On May 28th I was cutting
grass in the front yard when I collapsed and my heart stopped. After
emergency surgery I now am strapped with a pacemaker that seems to be
the same size as a small cell phone. I am alive, but feel like
Frankenstein must
have felt when he awoke after his lightning
jolt that brought him back to life. I now face the reality that my life
on this planet Earth is coming quickly to a close. I now live on
borrowed time, so to speak. No regrets, just the human thinking of
so much more that can be accomplished, bucket list and moments enjoyed -
all selfish reasons, I guess.
I am a realist and I know that life
does not last forever.
I have always appreciated freedom and
liberty and thankful I was born in the United States.
Our republic is moving faster toward
oblivion, and I have tried to pass on the enlightenment that the
Founders left behind, especially the prolific writer, Thomas Jefferson; and awaken Americans to the fact that politics and
unconstitutionally minded politicians, for whatever reason, seems to
think that socialism, a welfare state dependent upon those who
operate what is supposed to be the government For and By the People
have taken over our nation.
We the People have allowed this
to happen.
It did not occur overnight and it did
not happen without the help of indoctrinated citizens who think there
is a better form of government than the constitutional republic.
Someone once said, and was repeated by
others I deemed as mentors, that it is the simple things in life that
make it worth living and give us true personal peace and
satisfaction.
A sunny day in a meadow littered with
blooming flowers opening the days to the coming summer. Even winter
has beauty if you allow your eyes to see it.
The United States was formed by men, it
is true; but the blessings that helped make it great was its vast
resources and available land that allowed us to welcome immigrants to
assimilate and become citizens that helped build a great nation.
Benjamin Franklin upon exiting
into the street of Philadelphia after decision was made as to what
form of government the new United States should have and what
articles and amendments to be written as the rules of its government;
was asked by a woman what the outcome was. Mr. Franklin then said: A republic, if you can keep it.
Those
first settlers, those wise men that established the greatest
government system in the world by paying attention to the failures of
great nations and civilizations throughout human history; and all
those that followed who bravely faced life to settle and expand and
grow this nation, all those who died to keep it free are gone into
the pages of history and are now just dust
in the wind
…
Don't
let the tyrants destroy our republic or allow the fools who follow
them not be enlightened.
It
would be sad, as Dinesh
D'Souza
had said, that if the United States falls, the nations that are
enemies of freedom and liberty shall prevail and the legacy, indeed
the history of the United States will fall into the dust bin of
history.
Do
not
let ideas of socialism and anti-constitutional politics destroy what
almost amounts to being a
miracle of turn in events - the United States. No other nation grew to
greatness after a revolution. Chaos ensued and then another form of
tyranny and new tyrants took the place of the old.
The nation we rebelled against has become our
steadfast and loyal ally; who seems to be awakening from its own
apathetic socialist slumber with a form of Tea Party movement that
was formed in memory of the original Tea Party in Boston harbor. One
generation will become dust in the wind and a page or two in history;
but the real treasure is its children who grow and are nurtured and
provided the knowledge that helps them do great things and retain the
republic that Mr. Franklin was worried about the People losing.
Save
Our Republic
before it is too late. Every generation has the duty to pick up the
banner from the previous generation and keep the home fire burning.
Destinies are up in the air, daily now
Speeches with consequences prevail
Dragonflies now replace the lofty Monarchs
While warring word factions, still assail;
Excuses for the name calling are getting old
As inner bitterness destroys the once sweet
With hands that tear down semi-repaired bridges
With surface damage- near complete;
An angry breeze still lingers there
Where the forces of night still want to fight
Relentless in it's stubborn viscous bile
Wearing away all sources of goodness and light;
Clouds form over the old wounds that had nearly healed
A thunderstorm builds near a half-formed scar
Breaking loose what had tried to mend itself
Now the gales form with billowing sounds of war.
