Obama Is

      Obama Is

Obama is, and those

Who conspired with him

To illegally occupy

              the office

Of the presidency are,

Immoral.  Yes.

But how much more immoral

Are those who profess to morality

But let him, and them, get away

With their act of chicanery

And deceit, knowing it was

Illegal?  (Or having good reason

To believe so, anyway.)  And thus a

                             hijack 

Of the American republic

And, needless to say, of  

      the Constitution

  (that is to say, the rule

                       of law

    in the nation).  

    The Christian religion

                           (for

After all, this is

A Christian nation; at least

Founded as such

By honorable men

Who wished those who

Followed them in

The steering of

The ship of state

To be so, too; 

           such steering

           not fit

For any other)

Has something to say

About those who draw near

With their words, but are

                     faint 

Of heart.  They

Are lukewarm, and thus 

                       not fit

        for the kingdom

Of Truth.  

               And yes, I

Chastise thee, who

Have ears to hear;

And encourage thee

            to get on

         the right side

      of history.

   while you still

   have

   Time

To make it count

On your record.

For there is

Justice

In the universe

Ultimately.

--

And in lead-up to Veterans Day
                                          I say:
A lot of brave men, and some women too
                   died
Or were maimed (in many ways)
In this country's battles
Honorably.  Shame on those
Who have, and would, undercut
Their sacrifice.

I repeat: Shame.

I salute thee, honorable soul
                      called home
In what has to have felt
Too soon
To finish your chapter
With your family
And your country.

Peace.

We will carry on.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
