Campaign Speech
Some of the lies are really pretty funny, if you look at it like a standup routine, and not the truth.
blinded by an illusion

Guilt
Witnessed this incident yesterday where guilt was written all over a girl's face as she was confronted of something wrong she's done. Made me think why humans tend to find it easier to justify the action or become defensive instead of accepting and apologising. The good thing is in this case the young girl has a healthy conscience, guilt made her do the right thing in the end...adults are not that much different.

ISIS
I have been celebrating Halloween since September 15. I used to celebrate Halloween with ghosts, goblins, and werewolves. Now it seems I celebrate it with ISIS, politicans, and the police state.
The Honest Candidate
I get tired of all the lies candidates spew on their election campaigns. For once I thought what would they really say if they told the truth.

To Stir a Poet's Heart or Mind
Just a passing thought....Sometimes people forget that action speaks louder than words....and it hurts.... a lot more in fact.
Pride
Pride cometh before a fall the grave yards are teeming with the proud and the foolish The poor man rich man and the bard. the sulky teenager, the grumpy old man, all will touch the fire's of hell. Sail on by under silvery moons and Dante's sun
Apaachia little boys perspective

Officer McNulty
Got the name from a Twilight episode called "A Kind of Stopwatch". The rest was from my encouters with some rude officers at the fair and outside my apartment.
Connectivity is not what it promises to be...
people are more isolated now amidst all these technology...virtual connection is really not necessarily a positive human experience...the only good thing I get out of it is the fact that it shows us who's really interested in making us a part of their lives. It's been the best measure of loyalty and support I have known by far...
Man's Worth
Men don't cry. Some do, not many. Ithought how excruciating to pretend you don't hurt for that is when it hurts most. "Cry and you cry alone, But laugh and the world laughs with you '

Whispered Freedom
Emancipation was the key to the Promised Land, a sweeter, brighter, a more blissful life stretched out over time. The thoughts of freedom and freedoms came fearful like a powerful wave of sea water; a steadily crashing movement moving more away that
Faded Hope
More are forgotten, less are remembered, rejection is organized hate from a bitter dry well with flogged thoughts strapped in darkness with anger so deeply rooted and so cold. All is frozen in time embodied in fear, intimidated by prosperity, lost d

How Many Have to Die?
Bewildered as black people we stand between friends and foes, merging from different forms of slavery, but yet to be free; abandoned by the promise of forty acres and a mule to stake their lot. From the righteous ambition of this ill-fated notion we
Car Repairs
I knew if I called this mechanic he wouldn't say he was sorry or offer any apology, but I had to at least let him know it really ticked me off that they would treat me so shabbily. I don't know much about cars, but I learned this one from a neighbor who works on cars, if it makes noise when you turn, check the steering fluid, and don't overfill it or underfill it, or you will hear a squeaky noise.
making breakfast for the wolves
The maintenance man, at the request of a tenant cut branches from a tree outside her window so she could see the driveway.?? I thought what would happen if the tree did not turn c leaves because they could no longerolors in the fall because of too much cutting? Would we bargin an artist for his pallet to paint the colors on the leaves because they could no change themselves. There is no more snow for sleighs oly wet mud and mireand the sleighs are chewed up by the mud. Have we become so lax ss to give gall to a thirsting lam as they did the Lamb of God? Is there any hopthat we will care or will we become breakfast for the wolves??

July Third
Just got done watching a documentary about rape in the military. 20,000 women and 20,000 men are raped while serving in the armed forces while the perpetrators go unpunished. Now we are going back into Iraq, it's all pretty sad.
