Sacred Song
May your trails always be safe protected by the sacred song of life.
Sacred Song by Michael Romani Sing your songs To protect my trail Offering safe passage Past the hounds of Hell My soul is troubled Here in these times When difficulties Get in the way of rhymes Smile your vision Of better things to come That I might find the decision Maybe not best for all but for some Keep me close In your spirit's dance With hope for tomorrow When we might by chance Find our trails Have merged once again And you might remember me My forever friend (c) February 22, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved

Walk Alone
When Satan fell to the Earth, he did not fall alone. It takes that one brave enough to stand against these forces of evil…
Walk Alone by Michael Romani When Satan fell from heaven He did not fall alone In this world filled with darkness I wish I had a heart of stone You may think me silly But is man kind, really? In a dealt out hand I must fold or stand It's mankind's great tragedy That we so often align With all the things of fallacy Preferring darkness to light and to see Seeing this truth unfold I speak plainly as I'm told That truth will set us free I remain hopeful of that possibility But so many times, I walk alone Keeping my loyalty to the heavenly throne But, then making so many mistakes That all that's left is to embrace the heartbreaks (c) February 22, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved

Skeletons In Our Closet
In biology, we are taught that there is an almost linear path of the forms of mankind. Reality is it was a bit messier. Six species of man existed probably concurrently or at least overlapping. One still stands…. Is it because we’re wiser?
Skeletons In Our Closet by Michael Romani Gazing backward from our horizon Our siblings are rescued from oblivion A fossilized bit of finger bone Whispers that we are not alone Or, at least once, we were not We have lost cousins we'd forgot So much for our moments of vanity There are skeletons in closet of humanity With a whiff of pretentiousness We echo our pride of consciousness Proclaiming our bit of tree as wise But, were we always in our brothers' eyes Having been poked and prodded once again Sitting quietly eating with book as friend I find myself wishing maybe I was drinking Cleverly caught up again in thinking How it had become necessary to invent Conceptions of clean lines of descent But this is just intended fallacy Protecting ourselves from truth of city At 10,000 years as our cities rose Our relatives mysteriously died out as it goes Of six species of man, one remains standing The explanation for this is not so demanding There is something in this singular discrimination That calls out in its haunting incrimination All so clever in our suppression of memory Of how Homo Sapiens killed off its family We pride ourselves as rising as the best But was it fratricide that stood as test Neanderthal Man had the bigger brain Now isn't that a peculiar sense of stain?

Thought For the Day: Where Plunder Becomes A Way of Life, A Legal System Is Created To Authorize It Until It Is Glorified As Moral
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” – Frederic Bastiat
Thought For the Day: Invoking the 25th Amendment Against A Sitting President For Fundamental Policy Disagreements Is A Grievous Offense Against the Constitution
“The 25th Amendment is about Woodrow Wilson having a stroke. It’s about a president being shot and not being able to perform his office. It’s not about the most fundamental disagreements. Any Justice Department official who even mentioned the 25th Amendment in the context of President Trump has committed a grievous offense against the Constitution.” – Alan Dershowitz, Former Harvard Constitutional Law Professor and Author
First Principles: This Republic Would Be Unfaithful To Itself Were We To Allow Partiality To Infect Our Elections
“We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.” – John Adams (1797)
That’s precisely where the cards appear to be playing out. The decision was made by the Deep State to conspire against the election of President Donald Trump. This is the stuff of Banana Republics and not the nation for which I have fought and may die for. Were there anything that seemed conclusively against President Trump’s winning of this election beyond sore losers, I would be against him as well. To my trained and I believe unbiased eyes, all appearances are that a group of well placed (read that ill placed) bad actors simply decided that Donald Trump did not deserve to be president regardless of the election results. It saddens me to the core to know that members of the FBI and Department of Justice were among those conspiring. It is my sincere and deep hope that once Muller’s report is released, that these bad actors including HRC and Obama are thoroughly investigated for this malfeasance against our Republic. Even after President Trump is cleared, this remains a sad day in America.

First Principles: Those Citing Scriptures In Support of the Bondage of Slavery Are Reminded of Its Consequences to Egypt
“[E]ven the sacred Scriptures had been quoted to justify this iniquitous traffic. It is true that the Egyptians held the Israelites in bondage for four hundred years, . . . but . . . gentlemen cannot forget the consequences that followed: they were delivered by a strong hand and stretched-out arm and it ought to be remembered that the Almighty Power that accomplished their deliverance is the same yesterday, today, and for ever”. – Elias Boudino, President of Continental Congress from 1782-1783
