"The Day The World Died"
By: T.C.Fulton
You were the voice in the crowd..
You were there when they all listened..
How quiet you were?
How loud was the cry of nature?
Like a mouse in a field you waited..
The parking lot..complete..
Like a bird in it's nest...you rested..
The sound of the last tree..
When I fell...I fell hard..
Rocking the earth to it's core..
When the last songbird died..
We all cried..we wanted more..
You watched as they built the mall..
Nowhere to run..in the street..
What a messy way to go...
Nature..trying to be free...
You didn't think it mattered ..
Your perfect little space...
When the world died..you were content..
Floating in space..
Imaginary world .. artificial intelligence..
If only you would have listened..to that bird..
In her nest...
She would have said..save me..
Let my little children live..
We don't need another house..another road..
We don't need another mall..another school..
We need a field..a forest..a stream..
We don't need imagination..to dream..
We need sunshine..we need rain..
We need love more than intelligence..
We need hope more than inspiration...
If you want to save the world..
Stop Changing it..Nature has a way of
Erasing our mistakes..if you leave it alone..
Long enough...a baby bird..will learn to fly..
Take the time to listen..before you die.

Travis Fulton Poem
“What it means to be American” by T.C.Fulton
The struggle for freedom..
The sacrifice..
The blood..The sweat..The tears..
We the people..
Don’t tell me..I don’t belong..
This crowd has a heritage..
These people have a dream..
We believe in freedom..
The honor of all..
The unity of all..
Every member of this nation..
Has faced struggle..sorrow..death..
We have chosen to lean.. not on our government..
Not on the differences..that we all have..
We have chosen to lean on each other..
To trust that together ..One Nation..
One people.. Under God..
We will become the best that we can be..
We will overcome our fears..our imperfections..
Our mistakes..our failures..
Though sometimes..we hurt each other..
We forgive..Though sometimes we see things
differently.. We compromise..
When we fail.. we fail together..
When we succeed..we succeed together..
No heartache ..will we ever face alone..
Our Faith..our hope..our love..unites us..
One family endowed by our creator..
Together we face the future..
Knowing our strength..is a house united..
One United States of America.

Travis Fulton Poem
Of The Day..the hope that ran away..
The many faces..filled with fear .
The many places..coming near..
So what if you don't know me..
I was your friend..
I was your family..
Lend me your heart..
I haven't much left for the stranger..
The cold dark place inside..I hide..
Running from danger..
What if I gave you the thing...
That dark scary thing...you know...
That evil..thing that scares you..so..
What if it made you sick..for all the world to see..
What if you were sick..like me .
Would you be afraid..Afraid to be my friend..
Would you pick me up..and lend a hand..
What if I was dieing in my dark and hellish place..
Would you risk it all to save me..
Would you.. not be too afraid..
Would you be my hero..save me..
And walk away..unnamed...

Travis Fulton Poem
“Clouds” by T.C.Fulton
Just a lonely cloud in the sky..
In a crowd of clouds..was I..
Surrounded by..a light..a ray..a beam..
Illuminated by..the lack of me..
There I beheld..a tiny speck..
In my shadow..a little fleck..
To my esteem..this withered soul..
Was unjust to delay..to make it whole..
The You that must..be waiting to be..
The Flower without rain..afraid to be seen..
Your beauty it hides..behind your tears..
Your strength denied...by ghostly fears..
This is my gift..I rain on you..
Have Faith..little flower..
Have Hope..it will come..
You will blossom and grow..
In tomorrows sun.
