Winter Soldier, Sunshine Patriot

SkyyLog

Winter Soldier, Sunshine Patriot? With perceived defeat of MAGA in the 2022 mid-term elections (illusion), many Sunshine Patriots have been exposed. Truth might be non-negotiable, but for some, I guess it is. Winter Patriots remain, undeterred.

Sunshine Patriot

So, what is a “Sunshine Patriot”? Someone who is squishy about their beliefs, will swear dedication in good times, but will turn completely when things don’t come out as they expect. They want to keep their social media popularity in tact, so they back-off to the imagined security of that perceived popularity. When you become more offended by comments made against the new media-made desperation 2024 candidate than you do two stolen elections, you were never the real deal, were you?

Winter Soldier

There are many, many digital Winter Soldier soldiers, however. We quietly research and draw our own conclusions, not relying on others. It is up to us to go against the winds of misinformation and help peacefully disseminate the truth. We see the corruption and outright theft of our work benefiting the law-breaking mob. We see our youth dying from fentanyl, being trafficked; sexualized from practically infancy. We see the obvious lies we’re supposed to believe (and don’t). We see the real racism, and it’s not from us. We see the double standards; two-tiered “justice” system. We know what they don’t tell us. We’re not stupid. Finally, we don’t want to perpetuate this for our children and grandchildren. We want to save them from slavery.

Only One

There’s only one candidate I will stand behind. He has kept his word on every promise he has made. He believes in the individual, not the collective. He believes in personal and economic freedom. He believes in Free Speech and gun rights specified in the Constitution’s Second Amendment. He believes in equal justice for all. He believes in law and order and stands behind police and military. He wants our vote protected. He took no salary. He can’t be bought. He loves our country. Most important, he believes in God.

That man- still my President- Donald J. Trump.

Looking for a Window


Been looking for a window to get a glimpse outside
But the monolith is locked up, and we are trapped on the inside.
Remember feet of clay, look ahead to better days.
Got to keep momentum..
It’s been quite a ride, though I tried to hide.
Ensconced on the seventeenth floor,
And I wonder where all the others go…
Been looking for a window of opportunity,
Someday I just might find it,
Impossible as it might be.

Been looking for a window to escape reality.
I’ll never give up looking
In this illusion of “free”.
Search for a little light, each day appears at night.
Question these surroundings.
All sense unease, no one can be pleased,
Nonetheless, we try.
Oh, for an unobstructed sky!
Gasping for breath of air, subtly acute despair.
Lulled into submission.
Nothing can be clear in this atmosphere,
I can only rely on God
And still wonder where all the others go.

Truly Blessed

Truly Blessed

I feel truly blessed.

You see, I had stage-four tongue cancer twelve years ago. Even though still here, by the grace of God, I can no longer play guitar due to nerve adhesion caused by the radiation; developing years later. However, there exists excellent software that will play my notation or keyboard triggering with great-sounding guitars. Work-a rounds are available to those who look. That’s the key. (The song I’m finishing-up has14 guitars scattered about!)

Just to have given the chance to experience life for another twelve years is amazing! I’m throwing myself into my work while I’m still here… To quote Phil Ochs:

And I won’t feel the flowing of the time when I’m gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I’m gone
My pen won’t pour a lyric line when I’m gone
So I guess I’ll have to do it while I’m here
– “When I’m Gone”- Phil Ochs

What’s Really Important?

What’s really important, anyway? Looking back, the things that once seemed so important are nothing today.

“All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall” 1 Peter 1:24

You can be at the top of your field, but it’s only temporary. The same for being on the “lowest rung”. Life is change, but you decide just what that change should be. Any outward advantage is not permanent. Pick your priorities and stick with them. Trust God.

Do What You Love

Do what you love. We are each truly blessed with a uniqueness that cannot be replicated. I had the crazy idea Fifty years ago to record original music, knowing the odds of my commercial “success” were impossible. (I don’t tour.) Fifty years later, I’m still doing just that- taking a blank canvas, “painting” songs, writing lyrics (and blog), editing music videos on my website, and distributing songs world-wide. Although “commercial” success isn’t there, my “artistic” success thrives. Self -satisfaction cannot be bought.

God has a plan for each one of us. If you do what you love, you are truly blessed!

Forgive

Raise the vibration, thank God for life.
End the frustration, stop the needless strife.
We all want freedom, we all seek love.
Forgive those who wrong you; you’ll be forgiven Above.

Time and again, we stop to imagine peace on all the earth…
I believe faith will move this mountain; I believe in spiritual rebirth.

Infinite blessing, abundance thrives.
Jesus lives in darkest night and deepest of dives.
Struggles are over, shadows have passed.
Live in the sunshine. High tides and green grass.

Quick commutation, God’s in control.
Realization has strayed from the fold.
Unlimited access. Mission of love.
Forgive all transgressions; you’ll be forgiven Above.
