O thou great Jefferson in whom dwelled the fidelity of a nation of free men. Thy secretes can be viewed as we watch you live and breathe the life of a grand Virginia planter When one is a student of nature and observes its subtle lessons becomes its master and ally. The next Step of going to lead men is reasonable when taken into count the natural gifts that were refined in Quiet fields and hills in lengthy times of treasured solitude that is not to say there won’t be difficulties But to a merchandiser of lofty thoughts this is of little consequence. There are issues that must be Divined through the protracted business of hard arduous study. Man’s soul drifts in and out of the valley And hills taking unconsciously truths that exist they are everywhere but can be buried in life’s clamor. To purposely walk across a field with your with your senses open will usher you into a place quiet Unsettling if you are one who is uneasy in your own thoughts because the vistas will allow your mind to Extend it to the far reaches ordinary thoughts will jump over conventional restraints and give you Profound insights Jefferson graduated from this school of higher learning for this very important time This man of stature arose he flung freedom’s door wide open walked through set down at his desk and Masterfully penned immortal words, to this day time hasn’t diminished any of their importance or there Revered excellence this document would go unparalleled in type and execution, in forming the basis for Human conduct it would forever alter the landscape that that had existed before its grand arrival. The stinginess of former centuries were at long last over the mind had finally Liberated the body the willingness to do for one’s self had taken the lead there was no Turning back, these actions would recommend them as a people. Their credentials intact now they were Ready for the world stage a new birth of nobility walked into the human condition and it wasn’t In the least bit hesitant to speak thoughts that had long been silenced. The trouble today stems from the lack of understanding we have about the truth, Of what oppression would be unleashed if our form of government would be allowed to be dissolved we Love the dream but deplore the reality. That this system will only work when we are involved. It has a Built in detection device, you can’t use its rewards without paying it back with service. The results will be contagious you will be left with a weak sickly government. The remedy simple everyone has to be its central guardian.

We might not like it but we are making a choice freedom will be loosed or bound by our decision. The product that we deal with is very supple and ever changeable it becomes whatever form you pour it Into this is in accordance with its nature it also is a gauge of those that handle its virtues and shows if You have had reverence or contempt. You will be left with honor or disgrace did you carry forth the gift Or allow it to waver the children of the next generation are watching.
Streaks of Jefferson
In freedom’s blessed glorified sky through streaks of immortal gold his visage we behold He looks upon the fields of liberty that he and the founding fathers sowed he sees the Richness America has become he also beheld her struggles catastrophic wars abroad And the most painful the one that divided the nation marred it with southern and northern Blood saw the affable the sad giant Lincoln take the reins of discontent hold them by Shear will and with uncommon sagacity guided it back in line to fulfill its destiny as the Powerful fount that would always pour forth waters of freedom for all of earths peoples Total unconditional acceptance of liberty and all the fruit it bears to establish a Government like no other this golden grain has waved under bluest skies and brightest Sun light its rich harvest has gone to darkest prison cells Mandela was sustained by it For twenty nine years and by its moral purity it fed the lives of those that over threw Apartied and Mandela finally freed by principals it avows rose from prison clothes To wear the mantle of president of his country and the honor of the man instilled Quality that transcended political office Jefferson not to be disrespectful to his progeny Whispers today’s politicians could do well to look on this African model of good Stewardship of public trust with that Jefferson faded back into the mist pray that’s Not the fate of this country
Most hated twins
Who are these two desperate characters revered but feared by all To make their acutance few will volunteer those who know them well All can tell by the drawn face and the tears that swell the pool where wisdom has her rule Achievers welcome them as honored guest they withstood the test now they the richest blest At mornings first blade of light they strike with all their might they the quickest to fight Timorous to afraid how many have dwelt by waters undying well only to die unfulfilled But others tried and they fell the well is to deep its where darkest shadows creep We will be lost in these new surroundings the familiar there will be water there too Yes stagnant unmoved guarded for naught its benefit was for the traveler going places For you it will be your grave marker he talked and talked but venture on never He said he was the clever one as his countenance slowly turned to stone killed by apathy Green pastures call to find them in yourself health you will install Few are they that were meant and born to reside in the same place you must go If you stay rebuild the common and ordinary your monument then they will admire Who stood to long and with all intention he gave it only words action was the wonder that was missing Treading a narrow path in the end if you buried or squandered your talent divine wrath you will face Cast your seed far and wide how can you not see the need sorrow has them tied Push back the encircling darkness with the light in your heart that God did endow Go and answer the door your guides are here I want you to meet two friends Pain and Adversity Two finer companions you will never know Washington and his men befriended them at Valley Forge Concord, York town. Lincoln met them first at Bull Run Antietam I think he gave a little speech at Gettysburg. One birthed a nation the other saved a divided one.
