Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Saturday Poetry

Have Hope
                  by
         B. A. G. Fuller


Have Hope!  it is the brightest star
     That lights life's pathway down;
A richer, purer gem than decks
The Midas that may turn to joy
     The grief-fount of the soul;
     That paints the prize and  bids thee press
     With fervor to the goal.

Have Hope!  as the tossed mariner
     Upon the wild sea driven
With rapture hails the polar star--
     His guiding light to haven--
So Hope shall gladden thee, and guide
     Along life's stormy road,
And as a sacred beacon stand
     To point thee to they God.
