“There is no maxim in my opinion which is more liable to be misapplied, and which therefore needs elucidation than the current one that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong…. In fact it is only reestablishing under another name and a more specious form, force as the measure of right.” – James Madison (1786)
Based in part on 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12:
One Purpose Lived by Michael Romani Every life has purpose and significance Be it plain wrapped or laced in elegance Labeled in the title of many special things Some with no rewards some come with rings Fixing the focus of intentional living Keeping the course for all things giving Keeping God as our Lord and Father While setting the example for son and daughter In the process of our journey we find our way To how to best live out each of our best days Starting at the first step there below the cross Lived with love for God's glory and no one's loss Keeping these things in mind we see it's ample That purpose filled life is boasted as our example Enduring all to bring about the best for all Mankind's prayerful destination since the fall There in everyone's life is that special calling With each part living out as if more than falling There into the place we must come to embrace As we live out our roles before coming face to face One on one we come into the Lord's very presence Taking each needed step along in our perseverance Preparing and struggling to become worthy of ourselves The things needed to be lived not taken from shelves A life lived well despite the inconvenience of resistance Never coasting through but seeking through persistence The calling heard from wherever we are currently standing Will not be too much to take on but will be demanding Through God's brilliant power, His will to be fulfilled Taken for it's grand adventure in which we will be thrilled Central calling heard to provide each with their direction The world's great hunger is met through God's correction A burning bush came to an imperfect man to speak About reaching the commanding point of Sinai's peak Excuses made are boldly put to their best rest By God's command to each of us to meet each test Ever called on to aspire forward toward a higher level The saints are called on to handle an adversarial devil Least that any man might boast, it's through God's power That each of us finds our way to our best and finest hour (c) March 5, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved

“Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually.” – George Mason, Speech at the Virginia Constitutional Ratifying Convention, June 14th, 1778

To Harvest the Wind: School Daze by Michael Romani I. A breeze touches the savanna grass As the tribesmen dance in a pass Harvesting corn; some barely living This harsh life can be unforgiving God's decision made by His choice And the village loses another voice Bittersweet-ness of fruit as grown The kindness of God as brutally known Kuefesa is the time and place of sowing The planting of seeds in the knowing In the morn, a newborn babe wakes and cries As a father's eyes searches in the skies It's a good enough sort of a morning Felt with its own peculiar half-mourning Drinking life's water from the village well This then is the beginning of the tale New school clothes wait on the bed To help fill the knowing in his head A moment's prayer is quietly spoken Then off to school with dreams awoken Education is it own engraved legacy To take steps toward peace and democracy For a people who have only known poverty This then, bit by bit, would be their legacy God's rain comes down and with learning The headmaster hopes to stoke the fires burning But to truly heed his truest best advice All of this comes with it's own hard price Every day will find it's own unique struggle As the people lose first tobacco and then jungle The government knows best only how to take and take Offering minimal opportunity, it claims high stakes (c) March 2, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
“It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping GOD in the manner most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.” – John Adams (1776)
“Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” – George Orwell (1903-1950)
“A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species.” – James Madison (1792)
