my grandmother’s name is Verna

some look at her and see section 8, welfare checks, abuse and neglect

We star it off with Ben Franklin,
American renaissance man,
whose industry and sharp wit
made him the richest in the land.

before the country ever was,
entertained with his writings and
helped discover scientific law.
Pushed hard...

History, it has always seemed,
at least it always has to me,
Is not something to be forgotten,
For from it much is gleaned.

It strikes me as more sensible,
if I may be allowed to say,
that's history is not...

We've many differences.
You yearn for and demand respect.
I prefer to earn it but could care less...
if you respect me or not.
You shove a bullhorn in my face.
Force feed me your warped points of view.

As if in opposition it stood
Like a distress call from a precarious time
Juxtaposed perpendicular to an open grass laden field
A horizontal girder of ominous warning
A marker of trespass.

Abandoned, it was kept secret for many years

I remain motivated to subsist my presence amidst no regrets,
Nevertheless, this implies my shadow that ages hence begets,

I appreciate it obeys me amidst enough dynamic passion,
Ergo, this remains irrelevant unspecified acts of digression,

Happy birthday USA!
From your birth until today,
You have come a long, long way.

Two hundred forty-five years ago,
The U.S. was birthed in rebellion's pride,
Declaring independency from King George's rule.
Freedom from tyranny would not be denied.

From thirteen...

A fitting anthem for
an introvert like me-
Simon & Garfunkel's
scrumptious harmony
of “I Am A Rock”

encased in fortress castle
with books and poetry

I was a rock,...

Breathtaking scenery 
Beautifying our lives 
Adding a meaning...

So while we’re here don’t wait for fame
Or any monetary gain
With knowledge and some common sense
You’ll find financial recompense
For information is the key
To gaining...

Brings expansion to life in style and grace,
Independency destroys affectionate lace.
Reality of dual sponsorship, nature’s base,
Delivers such beauty in everyone’s face,
Securing the future of a perpetual place,

All aspects of life and death take time.
