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.

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

What do you call people that say they want to solve problems they created?
They never solve anything, they just create more problems.
Paid for by you.
Well, if I lived in Alabama she’d have my vote!
(And I’m so glad to not get a 404 when I accessed comments! Thanks, Gerard!)
Savvy lady. I wish her well.
Ghostsniper around here we call them Commie Bastards.
I would vote for her.
Everything about this lady spells CLASS. A true American in spirit and courage. I would vote for her.
Ghostsniper is on target in regards to Jessica Taylor. Here’s the thing. While Taylor is hitting all the right melodic notes in that ad, which sing sweetly in conservative folks’ ears, and she’s attractive to boot, I’ll bet serious money that she already has a little list of new bills/laws she would like to see instituted. Until such time as political candidates get up on their soapboxes and state unequivocally that they desire to be elected so that they can begin the dismantling the bureaucratic state under which Americans suffer, rather than institute new rules, regs, laws, etc., all are simply blowing smoke. Trump is the only individual in political office who has made that promise. He’s delivering a little here and there, but his efforts are continually attempted to be thwarted by Demorats, and Republirats, in both the House and the Senate. Politicians are not Americans’ friends.
John Venlet has hit the nail on its head!
More than any new legislation, we desperately need to winnow out the multiplicity of laws we have that don’t work, or don’t do what was hoped they’d do, or have bad unforeseen side-effects.
These days, all of us commit at least three crimes every day, I’ve read; these are crimes on the lawbooks, but none of us even realize that we’re committing them since we’ve never heard of them & don’t even know of their existence. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse,” though, so if we get arrested & charged we have no defense.
I long for the days of old when felonies were obvious, and everybody knew what they were; nowadays lots of things that aren’t capital offenses, or even bad crimes, are felonies, though I don’t think they should be. A person can lose their 2nd Amendment right to own a gun forever, just by being accused of domestic violence; that’s a misdemeanor if convicted, but in many places no conviction is even necessary because of “Red Flag Laws” which are on-their-face unconstitutional (but so are almost all gun control laws.)
Let’s mow down the field of bad laws, and put a Sunset Clause on any new ones that are passed!
The 19th Amendment and women’s involvement in politics have corrupted the American body politic.
