Judgement

Judgement


Do not ever judge me for you have never 

been where I have been or seen what I have 

saw or even heard the things I never asked to 

hear.

Do not ever judge me for you have never walked

in my shoes or wore my clothes or even worn the

many hats which I had to bear upon my head.

Do not ever judge me for the things that I may have

said or what I might even say today or maybe 

even tomorrow or what I may or might not have 

written now or in the past present or future as you have never

lived in any of the chapters of my life or spilled any

of my ink that drips with regret and strife.

Do not ever judge me for you have never seen the

wars that I now fight or ever fought in any of my

battles that I now fight or lost the things I have lost

or have forgotten of what I cannot remember.

Do not ever judge me on the places I have lived or

where I now live in or the cars I have driven or now 

drive for there have been times I have had no place to 

live or a car to drive in.

Do not ever judge me on the color of my skin the one

which I was born with and still wear and am proud of 

for you have no idea how I have been treated in my life 

or all my hate and scorn or feel my hurt and pain, even

anger or rage from broken hearts and the demons who I

fight every single day of my life.

Do not ever judge me for you are not my God and we are

not on judgment day this is not at the gates of heaven

and you are not Peter the Saint.

Do not ever judge me or anything about me or my friends

or family because, despite what you may think you will

never be better than me so until you can stand there and

look in the mirror and honestly judge yourself

maybe one day you can tell your own story for the people

that stand and judge all others should stand in front of all

they have judged and be judged themselves.

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 and we all matter bi

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

Will Still

Will Still The sun will still shine and birds will still sing the rain will still fall along with the leaves from the trees while the waves will still crash down upon the sandy beach  snow will still fall in the mountains in the winter at least who knows how deep the flowers will still bloom when it comes to the spring the rivers will still flow and the fish will still swim in the oceans and lakes birthdays will still come to blow out candle sticks christmas will still come except there will be one person less that would be me Just more food for you to eat maybe less presents under the tree then a new year will still come the next will still too bombs will still drop and bullets will still fly killing innocent people who will  still die in wars around the world before breakfast I never knew why the moon will still rise every single  Night just as the sun will fall in the  west making love to each other as they have done now for ages humans will still fight over some thing called religi
