Standing Up From Sleep
R-ising up from slumber I-s good to the mind; C-omplete hour of sleep H-as made you feel fine. E-arly rise from slumber L-ets you have a fresh start; L-ight ahead will shine, E-vening chill will depart. S-tanding up from bed A-fter the sweet, sound sleep N-ever lets you feel bad on a promise that you keep. L-et the twentieth November U-se the dream so...

Songs of Hope
Songs of hope ring out this night People gathered under street lamps Naming those who have died In United States led detention camps We now hear how much they lied Our bowed heads with many tears Each drop a life separated inhumanly Children left scared and facing many fears What happened these last few years? Was this hatred always simmering Under the crust of apple...

Premium Member Love In a Crowd of Hate
Love stands alone in a crowd of hate, Hate all painted in red, Hate sitting to perfect attention, Believing whatever was said, Believing the lies of hurt and spite, Spreading the ache for a thrill, But love stands defiant to this, Love happily restarts the rebuild, Creating a new from the torn up of old, Washing off hurt with...

Standing Up
She left the meeting in a fit of rage So near to completing they rattled her cage She decided to quit throwing in the towel In refusing to admit she had run afoul A few days before in a weak moment She walked to the store the money was spent But she wouldn't concede and just come clean She denied the...

Premium Member Standing Up As One
The chasm between our political minds grows wider every day; Verbal attacks on party rivals have become the accepted way. How many more congressmen must be shot before this tactic is undone? Citizens must demand a change in plan by standing up as one! The “house divided” analogy is coming back into play; Candidates want to win at all costs...
