lethargic Society
Lacks propriety
Depression anxiety
Seek psychiatry
A slave to debt conformity     
         
Life is spicy dicey Everyday
Lackadaisical to dismay
Oblivious ,lips move, nothing to say
Impervious layer of, Blinded by hate
Living in an Altar’d state
Overcoming obstacles  my fate

Climb up and over the mountaintop
Hold on for dear life don’t fall, don’t stop
Be The little train Engine that could
FOR YOU not because you should
Getting up, after the fall reveals it all

Mother       
Used to say
If
  Everybody
                 Jumped
                           Off
                               A
                                 Cliff
                                      Would
               ­                                 You
                            ­                        ?

Most Colleges Lack of truth and knowledge
Have developed an ambivalent ethos why
Bull horns, disruption chants, battle cry
Burning our flag Americans must die

A breeding ground for distention
Studies lack focus On subject retention
College has become a platform
For protests by illegals to transform

America ‘s cold civil war from within
We’re on the brink, of fighting to begin
Most Americans live in a bubble
They sense it, but don’t realize the trouble

Will America be taken to her knees
Capitulate what extremist believes
We fight for the freedom as before
Standing at a precipice watchers once more

Not my WILL but God’s will
Prophecies will fulfill
Our destiny and plan
What God has in store for His land

Most will not be ready
Disillusion, thirsty, starvation ,not steady
Trouble is on the Horizon heed the call
Judgments will affect One at all

A plethora of prophecies come to fruition
Education appreciable increases in tuition
Government funding is needed
Hidden true superseded

Appreciable
California has a couple of measures on the ballot. One of them is for additional education funding they say it’s for making better buildings. However prop 98 was put into law that required California to use 40% of their budget on education and repairs. Now they’re asking for another 10 billion in bond, bonds are paid back with interest over 35 years so the return is 18 billion. We already owe 98 billion debt to big banks and investors. California doesn’t know how to manage your money. I’ve also observed a decline in enrollment from all grades. people leaving California.. what’s  alarming is there’s three bills that the Republicans say it’s a good thing we should vote for them.However, if you look a little further, those three are back by the Democrats auspicious and they’re the worst thing you would ever read let alone want to vote for. a”I don’t care who is promoting it. People should not take the quick version or sound bites and read between the lines. because this election really matters. we are electing three board members for the Board of Education. This hasgot  to be the lowest bottom barrel dwellers I’ve ever seen. One has a photo and next to her school desk it’s a mother for freedom. Crossed out .I had to look up that group  are for people who don’t want their children to learn *** in kindergarten inappropriate teachings . Meaning she’s against the parents. Moving. moving onto the next candidate, who has two felonies and has pending court issues. The next person brought a gun to work to show the other people( on the board of education( there’s a legal suit for that. Embezzlement it’s Cray crazy. I was hard-pressed to find one person out of the list with any Recognition of normality. No wonder our schools are messed up. it doesn’t matter what the position is it matters no more funding for schools. They Don’t teach our children reading, writing, and arithmetic, especially when they already have appropriate funding to do so and they’re not doing it. No more bills imposed laws that is supposed to make the government not spend inappropriately. Give them more money because they didn’t do it the first time. Color me frustrated. Vote early your vote counts

The Fugacious hurricane came and went
Useless helpless frustration spent.
The power of prayer Was in the air
Swirling Destruction everywhere

I know better than to worry
Life is always in a hurry
Florida’s Milton hurricane
Had my emotions insane

Predicted to be in the path way
Evacuation at all costs, they say
Phone numbers on your body pray
To notify next to kin if you stay

Predicted a category five house ******
It turned out to be category 3 pretender
15 to 17 ‘ water surge and flooding
Was mild mostly an accumulation of mud

by the grace of God, it grew in size
20 miles north  October surprise
A much wider hurricane appeared
Relief for some Florida’s shift of fears

That’s not to say some were worse for wear
Most Lost power, High winds House, tares
My grandson felt underwhelmed
No Gas he had to stay prayed at the helm

Extreme Wind and Rain Power out
Craziest worry turned to relief doubt
Was this as bad as it will get
Guesstimates It all fell short

All the media hype predictions fizzled
The hurricane rain turned to drizzle
The aftermath clean up will take awhile
People emerged tears grateful smile

Inspired song
Dust in the wind

Fugacious 10-17-24
is a formal word that describes something that lasts a short time

My 21 year old grandson, newly married women prior him and his new bride live in Florida. They were right in the Projected path. They couldn’t get gas. They had no choice to stay. Thank goodness it landed further north, and white in the eye.  They are still without power and can’t get around but they’re safe and sound.

Can be useful today
Treat others respect communicate convey

I am one of eight kids
These topics take top bids

Your voice should be lovely
A little above a whisper.

If your residence does not
improve the silence

Mums the word
(Stay quiet)

That was the
official version of;

If you don’t have
anything nice to say

Don’t say anything
Shush

I grew up with
Emily Post
Etiquette
How about you?

We were young ladies in training
Not much explaining

We were
Graciously taught
How to act
What to say

Prim and Proper
Act like a lady
Don’t stock or
Act shady

Walk with Grace
Tie your shoe lace

Set up don’t slouch
sit up straight ouch

Knees together,
feet to the side

Don’t sit with  
legs open wide

Undergarments
One should hide

Don’t scream,
say what you mean

A Lady’s, touch
Means so much

A lady should glide
Through the room

Full of cheer,
Not with gloom

Alway dress
Your Sunday best

Modesty is
Kin to chastity

Emily Post’s
Etiquette

Provides a perfect rendition
Of a girl in transition

Our mistakes exacted a heavy price
Precision demure demeanor nice

Hope more than maybe
Growing of a lady

The most important battle
A woman fought

Struggle to win a
Suitable spouse taught

Is what girls strive for
To be an elegant Lady and more

To be a Lady of substance



Inspired song
1) Lady by Styx 1973
