Polititree desires to be a poetic voice regarding the world's political and social
issues of our times. We have entered an era of tremendous change from tragic
occurances throughout our global existence upon this planet:
Storms, earthqaukes, huuricanes and economic strife. An enlightenment
is scream in America for full recognizing : That all men are created equal.
I shall endeavor in verse and essay the throbbing tears inside of me.

IN A TIME OF STRIFE

There are creative manners, There are creative actions, and creative words:

Manners, actions, words,

That is, indicative of no custom or authority,

But springing spontaneous from the mind’s own sense of good and fair

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

IN A TIME OF STRIFE ~ THESE TIMES, THIS MOMENT

WHICH IS UPON US ALL

NO ONE SHOULD IGNORE THAT OUR HISTORY

LIBERTY AND FREEDOM

ARE THE CARING PARENTS OF OUR JOY AND PAIN

YET WE SIBLINGS OF THIS PRECIUOS PRIVILEDGE

ARGUE AND DEBATE – UNYEILDING ON PRINCIPLES

IN THIS HOUR OF AMERICA’S DESPAIR

THUS WE

HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LONG LINE IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA

THE UNBROKEN DEVOTION

THE LIFE, THE SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS OF MOTHER LIBERTY AND FATHER FREEDOM

IT IS DUE TO THE REPITIOUS COMMITMENT TO ENDURE AND OVERCOME STRUGGLE

ONE AND ALL ~ THE FEW AND THE MANY WEAVING TOGETHER

THE COMMON CAUSE

FINDING TIME, GIVING TIME TO MEND THE SEAMS

OUR INDUSTRY ~ A NATION

CONCEIVED AND NUTURED TO THRIVE FOR ALL

BABIES SNUGGLED IN ARMS,

MOTHERS AND FATHERS, UNCLES AND AUNTS,

GRANDPARENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS

~ EACH ~

COMFORTABLE IN THE KNOWING

~ OPPORTUNITY ~

HOWEVER

SOME POLITICIANS AND SOME AMERICAN ARISTOCRATES

ARE WALKING THE DANDEROUS BEAM OF IGNORING

~ NATIONS AND EMPIRES CAN FALL ~

WHILE MANY STRUGGLE AND MANY ARE AT EASE

UPON A FRACTURED FOUNDATION

~ DO NOT IGNORE ~

THE TIME, THE MONEY, THE COMMITMENT OF GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTIES

TO REBUILD AND RENEW STABILITY

RETOOL AND RETRAIN AN ANXIOUS WORKFORCE OF CITIZENS

AWAITING TO DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO THE MAGNIFICENT IDEAS

OF A NATION SWEATING AND TOILING TOGETHER FOR SURVIVAL AND PROSPERITY

THE AMERICAN CITIZENTRY AWAITS

IN THIS MOMENT OF OUR COMMOM STRIFE

~ THE OINMENT OF UNDERSTANDING AND ENGINEERING NEEDED TO MEND WOUNDS  ~

THERE ARE ECHOES IN THE HEARTS OF SO MANY ~ PLEADING

WE NEED YOUR DECISIVE URGENCY TO ACT

COME OUT OF YOUR CASTLES OF EASE

PUT ON THE TATTERED GARMENTS AND SHOES OF THE MANY LIVES

TORN WITH TODAY’S STRUGGLE

PUT OUT YOUR HANDS AND HEARTS AND TOUCH THE FLAMES OF STRIFE

~ YES! IT BURNS ~

WHO CHOOSES TO TOSSEL WITH A FIRE

OTHER THAN FIREFIGHTERS

WHO SEEK TO EXTINGUISH ITS FLAMES

IN A TIME OF STRIFE

( THE FISCAL CLIFF ISSUE )

THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR THE SINGLARITY OF ANY HIGH MORAL BELIEF

THERE ARE MOUTHS TO FEED

THE BREAD OF TRANSLATING AND INITIATING IDEAS INTO COMMERCE

~ REVELATIONS ~

A NEW TIME TO DESIGN A FUTURE EARTH

ONE NATION MUST LEAD FOR THAT NATION

~ ALWAYS THE FIRST PRIORITTY ~

TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THE ONLY ANSWER
