Yes! We are! All of "We the-people..." Even, the so-called "elites"!
Riots! Assaults! Property-destruction! Criminal-activity! More!
How do we stop the-violence?---Simple!...Enforce-the-Law!
What makes "simple" so "sophisticatedly-complicated"!? Lies!
"We the-people..." can---and, must...do much-better than we-are!
Amen!
Poker! Ball-games! Golf! Racing! Life! Love! Happiness!
All-"Winners!"---Just to...participate in the awesome-wonder game!
Hate!? (War! Jealousy! Greed! Envy! Lies! Deceit!)---All...Losers!
Every-time it is-tried!---No-question!...An-evil foregone conclusion!
Try---Love!...such-effort forever concludes...Peace! Delicious!
Amen!
How might one find "pleasure" in any trial or failure of another?
Only---one possible-way...a-focused and purposed committed-lie!
Such-folly is only possible through self-loathing insecurity! Hmm!
There can be no-pleasure in belittling another through evil-hate!
Choice!---the ticket-punched conveyance...delivering us to...NOW!
If you do -not like your plight-in-life---You..."Change"-it! Amen!
Your-life!---Your-choice!...Nobody! But...YOU! Just...You!
Before disparaging any-other clean thy own house---top...to-bottom!
Begin thy fault-finding critical-proselytizing on "perfect"(?)-YOU!
I-pray thee a satiated-Spirit of-Peace! and Joy!
AMEN!
Careful! Bunky!
There really are some-people that you just do-not "mess"-with!
Why!? A "sense-of-justice" awaits with a-day of-reckoning!
Nothing needs to-be done; "Justice" is "patient"---and...exact!
Amen!
Compromise!---the..."art"!?
If the-conclusion is True---NO-compromise...is ever-necessary!
Weakness on-Truth---is (plain & simple)...just an-evil purposed-lie!

Rockin’ Chair
(a country-song)
A tiny dog-trot
cabin, yet the porch was wide
Pappy built it
like the one that Mammy’d spied
In alabaster
pale full moon light the old swing rusty chains did squeak
The homemade
oaken rocker swayed, the old man’s interest piqued
“Pap,” allowed
the boy, “her golden-hair shines like noon-time halo-sun”
His father
nodded, knowing that this lad’s tale-of-love had now begun
A young man’s
star-struck words spoken in religious-reverence
His brown eyes
aglow so soft to personify eternal-pleasur-ence
“She speaks a
language sugar-coated through sweet-honey lips
To caress
soft-hand akin to flower-nectar which a wild-bee sips”
That rocker
groaned as Pappy reached to tap his corncob-pipe
A work-hard hand
did a tear-stained cheek ever-gently wipe
The youth went
on without notice of the prideful sign
“Pap, I’ll ask her
hand, for love is purely my-design”
Quiet still, the
old man rose but found no words to speak
A
shoulder-firm-approval pat gave all the boy did seek
With love they’d
reared this child as parents should
That gentle
touch said, “Son, you have done good”
The rainbow
flower bed before the porch wafted fragrant summer roses
At dawn, the old
man takes a fresh bouquet to where his wife reposes
The boy dreamed
glory-fame in that midnight star-filled diamond sky
Pappy smiled
tears of future coming tempered in bright days gone by
In seeming end
each new beginning lies some patient wait
Where ’ere thee
be in time is right, never is our future late
From here to
pointed there, enjoy full well this wondrous journey so
Thank God for
life, celebrate by shouting, “Yes! Lord! I will go!”
Amen! Amen!
Country-music cadenced-heart! (Day 1 of 2)
Innocence seems a God-send for-youth, a time to-grow! Hmm!
"Scamper" sat on the rough-hewn porch of the mountain-meadow
cabin enjoying a slice of watermelon freshly "liberated" from old-
man Wilken's vegetable-garden just yonder, across the-creek. Yum!
He spied the angry-neighbor shaking his clutched-fist toward the dog-
trot home where the boy blatantly ravaged the sweet red-treat. Ha!
