Thanks so much for all the encouragement you have given me over the months of The Lair's life. I appreciate you all so much.

My Valentine all of you.

Awwww. You're so sweet. Thank you for giving us a place to be a little free and light hearted while enjoying plenty of good writing, music and "dancing".

Best of all, is the company we all keep here.

No thank you for keeping a poetry thread going at FR.

poem 1 for thought.

Where Are We At?

I remember an America different then today,
where children laughed and life went on.
Now its shifting into paths with high tolls to pay,
where we are no longer free, just pro or con!

Rights slip away like ice melting in the sun,
where respect is litigated, and too many loop holes arise.
We can’t seem to hold them, just watching as they run,
and along the way we lose, and America slowly dies.

God is banned as if He were evil, and to the left He is,
the final judgement scares them so, they reject Him for us all.
His words are belittled, and lost in jangling rhetoric whiz,
Values taught are soon forgot as long as life can be a ball.

Country means less now, so many expect it to always be the same,
patriotic fervor is replaced by MTV and NFL.
And yet they miss the fact its nearly gone, except in tattered name,
apathy, the saddest death, for no one cares to see its hell.

Everything is tainted with race, this to make it better they say,
as somehow one had the right to not be offended over any other right.
Lawsuits and media and stories of half truths the cards they play,
and America becomes less each time that truth takes off the night!

Marriage is being warped into something only the left could respect,
and sad to say the price we’ll pay is the loss of all we’ve been.
Too many say they are standing for America, yet we’re getting decked,
and what we have is but a shadow of what we once were back then.

Forty years of madness, and the left has won them all,
and things are looking bad, and no one gathers to fight for our rights.
Cause we’re all glued to TV sets to watch which Survivor falls,
and America is going away and without a single fight.

Stand if your American, and if the Bill of Rights is yours,
take back that which once was yours, and keep it in the light.
Fight the left and win this one, or these will be conquered shores,
and we will pass away, far from Freedom’s guiding sight.
