Goodwill towards all men

Goodwill Towards All Men


As I look around me at the 

world today I just shake 

my head in great disgust

 with nothing else to say.

 what has happend to us? 

and why are we here? What

 are we doing to fix it? why 

do we all need to fear? what

 does it matter the color of 

a man's skin? Why does it

 matter what a persons

 religion is? Where is all the

 love that we are supposed

 to show? Why do we have

 children living on the streets

 with nothing to eat or drink

 and nowhere to go? Why do

 we have veterans coming

  home from unwanted 

wars who are battered,

 beaten, and bruised some

 coming back with no homes,

 diagnosed with PTSD, and 

no jobs, like our government

  just threw them all out with

 the garbage when they were

 done being used? Why is it

 that we as people cannot

 just all get along? Does it not

 say in the bible to love thy

 neighbor and to praise God

 and sing his song? I hope

 that soon for our children

 that we can all get together

 and get this all figured out

 until then I will continue to

 write, scream, and shout

 about the mess that we have

 placed ourselves now in until

 we find Peace on earth and

 Goodwill towards all men.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all a...

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