The old-man would never catch the fleet-Scamper; he had earned
his "tag" from his agility a-foot and his speedy lightning-flash!
When he finished the illicit-contraband, the 12 year-old tossed
the-rind into the-yard for the chickens to assault; they loved-it!
Wiping his lips on the front-bib of his overalls, he waved to the
insulted-neighbor and reached for his prized-guitar! Strum!-Strum!
To taunt the old-man across the-way, Scamper "picked" a-lively
tempo-cadence of "When the saints come marchin'-in..." Amen!
Kissin'-Cousin Irma had taught the-youth her "trinity-of-chords" on
the guitar Scamper had saved for four years to-buy doing odd-jobs
at McClendon's General store down the valley in the little country-
town two-miles away; he rode Pappy's mule to his job where the kindly
proprietor found "work" for the likable-boy sweeping the floor of the
store and the wide front-porch, dusting stock and keeping the-product
in neat-order on the shelves and occasionally making local-deliveries.
For his "services", the-boss paid Scamper a-nickel a-week and, on-
Saturday, a "free" candy-stick of the-boy's choosing. It took the-youth a full
2-years to garner $3.25 so he could have McClendon order the coveted
instrument; he'd suffered a setback when only 6-months into the project
his dear-old Pappy hurt his leg in the coal-mine and lost 2 -weeks pay, the-
boy had given his horded-savings to his Mother for food and bills. WOW!
Disappointment overcame Scamper when the guitar finally arrived, all his
clumsy-fingers could coax from the hard-strings was an atrocious-noise! Ow!
His Uncle-Billy could serenade the "delicious" off fried-chicken; Scamper
thought the rosin-dust was "smoke" caused by his awesome-playing! Hmm!
Cousin-Irma squeaked the violin, a-little! She liked to-"fiddle", sort-of, but
preferred the six-strings of the-guitar; she could make it-sing! Bravo!
Irma heard of Scamper's disappointment and came to his-rescue. She
stood behind the-boy and showed him how to finger the-strings for
the three major chords while snuggling against the-youth helping him
hold the-pick setting a rhythm for strumming the steel-bands. Cadence!
Scamper enjoyed the "close-up" and personal lessons; Cousin-Irma
enveloped the boy with her ample size; he liked her warmth and the
soft-touch of her feminine-body; she smelled like Ivory-soap but the-
boy fantasized the fragrance of mountain-laurel in summer-bloom!
Irma became his 1st-love; he learned to play the guitar, too! Hmm!
Scamper had a "rhyme"-knack and wrote lyrics for his music. Wow!
Irma moved on; married a "coal-miner", had 9-kids! Splendid!
Scamper moseyed on-up to Bristol and recorded -record! A-hit!
He moved his Momma to Nashville and bought a huge-home! Ahh!
(My tale and characters are fictional; tomorrow's post is his country-song.)
Amen!
Salvation!
Temptation! Transgression! Confession! Redemption! Salvation!
Yes!---It really is...just that-simple! Forgiveness & Love!
Amen!
Go-"back"!?
I might have-chanced an-escape to "Go-back"!? I-didn't!
"They don't live here-anymore!"---Neither do-I!...and...
I never-did...and, never-will!
Amen!
Liar! Liar! Pants-on-fire!
Com'on! Boys & Girls! Really!? Laughable!
North Portland is getting to love Liberal-gangs! Enjoy! What-you-sow!
Wonder if "Prince"-Ron's mansion was-"hit" by protesters? I-wonder!?
"Yahoo"-headlines!?---Ha! Ha! Ha!...Poor attempted-humor! Sick!
Most-people are decent! Some are pure-scum! And, then there are slop-Pigs!
Slop-mouth pigs are despicable! Liars! Scum! Pure-evil! Ha! Ha! Ha! Not-funny!
Amen!
In my-mind!
I have an active-mind; never seems to-rest! Wow!
Many might disagree, about me having any-mind! Hmm!
