I wrote this poem last fall after Biden announced his plan for vaccine mandates in the workplace. Of course, the word “papers” is sort of archaic poetry because what they really want is a digital ID. Not just for vaccines. They’ll sell it on safety, protection, ease of use. But it’s a major step inContinue reading “Poem: Papers”

Poem: Civil Disobedience
There is such a contradiction between what I see on live streams of the ongoing protests against global tyranny and what the media is reporting. I see flag waving and the voices of people uniting for the national anthem. But the media (and government) calls it sedition. I see folks sharing food, building potluck tablesContinue reading “Poem: Civil Disobedience”
Poem: Praise
I’d like to share another poem I included in my most recent poetry collection Shining Hard. I actually wrote this last fall as people were losing their jobs in face of the vaccine mandates. For those standing up for their freedom and all of our freedoms. But reading it now, it also describes the freedomContinue reading “Poem: Praise”
Poem: Nothing Left
Last fall I published my 4th collection of poetry titled Shining Hard. I had gotten in the habit last year of sharing a poem now and then on my blog in lieu of posting to Instagram (which I deleted last summer). But I have not shared in a while, despite feeling like now more thanContinue reading “Poem: Nothing Left”
We’ve Already Won
Sometimes when I’m reading a book that is stressing me out I’ll go read the last chapter so that I can continue reading peacefully knowing how the story ends. I know, this is not really a good quality. However, when it comes to the situation we find ourselves in currently, the world rising up toContinue reading “We’ve Already Won”
To the Truckers
As I sit here this evening in my warm apartment with a snack by my side and a dog in my lap, I think about truckers holding the line in Ottawa and along the Canadian border, that they are probably cold. Uncomfortable. Maybe missing family. And that the euphoria of the first days of thisContinue reading “To the Truckers”
Marxist Hypocrisy
Yesterday I watched some video of Canadian Members of Parliament debating the current situation with the protest in Ottawa. I took exception to a Liberal MP stating that the protesters have made their point and need to go home because it’s not fair to “lockdown” all of Ottawa with the gridlock of their protest. NotContinue reading “Marxist Hypocrisy”
Proud to be Canadian
This spring I will celebrate 20 years since my family moved to America. But this weekend I was bursting with pride to be Canadian born. Watching the live stream videos online (since of course the Marxist mainstream media is either silent or misrepresenting the truth), I watched my fellow Canadians rise up against tyranny inContinue reading “Proud to be Canadian”
Free Christmas
Today, our esteemed lord Fauci told us that it’s too soon to tell if we will be able to gather in groups for Christmas. My first thought was, “People are still not gathering in groups?!” Who is this guy? And who is listening to him? This time last year, they were talking about herd immunityContinue reading “Free Christmas”
My Experience with COVID-19
Some would say with all my travel in the last twelve months that I would inevitably catch COVID – and many would smugly believe I had it coming. That all may be true, maybe I did have it coming. And I did catch COVID. But I caught it locally. But locally or in an airportContinue reading “My Experience with COVID-19”
