1781

  1781


The fight against Briton

To protect young USA

Was at a cost of many men (heroes)

That September 8th, 1781, date.


They knew freedom was a just cause--

Should causes be needed.

General Greene at the command:

The men knew they would conquer.


That South Carolina plain turned red--

Blood of the fallen and wounded.

Their town was on fire: without a shepherd!


But, as miracles go, the Brits cavalry

Started to leave, shooting while backing away, 

Fleeing to their country.


Our patriot fathers that died that day

Spent their lives for us all. Two hundred plus

Years later remembered as brave and American--

My freedom gained by their fall.


Thank-you patriots in "sunny spirit land,"

From this free nation that wouldn't have been.

Your memory will never be dead.


**after reading Phillip Freneau "To the Memory of Brave Americans"

Baby

 Baby Baby, baby, baby, I been takin' that long walk home tonight... Skittle doo bop, alright. Then, woah! pop!

So, applying what I'd read, I exclaimed: "Please, please me vivacious!" Her posture's arched and leaning back, flaunting her legs and waist just for effect. Her hips are arched to her front, as if in climax and she's in a skirt design known as "easy access." Woo, earth angel, earth angel-- God help me to keep it together. My hard wood rod is at full stance though I start walking over to approach her. Suddenly, a Hoo-Doo store employee yells out: "Where is that that th...

Economics

  Economics June 20th, 2017      It's not inside economics, it's outside and who controls "THE HAND OF FORCE." What I mean is lenders and issuers are like one in the same to the people who haven't any collateral bargaining chips (land, vehicles, stocks, bonds, et-cetera).      Why should one man work full-time and still only have wage enough to drive a twenty-year-old vehicle; live in his parent's basement; eat frozen dinners: Yet the unemployed reap from the working-man's taxes and have newer things and more social life through the "free" income.       We (Americans) NEED Ezra Pound today! The system is broken, but they (the government) just keep hitting it: maybe the TV's reception will come back. That's no realistic way to fix the problem vermin chewing on the cord of the Americans. When did humans become like products, shipped like goods to other countries for work-yet we import back the same Gilden tee-shirt after the U.K....
