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

Kansas was underrated. Somehow they got lumped in with arena rock bands. But the critics’ disdain was really just an early manifestation of the coastal elites’ contempt for flyover country and anything cultural that it produced.
Sorry about that. Moved Kansas to the next post up. Didn’t want to duplicate.
The only thing you can count of from the american communists is the enormous volume of their lies.
Really, lying is the base of their entire operation, and that includes all the siblings like deceptions, double talk, misspeaks, diversions, false accusations, and all around fakeness.
They, the american communists, are a disadvantage to others so if you were the king of the world what would you do with them?
Mass murder?
Caged?
Banished to an island 5000 miles away with satellite surveillance and no supplies?
Or just cut them off from ALL gov’t services, tax them at double the normal rate, and prevent them from voting and possessing blades and firearms?
I tell young people that when they were born in America they hit the jackpot. It is up to them what they do with the winnings. President Trump keeps making that jackpot bigger.
