Politically correct demands no chance to be who we are.
Gotta watch how we dress and knowing people even judge our car.
Change you hair style and knowing other categorize us by our shoes.
Often we can't be who we are, so it gives us the blues..
Why can't we just share our heart and bare our soul?
Why can't we live life, maybe even not having a goal?
Say something nice, give a compliment,
some wonder, what is your game, or mental ailment?
Some might even want to charged you with sexual harassment.
Makes you change your social style and even your environment.
It is not safe to hang out with some, makes you change where your time is spent..
Oh no, don't share your heart or let others see your soul..
Oh hell no, don't look at one dressed to the nines.
Don't give a smile and a thumbs or be kind.
Don't dare grab and open that door or straighten a rumpled rug on the floor..
Don't dare say some emblem or symbol looks great.
It might depict a sub culture or hells gate..
Curb your heart don't speak what you feel in your soul..
Why can't we just be real?
Don't dare say you voted for this or that.
Don't say you are disgusted with a or a cat.
NO NO NO, never say anything about FAT..
Holy Crud, don't walk down the street with a ball bat.
Don't stroll slowly enjoying scenery acting like you don't know where you are at..
Be socially correct, don't entertain what is in your heart and soul..
Always pretend you are on some speeding treadmill headed for a goal..
Make sure you got your I-pod, make sure you got your lap top..
NO NO, do not use them especially if you are driving meeting a cop.
Pitter patter, twitter and tweed.
Keep you fingers going like one tanked up on speed..
Be sure you have a medical certificate if you get high on weed..
Oh sure, send headlines, texts and even e-mail to your cell phone feed.
Your body, mind and soul in one little smart phone is all you need..
Don't search your heart or dig into your soul..
Your life on a screen is enough indeed..

Are the thoughts for us or only those of the author?

What was the author trying to say?
What does the writers words mean?
What was the book trying to portray?
What is in the story for us to glean?
Is that what those who pen words want seen?
Why do teachers and people try to ask us what the writer meant?
Why do we and people not ask what we got out of the time just spent?
Yes the time we spent reading the words no matter what the author meant.
The words were theirs, but the meaning becomes ours.
I think of words most times like looking at a field or vase of flowers..
Do we ask what the planter meant when they cast seeds in the ground by the hours?
Do we ask what they were trying to say by planting the flowers?
Oh sure, flowers, words, weeds and and even the wind have something to say.
They all mean something to us, we get their feeling and meaning every day..
BUT are we always thinking of what the creator had to say?
The creator of the fan made wind, but what were they thinking that day?
The planter or arranger of the flowers probably had lot of thoughts as they worked away.
God or the devil may have had lots of thoughts or smirks as they toss weeds in our way..
OR was it the WIND who blew them to us one windy day?
Sure we need to most times consider what things were created for.
Consider what works and what does not, even what danger may be in store.
A small little electric car will not tow a truck trailer very good.
The holey ladies fish net stockings don't work on a mans hairy legs very well.
Even if they did, the hair poking out probably would look like hell..
Did all these thing go through the creators mind like the ringing of some bell?
Did the creator take time for coffee, thinking and sitting a spell?
OR did they just create it and think time would tell?
Tell if people would use it, enjoy it or if it would sell.
Can we first accept words and the story?
Can we just at first bask in its glory?
Can we first walk through its theme?
First taking it to us for what it might mean?
Can we usually close our eyes and put us into it as we dare dream?
Aren't the words for us?
Oh yes, then we can ponder a bit longer.
Then we can dig a bit and wonder.
We can think then of what the creator tried to say.
But in the onset most is for our enjoyment of the day..
Most is for us, possibly making us go another direction or change our way.

Which is first the chicken or the eggs.. or is it 380 million baby chicks are aborted?

