America, America, Wake up!


      The song goes America, America, God shed it grace on thee, and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shinning sea!.  The truth is America does have brotherhood but not as much as it should be, we are divided over issues that many nations would laugh at and others would ignore.

        Skin color, the nationalities of each of us,the money levels we have and locations. Than on top of that division is religion and matters of history that divide us due to past wrongs done by ancestors not us. Look America we are all on one land mass with the exceptions of Alaska, Hawaii and some islands we took in, why can’t we just admit and accept the fact we are now all one nation!.

       The bitter fighting between political parties, races, colors, monetary divisions and religion must stop. America will destroy itself if these animosities are allowed to continue to divide us all. Sad as it all sounds otherwise America is a great country and we all know it, but will the problems I speak of start it’s downfall and demise? Like many great civilizations in the past, have we run our time out and will we ultimately fall as a nation into the ruins that captured and overran and destroyed other great empires? That question will be answered long after my life is over Iam sure, but it can’t be another 100 to 500 years away before Americans find out.

        Recently a statement was made by an actor who said, Barrack Obama is not the first black American President, well if he isn’t someone tell me, what he is. Ok so he may be a mixture as people call it, but isn’t it a fact he is the first non.White or caucasian President in the history of America enough?  And ultimately, what difference does it make as to what color your leader is as long as he can lead and get things done? Silly shit people say to make controversy is all.

        Also one more thing,did you notice that this 2012 Presidential Election is boring, slow to get started and in the end non-engaging for most? Very few are paying attention to either candidate, why? Because, Americans know that no matter who is in the Office, it is ultimately Congress running the show, and they are totally messed up and stalemated. In the end whether we re-elect President Obama, or elect Romney, it will be Congress that will either let things progress forward or die where it all is. Make the changes in Congress folks, if you elect a Democrat back to the White House give him a Democratic Senate and House, if it is a Republican the same must be true, otherwise America will sit still and never advance a damn inch in any direction. Sadly Americans it is time to be smarter than the people we put in  office and make the government work once more!

      

America, How do We Stop It?


      Across America everyday, more and more violence and strange acts get committed and people act stranger and stranger. Why is this can I ask?

       I believe fully Americans have lost sight of what really counts in their lives and what they need most. They fumble about, allowing their children to do as they please, addicted to drugs, alcohol and video games and yes even computers.  Why is that, well the morals and ethics of our forefathers and grandparents have faded from American Society. The churches have less people, the decisions made are made more loosely and the lack of discipline is fully apparent in the generation currently running the youth of America.

         When I was a kid in the 1950’s and 60’s, parents smacked ya if you spoke back, were disrespectful, and they did things like take away your favorite toys or, grounded you. Today parents are too lax and easy going. Discipline is totally lacking in America’s Society. Now I remind you I am not saying abuse your child, or destroy them, nor am I saying mentally torture a child no, I am saying for all things done wrong there must be a consequence and a result for all done right. Reinforce the good and discourage the bad. one must or society in America will become a rabid bunch of dogs, barking at one another and fighting till it destroys the country.

       Yes I believe the American Dream is still alive I just think too many Americans are letting it slip away because of a lack of morals, ethics and discipline within themselves, taught by their parents who gave them all they could and let them run wild. We have become a society in America who doesn’t teach our children what it is like to earn what they want, but we give them everything and spoil them, and ultimately it makes for a person of loose morals and ethics and beliefs who thinks they can do whatever the hell they really want at anytime and not pay for it if they did wrong. Sadly, proof of this walks across America each day, in the modern era. Children blinded and brain washed by Television, computers, and video games. They have no idea what a real book is, if it is not on a tv, computer or tablet or cell phone screen. Look around you, Americans at Doctor’s Offices, Hospitals, Hair Dressers, stores, movies and more, wherever you go some screen is running, keeping someone’s attention in check. Whatever happened to reading a book, writing a story or poetry,playing outside,playing board games with family members, all of the things that kept families intact for centuries in the world?

      American Society has gone from the we society to the me society in too many ways. It is no longer we the people united can do this, or that, or we fight together, or hurt together  or improve together. It is now the me society, I got mine and you don’t, go “f “yourself and get your own!. The days of helping a neighbors child or them, is gone, Americans look at one another with too much suspicion and anger and worry. Why because we allowed the American Society to get out of control, it needs to be reined in again and given some discipline and moral and ethics rules and character once more. Who will do this I don’t know, but, I do see America’s Great Republic and Society finally beginning to crumble much like the predecessors of Rome, The Incas. and The Aztecs. Will it happen, is it time that America’s reign as the world leader is coming to an end? It needs to be examined closely by the brains and geniuses in the world but as a simple middle class American I see it happening slowly all around me. The only question should be for American’s how do we stop it?

 

Reelect President Obama


In the 1960s, we had Kennedy and his brother to  run AMerica for a while, and he changed the world by opening Germany up, fighting discrimination and predijuce, and standing tall, till shot down. Then came Lyndon Baines Johnson, who tried in vain to be a President worth having but failed because he led us deeper into the morass of Vietnam. Following him came Richard M. Nixon a man many Americans say fell into disgrace and shame and brought dishonor to the presidency, but stop and think of this if your old enough, when was the last time gas was cheap, bread was cheap and there were real jobs, Richard M. Nixon had them. I don’t agree with all he did, but I do agree with him opening up Russia, China and the world so they could work with us not against us. In between Nixon and now who has stood up as a great President and did right by the country no matter what happened in their personal life? Well, my answers are simple, James Earl Carter, Ronald Regan, William Jefferson Clinton. Each in their unique way attacked the american economy turned it around and made it work for americans. Funny how it is when you look back at the presidency, in recent times only certain ones really stand out, don’t they? Is Barrack Obama one of them, I think so, who else would finish what their predecessor started and do it right? He got Bin Laden, he brought in Health Care, he is working overtime fighting congress to create jobs and in the end he pulls us out of wars we don’t belong in. I say he is doing a fair job in office, and he needs four more  years to keep going till finished.

