Identity CrisisHe says he saw "(this nation's)
Identity sold and robbed by immigration..."
And I remember
My first day teaching at the border school
First one there that August morning
Cows were grazing on the lawn
I walked into the office to report them
and the secretary laughed, "They're Hector's.
They sneak over the...

Their leaders signed the Declaration of Independence, though they knew it was treason.
Because of their belief in the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
They were willing...

Citizenshipbeing born in a certain place
having a relation with a certain race
a melting pot of every creed and color
yet one race with each other
being born in the United States
each of us having a different face
yet being here by Gods grace
a freedom found like in no...

PatriotismPatriotism is in the air,
And sentiments high,
Cataclysm is over,
Liberation heaves a sigh!
Insufferable inequality,
Now is ineffable ecstasy,
Undeterred determination,
And honourable judiciary !
Providential independence,
Undisputed Unification,
Living to credence,
Spirit of nationalism!
All men created equal, by creator endowed with certain,
Unalienable rights- life, liberty and pursuit of happiness!

Jurisdiction of the EyeThere is a potential so pure in your nature
that it be nexus between diviner and rapture
where freedom finds the fire of Prime Creator
deep in the brain's interior, a glandular mind expander
crossfertilizer of electrochemical ego and soul sorcerer,
the pineal pinnacle, receptor of solar miracle,...

Mount Rushmore, Carved in StoneMount Rushmore; Carved in Stone
From deep within the earth’s crust,
An orogeny pushes
The batholith upwards
To become ‘The Shrine of Democracy,’
Of weathered presidential faces
Chiseled in rock in South Dakota;
Representing 150 years of history
(From birth of a nation
To entry into the 20th. century)
In carved images:
Of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt,...

The Shoes of AnotherWhat does one do, when they feel forgotten?
What good are tears unseen or sobs unheard
and when the tree of liberty seems to be rotten
because they’ve been dismissed and rejected at a word?
What does one do, when they’re silenced
for viewing the world through their own eyes?
What...

Fluid In the Wind Tattered Old Glorythe cool breeze fondles
the old tattered flag as it
hangs on the flagpole
displaying it's frayed faded
colors of red, white, and blue
fluid in the wind
drawing your ears to the flags
flapping sounds trying
to tell manifold stories
of men and women's valor

Madness and CivilizationUmmm...
What's the difference?
Who are we to think we're so smart?
Who gave us the God (always male) who told us that?
How's it workin' out for you
thinkin' 'bout
“unalienable rights”?
Or thinkin' 'bout how
you're gonna pay your bills
when your salary's frozen
but the price of food and gasoline
isn't?
Age old,
I'm told.

The Longest Day of WaitingLife on earth is a large platform where people show the highness or lowness of spirits of their lives. A queue in time bargaining for the much-awaited satisfaction in life. Just like in litigation, we all undergone proceedings in order to determine our unalienable...
