Deafening Silence
This is not based on any actual event, however there are many instances like this on the news where drunk driver have killed people and basically got off with a slap on the wrist ... I called it 'Deafening Silence' because this seems to be happening more and more yet there seems to be silence on this subject ... a silence that is deafening

Worlds within...
When I was young and naive, I believed the world was out there, I looked at the vast continent on which I was born, my beloved Africa, And I drooled, What beasts were hidden just beyond yonder? Who lived just across that river? What was that ju

Ron Paul
Gearing up for the election. The Federal Reserve is set up to make as many nations in debt as possible, and they have been working on the United States since 1913, when they and the income tax were made into law. So it will not matter if we vote for Mitt or Barack, since they are both shills for these rich fat cat bankers.
Making my life...

Service For This Country

Adapt or Starve
This is about all the events in life that happen that are out of our control. If things didnt go your way then you have to take action to either adapt to the situation or take steps to rid yourself of the burden. My original intention when i wrote this was to come off as aggressive and fed up, but ive learnt not to push too many powerful feelings across to the reader and let them substitute their own.

Everyday at about ten a.m.
Everyday at about ten in the morning, The same thing happens over and again. The same people as usual go out, Leaving behind wives and children at homes. Still the earthquake does not shake the ground. As the evening nears, the same people Head

True Freedom
Freedom's struggle is one faced by every human being living on the planet earth today. It happens every single day in all our lives. True freedom is not caving into the pressure of public opinion, but standing tall and making your own decisions. In most of today's world public opinion is formed without any real knowledge or analysis of the facts of the issues....that's sad...."so don't believe everything you hear"....could never be more true. Take a stand against tyranny everywhere
