Premium Member Long Forgotten
The tree of life has roots to the beginning of time infiltrating depths unfathomable lost in the nebulae of bygone memories the illusion of neat lines soon tangled in a fog hiding stories obsolete and long forgotten Diluted storytelling buried beneath fresh tales and soon hazy with its clouded details the feats out of mind fade into oblivion facts turned to hearsay are...

Premium Member I Am Human: The Ancestry in Me
I am that human, who is proud and strong, I am that human who was once wild and free. I am that human climbing mountains, who struggles to reach its highest peak, Only to climb back down and do it all over again. I am that human who is adventurous, That long to travel the oceans, lands, seas and skies, In...

VEIL OF BLOOD
Crimson hue, last stain of life with ears, Ritual’s mark, from hunger and thirst earth drinks, Thick and red, a crimson rain, that sacred flow! Binding souls in eerie light and, Draws like a moth to light. Emotions, weightier than a thousand on a scale Veiled in dark, that haunting stain in treaties. “Blood is thicker than water” ...

Totality
We find deep inside ourselves The traits of ancestors therein dwells Grandpa’s eyes, our Mom’s hair Our stature from … who knows where? What we claim as thought process We may be forced to re-address Twas Grandpa Lee that caused, you see, Our newer minds to think like he. Our gait, as we walk around Has origins in history bound Great-aunt Edna, strolled about With identical...

Premium Member Sins of Ancestry
Burning in black flames of eternal woes, my heart yearns to find answers it's needing. Skin begins to wilt like a winter rose, bruised from deep wounds of internal bleeding. Haunted by sad soul's whimpering mourning, shards of hope crack like dire demolitions. Stumbling and crumbling without a warning. An endless demotion of emotions. Hail of tears plunder on marble tombstones. I question the...

Ancestry
Written By: D. Collins 6/23/23 Let's all take a serious journey down memory lane. From where the world's current oppressors originally came. Didn't Vikings conquer, pillage, purge, and even rape? Spread their seed around Europe then later invade the states? When you got to America genealogy suddenly kicked in. You became Vikings and slaughtered Native Americans. If there is documented...

Premium Member February: Black History Season
The History of Black People, And all of our People should be celebrated Year-round: every day, week, month, and decade. The celebration should go on unabated, All the time. The first couple, Ever existed, had dark skin, said Many credible historians, Archeologists and great citizens. The month of February is evidently too short. Twenty-eight days are not enough, To commemorate our Brave People, who've fought And...

Premium Member Researching Your Ancestry
Digging through old ledgers seems a drudge But searching for long-lost ancestors is fun, The LDS Church can give you a helpful nudge For they have records on almost everyone. Dim documents in out-of-the-way courthouses Include dusty old ledgers of marriage licenses, You can discover names of parents and spouses If you can spare time traveling long distances. Good information comes from grandparents Who...
