T'was the Day After Christmas
T’was the day after Christmas, and through every state,
All the sheeple were stirring, and in heated debate.
Their words were scary, as they said “WE ARE RIGHT!”
And the Patriots just stared in God-awful fright,
The sheeple were all happy with their government meds,
While Obama the savior danced all around in their heads.
With Patriots planning what’s our next move,
Eureka! “It’s the President we must remove!”
On the Whitehouse lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to the TV to see what was the matter.
I grabbed the remote in such a flash,
I fell over the chair and landed with a crash,
The sun was high over the Whitehouse on the TV screen,
Gave the image of that building a weird eerie glean,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
The Patriots showed up and their message was clear
With their signs held high, with their guns in view,
I knew in that moment as the masses grew.
More and more they were coming in for the kill,
As they screamed, “You will never, break our will!”
"Now Patriots! Come one, Come all!”
“Lets stand together, strong and tall”
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
No surrender! No retreat! We will never fall!"
Americans marched with one goal, one mission,
Obstacles were dealt with prideful tradition,
So up to the Whitehouse the masses they flew,
Hearts full of fury, the Secret Service with no clue.
And then with a blink , a commercial or two,
Something happened, but hey we already knew.
As they smashed through the door, and looked all around,
Through the halls and rooms not even a sound.
As word spread of what was found,
It got all quiet there was nothing , no sound,
And a voice rang out from way in the back,
As the patriots gathered and waited for the attack
The words were clear, strong and true,
“Hey, everyone just between me and you,
It was in his mind this country was his kingdom,
That little man thought he could steal our freedom!”
With a roar of victory, all the patriots cheered,
Really, is this the clown we all feared?
From his evil grin to his floppy ears,
This story will be told for years and years.
With the flag in our left hand, the Constitution in our right,
We raise them in unison, held high with our all might,
Our fore-fathers would be proud for what we have done,
As Americans held strong and stood as one.
This is a story is one that might become,
One of many, can be a final outcome,
Every patriot always keep one thing in sight,
“FREEDOM” TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

About this poem:
This was inspired by the Twas the night before Christmas....... I changed the majority of thewords. Used a few from the original. Im not posting this to say its mine, so I dont know who to get permission from.....but hope you like this anyway.American's Vow
American people hear me now,
The time has come to make a vow,
Within our borders, there is a storm growing,
Nameless faces, never showing,
The time is now to make our stand,
And one day our children will understand,
The fight we fight, is for all to see,
The fight we fight, so our children will be free,
Things we learn and what we pass on,
Are slowly being taken, until they are gone,
They will seek to destroy in what we hold dear,
To hold us hostage, for us to live in fear,
Heartless souls with a false destiny,
Seeking their glory for eternity,
We the few who see the light,
Will never stop putting up a fight,
Through words of integrity of our strength and will,
The American people will never stand still,
To watch them destroy the fabric of this land,
Its something these people will never understand,
We the people its what we believe,
How this country was first conceived,
We salute the flag that flies so high,
It’s a feeling that we will never let die.
So bring your forces, try to take our rights,
We the people have you in our sights,
We are the ones that will save this land,
United we stand hand in hand.
Listen good and listen now,
This is THE AMERICAN PEOPLES FINAL VOW!

Cold, Hard Realities
Sensory stimuli make us naturally react:
Happiness, laugh,
Jealousy, mad,
Heartbreak, sad,
Offensive, attack,
Victory, glad.
This is just a matter of fact.
We know who our friends are:
We know who we can tell almost anything.
We know who we can call when we’re in a pinch.
We know who we can rely on without a hitch.
We know our opponents goals and strategy:
Manipulating, back stabbing, secrecy,
Trojan horse invasions masked as intimacy,
Empty adoration, promises designed to deceive.
Cold, hard, and cleverly calculating:
The rat race makes us behave this way.
If we’re mindful we enjoy occasional fleeting escapes.
We protect our juggler from the cut throat games we play.
Personal emotions are noncommittal, secondary:
Apt to be fickle, they can get irreparably messy.
If constricting freedom they become totally unnecessary.
They have very little value if our interests are fiduciary.
The good die young, and the strong survive:
There’s zero tolerance, no need to compromise.
We’ve perfected pretense, and love to despise.
Truth is obsolete, our foundations built on lies.
It’s the first day of 2014, and I’m keeping it real.
I’m looking forward to what this new year reveals.
Eager to see if business culminates in equitable deals,
Or more off course driving, and spinning of wheels.
Sensory stimuli make us naturally react.
This is just a matter of fact.