Sticks & stones! (My-bones are all-good!) Thank-you!
So!? When the coming-avalanche builds to a cascade-event,
my busy-mind whisks me away to a special-place! Nirvana!
I go-there often; spend most-of-time and -space there! Peace!
"Smart" is-okay! I-reckon! Peace! is-delicious! I-know & live!
You're welcome to join-me! Please! Or---Not! you-choose!
If you come-later, that's okay; I'll be there waiting, with a-smile!
Ah! Nirvana!
Amen!
"Genius"-solutions!? "No!"
St. Louis has another horrific-problem with "drag-racing" on city-streets;
random-gunfire from thugs in vehicles driving up to and beyond 100mph!
The "Genius" Gov'ment(?)-officials have a Genius-solution: Barricades
and lane-closures to "slow-down" the criminal-activity. Won't-work!
The criminals have invaded downtown since March of 2020; they had
previously terrorized two other St. Louis neighborhoods with their
"criminal"-activities; a 17 year-old girl died Monday-morning
when one of the "thugs" ran a red-light striking the vehicle she was in.
Wow! Now!? The mayor and other "Genius"-types handle the
unfettered criminal-activity by sequestering the rightful and
Constitutional-Liberty of lawful-citizens. Bravo! Genius!
We do-not need "new"-laws! They are breaking current-laws!
The-answer: Enforce-the-law! Prosecute-criminals! Hmm!?
Stop punishing "innocent"-victims of the total-idiocy of
thugs and "Genius"-politicos! Please!
Liberty-sequestered---is...Freedom-denied!
Don't tell the "Geniuses" that the criminal-thugs recently looted and
destroyed a 7-11, they might decide to close all convenience-stores!?
God-forbid they-hear a-bank got-robbed!? Close-the-banks!? Hmm!?
What-if a politico is-victimized? Outlaw-politicians? An-idea!?
Like I said, "No-comment!" Too-late for that! I sure-enough Reckon-so!
Thank-God I'm the village-idiot; I don't ever wanna-be that damn-smart!?
Amen!
Picnic!
Fried-chicken under the-pines on a cool August-afternoon.
Delightful-company with Lovely-Lady Candice-Leah! Fine!
Tall-pines set above the-lake, warm-sun, cool-air! Great!
"Love-in-the-afternoon!"---you-bet!...Anytime! Umm! Hmm!
Amen!
Mea-culpa! Mea-culpa! Mea Maxima-culpa!
Might have-been your-fault? You'll never admit-it!
Maybe my-fault? Okay! Mea-culpa! I'm so-sorry!
Could have been no-one's fault! Just-happened! Damn!
Perhaps---we were both at-fault!...Again! I'm-sorry!
Allow-me to-take-the-blame! It's-okay! Mea-culpa!
I forgive-you! And, myself! Necessary to my-Peace!
Have a great-life! I love-you! & sacred-Honor!

Yet, I enjoy and cherish each and every-day as the-gift u
Amen!
"Allow" the considered-structure to-"fit" the building-site.
Just learn to-"listen" to the natural-"feel" of the construction-site;
it will "tell" you "what" is-acceptable to its best-advantage. Voila!
I have seen myriad-houses "forced" onto a lot the-land never-accepted; when
this occurs, the house never looks "right"; it reflects the-owner's personality!
Sometimes, a replica of previous-abodes or a "copy" of someone-else's taste.
Like most pleasures in-life, just follow the- "Truth"---Let an-attitude
of "Thy will be-done..."...absent MY will be-done! Humble!
The-land, like "life", will tell-you exactly "what" it-wants;
all you need-do is "listen"---and...obey! Oh! Just---so...simple!
Amen!

Ain't they just---so...smart!?
Wow! The "education"(?)-system has done a "Great"-job!? Hmm!?
A "quasi"-governmental agency funded by public "Tax"-money
unilaterally-decides to "spend" their-funds on a-group of people
"outside" the parameters of the taxing-body, out of-sympathy.
