There was a time you could walk down the streets of America,
and we had our similarities wanting to raise children and grow old together.
We had faith in God, and each other, though we shared cultures and individuality.
We worked hard and helped each other.
Now anyone who does not believe in extreme liberal views to the detriment of others is considered the enemy and encouraged to keep quiet or go away.
You have a voice per the First Amendment, USE IT!
Take your ballot, sign and date in the red box, put it in the BALLOT box.
If we do not fight for the America which welcomed ALL people with Liberty’s torch held high, it will be gone forever.
America will only be remembered by those who have passed away.
America will become:
The Memory of Ghosts
I was speaking with a gentleman,
Who sat next to me in a breeze,
With such a gentle face,
He had a kindness in his eyes.
There was a burden in my heart,
Which he seemed to feel and know,
Concerning what happens to us,
When people forget how to remember.
He spoke of a hotel across the lake,
Long since torn down,
Where nameless people strolled,
Over a hundred years ago.
They lived and they loved,
They dreamed and they died,
Yet if energy is not created,
Their love could never die.
He said my pain is in feeling,
The wordless whispers on the wind,
The experiences and voices long past,
Whose passion flies free like the birds.
This is fuel for the fire of the heart,
Of histories and culture once lived,
In places which no longer stand,
Connecting me to where I’ve once been.
To hold a piece of history in my hand,
Conveys an energy familiar and true,
And to live with all this in my heart,
Makes it all breathe alive once again.
He said remember the souls that were here,
Remember their love never died,
Carry their flame in your heart,
And shine that love through your eyes,
In that park we sat and we spoke.
In that park I turned to hear a sound.
When I looked to him again he was gone.
