Journey

Down,
Up.
What can be expected?
Not much.
If you do not jump,
We can all see limitations!
But the Master can create innovations,
Not the popular way!
But there is a way.
Nothing can be achieved,
As long as you are deceived.
Far from this road shall I travel!
Sometime can be said for uniqueness,
It creates oneness!
Often in those joyful times of youth, 
I sought not the advise of elders.
But rather chose my own way,
Which challenged with greater difficulty my days!
One can learn but a price must be paid,
Will it be stop and listen or wish and mourn.
Life is great, but do not make this mistake, 
Take your life for another's sake!

My life's work "Challenged Conquistadors, Inc." has been referenced to Harvard University, Howard Gardner's book The Unschooled Mind since 1997 at Southern Arkansas University by Dr. I. Harris, Ph.D., which led to article written "Transformation of Handicaps to Challenges" by Professor Emeritus Ida Flemister.  That lead to Handicap International changing their negative name to Humanity & Inclusion, thus hi is pleasant, finally as I try to be!

"Reasons" was written at the University of Arkansas in 1992 for Black History Month, among others, (I can send, if needed) honoring the continued work of my colleague Mrs. Sandra Dupree, who married now Mrs. Sandra Goodwin, I have her letter from 3.26.02, if any questions of my wisdom?  Texas continues to dishonor by not allowing to teach school as of today two years after www.texasteachers.com 12.5.16 assured employment.  Many in Texas feel I am a fraud, phony, fake, etc., since not allowed to speak about my Harvard University referenced wisdom.  As Sergeant at Arms, Beaumont Toast Masters and National Science Teachers Association member #20039 since August 2018, also member of Rehabilitation & Engineering Society of North America, Knowledge & Translation Disability Rehabilitation Research, Journal of American Medical Association, 1997-2018, etc., many feel not wise of fear for required safety helmet, Dr. Indupalli, MD, 409-835-4907.  The Beaumont Better Business Bureau has all the documentation since 12.22.17, when honesty was affirmed by Dr. Senthilkumar, MD, 409-838-4338, witnessed by Bro. Steve Buser 409-651-8778.

Beaumont doesn't want accessibility for their citizens, as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1974, & 1990 ensures?   My book is The Best Quest at Amazon.com to encourage all to thrive over trauma.

Reasons

Reasons

Sometimes we think, 
Sometimes we drink!
Sometimes our mind,
Is lost in liquor or wine!
The trouble between both black and white, 
Is that each see their view as right!
Let's work together for a single master,
Instead of fighting, which ends in disaster!
We could try annihilation of others,
But I ask you, who would go first!
With so much deviance in our behavior, 
The human race is quickly becoming a disgrace!  
With more and more conflict, prejudice, and discrimination, 
What is becoming of our so-called wonderful nation! 
It is not too late for us to live in assimilation,
But the longer it is put off, this leads to disorganized nations!
All of us have God-give rights,
Why can't we live together, peacefully & quiet?
Let's all work together and end this vicious cycle,
Let's stop xenophobia, before it destroys us!!!

Realizations

Realizations 
 
There was a boy, Who played all day.
His name was Jam, He laughed all the way.
Sometimes sad, But others glad.
Sometimes he had, But was very mad.
Until he viewed, A young man stealing a toy.
Jam spoke aloud,
Yelling come play with me, Young man.
The young man stopped on a dime,
Could he believe his ears this time?
Someone to play with at last,
Jam inquired his name.
Peanut Butter he exclaimed,
They got together, their differences caused a change.
Which was great this showed their intelligence!
Jam had found a friend,
From desiring a toy, but realized a greater joy!
Thus Peanut Butter and Jam got along just fine,
They leaned that others joys can be others toys!

Decisions

Often in my life,

I deal with hated strife!

Through many ways,

yet no one pays.

It seems so needless,

The burdens I carry.

For in this life,

I have nothing to prosper from.

It seems so endless,

The worry I bear.

For from nothing came nothing,

but yet I still care.

Tell me this, 

Yes, I am sick.

I cling to this & that,

There is a season & a reason,

for my deliberated indecision!

Often I turn to the sky, 

to look for help from the Almighty Eye,

I do not know where to go,

for I have been both here & there,

You tell me this, 

Am I right or wrong?

Puppets On a String

Is it a state of confusion or unlimited knowledge, 

where are we to go?

When one is down and beat, 

why do we allow?

Many questions, which have been asked before,

the common resolution is one must perserve!

There are many paths to take or not.

what is the loss, if one takes no risk?

There is a method, which is sure to complete, 

this approach is often ill destined.

The question remains, what is the euphoria or the misery?

What must, one do to realize their fate?

Results are so inestimable, but risk is so extraordinary!

What will you do?

Be a puppet or an innovator like I,

"A Challenged Conquistador!"

Risk Takers can be Winners, 

WAKE UP WORLD, LIFE IS RISK!

No Questions, No Rewards!

Nothing!

Tradegy

It is with a heavy heart, I daily live with visible signs of regret.

I've tried desperately hard to be a valued asset.  

I've been beaten from within & without, by our emotions & unsafe streets, which should have been ensured by our laws, 

but who listens, since brain harmed.

Trauma can be wise, if one doesn't dwell on past, however others must ensure 

success by forward thinking, not demanding hateful - fear.

When one believes achieve receives success, they too can exceed limitations, as I.

Belief that I am vaulable, others must see, before I am of value!

My expense is burdening (you have no idea), since no job.

Will others ever see, I was created to be of Brain Wise Saves Lives value?
