It has taken time,
which I have little of,
for me to realize,
my lot in this life
is to help others,
strengthen or discover,
what their path in life is.

It is not my role to
tell someone what to be.
It is to help them
over hurdles, using knowledge,
I have gained through errors
or mistakes made in my life.

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence to announce the colonies' separation from the Kingdom of Great Britain, bringing a new nation into the world,
Although the Constitution provides the legal and governmental framework for the United States, the Declaration, with its eloquent assertion “all Men are created equal,” is the founding document of the United States.

It is now up to us, as the American experiment continues and our laws evolve in fact and interpretation, that we remain vigilant and make sure our leaders are faithful to the aspirational intent and vision of our Nation's Founders. Let's evolve by improving not by regression ant let's keep in mind the still very pertinent words from Thomas Paine's Common Sense  "......some Masaniello (opportunistic agitator) may hereafter arise who, laying hold of popular disquietudes (grievances), may collect together the desperate and the discontented, and by assuming to themselves the powers of government, finally sweep away the liberties of the continent like a deluge".  More

Run not to thee,
my favorite one.
Run to your Idol,
worship the Sun.

Religion,
a faith under the Sun.
Religion,
my soul to expunge.

When dreams are wrought
from stone and steel,
questions are raised about,
"Is this for real?"

If not the Moon,
that shines through hazy skies,
if life ends too soon,
it shouldn't be a surprise.

No one has ever said
life is fair.
If anything, life is unfair.
Only you can correct this,
by developing your strengths.

Realize, you're loved,
by many more than
you may realize.

Cold, was I,
when I started,
now here I am
all broken hearted.

Flushing my mind
of things,
which the edge
of madness brings.

Must this life,
I know,
be all there is
to show?

I know not,
what to do,
staying in touch
with you.

What light at
Dawns break,
brings me peace,
to take?

Alongside she came,
from out the sea.
A sailing ship,
not meant to be.

Money changed everything,
and a Privateer, she be,
attacking merchant ships,
which had gone to sea.

Riches, were hers,
as she captured money and crew.
An outlaw vessel,
carrying booty too.

One day she was stopped
by a Naval Man a War,
and her pirating days,
now gone for evermore.

Why was the question.
What was the word?
Awkward the conversation,
some never heard.

The road home,
is blocked with pain,
of our lost memories,
which no longer remain.

Once, was I,
a solid man.
Degradative downgrade,
what I now am.

I've found words I
love to write,
about life's joys
and not for spite.

Hurtful words of
ridicule and distain,
can leave this place,
never to return again.

Write of love
and how we were,
so many years ago,
when we were there

These are the words,
I've always known.
My feelings are out there,
my covers blown.

When love is the answer.
What is the question?
Feelings for another,
making you whole, once more.
