     A Word About
    Partial Paralysis

And the Paralyzed Veterans
         of America
           sends me
          some more
        return address
               labels
               to use
               on my
                mail
                  …
                and I
          send myself
            a message:

'And what have you done
     to help these people
               really??
           You sit here,
                all safe
             and secure
          while they are
               out there
               giving it
                  their
                  best
                  shot
                    …
      You and your puny
               problems
         are no match for
               these men
              and women
               of courage
                and valor.

                  Get on
                  with it,
                whatever
                 it is that
              you are here
                    to do.
                 And that
            accomplishment
                will honor
                  the likes
                   of them
                     better
          than anything else
                      you
                could ever
                       do.

            What can I say
                  to them
                   really?
            Don't give up.
                   Never
                  give up.
                   And I
                   won't
                    either
                  to make
                  a better
                   world
             than this one
                  that we,
                 together,
          have been given
               to do with
                    as we
                     will.'

                   --

…And Speaking Of Will:

             Something
Would be amusing
If it weren't so.
                    To say:
Too many Democrats
These benighted days
Seem to think that
The American form
Of government is one
Of group rights,
                       wherein
                       the state
      tells The People
What rights - and powers -
They have,
               and what rights
And powers that
They don't have;
                             that
                       the state
                  is the Great
            Determiner
Of such things.
                        Whereas
                        the truth
                  of the matter
                            is that
        The People
              tell
           the state
        what rights
        and powers
             it has,
            and not
       the other way
            around.

           We need
        to get clearer
       on this matter
         obviously -
             to say
       the difference
            between
       what is called
         collectivism
     on the one hand
               and
        what is called
         individualism
         on the other.
                Or
        there will be
               war.
       Which actually
          has already
              begun.
         
       And the Right
         has its guilty
             parties
          in this war
            as well.
        So, between
            fascism
                on
           the Right
                and
           socialism
                on
            the Left
       We, the People
          are between
              a rock
                and
         a hard place.

            May We
              prevail
                with
          Our free will
                still
               intact
   when this particular
                battle
               is over
        and done with
            at the end
         of our journey
              in space
             and time.

         Which signals
                  the
              outcome
                   of
          our education
         in such critical
               matters
            as this one.
                  For
        there is only one
             authentic
       New World Order
               and that
          is the Kingdom
                   of
            Our Father
       at the completion
                    of
                our time
            in our school
         of such learnings.
                 And -
                 guess
                 what:
                   We
                   Are
                  Here.

      (For some: 'Already?'
              For others:
               'At last!')

I feel as though
God spoke through me
On this tithing
Offering
Of mine
For today.
