Liberals Vs. Conservativeswww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2021, By Michael Wright
Liberal or conservative, what should we be? Must these words divide us? It all depends on the situation, you see. Are current conditions acceptable to you and me? This is the question we must discuss. Liberal or conservative, what should we be? When change is required, a liberal response is the key. Otherwise, a conservative response much better serves us. It all depends on the situation, you see. British tyranny toward every American colony Required a liberal response and revolution for us. Liberal or conservative, what should we be? The liberals took a stand for liberty, While British loyalists were conservatives among us. It all depends on the situation, you see. So, liberals gave us our democracy. Aren’t you glad they raised such a fuss? Liberal or conservative, what should we be? It all depends on the situation, you see.

What Will 2021 Bring?www.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2021, By Michael Wright
When you get to the end of 2021, Let me suggest a question for you to ponder. What will be the things you have won? The answer will depend on what you have done. Will this year be for you a time of wonder, When you get to the end of 2021? You see, there's a race that you must run. Time is too precious for you to squander. What will be the things you have won? May there be good things you have begun That make you rejoice for their splendor, When you get to the end of 2021. The things that are left undone May haunt you at year-end yonder. What will be the things you have won? There is more to life than just fun. May you find that joy is far grander, When you get to the end of 2021, What will be the things you have won? A Bad Year Ends Today!www.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
2020 ends today! Started out sunny and bright, Then filled with clouds so gray. Pestilence came our way. Tragedy became our plight. 2020 ends today! Loved ones passed away, What a time of fright, Filled with clouds so gray. Don't get close; stay away; Masks everywhere in sight. 2020 ends today! Fear and anger on display During this darkest night, Filled with clouds so gray. For 2021 I pray, Give us a year sunny and bright. 2020 ends today, Filled with clouds so gray. A National New Year's Resolutionwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
Let this be our New Year's resolution, And let us proclaim with true joy, That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. We have had a year of sad, serious division. Let us unite! Our nation we must not destroy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. May this new year be for us the beginning of new devotion, To find our different cultures and races something to enjoy, That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. May we find new faith in God for inspiration, So that peace and prosperity we may deploy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. And for those who find themselves in desolation, May we find them solutions and opportunities to employ. That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. May we to our neighbors show greater compassion, That tears of despair may become tears of joy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. The Foods We Shouldn't Eatwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
The foods we shouldn't eat. Vegetarian for me is carrot cake! Why are they such a treat? Steak and eggs can't be beat. Let me put a pizza in the oven to bake. O the foods we shouldn't eat. Why do I like so much red meat? And then there’s chocolate cake! Why are they such a treat? Would that vegetables were a tasty sweet, So, that with glee I would partake. O the foods we shouldn't eat. Resisting temptation is such a feat. So many sweets I cannot shake. Why are they such a treat? When my Maker I must meet, I'll ask why must we forsake The foods we shouldn't eat. Why are they such a treat? My Mistakewww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Did it on purpose, I must confess. Did you catch it for Pete's sake? Wanted to see how long it would take For people to discover my mess. Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. It didn't take long for people to awake. Many helped show me where I was careless. Did you catch it for Pete's sake? One poem's title has an error that is fake. The word "and" duplicated, an apparent excess. Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Now this mistake gave me a break. Attracted more visitors, for me, a success! Did you catch it for Pete's sake? So, come now, more poems to partake And see if once more I must confess, Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Will you catch it for Pete's sake? Believe in Godwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
I invite you to believe in God just now. Whether you bow or scowl is your decision. But to God you should choose to bow. Doubt and contempt may raise your brow, But there is good reason for a better view to envision. So, I invite you to believe in God just now. You are reading this on some electronic device somehow. To think your device came to be out of nothing is a delusion. So, to God you should choose to bow. The vastness of the universe could not spring out of nothing somehow. Such complexity, immensity, and majesty is God's creation, Which should move you to believe in God just now. Wickedness and tragedy--why would God allow? Certainly cynicism, doubt, and despair may be your option. Still, to God you should choose to bow. Trust in God that good ultimately prevails somehow. Then joy, peace, and hope will be your realization. I invite you to believe in God just now, So, that to God you would choose to bow.

To a friend who I esteem with pride Do we worship the same Deity? Must our differences divide? As a Christian, to the Bible I am faithfully tied. As a Mulsim, the Qur'an is your source for piety, O my friend who I esteem with pride. As a Christian to Jesus Christ I am alied. And you, a Mulslim, see Christ to be a reality. Must our differences divide? Both of us ask God to be our Guide. Our hope is Heaven to be our destiny, O my friend who I esteem with pride. In the only true God you do confide. Eternal life is knowing the only true God, Jesus tells me. Must our differences divide? Appears to me we're on the same side, I confidently declare with jubilee To my friend who I esteem with pride. So why must our differences divide? Click here to love my novels Happy Birthdaywww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
