CHICAGO CAN'T CHA...CHA...
 
Chicago...Chicago...The Gang Banger Town
Chicago...Chicago..They want to Shoot you Down
Bet your Bottom dollar...You LOST  The First Round

Chicago...Chicago...They Don't want Your Town..
 
On State street..the Great street...A Kid Lies a Dying
While Obama flew to Copenhagen and did alot of Lying..
Come to Chicago..and Really Risk your Life
Bring lots of Security..Not your Kids or Wife...
 
The USS Chicago...is just another  Rotten Boat
Chicago...Chicago...You didn't Get The Vote..
You can't do the Cha...Cha..and You Lost Out
Somewhere Down in Rio..I Hear a Loud Shout..
 
Rio...Rio..You're My kind of Town..

"September Storm"  by Jim Tice
 
The Eleventh of September was Solemn
Scenes of Sadness..Suffering..Smoke and Fire
As The Cameras Rolled Relentlessly On
Showing the Death Dance of the Twins.....
 
 Airplane Arrows Pierced Their Hearts and Ours
 Staring in Wonder At the Madness  of Madmen
Called Terrorists  and Ji Hadists...and Extremists
 Killers Whose Heaven is Hell .Making..
 
 War with Little Children   and  Innocent Souls..
Of People Who Never Even Wished Them Harm
But who Died Horrible Deaths From Atrocious Acts
As the Twins Crumbled with Broken Backs...
 
Fuel Fed   Flames consuming People and Pentagon
Crashing  Chaos of Death and Destruction of Life ...

But Not  The Spirit You See..The Flag of Liberty

Still Flying Among the bloody Scene of Inhumanity....

       "BE   STILL AND KNOW'...by   Jim Ticehurst.

Do we Recognize How many Ways

That we are Needed..or reached out to..??

Not always will we hear Kind Words of Love

From Those Speaking to Me and You..

Often..many Desperate..Lonely People

Seeking Ways to make us Aware

Of Their inner Soul..Who's Pleading Voice

Has Asked us for a Moment to Spare..

Intent on Getting Our Attention, Somehow

Asking us to know Our ROLE..

"Freedoms Forge"...by Jim Ticehurst (Mountain Lion)

They first Landed upon the Atlantic Shores

Of a brave New Land  that Opened Its Doors..

To The Dreams of those Who Would be Free

Seeking Only Peace and Place of Harmony....

They Came Not wanting a War or to Fight.

Only to Follow the Path of Freedoms Light...

To find a new home and make a Stand

As They Would build a nation and make it Grand ...

Pilgrims, Peasants,Poor or Rich they Came

In Gods Creation They were All The Same...

Creating a Nation Not Ruled by Hate

Following Destiny, Dreams and unknown Fate...

Uniting as a PEOPLE ..That Tyrrany might Fall

They Gathered in Numbers at Independence Hall

A Hand Written Document would Soon Declare..

Liberty and Justice Had Brought them There...

A Continental Army  Joined to Carry the Fight

At Valley Forge....The Fires Burned Bright...

That United The Colonies in a Just Revolution

Creating thier Freedom and a New Constitution..

Those Banners Pass on From Sister and Brother

To Make this GREAT Nation Unlike Any Other ....,.

America was Built on Blood...Sweat...and Tears..
