LOS ANGELES
IN THE STREETS,
OF THE ANGELS,
THE WORLD ON FIRE.
IN THE STATE,
OF SAINT LOUIS,
AMERICA SPINS TRUE.
IN THE RACE,
OF HOPE,
WHO GETS THE BILL?
IN THE HOPE,
OF A HEAVEN,
HOW THROUGH WE SEE?
WITH DIVERSITY,
ON TRIAL,
GOVERNED BY LAWS.
WITH OR WITHOUT,
ON WE GOVERN,
GOVERNING BY LAWS!
WITH OPPOSITES ATTRACTING,
ON WE JOURNEY,
UNITING IN HOPE!
WITH A BUSH,
ON FIRE,
WHAT DID WE SEE?

{I post this here today to try to check and counter so much jive from the Dems about domestic and foreign affairs.}
{”IN THE HOPE, OF A HEAVEN, HOW THROUGH WE SEE?” Should be read as much as a concern about Bill Clinton from Hope, Arkansas - as if he is a moral or immoral choice - and with concern if too many will see through how he was being presented and handled to be better than he really was and maybe too flawed to be right for highest office.}
{At time of all this a political concern it seems Saddam Hussein was considering that America could be turned upside down to his advantage if maybe he returned to his days of rising through Ba’athist Party but now with our President Bush in his sights. This is as much a piece to remember the “angels” of Americans that came together around him to help moderate and reduce threats and the opportunities that seemed real for Saddam Hussein and other independent actors at least across the Middle East.}
{This was of communications carried on with Rep Gephardt as he looked to be the last A Team Dem standing to offer President Bush a respectable challenge and so of Saint Louis state at least because the population balance point for the USA if like on a flat plate was then in Missouri - the “spins true” like a wheel balanced right - but then also about cycling and wheel truing hobby and networking of mine of a neighborhood of remembered professors of later President Bush 43 and as well a pal of his from his class who was the neighbor with the Park Wheel Truing Stand I could borrow and he of professional concerns for Veterans of being too “Louis” (like - down).}
{The Clintons still haven’t answered my question about whom I should bill for my part in the race of hope then of so many trying to reduce opportunities that Saddam Hussein seemed to see and threats to those then leading us about and of Bush.}
{THIS IS A POEM UNIQUELY ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE EARLY NINETIES - IT THOUGH WAS AS WELL WRITTEN TO BE MY POEM TO OTHERWISE COVER THE RODNEY KING RIOTS THEN IN NEWS FROM LOS ANGELES.}
NOTE: We should still be looking to see through the Clintons as then we should have more - we have that they now seem just as much or more to working us towards a governance more of them than of our laws and secured Constitutional standards.
