History teaches us that in ancient times poets were the Commentator’s of their times. They were the individuals who brought injustice to the eyes of the community. Many gave their lives and their fortunes in giving to word the opportunities for positive change in society.
Today, we are dealing with the sickness of “Apathy” in our local communities, our State of Texas, as well as our country. The attitude of the general population is, “What difference can I make?” Such an attitude has allowed the average individual to believe all they see and hear in our everyday media, a media that is controlled by a few in high positions on city government in our cities, as well as our state, and especially in our country by Obama and his administrative criminals.
We now have in the Presidential office of our country, the “Anti-Christ” in all its forms who has taken over the future of our republic country. Control of our media with total lies about this individual is the first step in the lost of our country, as we know it today.
We as a nation, must stand up in our local communities as well as our nation and say, “Enough is enough.” We no longer will allow thieves and criminals to run our cities, our state or our country.

“Words Upon My Stone”
Someone asked me once
what I wanted to be
when I finally grew up.
I said to them
Let me be a poet
with words that are never forgotten
in my journey of life.
Let my journey be one of joy
discovered in sorrow
to all of those who read my words.
When death finally enters my door
a special note upon my stone
I request be placed in memory of me.
Upon an earth that I visited
for a short time.
Let the words
in simple chiseled letters
read thusly,
“He was not a simple man
for God did not make him so.
He only wanted to be simply known
as God’s Poet.”
