Why is that when
you ask someone of money
things change:
One that has been chatting
with you suddenly stops.
He wouldn't continue in
the discussion.
Neither will she answer your question.
What power does money have.
That all always want her:
Littlun,aged and juvenile,
All want to rule over her.
Immediately you say:
'Please i need money,can you assist me?'.
The unmute becomes mute.
His inner man is stirred,
Her sacred interest is protected.
One who respect you
Withholds the respect ,
because of money?
Giving out gives back:
in cash,kinds or virtue.
Money tend to control many feelings,
That they like the wind
range as regards money's rule.
When i have i give out,
But when i don't i ask.
But why is it that when i ask,
People don't seem to give?
But before people ask
i willingly give out.
Many profess to love,
But cannot give out money.
Afraid of stranger?
But you're a stranger in the earth.
One who seem to be your friend
Turns overnight to be your enemy
because you ask for money.
Why?

Columbus was not the slightest bit offended
At King Ferdinand's dismissive sound
When he declared the world was round,
His was not a plan that very many comprehended.
Though the queen, Isabella, thought Chris a fine fella,
Her spouse wanted nor hair nor hide of it.
"The horizon", he snarled, "marks the edge of the world."
But Capt. C. was convinced that the horizon was not the edge of the world and that India was somewhere on the other side of it.
"Well, the subject is moot, Spain is broke, we've no loot.
Coffers practically bare, no dinero to spare,
Such a venture is out of the question.
Why not Egypt, or Malta, or Crete, or Gibraltar,
Or something cheaper that we can invest in?"
As Chris started to go, Isabella cried, "Whoa!
Let's dispense with pecunious tomfoolery.
Though we've no ready cash for a project so brash,
I could hock some, or all, of my joolery."
So three ships were anointed, and westward they pointed,
And the horizon they bravely set sail for it.
But the monarchs soon bailed when Chris' treasure search failed,
And to Spain he returned, but no honors he earned.
Instead, he was stripped of command and put in jail for it.
Later, of course, his accomplishment was plain,
And a whole New World was laid open for Spain.
No, Columbus wasn't looking for America when he "found" it,
He just couldn't seem to navigate three caravels around it.

Mexican activists say we took Mexican land by war
From California to Wyoming, a theft they can't ignore.
They want the land back, and they see a way to succeed
Massive movement over the border, then one day to secede.
They call it "Reconquista": the new country "Aztlan."
They have help from leftists, who seek votes where they can.
Myself, I'm conflicted, why give up any state?
But as to fairness, its a reasonable debate.
On the other hand you can look at the Mayan empire
It didn't reach this far, even if they had the desire.
The Aztecs didn't either, it was only after Spain took charge:
That Mexico reached so far north, that Mexico got large.
There's a lot of outreach from Mexico to migrants here
They talk of U.S. materialism, but the irony is clear
The migrants come for more "dinero", that's the main drive
If not materialism, then what makes them arrive?
In World War One, Germany feared the U.S. would join the fray
So it tried to get Mexico to help it fight the U.S.A
It said Mexico could get Texas, California, with Germany's aid
This outraged the gringos, and a price was paid..
But the dream of Reconquista still rises, it remains
And again, I'm conflicted, were those states ill-gotten gains?
We made excuses like "Manifest Destiny", or a Texas border fight
I can't wrap my head around who's wrong and who is right.
I don't want the package of Mexican rule and leftist control
Arizona is part of our history, California played a role.
Don't want to learn Spanish, or bow my head to a cartel
There are problems south of the border, things don't go so well.
But the Reconquest is big, I'm reading "The invisible Coup"
Peter Schweizer writes of what activists want to do.
Birthright citizenship also means Chinese fly here to give birth
Brought up in China, then a million voters on our turf.
These are issues to confront; do we make a stand?
Did we take it by force, do we belong on the land?
Mexico was taken by conquistadores, maybe they should go back to Spain?
Arguments go both ways, but hard questions do remain.
Way back in 1983,
when I was just twenty-four you see,
very early in my career,
young, naïve, somewhat cavalier,
I wanted to buy a brand-new car,
something sporty, not some "boxcar".
Of course I had the money, the "dinero",
so I went out and bought a Chevy Camaro.
It was a 1983 Sport Coupe -
rather appropriate for my age group.
The color was diablo red,
and lemme tell ya! It sure turned heads!
Everywhere I went, that car got attention
and I won't deny it gave me an air of pretension.
Looking back, I suppose I was young and foolish
thinking that the car made me look coolish,
but that car was dependable
and took me where I needed to go,
whether on winding roads
or on the straight and narrow.
Now I have a treasury of memories:
its sounds, touches, and sights as well;
I still can remember that new-car smell.
Your first car is something you fondly remember,
forgetting the flaws, looking back on its splendor.