Do we ever take time to think of the chicks that never have a life?
Do we ever take time to wonder what of them?
Do we ever give thought to the egg?
Do we ever ask ourselves if the hen wonders where her egg has gone?
Do we even take time to wonder or care about the chickens?
Should we wonder and care about the chickens?
Millions of eggs out of maybe two plants alone.
Some will cheer thinking of the cholesterol that will not be eaten.
Others will moan as there breakfast is not complete without eggs that are gone.
I ask how many plants are in this nation, just how many eggs must be consumed?
I then wonder about the chickens and the eggs.
Is it billions? Can the mind even comprehend?
Where do they get chicken food, what do they do with all the pooop?
Do the chickens wonder about their eggs as they sit in their coop?
What do we wonder about, do we ever take time to care?
Do we read the headlines and give thought to what is implied there?
Do we think about and hope all will learn enough to get a passing grade?
Do we think about the criminals and the officers who are killed trying to do a raid?
Do we think about the drunks in the bar who are spending the money for food?
What do we wonder on be it bad or good?
If we don't think of the chicken and egg, do we think about others?
Do we think about the beaten and abused who hurt or even die at the hands of another?
Do we think about the dictators of the world and wonder how they came to power?
Do we think about ones sleeping under a bridge or in a door way down the street?
Do we care about the and wonder what made her become what she is?
Do we look at each face and know behind it is a story?
Do we understand their good times and some of what they might tell could be gory?
Do we even care?
Will we even think about us and our of those we care for?
Do we really think about the food we eat or what helps our bodies be complete?
Do we think about the medicine and pills we take?
Do we just listen to the News or search to see between the lines?
Do we consider to seeing most things by following a money trail?
Do we take time to think about what sounds like hype and what could be true?
The only way things gets better or changes begins with me and you.
Yes, I think about the chicken and the egg, what do you do?

Your every movement, your actions, your every pattern.
She watched you as you became her obsession.
She knew you were to become her possession.
Would all this ever be told in her confession?
She soon dreamed as your every movement was to make an impression.
Your walking the beach or park was as though the two of you were a class in session.
Even the buying at the second hand store was precious as you cared about the recession.
YES, you had become her trigger of sensation.
No other as great as you had ever been made in all of creation.
Your hair uncombed, unkempt, wind blown.
Your hair was to be hers alone.
Your face with all its character, even the look you had when hard as stone.
All of it made her know you were to be hers, you were her man to own..
She would make you into the man others would want to clone.
Your movements, your walk, when she would sit close enough to hear you talk,
all would make her heart pitter patter like a rabbit being chased by a hawk.
Your life was what she lived by as she watched her clock.
She knew when you would come and go and never miss when you took a walk..
WOW, she wished she was brave enough to approach you for a talk..
She saw you brighten, smile and rush over to the young woman.
She saw the two of you hug and walk hand in hand like school .
Her anger flared as she deemed to save you from one young enough to be your .
You were not going to be caught by a gold digger and led to slaughter.
Your heart was to be hers and not treated like so much fodder..
The exchanged "I love you" parting was the final straw.
The syringe was pulled from her purse and held tightly like in the grip of a claw.
As you looked in her eyes you could see determination set in her jaw.
The anesthetic injected worked fast as she drew you into her car.
In the few days your last breath would be taken, you became a falling star.
You cheated, you did not care, you were bad as the rest, bad as some from the bar.
Soon she was back on the street looking for another man to meet.
The , the gold digger rushed to say hello.
"Have you seen the man I was with the other day when I saw you across the street?"
"I'm so concerned as he has not been seen."
"I hope he did not meet some one mean."
"He is so kind, loving and usually so very happy."
"I miss him so, he is my Daddy."

As the earth groans and screams our name..
As the trees shout out and say remember us..
As the rivers rise and break out of their banks..
As the storms rage all over the land..
As all this happens, it could be US holding each other..
As the power goes out and it gets cold.
As the carpet wears and the curtains get old.
As the facet drips and the appliances wear out.
As we see it all and feel down and begin to pout.
As all this happens, it could be us snuggling together.
As our hair needs more die to stay dark.
As our ears start to hear only a dogs louder bark.
As our eyes need glasses more often to see.
As we feel the longer walks hurt our knee.
As all this happens, it could be us walking hand in hand gently.
As the politicians spend more and more of our money..
As the laws become so stupid they are not even funny.
As the Mega money grabbers the people and the planet.
As the lies and deceptions become blatant and run rampant.
As all this happens, it could be you and I caring for each other.
As the disease and death toll continues to rise.
As it seems the planet is plundered and we see much that dies.
As the old ideals and ways seem to drop like many dieing flies.
As we see the spraying and Chem-Trails in the skies..
As all this happens, it could be us looking in each others eyes.
As we can not longer smoke but people can drink and drive drunk.
As we no longer can tell of the healing power of natural food or plants.
As we are fed synthetic Medicines that make us sick and make us need more.
As we are monitored when we come in or go out the door.
As all this happens, it could be you and I holding each other tight.
As natural fabrics are replaces with synthetics.
As natural plants are changed with things modified.
As DNA is manipulated and reorganized.
As Animals have more rights than some humans..
As all this happens, it could be me and you taking time to visit the zoo.
As we see all this happen.
As we see all this boggle our minds.
As we see all this make us shake our heads.
As we see all this change the way we live.
As we see all this going on,
We could shut off the TV ...
We could shut off the NEWS.
We could walk hand in hand discussing how great it is being together..

