and he needed great light
Mounded himself into work and there shone bright
Over the next four decades his records would show
One man who became an icon that both sides will know
Reached out first as a friend to all in the House
Encouraged all other Senators to dispel political grouse
Then get to the root of the problems before they decide
Even chose to stand in the way before them, if tempers will collide
Decades of work, he wrote over 300 bills
Kept busy, they called him “The Lion Of The Senate,” for his skills
Enormous contributions he made to affect all Americans’ lives
No other Senator has done more, I hope his legacy survives
Not through his name alone but the differences he laid
Equality, Civil Rights, universal health care and immigration aid
Dogs were his passion, sailing, fishing and saying “You tried!”
Yesterday, before midnight, Senator Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy, died
Motivated By Money
My illness exposed me to doctor who
Only seemed interested in the money they accrue
Tonight in regular profHannity the TV host suggest
If doctors are not paid top notch money expect mediocre test
Viewers were asked to believe that the young doctors who pursue
Ambitious salaries will take better care of you
This can’t be so from what I have seen
Every doctor motivated by money seem to act mean
Doctors who quickly operate because you can pay
But never concerned that diet can take your trouble away
You can’t expect such doctors to forgo good surgical money
Making decisions to treat patients more inexpensively
On TV we met most doctors that chose to work without pay
Nursing patients to live beyond another day
Efficiency comes best from caregivers who aren’t economical scholars
You get better care from doctors not seeking the almighty dollars
Protesters With Guns
People who sense change sometimes act
Riotous against anything rather fiction or fact
Obstructing progress to improve they own lives
Taking up guns and replacing their knives
Economy is hard and health care strained
So Government proposes a cure, so why did they complained
They were conned by haters into believing it would
Euthanize granny with Death Panels, clearly the Bill is misunderstood
Regardless to the efforts of the President and his team
Such bitterness pour into our streets with actions extreme
Watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
I would not believe this was Thomas Jefferson’s aspirants
That men would wield guns before their President
Have a misguided fortitude that it makes them independent
Governor once and President would be Palin planted a seed
Under her mischief the bitterness would feed
Nibbling away all good intensions and leaving an evil shell
She has managed to make innocent people blindly rebel
The Right To Bare Arms
The people are not bitter Obama, with guns on their hips
Holstered during their rallying trips
Everyone can within the law demonstrate
Rights to carry these weapons as they participate
Imagine such civil unrest that these
Go church with side arms strapped above the knees
How worrying to see students on our corridors
Turning out like Billie the Kid to resurrect more horrors
The parks where we go to meditate
Or walk our dogs, gun fanatics now populate
Brothers now scaring brothers if when they open the door
Are people packing semi-autos and some packing more
Rubbish, this must be rubbish to hear
Every one by the law can choose to wear
A gun while present in a politically volatile crowd
Restricting guns at other grouping will soon be disallowed
Me, I’m still having difficulty why churches have alarms
Sleeveless tops banned, ladies don’t have The Right To Bare Arms
At His Beck And Call
A stunning remark on Fox which deserved a fist
They say that President Barack Obama is a racist
Had no reservation and got no rebuke
It was as if Beck’s action didn’t seem to spook
Smiles emerged with approval on each face
Beck’s attempts to substantiate his remarks on race
Evoked nothing from the threesome sitting there
Couldn’t see any repugnance, they didn’t care
Kept listening but wanted so much to turn them off
And it only got worse when I saw no one scoffed
No one seeing any wrong in this
Didn’t understand how anyone can think Barack’s a racist
Come a few days later I heard Barack was like Hitler
A man who opted for genocide to make the Whites purer
Looks like they are bent on painting our President as evil
Like they are controlled by a dark and more sinister will
Happy Birthday Mr. President
How can I say, Happy Birthday?
And how can I in a day, his troubles allay?
Paupers like me never get to see
People like he, with such pedigree
Yes we can was his cry, but how can I
Bring happiness to a President, how ever hard I try
I’ve seen the joy one man can bring
Realized that if you believe, you can do anything
The audacity of hope is within my reach
He taught me to believe and then each
Dream can be made into a reality
And so I’ll believe and with audacity
Yes I can give the President what I desire
May this day be as my dream, and as I require
Real happiness amidst his busy schedule
Peace from the haters, backstabbers, and all things cruel
Resolve of the problems of immediacy
Enemies no longer a threat to our country
Soft answers to carry away people’s rage
Integrity to know the time to turn a new page
Devoted colleagues that will always have your back
Economy, Health Care and Immigration put back on track
Nothing can stop my dreams and my earnest pray
To wish President Barack Obama a Happy Birthday!
The Police Acted Stupidly
The President dared to say what he can
He described actions and not the character of the policeman
Even with his measured and careful word
People attacked what they think they heard
On that night when the arrest was made
Lawman, who trains other acted stupidly, I’m afraid
Invading ones own home, how could this be?
Could a man jimmying his own lock be described as guilty?
Even when he says to the police he’s the lawful owner
Are there no checks that would verify this, is there no procedure?
Can I expect that had this man been a White
That he would’ve been meted out that same treatment, that night?
Ever considered the mood you would have been in
Disgusted from your circumstance now the police, outside, beckoning?
Sir! Get out the house! And you asked, Why? Cause I’m Black?
This is no reason for the police to get out of whack
Using a cane, standing 5’5”, with proof of ID
Police surely could’ve walked away, even without an apology
I agree with the President and think our trained policemen
Diffuse many more volatile incidents, so why not then
Locked emotions, Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley
Years of racial mending being broken because the police acted stupidly.
