SHOWCASING A  NEW YORK GEM  WITH  A  PRICE ABOVE RUBIES

Dear Gatemouth,

You are truly a valuable New Yorker  who  is generationally significant and historically important, endowed as you are with your unique and magnificent background, turbo- boosted with intellectual firepower, you have delivered an awesome series of columns which addresses not only the issues before it with the clarity of an eagle’s eye and the unyielding grip of undeniable logic, but even identified some of the remedies that voters might wish to address by unleashing their democratic instincts. 

Your columns, aside from being poetry-in-action and some of the finest pieces of political  thinking and writing, has secured to our children's children a coherent worldview  for the ages and beyond into paradise himself, which without your efforts, might, in the vision of Milton, be lost  for eternity. Your work is also the convergence and coexistence of thought and reason. It is like the late leader of the Brooklyn Democracy himself, drawing his partner’s share while filling my pockets with bountiful receiverships. Your efforts are truly  masterpieces, on the level of  the “The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation” or “Bitches Brew”.

The gleam in the Statue of Liberty’s eye, and the freedom it effortlessly symbolizes, is stronger and brighter as a result of your noble efforts; jewels in the crown of literature. Any among us who have not comprehended the genius of your accumulated efforts, need look no further than the 50 pieces you have posted upon Room 8,  overlaying their majestic clarity  upon all who dare to  gaze upon their reflected glory.

The Empire State has never been stronger  than it has been since the year of our Lord , 2005, the year you began blogging.
