Conservative Poet Tom Zart's = LINCOLN'S WAR & OBAMA'S
by Tom Zart LINCOLN'S WAR & OBAMA'S THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR In 1860 life was good Till its simpleness ceased one day. The North wished to save the Union While the South chose to break away. America was torn apart As six hundred thousand died. Throughout four years of total war Women without husbands cried. The sad fact of the Civil War Is what was left at its end. Too many times, men's evil acts Destroyed both foe and friend. The problem was, once it began There was no peace or compromise. Total victory must be proclaimed Before rage would leave men's eyes. Destroy all that helps the enemy Was the cry of either side. Anything to obtain victory As death on horseback did ride. Black men dressed in old uniforms Became the Union's reserve. They fought and died for their freedom And their rights they earned and deserve. Lifestyles would forever change For all who survived the war. It had ended as it began With sadness, misery and more. Both sides prayed to the same God And spoke words from the Bible. The prayers of both were not answered For all involved were liable. SLAVERY When you chain the neck of a slave The other end fastens to you. Your heart and soul become corrupt And all which is evil you'll do. No government shall exist for ever Who's people are not really free. Though around the world there are those Who stay blind to how life should be. Any who must enslave others Will dwell in their own living hell After death, they'll join their master In that place from heaven he fell. But till then we'll fight and resist Making them put their chains away And those of us who may die first From heaven shall watch and pray. POLITICIANS Most of the time as a politician stands up Along with the truth, their brain sits down. Promising anything and everything to anyone While posing to the public, to be on common ground. The higher the office the greater the corruption As candidates compete for those dead presidents of green. While we're taxed to death to fund their pork Our cost for everything has become obscene. Thank God there are some better than most Not squeaky clean, but more honest than others. Regardless of party, they deserve our vote For they share our thoughts like sisters and brothers. Politicians who wish to be revered by history Must earn their fame by living the truth. Any who continue to mislead and deceive Must be shunned by the voter at the booth. OBAMA'S INAUGURATION DAY POEMS FELLOW AMERICANS Will we battle terrorism as it should be fought Or run away and let evil doers chase us to our door? Will we protect our freedom and system of life As our fathers and grandfathers sacrificed before? Will we secure our borders against illegal entry Or let our economy and security be destroyed? Will we finally stop runaway wasteful spending By leaders who are self-serving and void? Will we continue to pledge our help to the less fortunate Who suffer from war, hunger and disease? Will we preserve our heritage and our future From those who wish to bring liberty to its knees? Never be afraid to be proud of America And march with the thankful, honorable and just. Never surrender our freedom of choice Standing firm for what we believe and trust. Sometimes it's hard to protect what is right Sometimes we're scorned as for others we fight. Some of us are willing regardless of loss To commit our soul to save the cross. Evil prospers on greed and human hate Always eager to destroy and defecate. God's grace descends on the souls of man Cleansing the impure wherever He can. As long as man has struggled on earth Life has had its troubles from birth. God's seed of goodness has delayed man's demise Thank Heaven for his heroes the strong and the wise. The Lord adores his heroes of yesterday Just how numerous, only He could say. God loves his soldiers who line up to serve By standing against evil His grace they deserve. God Bless America PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TWO WORLDS There are two worlds, this one and the next Man's is deceptive, temporary and full of blame. God's is permanent, loving, truthful and complete Free of hate, lust, war, greed and shame. Our bodies belong to this world and die Our souls come from God's and return. Virtue is knowledge of what is right or wrong As the lessons of lifetime we learn. Humans are disorderly, wasteful and corrupt All are guilty of the ignorance of sin. The worst crimes practiced on Earth today Are the sadistic deeds committed by men. History persist but nothing has changed The world we live in is more dangerous than before. Most people never know the true facts or answers They just follow the leaders they fear or adore. The falsehoods of politics shadow man's soul Testing our faith, temperament and resolve. Real heroes defend, liberate and unite Facing problems with a mandate to solve. President Obama I pray for your wisdom To deal with America's troubles and enemies at hand. Man's world is God's boot camp of divine worth As the misdeeds of man crisscross the land.
