Song, My Lament

AwHec8

Just some years ago,

I set out upon this here road,

Seeking God's way to fortune,

Plotting for my pot of gold,

Things got bad then things got worse,

Some of you know my tune,

Oh Lord stuck in North Carolina again,

 

I rode in on an airplane,

I’ll be carried out in a box when I go,

I was passing through must be 15 years or more,

All thanks to living in the; no like a corps(e),

Looks like God took my friends,

How does any of this make sens,

Oh Lord stuck in North Carolina again!

 

The man from the Good Lord's Book,

Said I was on my way,

Somehow I lost connection,

Run out of excuses to make,

Faith for me was a one night stand,

Looks like my plans fell through,

Oh Lord stuck in North Carolina again,

 

If I only had been a believer,

For every time I promised,

Instead of staying a deceiver,

While being flat out drunk; by what’s in this here cup,

You know God would have caught me,

Before my next fuck up,

Instead of singing this here song; I would just plain be free,

Well it's right back to where it all began,

Oh Lord stuck in North Carolina again,

Oh Lord stuck in North Carolina again!

    You may laugh at this, though in one way it is serious: ' I (a British person) told them Americans not to trust someone with such a dodgy barnet (Trump's strange hairstyle), but they never listened to me'!
    Why Barack was voted out I don't know.

      Lol! Man I Love your British wit, orchidee you make me laugh more times than not. Don
      Come to think of it maybe trump's hairs would be that alien life form scientists have been looking for? Just a thought a theory

        Could be! lol. It all seemed so sensible when Barack was President - yes? Maybe he will get back in again - November is it, the voting?

        Since everyone is giving their opinion, I figure that I will give mine. I voted for Mr. Trump, and I agree with what he is doing. He is a doer. He is not perfect. No president was. Still, he is our leader. Personally, I think alot of people are disrespectful. I am not a Republican, Democrat, or Independent.
        This is my opinion.

          I would be astonished by what you said even if I was secular in my thinking, especially knowing the history of the USA with regard to its Presidents. Did you know for example that 1 President was arrested by local officials after breaking the law and held up in judgement of a Court? So if we are all fallible human beings and if we are all part of a democracy and if we are all equal what pray tell reason to you use to justify putting anyone much less Drumpf on a pedestal? Setting Drumpf up on higher ground than any of us in this Country? That is the problem with the thinking of those who even say respect the office not the man if nothing else. Did you also know that as commander and chief he controls a vast military that if for 1 Law that still stands, or at least I was taught it when going through basic, that any 1 can counter man an order from a higher up if it goes against the Law or a man's own Conscience. Point being right now the only reason there isn't more chaos is because Drumpf can only get away with so much before he is held accountable and no it isn't just at the ballot box its in Law its in serving the People as we are the real rulers. Just voting in temporarily men & women to represent us NOT the corporations. As in Of the People, By the People, For the People NOT of the rich, by the powerful, for the moneyed interests! (That is all of us People/Don't you realize that is why they constantly screw with the voters by throwing them off, under counting the vote so Jackasses get elected all the time). The fraud in voting republicans are always talking about is mostly performed by them, 1 example happened just in the 2018 election right here in my State North Carolina. Where the 9th District Congressman was elected so fraudulently by tampering with the vote through a hired company run by a man who already had served time for the same offense that we had to have another special election just for that District. And on I could go with the evil being perpetrated up to and including this very day. And you want me to be silent, to not rail against this evil? You want me to NOT see or hear or understand or do something about it like protesting, writing, hell trying to get someone to run for office? You want me to respect even a little bit a man who wouldn't know right if it fell on him?
          Name 1 just 1 time Drumpf has stood up for something he did wrong, accepted it by telling the Truth then went onto take it like a man in the form of punishment given, Please name 1?
          You Can't so I rest my case on Drumpf his followers, the whole republican party, the apathetic democratic party and anyone else who will sit by and accept this or tell me to accept this or say I am not seeing it correctly! Period.
          Now religiously ForeverJesus6 I want you to tell it to Jesus in prayer why you support a mere man that puts children in cages, and please don't give me the answer about Obama did it, as I railed against some of his policies too. Just defend in prayer what Drumpf has done to his fellow human beings if you can.

            I put him on a, 'pedestal', because America is our country, and as you said the president is our Commander in Chief. The president is our leader whether we like him or not.
