in produce fields dusty sweating farmworkers....

Hopes For The Election

As a mostly quiet American,
I have hopes for the election.
That no matter who wins,
there will be acceptance from
the other side.
Other people and I,
don't want post-election violence,
filling our country's streets.
We don't desire relatives, friends
bitter at their Thanksgiving tables.

I pray as I pen this writing,
that peace descends upon the nation,
so we as the U.S. can go into

Fate of America

Trump should be defeated with truth and democracy 
Not with weapons and zealous filled idiocy 

Crooks, a young terrorist and short-sighted halfwit 
Who sealed Fredonia’s fate and everyone who lives in it 
Yalda’s fate that gods, angels, and men can’t outwit 
Soon the shouts of people will make the land quake and split 
Even if

Years ago, a young man in Brooklyn wheeled his bike out the gate.
His plan, to cross the land, exact route left to fate.
The first week was the hardest, scared, he doubted his quest.
It took all his courage, he says, to keep heading west.
To conquer fear, he says, we have to face it and just go.
Don't

2019 Polar Vortex - Across Wide Band Of North America

Ordinarily, the weather
considered non trees
son us, a neutral subject on par
with non nose wrinkling odoriferous cheese
usually ranks as minor distraction,
without whether yours truly agrees

or not, except 
during balmy temperatures,
an unavoidable tease,
whereat sub zero degrees,
whether Centigrade or Fahrenheit
demands human sacrifice

(me anima knocking knees),
no negotiating with Ole Man

North America, Usa

North America, USA. 

Freedom, because of our understanding of the lack of democracy from other countries, fighting to maintain peace and be a civil nation, for humanity's hopes that we are all here for one cause, and one reason only. 

To evolve into something better than we were before. 
To search out and explore new

The Down Side of Twentieth Century North America

It can be seen all around us 
Hard times and its sounds
Companies closing down
Gas and fuel go up and staying unsettled 
Then they fall to their lowest in years
Melancholy awareness and tears 
War in other lands 
Religion and stained hands  
 Media melodrama
Families going homeless 
Foreclosure how sad 
To loss the only home you

The Geography of North America

Far away in a galaxy once unknown to man
A vision of mass seen from other land
She does rest there, with her people of many
North America a land of plenty

A sub continent broken away from years gone past 
She lies there watching with her coast land so vast 
Included are the sub-regions here to name a

In the 1600's of North America

And there she stood waiting to be settled
Upon the seas and rocks they peddled  
A vast wonder with the hopes of plenty                  
So onward they colonized in groups of about twenty 
From the ships they sailed for
