death of an nation

the death of an nation

as my generation starts to fade ,

as all the hero's go the way ,

of the Gods.

through the haze ,

I bare witness to

the death of a nation

i see a presidency being brought and sold,

the people being brain washed by tons of bull,

they want change but they don't know what the hell,

they are voting for,

the issues most have not a clue

promises a plenty not enough on issues,

is it just me or are… Continue

JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD

Just a four letter word with powerful meaning

Something to hang onto when there is no rope left

Nothing tangible, nothing you can touch

Yet we cling to it, some for dear life

REALLY!

HOPE, the little four letter word

It has kept many holding on to it,

When there was no reason to trust its magic,

Nor its ability to keep them from falling

Can’t imagine the multitude of folk who depend on its ability… Continue

What's Our Excuse!?

Initially, I sent this video to my friends/associates on this site, but I felt compelled to start a blog regarding this. I really would like for those of you who shared your comments to write them here. I'm not sure of the exact title of this video, for I've seen it with different names, BUT the message is still the same - for those of us not in their situation - what is our excuse for not pursuing our passion, fulfilling our dreams, living the life we desire, and since I am Christian -… Continue

The Strenght of a Man.. Just wanted to leave a audio post..

I am dealing with some negatives right now. I have found that one of the most uncontrollable thing on this planet is the feelings of another person. You can only help that when the truth is revealed you don't lose too much emotionally, physically or financially..

To me its all a test and I am going to come through. Right now its a little dark, but my light is the Lord and even when I can't see I know he's there guiding me.. This storm shall… Continue

The Obama campaign is launching an unprecedented Voter Protection Program that will fight to promote and defend the voting rights of every American.

They're looking for attorneys, law students, and those with legal expertise to help with this crucial effort.

Justice knows no color

Dear Friend,

John McCain and Sarah Palin have stopped talking about the issues, and have instead launched a strategy relying on fear-mongering, racial divisions, and hate. The result is McCain/Palin supporters saying "kill him!" "terrorist!" "traitor," and more, at rallies, with the McCain campaign playing dumb in response.It's outrageous and it must stop.

Together, we can show that Americans of all races won't stand for this.
