Split
We are split
What a surprise
Bear it with grit
Seek a compromise
There needs to be a better way
Then argue and fight
In a constant dreadful fray
Of whom is right
But no one is righteous
If they lie and cheat
Manufacturing a crisis
With a simple tweet
Multiplying unto social media
With no concern for the truth
Told in an encyclopedia
Or from the book of our youth
There are laws
Which are not followed
Million enter without a pause
It is hard to swallow
Come in legally
As the law requires
Showing respect and decency
Not like brush fires
Rushing from place to place
Destroying here and there
An outlandish race
Without any care
There are thefts
There are deaths
There are rapes
There are murders
And for what reason
Or righteous cause
Is it the season or treason
Or just because
Kamala the Border Czar
Did nothing to stop it
Acting like a film star
Not using her wit
An attorney general
Who knows the rules
Satisfying the Democratic electoral
Along with many other fools
It must end
And soon
To reverse this trend
Before high noon
The fractions will divide more
Ending in a civil war
With plenty of gore
From shore to shore
Category: Lie
Politics
Politics
Do you think they all lie
And not tell us the truth
Making me want to cry
You must be a sleuth
To figure out the falsehoods
Because they all tell them
Ruining our neighborhoods
Thinking we are dumb
Immigration
Too many immigrants are not good
Especially when we have laws
We have known since childhood
But it supports their cause
Build a wall
And enforce the statutes
Construct welcoming halls
And perform interviews
Teach them English
And United States history
What skills do they distinguish
And they will not be a mystery
Who are these people
Why do they come free
Make them townspeople
So we welcome them with glee
.
Poor
Too many impoverished and poor
Not earning enough to live
Live in grandeur
Or even to thrive
Why
Why can they not make a living
Where they can be healthy and spry
Is it our fault for giving
And not making them earn with grit
But there should be a safety net
But not permanent dependence
Where they act like a house pet
Giving too much
And not making them earn it
We gave many a crutch
With too much dependance
Healthcare
People deserve healthcare
Which does not make them broke
But I must swear
It is just a big joke
Redo the healthcare borders
Allowing it throughout the nation
Not prescribed to regional areas or orders
Or to a persons credit station
Putting people in debt
So they can be healed
Is a poor bet
Leading to the paupers field
Every problem can be fixed
If people want them fixed
Do politicians want them fixed
Or do they want bank accounts fixed
Lobbyist protecting their turf
Paying out gigantic sums
While we all burst
Fighting over the crumbs
Everyday people are left with poor choices
And listening to politicians is a waste
Because they do not listen to our voices
Leaving me with a bad taste
Injustice
Injustice
What is injustice
Do we really know
Or is it trust us
Just go with the flow
The flow of slavery
Was the cry
Requiring bravery
Resulting in many to die
A Civil War
Many killed
On Americas shore
The Union fulfilled
A mighty victory
Freeing the slaves
Lincolns valedictory
Following him to the grave
Abortion a cry today
Millions killed before they are born
A legal fray
America torn
Do unborn have rights
Or they live beings
Shining living lights
With thoughts and feelings
Many do not think so
But they thought that long ago
Slaves had no ability to grow
Grow their intelligence past Jim Crow
Unable to vote
Unable to own
Unable to integrate
Unable to relate
But they were alive
And they were given birth
A dream to strive
On this earth
But not the aborted
Never given a chance
Their lives thwarted
Before given a chance to dance
Dance with breath
Dance with a cry
Dance with a hug
Dance with a kiss
Why
Why do they not matter
Abortion is a lie
It is not a womans right
A baby in the womb
Is a God given life
Give the unborn a chance to bloom
And end this strife
Seek the justice
A living human being deserves
Our consciousness should confront us
And upset our nerves
Our nerves need to tingle
And know what is true
A fetus is a living human
Just like me and you

Uplifting Poems About the Death of a Loved One
Autobiography
My autobiography of poetry over the last fifty-eight years. Ha ha ha! I laugh too. I am a businessman who is retired, and he is trying to stay busy. I have no real talent at writing any type of writing except Quality Assurance Programs, Business Plans, Bible Study Notes, Business Price Quotes, Business Memos, Loan Requests, Consulting Reports, and all things business.
Journey of My Life
Uplifting Poems About the Death of a Loved One is a journey of my life, especially in the last five years. I have struggled through medical issues for these five years, including depression and anxiety. I am challenged with the belief that I have a disease that is not diagnosed, and I am going to die. True or not true, that is what I believe. He first book of poems works up to this obsession with death. The book of poems ends with hope.
Medical History last Five Years
History 2020
All symptoms, and if anything, they are worse. They vary based upon all kinds of factors.
One trip to Mayo Clinic, and nothing has changed except new symptoms. All they can tell me is to wait for it to manifest itself. There are no more tests and no more doctors. Thank the number one hospital in the world. Five visits are enough.
New Symptoms 2020
- My brain locks up, and I can not talk. I know what I want to say, but it will not come out of my mouth. I am down 3 to 5 minutes, and then it comes out of me.
- I cannot walk and do two things. If I am walking and I try to stir the soup or something on a plate or count something, then I fall left to the right, stop moving forward, and cannot talk. I can move backward then stop doing everything and reset. I can then walk forward.
History 2019
I quit going to doctors in 2019. After 48 doctors for so many things, I am sick of doctors, and I quit going after Mayo Clinic and Vanderbilt appointments at the first of the year. They used the exact same words – You need to wait for it to manifest itself. These issues persist:
- Feet hurt, numb, and tingle
- Hands hurt, numb and tingle
- Neck hurts
- Dizzy
- Foggy
- Forgetful
- Slow
- Shy away from bright lights
- Falling backward or sideways
- Unable to announce words, maybe stutter
I have quit chasing the cause of these, and I am just trying to live with them now. I have done an excellent job with reduced symptoms all of 2019 and in the months of August and September, especially. In those months, I had almost no symptoms at all.
I want to go on a new medicine which will cut the edge. I do not know if I have stress or anxiety. When I am off amitriptyline, I am more emotional. I rush to agitation, and frustration is quicker. The anger is not rage but similar without yelling and screaming. Well, George does not think this is a correct statement anymore. My friend and I talked about it being more adrenaline rushes. I am getting pumped up for something. I do not know what?
- Jan to Dec– Everything occurs under many different combinations and circumstances
- Feb – Joint Specialist
- Jan – Blood Clots – hematologist – stay on the blood thinner
- Jan -Vein Specialist – nothing to do with four blood clots. The leg will swell and hurt
History 2018
Mayo and Patterson Physical Therapy ( Beth Patterson and Cynthia Thomson) in Jackson, Tennessee, worked on these my knee, calf, and hip, and the majority of the pain have gone away. A combination of shoe orthotics, lost weight, exercise, yoga, and more expensive tennis shoes. I do not consider this a significant issue, just a nuisance.
I went to Mayo Clinic 4 times, and they eliminated all significant organs, diseases, etc. as possible candidates. They believe I have to wait for it to manifest itself into one block for a diagnosis. They took me off amitriptyline and put me on Lexapro – anxiety medicine, but that made my symptoms worse. I got off Lexapro. I went back on amitriptyline until Dec 2019.
I have seen 15 doctors over the past few years for a variety of issues, and I am trying to eliminate problems to find the root cause so I can feel better. All of these sometimes happen all the time, and sometimes one or two at a time. But it is something every day.
