If I Were A Dictator

If I were a Dictator
I would call the United States my own.
I would turn her into what I wanted her to be
in the name of goodness and reform
I would plant my weeds everywhere
so they could grow big and strong.
I would tell them to act incompetent and inept
so on American could catch on.
I would establish my battlefields
place by place.
I would attack the true Americans
and make laws that would erase.
I would slowly capture the people, one by one
health care, education, wildlife, and guns.
The Americans will not notice
they are too busy having fun.

Evil Doers

Evil doers will tear love down,
spin love round and round,
like a whirlwind.
But hold onto the love,
if one knows it to be true.
Do not listen to the lies,
deception, or untruths.
And yet, there is some consolation,
there is some purpose to life.
There is the lovely destiny,
that's waiting on the other side.
It's full of love and truth,
shining brightly as a star.
But the only way to find it,
is to follow the strength,
and beauty of the heart.

There It Was

There it was,
it was in my dream,
it was glistening with glory,
it was an unearthly scene.
It was an Oak tree,
standing beautiful, balanced, and bright,
softly preaching it's message of love and light.
There it was,
pulling me to it's force,
there was no mistaking the coarse.
There it was,
amidst the darkness and the void.
This must be a gift from my lord.