Stand with Arizona and show support... PLUS Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all..

It seems plenty of the militant groups are going to protest, march and even try to shut down the streets around the State Capitol in Phoenix, BUT there are a few who are going to try to peacefully show support for Arizona.. I just hope these violet protesters don't get a mess started that will cause much pain... I look almost for this to get quite out of hand as the supposed do gooder protesters always let their arrogance take over when they try to impress their peers..
Bottom line is .. It is a good time to send out vibes or prayers for peace instead of riots in this tough weekend. I have tried to call or mail some I know there showing my support for their stand and belief that their state is doing the right thing.. I will definitely try to search for the possibility of buying what I can to be shipped from their state as well as do what I can to spend money there. If I get a chance I will try to make another trip back there this year as I think they deserve any of us traveling there if we can..
God Bless Arizona and THANK YOU for doing the right thing... To the ones of you who support and are proud of your state for taking this step, I want you to know I am proud of you for standing up and doing right for the USA..
Happy Memorial Day

Joe wakes up in the morning Thanking God he got out of the city...

Joe knows he can make his coffee from his well water not having to worry about the destructive Fluoride of the city water.. He can feel comfort knowing his will not have that brain enhanced absorption of aluminum along with the other life long side effects of Fluoride. Joe knows it was a previous insecticide and rat poison which gets him concerned what trouble it can can cause his family.. Perhaps refraining from partaking in many of the NOT so tried NOT so true shots or public additives could be some of the success his family has in not having a need to take the synthetic drugs and medication so many others seem to need to take..
Sure it has been costly getting in an area that is NOT so regulated by the blind money grabbing bleeding hearts that follow every whim of NEW and IMPROVED gotta make change NOW regulations... It is for the health of his family he has had to get away from as much regulation as possible. It has been worth giving up every penny in wages and ego trips he has adjusted to since leaving the city.. He discusses with other like-minded concerned people why many prefer to NOT put all these synthetics in a natural body. He feels it might be killing people at a huge health cost. It seems a few gain money of the huge sales of many products... Can't people see to follow the money trail? Is this what is meant by some will believe a strong delusion and that they believe a lie? How can they be so deceived?
Can't so many see the STRONG regulations that have been put on Doctors and all medical practices. Can't people see regulations have made the cost go so high many can not afford insurance and many employers have had to drop their Insurance coverage for their people... In fact requirements put on employers is making wages and benefits go down or even making less jobs that can be afforded.. It is good Joe got out of the city where his family can live a bit more healthy and not need the insurance coverage that has been priced out of his and many others range long ago..
Joe finishes cooking the families bacon and eggs wondering how much genetic engineering has gone into the production of those products and how soon he should concern himself in finding a new source other than the NORMAL controlled stores to buy many products at.. He then thinks of all the money that changes hands with all the NEW laws that have enabled corrupt people to make money off the meat packing and food preparation industry. He realizes it has run the small farmer out of business because they can not afford to comply with the regulations. It has opened the door for huge companies who have so much money they can possibly pay an inspector to look the other way or even pay off a few large law suits and never feel they have lost a dime.. It is the cost of doing business. Yes that is the thing we hear so much anymore..OH wait, wasn't that the cry of what many called the groups years ago that required protection money be paid to them? Can't people just follow the money trail and see what is happening? Yep maybe time to get a few chickens...
Joe knows when he reaches for the shampoo or most anything there is very little reason to read the ingredients as they can use so many names of products to hide the true dangerous things included.. That will take time of research to find what all the names really are.. Thank God for some of the watch groups that are so hesitant of all the regulations and what they are hiding from us... Yes, many of them do a lot of the research helping the ones of us that do not want to follow along blindly without knowing what is being hidden.. Joe is so glad he has learned of many of the names that have Sodium lauryl sulfate, Propylene glycol or other dangerous ingredients in them.. He then wonders why all of that is legal with all the supposed safety regulations that have become laws.. Again he thinks how we have to follow the money and start understanding who owns what and who is making the money for others to look the other way...
When Joe finishes dressing and walks outside.. He is so thankful for all the years we progressed at a reasonable pace getting all the clean air acts in place giving time for business to comply instead of having to shut down as would have happened if all the protesters could have had their way wanting things to happen instantly.. Thank God for the responsible politicians we have had at times who care about the country and know the need to fix things slow enough small business can keep up as that is a must to keep the small independent from being taken over or ran out of business...
Joe looks out over the quiet countryside and thinks how he and many others voted in the negotiated taxes to help build mass transit systems with a many multi year plan that came at a cost reasonable to all while giving time for many business and people to relocate over a period of time instead of having their properties condemned throwing them out instantly... Even though he would be able to commute around the city well on those wonderful systems he is glad he no longer lives there...
