“Go Down With Obama” copyright 2011 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

“Riding into the “Valley of Debt” with Obama

Go down with Obama,
was the rallying cry of my great country.
Into the valley of debt rode the millions.
Upon their backs laid their now defunct,
IRA’s.
 
Their horses sucked in their last breaths,
as the storm clouds of a depression,
engulfed them.
 
Oh, our great leader Obama,
will praises of your name,
be sung down thru the ages,
or will your name be cursed,
by the children of these riders,
who have lost their dreams? 
 
Into the valley of bankruptcy rode the millions,
in their last days of glory.
In the deep recesses of the valley,
was this cry from the disenfranchised and the idle,
“Oh Save Us Obama,
from the Valley of Work, Taxes, and Love of our Country!”
 
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”  A Quote by Thomas Jefferson

The melody of the piano
played upon my memories of you.
Spring days enter my mind
amidst the smell of fresh flowers
in your hair.
 
A love I will always have in my heart
long gone of our time together.
A sadness I cannot explain
in not having you at my side today.

There is a game we play with couples.
It is called the “Hurting Game.”
It is a game that can weaken Love
or destroy Love between two people.
 
In early romances
we seek beautiful
and positive statements
to relate to each other.
 
It is later that the
“Hurting Game” begins.
It starts out with a small
biting criticism.
The heart is hurt by
the receiver.
 
Uncared words between two Lovers
can be knife cuts to the very heart.
Generally in these hurts does it become
pay back time with a similar cutting remark
when the occasion arises. 
 
Many times the Game
increases in intensity.
It is then done before
friends and relatives.
 
Such acts make the hurts
even deeper in their pain.
It is not time to break this circle?
 
Promise each other this day
that the hurtful words in the future
will only be replaced with words
of Love, Kindness and Praise.
 
In so doing
will you both find in each other again
the love you both so richly deserve.

It was a surprise dinner at a new Italian restaurant.
He observed a couple sitting in the corner.
The man was speaking quietly without much body language.
 
The young beautiful woman before him
sat transfixed in listening to him.
Her eyes told the story.
She was interested in what he had to say.
 
The care and the love
showed in her eyes
as she rendered her full attention
to his words.
 
“Have you ever noticed that couples
who have been together a long time
sometimes stop listening to each other?”
he thought to himself.
 
This was such a night for him
as he related to his his bride of many years
some difficult times in his past.
 
Her remark was,
“Well, I guess you got to eat some humble pie,
in those years,” 
with a gleem in her eyes
and wide laughter
upon her face.
 
That evening when they got home
the man sat on the bedroom bed alone.
It was for a long time.
Tears rolled down his his cheeks,
he was not sure………..,
why?

In my youth
I took Love as I found it.
Each moment a sip of joy
soon to be replayed in memory.
 
There were bad choices
in the marrying of others.
It seemed I was focused
on marrying the dumbest
of dumb asses.
 
Then you came into my life.
I never thought I could love so much.
There is so much about you
to love.
 
The slightest frown upon your face
brings sorrow to my heart,
A tear from your eye
devastates me.
 
Never did I think
I could love so much
any one woman in life
as I love you.
 
Truly it hurts
to love somehow
too much
as I love you.

There is a whole lot of fear out there.
Only with Courage can we overcome.
Being fearless in a frightened world
is within our daily prayers.
 
Let us not falter in our belief
in the Glory of God.
He will lead us to victory
in every battle.
 
Praise to our Lord
Glory in His Name.
An Eternity of Love
awaits for those
who believe.

The question that comes to our minds

is one that asks of the why of our existence.

Many would lead us to believe in only their way to understand.

Each of us are as individual as each star that burns in the heavens.

Each made in His image to sing as a choir of His Love and Praises.

 

The paths to finding ourselves in knowing His Love are many.

Do not be discouraged by the selfish ends of many

or those who make fun and light of your way of praising the Lord.

The Lord’s knowledge of His Love did not end with the Bible

or any other works that come before you.

Continue on your path of discovery

without discouragement.

 

Continue to write your poems of your love of the Lord.

Continue to sing the songs of your love that are created by His inspiration.

For His Love is everlasting and never-ending in its song and words.

Remember you are never alone in sharing your praises of Love with Him.

 

He will be there long after all those who attempted to hurt you

and discourage you

are long gone from this earth

as well as the heavenly place

He has waiting for you.
