‘A Beacon’

You MUST take action instead of trolling!

A sample from Book 10

  A Beacon
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 through the tiniest notion
 –every vocation
each unique imagination
  
 one nation
stands for liberation
 she's not a simulation
 she's reality's verification–
 there's ramifications
if tied by dictation
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 no unification of nations
 can match her situation
 no militant formulation
 can undermined her creation
  
 she has limitations
push her motivation–
 her wrath's determination
 unveils against aggression
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing
  
 all look upon her manifestation
 for freedom's not suppression
 it's an awakening sensation
 unmatched by any's validation
  
 she is liberation
 the beacon of hope rendition
 to all oppression
 she is the united states of america–
 under God†
she is one nation
 to the world's population
 she is their mandation–
  
 being free is
God's† given human condition
 not under bureaucracy regulation
 not under controlled restriction
 but through
the self's desire for liberation
  
 do you hear it– 
ring, ring, ring
 liberty does sing

‘Leave It All Be’

Just Let the Children Learn!

A sample from Book 4

 Leave It All Be
  
 ma' lord...be gone
 your grace here...so wrong
 ―stayed on track
non-constant watching back

 I can tell a book mighty fine

 yes...fourth grade it was
 cuz books were a fuss
no longer my lust
  
 I's a bit slow
but stories...they do go
 I's 'member the row-boat
 ―that train that could go
  
 readin' fast and all
 ―grades began to fall

 I'd have straigh b's

‘Ignoring Secular’

Teach About Jesus! Please Do!

A sample from Book 4

 Ignoring Secular
  
 demeaning the family
corroding society
 dictating
educational responsibility
 overshadowing parental vocality
  
 secular taken the role
 our children―
no longer do they grow
  
 parents...listen!
retake your control
 only through your soul
can your children grow
  
 reject their way of school
 Jesus†...your most powerful tool
 make them drool

 your parent rights
there's no need to fight
  
 for every christian

back into your life
 every husband
every wife

His† light
  
 it is your responsibility
 ―against secular animosity
 to teach christianity

‘Transformative Change’

Educational Reform: Nothing New Has Happened!

A sample from Book 4

 Transformative Change
  
 things are done with all good intentions
 there goes
america's lack of education
  
 in the year 2000
 the dumbing down
continued its endless round
 all have lost concern
 going to school
meant...all children had to learn
        
 all have forgotten
it's not easy to teach―
 some are hard to reach
 all have forgotten
teaching's not for pay
 but to help our young
make their own way
  
 over sixty percent
of this destructive wick
 ―those in poverty
couldn't read a single lick
 forty percent of the same
abandoned
 this education game
their reason― 
not at all lame
 their teachers no longer care
 their parents not willing to bear
 ―to graduate
why even dare
 ―passing each grade
wasn't rare
  
 pushing them up
 ―better for a teacher's cup
 to end this sorrow
 a new scenario
for america's tomorrow
 ―more american children
for a faster diploma flow
 president george w bush
offered a texas push
  
 no child left behind
his posted sign
 his slogan and promise
to quickly diminish
  
 too many chiefs
 ―round and round
goes the wreath
 out went― 
competition of the best
 in came
a constant evolving mess
  
 accountability― 
a hypotheses of reality
 failed quite miserably
 this change― 
under bureaucracy's rug
it was swept
  
 parents having a right―
 their child's mind
still behind
 to a new school
they're free to go
 this conceptional insight
 in texas― 
proved right
  
 from 1994 to 1998
58 to 76 percent
 ―third graders
even with their grade-level line
 proved bush's advocate
 improved
school management
  
 america's liberal kite
 ―their dumbing down bite
 wedged their fight
  
 endless control
endless laws
 they sank their claws
getting their way
 no matter
how many unconstitutional flaws
  
 from the right to kill
an unborn child
 mile after mile
idiots gone wild
 without parental intervention
 children can make
their own decision
 straight to the clinic
abortion―right to take life
 the way of hypocrites
their whining fit
  
 young adults under seventeen
 no more driver's license
 wiping out privileges clean
 before age of twenty-one
no more spirits
 consumption undone
still...at eighteen
 for freedom
they can kill...die
 with a machine gun
  
 liberals fighting to prove
 before the age of twenty-one
 not yet fully grown
 young minds
must be given time
  
 every young adult
they demand
 must follow
their every plan
 the diploma-for-ever-young-woman-and-man
 became their cause
 so here it goes
 ―the unseen blow
  
 all those who can
 ―those above the slow-moving clan
 forced to be equal
oh! so simple
 all those
so bright―so smart
 pinned down
with a liberal-halting dart
  
 no child left behind
 grew a different kind of vine
 a simple concept
they could never accept
 complication...their invention
 instead of a parent decision
 more controlling
by every administration
  
