Farewell Brave Warrior!
Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideas, not the negation of others. Dare to the leval of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.
Alexander Haigh Jr.
Diplomacy
The art of telling someone to go to hell,
and having them look forward to the trip.
Never be afraid to try something new,
Remember, amateurs built the ark.
Professionals built the Titanic.

PHILOSOPHICAL PONDERING ON POWER
The times are chaotic
and the world is changing
all around me and I
feel swept up in the confusion.
False promises are spread out
like marmalade on toast,
and the innocent believe
because they are unaware
of the half-truths uttered
by the false prophets.
And I, a poet am not sure
how to counteract
the false veneers worn
by these charismatic deceivers.
Some nights, I cannot sleep
pondering where can I
begin to deal with
the evil of these men.
I look to the heavens,
but nothing falls but rain.

Message To Obama
No president in the history of this country has ever sealed his educational records until you were elected to office. What is it that you are hiding? Some offered the notion that you came to the country as a foreign student and are not really a citizen of this country, and therefore not eligible to be president.
Since I heard you bragging that you took courses under as many Marxist professor as possible in college, and now have yourself surrounded with communist czars, I suspect it is more likely that you were involved in Marxist and other radical groups and didn’t want the people of this country to know your radical beliefs. I think they have become aware of them though.
My ancestors dumped the English tea in the Boston Harbor when they felt they were taxed unjustly. Once again the people in this country are rebelling with the tea party movement protesting your unjust taxations. You need to listen to the people in this great democratic country. You will not succeed in making it into a communist regime. Our power was built on capitalism and freedom. It will prevail. Listen to the people’s voices! We are not mindless peasants, but political knowledgeable citizens still filled with the Sprit of 1776.

The Leader
It was not the best of times,
but the worse of times in the nation.
The economy had collapsed
and unemployment was rampant,
but then HE appeared.
He had charisma and spoke
with such elegance. His words
seduced the crowds and
blurred their vision.
He promised the world.
He gave them hope,
so in submissive
innocence and ignorance,
they fell in line behind him
like sheep going to the slaughter.
The people were not visionaries
and could not see
the ruin lying ahead.
It has been said that those
who do not learn the lessons
of history will be doomed
to repeat them.

You have died leaving
a hollow hole in my heart.
Your portrait is mirrored
against the fading twilight.
President John F. Kennedy stated,
“Life isn’t fair,” and yours
certainly wasn’t.
With all your family killed
in World War II, you lived
in the bombed-out ruins
of Germany as a child,
Hungry and without warm clothing,
the Americans came and gave you
food and a warm coat, and you
decided you would come to
America someday. At fourteen,
you worked in a factory to
save the money. However your life
in America did not fulfill
your dreams, and it ended with
Parkinson’s and lung cancer
that ate into your spine and bones.
A good part of the world believe
in reincarnation. Having paid all
your bad karma in this life,
I see you returning as
a German Princess,
shrouded in fine clothes,
an enchanting smile on your face,
surrounded with an adoring
crowd of admirers. You will have riches,
but I already have had mine,
the richness and beauty of your love
and the warmth of your friendship.
Travel well my friend on your new journey.
Perhaps we will meet again.
Destiny remains the unknown factor.