Renegade - 2
Roads of uncertainty, in fact not even a path
Every step we take, every row of the wrath
Nothing there to guide us but faith and trust
Each decision is his and so we must
Give him the opportunity to lead the way
All our efforts before him had led us astray
Doing things against the grain needs someone who’s not afraid
Electing Barack Obama gives him the chance to be the Renegade
Renegade
Romantic trip on the Jet and they were criticized
Engaged in multilingual talks and he was ostracized
Noticeable hand shake and a smile with Hugo Chavez
Erupted in disapproval now distrust for all he does or says
Going to the Muslim world to speak where he’d never done before
And nominating his Supreme Judge Sonia Sotomayor
Delivering a commensurate speech at a military parade
Every thing President Barack Obama does makes him the Renegade
CIA-Central Intelligence Agency
Can’t Include All the Constant Inappropriate Alibis
Everybody knows the Agency is built on deception and lies
Nancy didn’t know her husband of 10 years
To be Collaborating In Assignations, not like what he appears
Ronald Comes Into Airports and with the greatest of ease
Arranges to pass through without examination for disease
Like a Conceal Identity Arranged this special pass
I Can’t Imagine Allowing some Contaminations In, Alas
No one should have the kind of clout
To keep Compromising It All as they travel about
Effectively transferring disease like the Swine Flu
Let this epidemic become pandemic by the stupidity they do
Like my friend who Covertly Indulges Adultery
Incorporates his Creative Inventive Aliases for infidelity
Government’s Clandestine Indecent Actions in guise of work
Evil man calling himself patriotic but I call him a jerk
Night and day he goes about in his double life
Cold Ignorant Asinine fool who lies to his wife
Every one working there or at least the majority
Are working in a Corrupted Intolerant Agency
Government people trained to deceive with lovers glances
Every one of them Coming Into Acute circumstances
Never Could I Agree to a job that requires such deceptions
Change I Accepted and now most Countries Imagine Americans
You Can Install A more truthful Central Intelligence Agency
The first lady of America holds more power in her hand than you know. Yes we all know how women can manipulate their men, but this has nothing to do with that. Michelle has managed to captivate the hearts of the world now that they have all given her a chance. She has gone from “unpatriotic” following the distorted sound bytes of her “For the first time.. I’m proud of my country” speech, to become one of the most beloved Americans ever. It all came from her, back down to the unprecedented hugging of the Queen. Oh Michelle, my belle!
Michelle
Mighty is the power of America’s first lady
It’s not because of her status through the Presidency
Cause many before her has held this place
Her power transcends marriage status, creed and race
Eras have passed and we’ve never seen a close facsimile
Listens to the aristocrat and the layman equally
Loves her Nation and its children in a very special way
Even though she’ll be busy, I pray her a Blessed Mother’s Day!
The National Day Of Prayer
There is great sanctity in prayer
How we do it and where
Ecumenical services are more for men
National Committees choosing when
Assembly is appropriate for public display
To give an elusion they communally pray
I believe when we pray we must bare our soul
Open our heart to God and give Him the control
No interruption or distraction we should deliberately make
And so cameras and mics can make prayer fake
Lots of my friends differ with me
Don’t see the harm in praying publicly
And with the technology to spread prayer far and wide
You’re being sanctimonious if in prayer you hide
Once I bare my soul, the greatest essence of me
Focus on my Lord to pray earnestly
People should understand the emotions I feel
Reverence beyond description as I bend and kneel
And understand I would sooner walk naked through the street
Yes naked, before I pray with cameras set at my feet
Ecumenical services for the people but don’t mock the Lord
Refusing cameras by President Obama, I’m in full concord
Burger Tips From Barack
Barack and Biden had a touch of “burgermania”
Used a motorcade and arrived in Arlington, Virginia
Ray's Hell Burger was their host
Got it all from off a neuter Blog post
Early this morning I saw a video
Realized it was a photo op, another political show
Then something else dawned on me
I wanted for the whole world to see
President Obama left more than his $5.00 tip
Showed more than was portrayed on the video clip
For getting in line he showed that we
Regardless to position in society
Our behavior should remain the same
Manners to wait, humbleness, patience and with no shame
Barack thought of the importance of spending money
At any small man’s store, the neighborhood grocery
Reminded us that even the workers behind a Burger counter
Are equally opportune to meet nobles in social demeanor
Careful whether behind or in front a counter to do this
Keep working and your demeanor To Insure Proper Service
After I wrote my friend I realized that the phrase Happy New Year like Our Lord Jesus also had 12 letters. This number 12 was starting to seem even more important. When I think of the things I wanted to pray for my family and friend this New Year, I came up with these during an early morning soliloquy.
Happy New Year
Here are 12 letters, 12 lines and 12 things in A Prayer For You
A prayer that all Your Earnest Prayers Come True
Peace And Goodwill to you and your fellow man
Prayers for Good Health and to be the best that you can
Your family and friend’s True Undying Love
Nurturing for Spiritual Growth from our Father above
Every Day Contentment and that you find early
Wisdom to help guide in times of uncertainty
Your mind, body and soul, I’ll pray for His Healing Touch
Every Blessing Bestowed you and none be too much
At this turn of the year I pray for you Great Prosperity
Ring in 2009 with my prayer for God’s Promise Of Life Eternity