Joe worries about the stress he knows is still killing the other small business persons he left behind in the city... He remembers the nights of tears and concern when he had to lay off a few more people because of the NEW regulations imposed on business wanting to demand benefits that business could not pay.. He remembers the additional regulations placed on business and the losses it has cost.. No one ever seemed to care many times the business owner never got a paid vacation, that they never got a paid holiday or sick day.. No one ever cared that the business owners did not even make minimum wage many times.. Many wanted to just demand Business pay more and pay it all.. He remembers back to the business that had to close because of regulations or unions coming in and there not being enough money left for the business to stay open.. He remembers all those out of work and the hunger and poverty they faced because the small business closed. Business owners were seldom ever given time trying to negotiate a fair change over a period of time, but a demand that made small business shut down and the big business to take over.. Yep, again time to follow the money trail and wonder what happened..
Joe remembers the days when compensation was at a reasonable rate the employer could afford to pay before the regulations made many plans so corrupt they milked the employer dry while then trying to deny all the claims they could to the worker by having taken any power from the employer to help their employees get a fair claim..
At noon Joe takes the minutes of his lunch hour as he runs to the bank finding it has a name change because one more bank has gone under since it was not one of the BIG mega bankers getting free bail out money or having the support of the huge conglomerate.. He then remembers back to the seventies when many of us WACKOS cried against letting the small banks be bought up by the big bankers and what a financial mess it would becomes some day.. While he is at the bank he transfers money to the individuals account to pay the house payment on a house loan he and the other individual had negotiated so they would not have to use any of the federal funds the banks try to sell..
Joe remembers the day when IQ was more important than some education paper that could say those with no common sense or care for humanity would rule with a dictatorial hand trying to cover up their insecure nature because they were afraid some hard working caring person would take their place.. They smirk when they think of how they may never pay their student loan back and how stupid it was of people like Joe who only took the few classes he could afford as he at the time thought he would NOT milk the government for payments. In fact at the time Joe did not want to feel he owed what he might not be able to pay back, but he is not sure now he would still refuse the money.. Joe is so glad that the Education Tax dollars he has voted for have finally been passed so more and more money was put into education for all the now days.. It is good to know some of what "We the People" vote on is not crushed or dictated over with unworkable bills..
Joe gets in his very safe car feeling so happy many of us were able to vote in a progressive safety standards set of laws that have been taking place over years making safety and economy a progressive thing to be proud of.. He wonders now why the drinking laws can not be passed making it illegal to drink anywhere it is illegal to smoke... He then decides most of the protesters might well be addicted to drink while they think it is cool... OH, but then he thinks of follow the money and wonders who makes the money off of liquor. Well, maybe soon they will allow drunk drivers to be charged with murder and instead of having DUI's, maybe they will be charged with potential to kill with a deadly weapon.. Well, those are laws that we can start voting on soon maybe.. Why not add some good regulations on the books since we already have so many frivolous ones placed there by special interest groups..
Joe realizes how thankful he is for things like the REA, TVA, RUS, PMA, CCC, CAW, WPA and other programs which did help much of rural America as well as put many to work... He then thinks of all the co-ops still operating today to help areas of low population have some of the buying power of the city.. Joe still wonders why all the bail out money was not put into some type of WPA program instead of giving it to people at the top.. He then wonders why many of the houses he has wanted to buy are still in the one percent of homes where electrical power has never been taken into..
Joe thinks and wonders if there will be any Social Security left by the time he is able to use it... He thinks of all the dollars taken from the fund and wonders how the government will handle the $2.5 trillion in IOUs from the federal government payable to the Social Security Administration now that it is common knowledge they are held in the form of Treasury bonds that can not be denied. Well, it does not matter.. it will be there or it won't.. Joe has worked hard all his life with NO one giving him vacation or holiday pay. He sure was not given any health care or retirement plan so he can work the rest of his life if he has to.. His Dad often said some of us pay our share while others take a lot of it because they want to get so much for nothing... Then he would add.. Someone has to work and pay taxes in this country to keep it great and free.
Joe then takes time with his family over a camp fire to enjoy nature and all this great country has to offer... The silence is wonderful broken at times when they hear the lapping of wave hitting the shore. Thank goodness some regulation has not kept them from gathering under brush to burn so they can help keep the forests cleaned up so some fire does not have so much to burn if some who are not knowledgeable lets a fire get out of hand..
As a family they bow their heads giving thanks for the food and the great country they live in.. Joe looks up at the stars saying: Remember , we must always keep our freedoms and fight against the huge amount of regulations some are trying to put on us..

