"I Was There"

   

I was there in the black.
I was there in the void.
I was there in the confrontation,
You avoid.

    

Did you think that no one would notice?
Did you think that no one would care?
Or have you forgotten,
That I was there?

      

I was there in the black.
I was there in the void.
I was there in the confrontation,
You avoid.

   

Did you doubt?
Did you question?
In the time before,
What was done?

     

What did you think?
What do you believe?
What from the shadow,
Do you receive?

  

You are the only,
The only one who knows.
The secrets of where,
This goes.

 

I was there in the black.
I was there in the void.
I was there in the confrontation,
You avoid.

Do You Know The Cost

"Do You Know The Cost"

There really are no answers,
Other than the place,
You allow your wondering to rest.
Regardless of how trivial or monumental,
The test.

You can place importance,
Upon those intangible dreams.
Then lost to the smoke of time,
It seems.

You can place importance,
Upon that which you can touch.
Perhaps the storm winds will blow,
And you will miss so much.

That which is gone.
That which is lost.
And only in its value to you.
Do you know the cost.

Occupy LA - PLEASE READ & SHARE 4 EVERYONES SAFETY

My friend is participating in Occuply LA today, here is a timeline of todays events, sounds like everyone did a good job (Including Law Enforcement)

7am PST-Occupy LA organizes near 4th Street and Figueroa in downtown LA. The Service Employees Union is the main organizer & they are there in abundance. The plan, march to 4th Street and Fig & set tents out & circle the tents in an act of civil disobedience & wait until they are arrested

9:23am PST-The protester's permit expired at 8:23 am, it is now an hour later & the police have assembled about a block away from the main sit-in. 18 have linked arms & encircled the tents that are in the middle of the intersection.

9:50am PST-The police are using a tactic to separate the main protesters (the 18 in the circle around the tents) from the rest of the crowd by simply pushing them back with merely their presence, the crowd is responding to their request to move back.

10:00am PST: Riot geared officers are about a block away, but do not move forward, as regular uniformed officers disperse the crowd.

10:30am PST: The crowd has mostly moved to the sidewalks & now there is a double row of people, officers on one side, and the Occupy LA organizers forming a line on the other, keeping the two sides separated.

10:45amPST: The officers in riot gear have moved in and formed a circle around the circle of main protesters and are now beginning to move them an arrest them one by one. A police videographer is there to document each arrest.

11:00am PST: All is calm, the main 18 have all been arrested and the crowd is moving peacefully to 4th and Flower, in front of Bank of America for a small rally.

THX Lucky-Dog Stephens ! Pass it on for everyone. It's silly for anyone to get hurt that includes Police, protestors & bystanders.

Old Doors

"Old Doors"

Our path of life,

Leaves us with many old doors.

Some that you miss,

Others hold resentment from before.

Everyone glances,

Down those old halls.

Faded frames of old doors,

Litter and adorn the walls.

I have one old door,

I reinforced with concrete and stone.

I sealed the frame,

With dreams, flesh and bone.

When you lifted your hammer.

Only debris after you razed.

In utter disbelief,

I cried as I gazed.

The fact became clear,

Nothing can resist gravity.

The romantic fantasy faded,

As it fell into reality.

Honeybee

"Honeybee"

The world might be beautiful, 

If you couldn't see it for what it was.

The tiger is alluring,

absent its teeth and claws.
 

The shark is fluid,

As it glides the seas.

Still coldly dark in it's eyes,

and teeth.
 

The honeybee is brilliant,

As it hovers on fragile wings.

Beautiful like humanity,
Deceiving with it's sting.

The Land of the Free

   

"The Land of the Free"
~~~
Mobilize into action
We are American after all
Crumbling ash
Blinding eyes
Mobilize
Hear the call
~
The innocent suffered
For what indecent cause
And the ignorant in far away nations
They offered applause
~
And why should I care
It of course was deserved
We offered our arms
And this cost
We reserved
~
We
~
Well of course that would include
You and me
And of course it doesn't matter
If you can't see
~
We are American
The pagan, the God fearing
And the others
Yes
They are we
~
The Buddhists
The Muslims
The Christians
The Jehovah's
Oh and yes of course
~
Me
~
We are Americans
Or can you not see

From the outside
~
These boundaries don't exist
In this country of we
For we are America
The Land of the Free

’Twas A Night Around Christmas

   

“ ’Twas A Night Around Christmas ”

  

See our smiles?

That light in our eyes?

Just another Christmas,

Nobody fought or cried.

 

Suddenly so quiet.

Suddenly so gone.

In those irrevocable weeks.

So much went wrong.

 

Before you could see.

The joy of our smiles.

The bright in our eyes.

‘Twas only for a little while.

   

‘Twas a night around Christmas.

A soul dimmed in the house.

And nobody noticed.

Not even a mouse.

She knew us and she loved us.
Se would never be less than proud of us all.
She was awesome and we were blessed.
Never doubt that!
