So how come we don't have one of these already? I mean we're not mindless hearless conservatives, it's okay for us to share this stuff. so pull out your best poetry you've written and share. I'll start with a Poem I wrote about a five years ago called: Take heed gentle, sailor
Oh, gentle sailor with winds a’blowin
Can you see your destination?
Or even where you’re goin’?
The tides will toss,
The winds will blow,
Then the spirits shall be lost.
You cast your nets,
And take your fill.
Never with any regrets.
You sail straight through
The fog of glory,
Ignorant of what storms may brew.
Take heed gentle sailor, take heed.
Ambition is good; it’s food for the soul.
But don’t let it turn into greed.
For the wake of your boom
Will expand beyond sight,
And could possibly spell your own doom.
Oh, gentle sailor with winds a’blowin
Can you see your destination?
Or even where you’re goin’?
Beware! For beyond that great mist
Lies a wonderful world,
But only if you put down your fists.

1If I hear "crony" capitalism one more time I'm going to be ill. Capitalism is capitalism, dog eats dog and one dog ends up on top, and he defends that place with all the power he's accumulated.