She was someones mother, she was a wife..
You were the drunk driver who took her life.
Sure drinking is legal even in places you can"t smoke.
Yep, that is how laws are, ain't that a joke.
She's dead, she's gone, she does not live on..
You were drinking, laughing and enjoying the crowd.
Yea, I have seen many of you as you get so loud.
You say a few drinks, a few laughs, no big deal.
You pull out your keys and get behind the wheel..
She's dead, she's gone, she does not live on..
She's dead, she's gone, but you live on.
She had a small life in her, but that also is gone.
You still drink and laugh, two for one you might say.
BUT the two of them are not here living another day.
They are dead, they're gone, they do not live on..
Drinks for everyone, rackum up, you take another drink.
Who will be on the roads tonight, who do you think?
Will it be a single Dad or a van full of ?
Do you or others drinking think about what you did?
Many are dead, many are gone, many do not live on..
It could have been a bus load, or a family of six.
What do think as you drink to get your fix?
Why are you even back in any type bar,
especially after the insurance gave you another car?
She's dead, she's gone, she does not live on..
It could have been your wife or , even your mother.
Maybe it could have been your Dad, Sister or Brother.
What if they were dead, gone and not to live on?
What if a drunk driver hit them head-on?
She's dead, she's gone, she does not live on..

I saw the News on the TV.
People in countries are suffering immensely.
Many at the hand of those who inflict atrocity.
It is hard for me to watch and see.
BUT we can't help, I'm sorry we can not go.
I know your people are being subjected to a lot of pain.
Some are forced out of homes and live in the heat or rain.
I know some will never take another breath.
Some are tortured and even put to death.
BUT, I am sorry we can not go.
We don't want to loose people on your land.
Some don't want to walk your jungles or your sand.
We have protesters at corners and on our sidewalks.
Many want us to accomplish things with peace talks.
NOPE, sorry we can not go.
We have money worries and budget restraints.
Half of our people are full of complaints.
Last time there was NO Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Our people cry help was allowed with a lie and corruption.
NO, I am sorry we can not go..
We lost the conflict in Vietnam.
I guess some doubt the atrocities by Saddam.
They say we should not be in that war.
Many scream never again.. NO MORE.
I'm sorry we can't go.
Take care of your people, fix your own country,
We take care of our own as you see.
We aren't concerned about our popularity.
We take care of ourselves and need nobody.
I'm sorry we can not go.
So you have some starving almost skin and bones.
We have our people to take care of in our own homes.
Nope, we sure can not go,
I am sure you already know.
I'm sorry we can not go.
Take care of your people. It's your mess, find a fix.
We don't need to see all that stuff on the TV at six.
Get it taken care of and keep it off the News.
Seeing all of your problems gives us guilt and the blues.
Don't you HEAR? We will NOT go..