       The second choice would be Mitt Romney and in my opinion he is no choice. Do you see any plans for rebuilding America being given by him? Is there a firm plan for creating jobs, and why go kill a health bill just to make a name for yourself when it is helping millions of americans to have it. Sad isn’t it when a candidate can’t be positive, and ends up being only negative and wants to tear down what good someone else did.Why destroy what works and helps Americans? Just so he can get a vote and make himself look good, wrong. He is rich enough as it is and he doesn’t need the position and has no idea on world affairs, employment, health care or anything else. He is talking out his ass so to say and we all know it, send Mitt Romney home and keep President Barrack Obama in office.

 

Mother’s/ Fathers’s and the Wrongs done!


Mother’s/ Fathers’s and the Wrongs done!.

Mother’s/ Fathers’s and the Wrongs done!


     In the past I have written blogs that dealt with politics, candidates and elections, lack of service or care from some companies in the market place, and of course my stories and poems I have written over the years.

      Most of my stories and poems are based on real life issues and events that happened to me or around me and helped form who I am as an adult. many of them, if people could understand will not leave my mind or unconsciousness untill the day I am dead and then buried, or in my case cremated as I want to be, by the U.S. Navy. The critical thing for many to know when you read my stuff is my family is a family that was divided from the day I was born and still is mostly today. Most of this division has to do with the treatment we received from two people in our lives, the primary parents we grew up with. Notice I did not say the real parents but the ones who were primary in bringing us up and raising us. Their differences and beliefs and styles left much lacking when raising children and almost destroyed all five of us all children and adults. Again notice I said almost because a few of us made it through damaged of course but still we survived and made it to adulthood on our own.

        Some women should never be mothers, because they have no mothering instinct at all. And they are too busy with themselves to be any good to children they have and they have no way of really showing love. Such was my mother’s ways, and unless you know her childhood or why you would have never guessed it unless you listened to the men she married. I did that and much more over the years even after she died and found facts none of her five children knew for the way she was.

       But those facts are for another time and place and story. The truth is some women are born not to be mothers period and that’s a sad fact, in my mother’s case I honestly believe that one. There were five of us, four boys and one girl and in America‘s society today, not a one of us really fit anymore, nor ever did.

         The eldest grew up estranged not only from his primary family because he hated his step-father in more ways than one and for more reasons than one, but because he was lost and still is today at 60 years old. All because of lies told by one woman his mother, sad isn’t it. Than we have me, I was a fighter in my own way a rebel without a cause as a child, because I knew the man who was raising me was not my father, and wanted to see my father at least once. Mom of course refused hiding his location, his idenity and location period. I found his picture in a photo album in her closet she never got rid of it period.

       So there were more than two men in my mother’s life over the years and that has become very clear over the 21 years since her death and cremation. It seems my mother had three men within the years 1953 to 1957, and had children by each one. The eldest belongs to an italian truck driver out of New York, she never saw again, me I belong to a man out of New Jersey who married her and gave her unnamed child his name and had me by her. By the time I wa nine months old there was a  change again and my father was gone and along came number three. who she married had three kids by and ultimately stayed with the longest, decades.

         In the end we had five of us as siblings growing up under one roof and the two eldest always questioning who they were till they found out decades later . So, for a subject today I tell this to the world and mothers and fathers everywhere. 

        To the Mothers out there having children make sure you tell and show your children who their father really is, identity loss or not knowing can kill someone.

           To those who Father children and then run away or are pushed away due to circumstances, make a stand, demand to see your children, demand to be a part of their lives, and let them know you and your family history. Don’t run because the mother is emotional and upset and acting crazy, hang in there ride it out for your child and give them the identity they need to make it in life. Be a factor men, don’t dump the child you made because you don’t want them, they will not always make it to be normal or a healthy part of society without you.

A Life well Lived when you Give!


     When your young the days pass so quickly and time flies by, the summers seem so short and winters so long. Seems like all you want to do is grow up and be yourself and have freedoms you couldn’t as a child. But then things change as you grow older.

        You reach your teens and you then realized you have things to do and people to take care of and who take care of you. Responsibility comes on you then and slowly you become a woman or a man. You age a little bit more and the urge to reproduce comes along, and sooner than you know, your married and your offspring has sprung. Your suddenly a mother or a father and raising little ones and before you know it those days have gone by and are done!

      Then you live on to see the grandkids come and slow down to play and laugh with each one.You have your aches and pains and memories and scars, but you don’t seem to mind as long as they don’t get away from you too far.

        Then you find yourself with the one you loved and built all of the home and land and  children with and finally have a little time to spend together. You gather round now and then, and have all the children and grandchildren around and play with them till the days do end.

       In the end you find yourself with your lifelong partner and friend, holding hands like school children once again. Slowly you while away the hours and days and years you see, until all that is left is her or me. Then the slow decline takes place you see, as your life ebbs away one day at a time for you and me.

       So when your young and full of life, spend the time with those who love you right. Tell them you care and want to share, and do so out of love and never fear. Enjoy life while you can for all of us, are only human.

     Make you life one to remember, do what you want to for a long as  ever. But always remember someone out there will miss you when you go and are gone. So family and friends, loved ones all, live life fully and have a ball! Aging makes one look back and you want no regrets before that end does come, for that is how life should be done!.
