The old rule of thumb when dealing with police used to be to act calmly, obey the officer's request, provide ID, and comply peacefully. If any infraction occurred it could be taken up by a court date and a formal complaint. In most cities or counties officers and deputies are held accountable with files on their behavior and Internal Affairs investigations to ensure that allegations of corruptions are dealt with. Yet, today we have…

The Lunar Light

I sought the answers way too soon

Somehow I collided with the moon

Lost my sight from the lunar light

I think it happened some time in June,

Freezing in the shadows of a Martian dune

I marveled at the ancient ruins,…

Over the European skies of World War I he reigned supreme. In his distinctive red Fokker triplane Manfred Von Richthofen was both feared and respected for his air combat genius. However, on April 21st of 1918 the "Red Barron" as he was widely known, met his fate at the hands of the allies. Considered the most brilliant combat pilot of World War I and one of the most revered fighter pilots in the world, Manfred von Richthofen left his mark…

Playing in The Dark

Looking through the Devil's eyes

Meanwhile trying to find the end of Pi

Living in the nation of the third eye

Forgive me if I let out a sigh,

My country's led by insane men

If it was ever…

The year is 1836 on this date the battle of San Jacinto was fought. The Texans and Mexican settlers who wanted to make the region their home had tolerated the military from the Mexican government for some time and a previous string of battles had been fought that had driven the army beyond the Rio Grande. Texas has become a fascinating possibility for many pioneers and well known personalities drawn to freedom…

The Empty Palace

Here I sit in my sad empty palace

Abandoned by a woman named anything but Alice

It's located a short distance from Dallas

I never intended ill will or malice,

Three sides of my house reveal the lake

Why am I alone for goodness sake?

So, is it soul searching in which I should…

My Insane Little Angel

My insane little angel my insane little angel

What kind of mood might you be in

Well I could never tell

Just when I thought things were going to gel,…

On this day in history, 19, April 1775 events leading to the War of Independence for the 13 Colonies began. Tensions had been brewing for years between the American colonists and the British army. Taxation without representation, search and seizure without due process of law, the imposition of Royal Crown currency subject to inflationary cycles, and suppression of the news among other issues caused a backlash that would brew into…

By Your Own Hand

My little boy my little boy

You grew up to be a man

But things didn't quite go as you planned

You took your life by your own hand,

I'm left alone here on this hollow land

This bleak and shifting…

You'll Never Know

I thought I meant something to you

A true love that was gentle and true

In a chaotic world that doesn't have a clue

Only sad memories now all askew,

Like rain drops falling on my door

Just like…

In order for the Deep State to get away with what it has been getting away with for decades they had to keep Donald Trump from being re-elected. Legislators refused to respond to the evidence. Judges refused to hear the cases. Voter fraud was not only upheld but they kept the words…

Fighting my demons all over the place

Seems to be the absence of leather and lace

Sometimes I want to vanish from the human race

Just don't know if I can keep up with the pace,

Oh my baby baby what if you had stayed?

With my luck I would have paid and paid

Maybe after all it was better that you strayed

Please…

King Crimson, perhaps one of the most progressive and controversial rock bands of all time experimenting with fusion, integration of innovative musicianship, and the inspiration of several other bands created from the founding members splitting off to join new musical partnerships. Such bands as Emerson lake and Palmer, Yes, Circus, Giles Giles and Fripp, Yes, McDonald and Giles, Brian Eno, and even David Bowie all benefited from…

For decades America has maintained a huge trade deficit with China. Sending billions of dollars to China for cheap goods while American products are largely prohibited from being sold in the Chinese retail market has been a continual policy. To make matters worse China has been allowed to keep manipulating the value of the yuan. This means that the Chinese Communist government has not been transparent about its monetary value or supply.…

Every morning I'm forced to leave the world I've created

Deep in my dreams where I'm not threatened or berated

An existence where I'm loved and not hated

A place where egos aren't out of control or over inflated,

Is this playground of reality my only peace of mind?

Is this the only sanctuary I might find?

All those storm…

1986, the year that President Ronald Reagan ordered the formation of the Grace Commission to study the government's fiscal and tax policies. After leading America out of the worst economic recession since the "Great Depression" President Reagan wanted to expose the government's extent of accountability. Soon, after…

Beneath the Starlight

I've often wondered so filled with regret

Why you were such a wounded child before we ever met

It seems love is rigged by pain and the stage is set

From heartache you suffered and can never forget,

Many a time I wondered why you had so little trust

This is why passion and devotion all turn to dust

Love…

I'm just another fool trying to make it in this world of woe

Although I've thought about it my mind is moving slow

Now I'm always wondering about what I used to know,

Where did my family go? Where did my family go?

Just too many things in this world that we can't control

Sometimes it seems like life becomes a black…

For years the disparity in voter support and donations from big industry favored Democrats. As President Trump once said, the system was rigged. Every big corporation from the phone companies to the unions donated heavily to the cause of leftist leaning policies favoring a political party that has been largely…

Like Hail Stones

It seems like she was the last song I would ever sing

The last time I would ever share a spring

She was more than just some frivolous fling

We can't always see what life will bring,…
