Imagine

Take a look around you, open your eyes to the pain, the world we live is dying faster and faster it seems like every single day, there is violence and murder every where with our children dying now in the streets, religious wars, and poverty so much it makes me sick, I pray to God but i am not sure if He is even at home, it appeares now that we maybe all alone on our own, what to we do just give up and look away?, We ourselves have created all the problems, humanity is the one to blame, it is time to close your facebooks, stop snap chatting the night away get up and go outside into the light and start taking back our streets and towns instead of living in fear within the dark inside, we need to start to dream again and imagine what that would be like, we need to, 

Imagine

Imagine a world one 
with no hate 
that has no prejudice 
that decides
your fate 
where white Is
winter and falling
as snow 
and black 
is the night against 
the stars in the sky 
and a full moons
glow
imagine that the
only colors
that are taught are 
Those of 
rainbows
and of crayons
In their box
imagine a world that 
has only one race 
where everyone is
equal and not 
case by case
where we all 
live in peace and 
war has now ceased 
no boundaries or
lines just wide
open space 
imagine a world where 
everyone eats
there is no hunger 
or poverty 
and everyone speaks
where we all care for 
each other in our
hearts, minds, and souls
where love is shown
wherever you go 
imagine a world where
we all can live 
to choose are religion 
and faith no crime
to fight and know
we are still safe
imagine it all started with 
the dream of 
one man a poet, a father, 
a stranger, a friend 
who imagined 
a world full of peace 
and all hate was to end 
imagine, imagine, and then
imagine again.

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...
