Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

“……..but, we are criminally minded betrayers of our own country and President”.
But nothin’ !
Obammy kilt hundreds of MidEast critters without prosecution, including one american dude, with drone strikes.
I saw a cartoon with Salami’s severed hand, complete with ring, and holding a bag of Obama cash. The trouble for the dems is: we remember. We remember everything you sacks of shit have done. And, we are pissed.
But, However….
OK, what’s the deal here, do these people get a “media honey do” list every morning that they must memorize and then go out and smear their greasy mugs all over over as many vid cams as possible?
If not, they are doing a pretty good simulation that they do.
This has been going on throughout the Trump reign and every time it goes the same way – mass puppetry.
And this is what suffices for leaders running this country?
Hope you don’t mind, and I don’t give a shit if you do, I’ll have none of it.
Make sure to pick up a copy of my new book on amazon, “Finding Freedom In Prison”, thanx, Mgt.
Ghost nails it, as usual.
Who is the left wing-pinko-marxist-commie trash that writes up these lame-ass talking points then disseminates it to the Demo-pukes for regurgitation? What a bunch of hollow sock puppets.
If Obama had zapped this Saladvanilla puke, the media would have been praising him for it. Obama gave the go-sign for SEAL Team 6 to go zap Binladen and there were no concerted objections to how it was done. As Americans we were unified in knowing he met Jesus. FFS.
…but he’s dead.
The but people emerged after 9/11 and enraged me.
ghost, I guess you don’t listen to Rush. He does this all the time compiling examples of leftist garbage mouthpieces bleating the exact same slogans.
Read both of Rush’s books in the early 90’s and by the late 90’s I couldn’t listen to his 1 sided grandstanding any more. The criminals are on both sides and down the middle. I haven’t listened to him in many years.
In the bigger picture the band RUSH’s amazing drummer Neil Peart lost the fight with brain cancer this past Tues. My favorite rock band of all time.

… But! We cannot accept that this a win for President Trump!
If he did this then it is a bad thing, probably will cause Climate Change…. or something else that’s bad, and as soon as we figure out what that is we’ll impeach him for it!