Video Games
It started back in the early 80's
These video games had me hooked
Ms. Pacman started it all
She ate cherries, strawberries, peaches, pretzels, apples, bananas
The only game I could play straight through on a quarter
Golden Axe
You just went through killing bad guys and zapping them with majic
I played as the short guy with the beard and helmet
Then there was Arkanoid
A version of Breakout
You hit blocks and got special help
Lasers, bigger block, hold onto the dot, warp into next phase, life
Then Nintendo came out with Mario Bros.
I didn't have to spend my quarters all the time
I could get the same graphic quality at home
I now play on a system that plays old Nintendo and sega games
Played Ms. Pacman and Tecmo Bowl(football game) this morning
I played Tony Hawk skateboarding and pool on my playstation yesterday
It's been a long time since I bought a new system
I got my XBOX way back in 2004 from a kid at work
He got it free with pepsi points

About this poem:
When I put together this list I used the billboard top 100 list as I listened to Casey Kasem back in the 80's. I limited myself to the top three songs for each year, many years barely had three, and others had less than that. PSY's Gangnam Style has been my most listened to on the list.
risks
Being risky is so exciting in life
some things you don't risk like loosing your wife
loosing your life
Or your privilege to drive
You should never risk others
Like sisters and brothers Fathers and Mothers
friends and lovers
peace in the world or the respect of all others
Things that you risk
you surely should own
the material things
you never hear groan
things you might replace
with a call on the phone
some things you don't risk like loosing your wife
loosing your life
Or your privilege to drive
You should never risk others
Like sisters and brothers Fathers and Mothers
friends and lovers
peace in the world or the respect of all others
Things that you risk
you surely should own
the material things
you never hear groan
things you might replace
with a call on the phone

Post Commentgood and bad
So many things
can be good when their bad
You have to be happy
when you know you are sad
I like to watch
the very best
whether its watching a fight
or a bird in its nest
There is so much bad
In so much that's good
Its in every man
and in every hood
Sometimes its hard
to see what's good in what's bad
and you have to look hard
to see what you had
If life teaches us lessons
and makes us wise on the way
we know we can learn
from god and bad every day
can be good when their bad
You have to be happy
when you know you are sad
I like to watch
the very best
whether its watching a fight
or a bird in its nest
There is so much bad
In so much that's good
Its in every man
and in every hood
Sometimes its hard
to see what's good in what's bad
and you have to look hard
to see what you had
If life teaches us lessons
and makes us wise on the way
we know we can learn
from god and bad every day

Why does it seem
at the very first look
The bigger the girl
The quicker the hook
The prettier the girl
she wont even look
The smarter the girl
shes already took
If she is so strong
shes harder to touch
But if she had a big heart
I could love her so much
So many men
hurt so many girls
its amazing to me
they are still in this world
at the very first look
The bigger the girl
The quicker the hook
The prettier the girl
she wont even look
The smarter the girl
shes already took
If she is so strong
shes harder to touch
But if she had a big heart
I could love her so much
So many men
hurt so many girls
its amazing to me
they are still in this world

Post CommentDARE
Drug and Alcohol Resistant Education
The police officer comes into the 6th grade classroom
He educates the children on the dangers of drugs and alcohol
A man serving time in jail for drunk driving gives his speech
This is what can happen to you if you drive drunk
You can lose your family to booze
You will get drunk every day and lose
You will lose your dignity
You will lose your health
You will lose your wealth
So I still wear the shirts 18 years later
A gift from the first cop who came to my classroom
Did it help the kids who are now approaching 30?
I am reading a book on how most charities are ineffective
How most waste the money that is given to them
Is DARE effective in curbing abuse of drugs and alcohol?
Or does it encourage some youths to start up these abuses?
It doesn't really seem to matter
If it feels good then do it
Regardless of the results

About this poem:
Just started reading a book on the ineffectiveness of most charities. As this is the time of year to give to charity, I found it very interesting on how the number of charities has grown since our founding with the pilgrims. They now number 1.4 million.
The Commute
I am struggling
With the pace of life
Never far removed
From toil and strife
The hours drawing near
Life drifting so afar
All the time wondering
Who the hell we are
Is life really progress
When we have no time
Under so much stress
Travelling down
The highway so sublime
Ever careful to observe
To whom we must serve
‘Till suddenly at once
We have to swerve
Just to survive
With the pace of life
Never far removed
From toil and strife
The hours drawing near
Life drifting so afar
All the time wondering
Who the hell we are
Is life really progress
When we have no time
Under so much stress
Travelling down
The highway so sublime
Ever careful to observe
To whom we must serve
‘Till suddenly at once
We have to swerve
Just to survive
