Premium Member The Obiturary of the United States
Lower the flags to half mast,
America the Beautiful has been gutted,
Its word emptied of all meaning,
There is no jubilant throng singing,
“Glory, glory Hallelujah!”
Our nation’s heroes rise 
From their earthen graves enraged
And cry out to the heavens,
“Have our cruel deaths been in vain?!”
Their ghosts march en...

Premium Member The United States of America
Our justice system is far from perfect, but it is what we’ve got
Just because you break the law, doesn’t mean you deserve to die or get shot
This is the United States of America, we are not a third world nation
If you don’t live here, then...

The Constitution

Words on paper, 
Written by people of another time. 
Written by people to protect “the people”.

Individuals that fought for;
their families,
their homes, 
their towns, 
their cities, 
their states, 
their new country!
America.

The land of the free! 
The men and women that fought and paid in blood,...

YOUR LEADERS FAIL THIS GREAT NATION.

THE FAILURE OF TRUTH HAS ERODED YOUR FOUNDATION.

YOUR BORDERS ARE BEING INFILTRATED.

YOUR LEADERS ARE PLAYING POLITICS WITH YOUR PROTECTION.

The Reunited States of America
Dark clouds on the horizon the hour is quite late.
    As I ponder my destiny and wonder my fate.
The foundation of my life was set in soft sand.
    With no guidance from above where does one take a stand.

Three States of Aggregation
If water is life, death is ice, indeed.

The frost does not call for a long walk, 
but it turns plain water into diamonds, though.

Only a month ago, 
the lake had a staring contest with the sky 
and apparently, the lake blinked.
You didn’t have the slightest...

Premium Member America
Oh land of the free
And home of the brave, where are you?
Where is the torch that hearkens
The tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free?
When did freedom of religion
Become acceptance of
Only one religion?
When did freedom of speech only exist
When the listener and speaker...

A rabbit in a magic hat
The moons silvery sliver, slides behind the veil of dotted light, as the man on it, hides his face from our sight
Flowers from their stems
Leaves , which once were green and full of life, become dry, and fall off as...
