On Giving Thanks
Once upon a time, we knew that life
Never guarantees us anything,
Given that, why not just plunge a knife
Into your heart? No form of nannying
Vitiates vicissitude, and yet
Imagination hopes to set aside
Natural Law which says w’re all in debt.
God, the Source of Life, can just provide
The chance to be whatever we can be.
Happiness is found along the way ~
Achieving what we can with Charity.
No panacea can this truth gainsay.
Kings and Vassals ~ equal in God’s sight ~
Should each give thanks as they fight the good fight.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Silver. It's hard work, but somehow we keep trying to penetrate the carapace of cynicism, laziness, profound lack of curiosity, lack of imagination and sheer bigotry peopl bild arund themselves that keeps most in a kind of mental bondage that drives wedges between between themselves and others. A tragic aspect of the Human Condition.

DeleteBeing deliberately difficult is a poor substitute for cleverness or genuine erudition.

ReplyDeleteThere once was a time when the President was honored, the Police were respected, newborns were treasured, and our Veterans were revered.
ReplyDeleteWhat as happened to our country, so fast, and so terribly hard?
If I may answer my own question!
DeleteWhile President Trump was making things happen for the better, the Democrats have none nothing at all ever since President Trump was elected other than trying their best to get him impeached. The time and the money spent is a shame and a sin. Trump is making America Great again without a drop of help from the Democratic party, the party of Sore-Losers. And that my friend is NOT what America is all about.
The Stock market is at an ALL-TIME high, unemployment at a ALL-TIME low. I', not going to repeat all the accomplishments that he has made because I'm sure that you know them and that your read them a thousand times...
So all you Progressives, and you Socialist Democrats, you had better buckle up, your going to have Mr. Trump for another 5 years.
