We think we are free
Bank moguls control the world
Media obeys
Castigate to submission
One world order forming now
BLT Webster’s Word of the Day
mogul 7-6-24
A powerful and influential person
Castigate 7-5-24
A formal word that means to criticize harshly synonym in chastise to punish to censor someone

Living in a bubble.,we think we are free. But in reality we are controlled by everything we hear and everything we see

A type of haiku
Using metaphors similes to convey complex elaborate ideas, and allows for more expanded exploration more then a haiku. a short story
31. Syllables five line 5–7–5 – 7–7.

I don't vacation
in Babylon anymore.
The ticket prices soared
and the trip
almost killed me.
Years of
debauchery weren't
good for the soul.

The only gold I
want now is the
autumn leaves and
the buttery summer corn,
and the shimmer on the
lake at sunset.

I'm getting older and
my heart is stronger.
It beats like a
childs, seeing
green for the first
time.

Never liked the news
What got their hooks
Was reading books

Independent journalists
Had a different take
Than the media's stake

This can be a lonely path to choose
Keep you're mouth shut
Or friends you loose

Watching what they say
Like watching an actor in a play
Maybe it will change
One day?

It’s so much more than
Hotdogs  potato salad
Patriotism

Do people realize
The price cost paid  for freedom
Soldiers died for us

People disrespect
Burn our flag hate our country
Rewrite history

Destroy monuments
Protest hate woke division
Social Marxist change

Rights to opinion
When is your voice a weapon?
Riots escalate

What is their purpose?
To create a Civil War?
Complete take over

Terrorist come in
We watch Civil War begin
Take over who wins?

How can we see clear?
What is next for our country?
Stand or will she fall?

7-4-24 patriotism
A person who loves her country
Renku
a series of haiku one person makes a statement or ask a question the next person replies, and that continues until you come to a conclusion,
it’s a collaborative effort of poets
However, I was the poet on consecutive days replying to the question from different points of you. It’s rather hard to do.

Silence is golden
Don’t air your *****, laundry,
Keep matters private
There are some matters that should be personal private. We’ve become a society who offers too much information. It puts an individual in a precarious situation. Once something becomes public it’s knowledge for ever. Internet, trolls  people trying to steal your identity, the more information you reveal the more you invite calamity

I wanted to Serve
I Volunteered to Serve.
I Knew what I was Doing.
I Would do it Again.

Thank God
For people like these
An American Patriot
Though and Though

A call to arms
Field loyalty
The Conditions for
coming to America

Millions of soldiers died
For  the price of freedom
Those who want
to come to America

Must serve in the military
There are many positions ,
Women want equal rights
a mandatory two years  

before they can become a
United States citizen.
They must go through
the nationalization process ;

Learn English
Choose to assimilate
Into the great melting ***
Called America

Criminals, breaking a law
have no place here
They will be returned to their country
Not allowed to return

after learning our laws
The bill of rights, constitution,
the ceremony swearing allegiance
to our country Welcome to America.

There are many ways to serve
I’m tired of people acting
like they deserve to be here
In Battle, war, or  reserve

We all have a price to pay
If they don’t want to comply
No need to ask why,
No Documents no enter

If they ditch their ID,
So they can’t be identified
And we find it on the ground,
Now we have their face in a database
.
Send them packing.
I’m sure they’ll
come up with an ID.
nothing is FREE
.
If they’re caught hiding
A Got Away found
They refused our terms
If they came within nefarious intent
An Attempted coup take over
GO HOME

That’s what’s happening now
Illegals are taking over our cities and towns
When you see 100,000 Palestinians protest
We need to learn  who is illegitimately here.

Patriot7-4-24
A person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies, detractors, foreign and domestic. A true patriot.

A family member made a statement today
Many of his friends died for the cause .
This is my response draft written4-11-24
I know this is a horrible mess now, but children and women and boys are sold into Slavery. Our soldiers bite and died for our country. Not for this to happen. We need to start to think about how to restore control before it’s too late and we’re on the brink now. Happy Fourth of July. Read the constitution today and remember what we fought for to be free. Remember, all of those soldiers who died for our great nation. Sure we have problems. Nothing is perfect but we strive to be better.