 no more higher-order thinking
 our school won't be sinking
  
 federal money
will be our honey
 began the lust
for higher ranking
 now the threats
continued dumping down
 liberals kept
just a new way around
 bush's easy conception
every child will read
 a forced liberal interception
 the department of education
 ―bureaucratic corruption
 forever changed america's direction
  
 instead of increasing the minds of children
 water-down test
we do confess
 our scores
no longer in stress
 teachers with high standard
once forced their students
 moved constantly forward
instead of backward
 with challenging assignments
 single control of their classroom
 instead of individual ways
doing what liberals say
  
 teachers now burned
 ―lower your standards
slow down your pace
 don't make it hard
so all can move forward
 no longer I want to see
 in your records
a failing grade
  
 assignments not turned in
 on a test...comes an f
 on the teacher's back
their fault
 threaten to be sacked
  
 children who struggle
now are lovable
 we don't want to see
 them stumble
or you'll be in trouble
  
 new kind of administration
 teaching― 
now a miserable occupation
  
 now here comes
the liberal bureaucratic climax
 to all this crap
the intelligent...held back
   
 for the mentally challenged
we now clap
 teachers stabbed in the back
no more play  

 at age three
school every day
 gone school-yard recess
 lunch now
a disciplining quest
  
 equalism―liberal fascism
 their hidden sarcasm
 turned bush's
no child left behind
 into an american education crush
  
 their dumbing down scheme
moslem ideology
 lurking behind the screen
thrives
 as american freedoms
slowly die
 leaving all
asking why

‘The Passion’

Where Is the Passion For Christ?

A sample from Book 2

  The Passion
  
we live in a closed fear
our laugh a bit queer
He† died on the cross—
so we may not be lost
  
we build a big house
we’re not treated like a mouse
He† was beaten by a strap—
releasing us from our trap
  
we worship the almighty green
it matters how we are seen
His† skin fell from his body—
while they stood laughing
  
we spend wanting the best
who cares about the rest
His† mother watched her son—
evildoers had their fun
  
we ridicule the less fortunate—
breed cruelty and hate
His† skin soaked in blood—
hitting the ground...raging flood
  
we spit the hungry in the face
carrying around a can of mace
He† wore a crown of thorns—
so we can be reborn
  
how much more can we take
how much more can we fake
  
He† forgave us for our sin—
how many prayers can we lend

Don’t Be Baffled By Today’s Politics!

A sample from Book 10

I don’t see why because they have been telling you how they are for years. I’m not as into the politics today as I was years ago. Things just seem to keep going in the down direction, and there’s way too many people arguing instead of doing.

I know in my own home the argument over politics was huge. Being in a mixed relationship didn’t help matters as all this black/white issues took center stage. I have never been a racist. I’m not privileged. This seemed not to register with my ex-boyfriend. It saddens me on how many people believe this B.S. There are many people who believe they are privileged. I’ve seen them. I’m glad I’m not one of them. What follows is part of the Introduction to my last book on politics, Book 10, in My 12-Book Series.

Don’t Fix What Ain’t Broken!

A sample from Book 4

That was my question as I went through year after year of constantly starting over as a teacher. Yes, there’s things broken with the American education system…but they are constantly trying to fix the wrong things.

The following is from the Introduction to my 4th Book in My 12-Book Series during my denial stage where I focused on everything outside of myself and my home instead of focusing on the important stuff. What I discovered will amaze you! The only thing I could do was write a book about it and offer simple solutions to what the higher-ups makes so complex.

Reading American History In Rhyme!

In order to understand what it means to be an American you have to actually study American history. The following is from the Introduction my 3rd Book in My 12-Book Series. As I stated below, this wasn’t my intention, but we do follow the path that God sets for us.

“How do we confront our past without destroying our own selves in the process? Just like the next person, we want to deny what we’ve done and move on without ever thinking about it again. But do we really come to terms with it? It is the year 2017. I’m sitting in yet another apartment. Apartment 714. It is strange. That number adds up to 12. That number can mean a lot of things like the 12 tribes in the Bible. The 12 months of the year. The 360. The chance to start fresh. A new year’s beginning.

A lot has happened in my life since this book was written. A lot has changed. Then, again, a lot remains the same.

My Focus On Politics

As I Lived In Denial and Isolation!

A sample from Book 2

You go back and review the past 10 years or so. The following is from Book 2 in My 12-Book Series. It was part of my denial stage when American politics took a front seat to what was happening beneath the surface.

“Writing about history, much less history in rhyme, was never my dream but something deep inside redirected my journey.

Throughout history, I’ve realized, poems live on pass the generations who wrote them. It is also our reality that America’s younger generations rather music than reading books. If you listen to their music—not just hear but listen—you’d realize that each verse is in rhyme. Lyrics are poetry. With this in mind, and as a former teacher, writing history in rhyme makes sense.
