We are children. Our eyes can see, we witness the horrors you say to keep between you and me. We are children. Our ears can hear, we hear the screams we cannot bear. We are children. our lips can taste, we taste the blood that was drained. From your hands, the marks like a brand. We are children. Our minds can think, we'll think of how to escape before you can blink. We are children. Our bodies are ours, not for the wolves who take and devour. We are children. We're smarter than you think, we'll scream until we hit the brink. We are children. So let us be free, and than we'll rest in peace.
TB in Kansas
has now spread to Ohio ~

Don’t stand beneath the mistletoe;
you’ll get hit by a rocket.
But if you’re going to kiss the girl,
keep helmets in your pocket.
Not a poem, a message for the love of brains, yours and your loved ones. Most doctors don’t know about this as conventional medicine is still catching up with traumatic brain injury. This recipe attacks the inflammation, helping to prevent an all out fire, an inflammation cycle from starting, preventing Post Concussion Syndrome from taking hold. I can tell you, PCS ain’t fun. Bless everyone, write this down.

This here is a public service announcement so listen close
I mind my business
walk thru life looking thru my own scope
I'm a believer of ying & Yang
as the ancient philosophers preached
"as above, so it is below"
I vibe high as well as low depending on my mood
so if my energy ain't for you
your presence from mine is what you might wanna excuse
my spirit and my tongue is absolute
so it's a rarity if you see me doing a one eighty
I'm far from obtuse I can't and won't dilute the pure me
trust me you couldn't walk a block in these boots
so here's a 21 gun salute to everybody who didn't make the cut
I wish you nothing but the best
but allegedly this is the fifth dimension
nothing is what it seems so everything is up for discussion

Constant
without fail always there
don’t mistreat it
nothing thrives
alone.
A landmass discovered in 1492,
A country established for me and you,
Now cover darkness with scenery,
Plastered “purple mountain majesties”.
O’ beautiful for spacious skies,
Gun violence conducts the children’s cry,
For amber waves of grain,
Nothing ceases the infinite pain.
America, America,
Hear our roaring plea,
America, I ask America,
For a great change to see.
Remember Lady Liberty,
Who stands to represent prosperity,
“I lift my lamp beside the golden door”,
Except today light shines no more.
What caused Eric and Dylan to hold the gun
What induced Nickolas Cruz to shoot then run
There should’ve been a stop since the days this begun
Now Adam Lanza pulled the trigger and then there was none.
America, America,
Lets initiate this peace treaty
America, now I ask America,
When are we really free?
Matches return to their books,
Having grown back their red heads,
Ready to sing a new fire
Bullets return to the magazine,
Having laid down a boy,
Making a body another story
Wind returns to the heavens,
Having made a house a dandelion,
Creating new chaos
Vocies return to their owners,
Having said nothing but boilded noise,
Preparing to elect fellow pawns
What is left returns to our palms,
Having been throughly weathered,
Still reciting the entropic melody of what once was
But never
What is now.