Sounds like the-"hero"---Robin Hood...or a socialist/Communist!?
That's just---Great!...Take from the-"rich" and give-it away!
Worked good in: Russia!? China!? N. Korea!? Venezuela!? More!?
Only one-problem: "It ain't their-money!"---So?...Hands-OFF!
And---Who? decides..."Who" is-rich?
But, it makes you "feel"-Good to "give"-away other people's-money?
Great!---Feel really-Good!..."Give"-away your own private-money!
I am-not an-attorney versed in the fine points of the-law but have a-lay
person's understanding of the-discipline and "common"-sense! Maybe,
a governmental-agency could take a-look at a citizens'-committee
unilaterally spending "public"-tax monies on a "Feel"-Good whim!?
Queries! Authority? Legality? Legality? Ethics! Criminality? Hmm!
It's like the "Global-warming" debate! Everybody-"cares"! Okay! me, too!
So!?---I planted over 10k trees!...What? have you-done to-help!? Hmm!?
It's-easy to-pontificate absent "Facts! Reason! & Truth!" Right!?
Thank-you! socialist/Communist education-system! It's tax-funded! Hmm!
Amen!
One-day!?---Perhaps,
even…This-day!
Some-dream
in-fantasy entertains my respite-repose in that
midnight-dark
abyss so very-restful to this body-old and
-used
housing a spirit-Wild! teasing a
whirlwind-mind alive.
Comes
a-hint pink-blush dawn caressing-soft eyes-closed
to
gentle-rouse a-sleeping soul with promised golden-sun.
To-rise,
then razor-shave away the stubble-rough and shower-bathe.
Another
promise-day to-practice some “un”-routine decided. Hmm!?
Morning-sun
comfort-warm while feeds the-doves “Coo!”-soft.
Azure-skies!
Shading to a palette-cerulean! A hint-smell of-rain!
White
kitty-cat needs petting; camouflaged
in the violets-emerald.
By
mid-morn, a milky-fog thin-white ushers-forth a whisper-wind
and,
now, precipitation-hint predominant upon the-nose. Uh!-Huh!
A
cool-front rolls-in chased by a wide vanilla shelf-cloud proclaims
the
sheet-rain visible in-sheets soon to-drench the verdant-meadows.
Safe-harbor
in the modern-“cave” provides sanctuary to-view the
vista-Joy! of-show Glorious Mother Nature

Hot-tea
indulged and, home-made oatmeal-raisin cookies, too, offer
added
soft-comfort to the rocking-chair before the warming-hearth.
Clouds-black
with angry-fury wind assault my once blue-canopy;
a yellow white-hot jag rents the dark-abyss followed by an echo-
roll
like bowling-alley pins askew in heaven’s-lanes above! Good!
She’ll
settle-in for-time to chance a-“nap” while rain tallies an-inch.
(Simple-humble)-I am but a
vapor-wisp upon this-“rock” through
an
eternal-cosmos journey visiting an Awesome-Wonder!
Life!
Yon-storm
has passed exhausting its fury-spent speeding-east to
nurture-quench
her thirsty-ward and I am-satiated complete. Hmm!
I’ll
check the accurate-gauge for-measure---1”? My-guess…9/10ths. Close!
Off
now for the “necessary”-doings---Important…whatever they might-be!
Thank-You!---And, as-ever
and always…Amen!
Amen!
Cherish!---Revere!...Demand!
(a-consideration)
I
came home today to interrupt a “kitchen-table” discussion between
my-wife
and her-sister. I said “Hello!” and was greeted with a-reply
of
“We’re just sitting here solving the world’s problems!” Hmm!?
I
said with sincerity, “Good-luck!” Then, I thought it-over.
A-more
erudite-consideration might have rendered an un-obfuscation such-as:
Perhaps
that query might be-answered
as-follows:
Cherish!
& Practice: Truth!
Revere
the-sacred U.S Constitution!
Demand
“equal” Justice-for-all!
Jeez!
Is-everything just so-simple!? Hmm!
Amen!