Life and Money is good these days compared to when we started out..

There is always so much talk about POOOOOR starting out.. or how money don't buy as much or on and on it goes.. BUT is that really so?
Even if we go by minimum wage or what ever we got when we started working.. Yep, some of us had a first job that did NOT pay the minimum, but lets say minimum or close to it.. AND then when we consider what we got for the amount, often it seems, in most cases, we had it way worse back then... Or at least for the things a BOY or wannnna be man felt he had to have.. OK, for you gottttta pick me apart types.. yep the ones that say I CAN NOT speak for ALL WANNNNA BE MEN.. I can talk of the things I thought I had to have...
An hours pay would buy you 7 to 10 sodas or POP as we called it. NOW, that same hour will get you probably about a case of sodaPOP, at least a 12 pack.. That hour would get you about 3 gallons of gas where now you will get the same three maybe 4 gallons depending... Our cars.. if you punched it and opened up the 4 barrel, three deuces or maybe the quadrafour/quadrajet would eat that hours pay worth of gas in just a couple minutes.. NOW if they PUNCH their 4x4 TOY PU or other screaming meany tight wound rubber banded go cart engines in THEIR GOTTA HAVE CARS.. if they do they will get WHAT, at least 15 minutes out of the gas.. shooot maybe they will even get a half hour..
What about car insurance? Seems to me being a MALE .. of course NOT MARRIED.. and GOD FORBID under 25 ... not even to mention when we had some ADD on for rates.. My insurance cost at least twice maybe more than the of today.. It at least cost as much as theirs does, but sure seems to me it cost way more. AND car prices almost percentage wise seem less NOW than they did back then, especially NEW cars when you compare at times want one of the smaller ones where we often wanted the HUGE MoPar.. NOW again if a person finds the OLD HAVE TO HAVE TOY PU 4x4 many boys today want it is about the cost of MY NEW MoPar.. that is a savings of about 6 months of work by the pay scale of today..
The "fill you up" hamburgers back then was 5 for a dollar, so I am sure that was a savings.. who knows.. Well, they were a single compared to Mackkkies or the KINGS doubles for a dollar that are out now, so I guess you would still be saving if you even got $5.00 worth today with figuring hourly wage... When you figure a buck was an hour of our work then the youth today are spending less than an hours pay to get 5 burgers.. BUT 3 will fill you as much or more than 5 of our singles filled us, so they can save 2 bucks on the burgers alone getting them almost an additional gallon of gas.. In fact to get the needed amount of "fill you up burgers" with today's pay leaves you with enough left over to buy almost 2 gallons of gas compared to what we had..
Soon enough you will see HOW I explain to my .. compared to me, THEY have their gas free with all they save.. BUT I still do NOT get it.. They shake their head, look at me funny and then ALL they say is DAD, can I have some money for gas..
Anyway.. We can figure all we want.. take a look at rent costs.. at utility bills or about anything we want and it is easy to see where MUCH is as cheap or cheaper than it was when we started out... NO, not dollar wise, but percentage wise.. AND you better bet your sweet bippy I have figured and figured this a few times as I try to talk with these boys and get past the guilt they want to push off on me about HOW HARD it is in the world today... GOD FORBID they ask me DAD how did YOU ever start out.. Yep, I explain this and a LOT more to them ...YES, percentage wise MOST things are cheaper than when I STARTED... THEN if that all fails I tell them I married an OLDER RICH woman as I tell them to get the frick out and go back to work..
DON'T tell me it is harder today than it was way back or when I was starting out.. JUST do the math and feel sorry for ME... DON'T think I will feel sorry that any have to have CABLE or their BIG SCREEN TV and all the other gadgets or I will shut off the water and build an outhouse.. DON'T talk to me about the cost of clothes and shoes or I will show you what it is like to have 2 pairs of shoes.. one pair a year. and to try to rotate 3 or 4 pairs of pants and about 4 or 5 shirts.. I am telling you, we can live a long time buying clothes with the price of ONE TV.. ONE month of Premium Cable will go a LONG way buying "fill you up" hamburgers.
I am here to tell you.. LIFE don't get any better than we have it today..
