I wasn't listenin' to my mom, in the back of the Pontiac
Just jumpin' and frolicin', like a little maniac.
I wish like hell I could go back in time
Those choices are not yours, and especially not mine.
Somewhere in the wreck, the windshield found me
Later I learned, it was just a bumblebee.
As the deputy carried me, bleeding and scared
I saw my brother's body, lifeless and bared.
I could only ask,"Is he alive?"
You're dammed right I want to burn that bee hive.
I was 6 and he was just 4
My brother was in a coma for several months more.
They ducked taped me down to that hospital bed
To take out the glass imbedded in my head.
Mom was injured, but ok you see
Who the heck else would care for Mike and me.
She hit a telephone pole, trying to roll the window up
I'm sure I helped, not shuttin' up.
As the days wore on, life gave me a scare
Get your dad mad , only if you dare.
I have no recollections of the beatin's you see
Don't hit my brother, take it all out on me.
Slowly but surely, I gained some age
With every day, came with more rage.
One fine fine day a recruiter you see
Introduced me to the USMC.
They straightened me out, and I learned YESSIR
The past of my life became a blurr.
I fought for this country and would die for you
Those that are able number a few.
After the war, I thought life would be pleasure
Simple and easy, nothing but treasure.
Hell, I'm home and it feels so good
The govt hurt me like I knew they would.
One thing that I do have to say
I still have psychotic thoughts of my dad today.
I'm ok because I have the LORD
I won't be the one who jumps overboard.
By the way, my brother,smaller than me
Was six foot tall when I came home from Iwakuni.
Mike is great and better than me
He is married with a great family.
He overcame and so will I
I'm gonna fight this till I die.
I love my family that I am fortunate enough to have. I know there is a whole lot of hell in front of me-I'm not fighting this battle just for me-it's for every vet that did not get a fair shake-If I can change one little thing for the better, then it is worth it-I am happy to hear any suggestions to help our veterans-thank you
For those that don't know I am referring to disability benefits from the government.
noah-just getting my head clear-this is better than therapy when I open up-oh yes, there is much more-first off, I am ok-have to be for my family-
My question is to our country-Do you want cub scouts and boy scouts fighting? Or do you want mad, and angry Marines, Soldiers,Navy, Seals, and Air Force personnel doin' this business? By the way, the Coast Guard saves lives every day-but you don't hear about it-SEMPER FI
thank you vol-it just helped to get it out-maybe people can read between the lines and say, "oh that's what's wrong with him".lol-no, it's not really funny, it's reality- thanks for reading

I myself tend to hit the speed bag and either kick or punch the hell out of it. At the end of it all I tend to feel a hell of lot better.
And it's also one of the reasons why I'm staying away from watching any of the political debates as they've become too contrived and nonsensical.
Below I've provided you with a couple of links to some of my most recent pieces. As and when you're ready just click on the text to view. And by all means do leave a comment. I'll look forward to reading them all ! Chimin' out.
TOP-I look forward to reading them-no time now-but I will-Wanna hear something scary? I believe you and I see eye to eye on a whole lot of matters that encompass this ignorant, beaurocratic, red tape infested, elmer fudd run society

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell this administration can pump $700bn into the financial system. But yet our schools and roads are in such a f##kin' mess. Never mind the fact that they also sought fit to fill that bill with $400m worth of pork for such things as investigatin for the uses of wool. And also engratiating the owners of auto racing tracks across the country. Never mind the fact that they're also giving between $50-$75m to the manufacturers of wooden bows and arrows as a way of helping them expand their market domestically as well as internationally. What's up with that ?
Please calm down and don't have an aneurysm ! It's only the government showing us how asinine they've become.
TOP-I'm calm-just have a headache-lol-just finished helping my step son with 7th grade homework-lol-social studies about the Middle East-lol-I'm in a good mood

And when he asks you about the $700bn bailout what are you going to tell him ?
I've got a tutoring lesson this weekend with some college bound students in economics. I know for sure that I'll be at a loss to explain to them all of the intricacies behind it all. Needless to say I'll have to try and find a way to explain it all expediently.
As for the debates themselves I'm staying away from them completely. I don't think that either candidate are saying that I myself am not completely aware as it is. It's all become sedentary and all style over substance from them both !
Just let the ALCS and NLCS begin for god's sake ! I needs my baseball and NFL fix. And above all I'm looking forward to this weekend's Florida LSU as well as Texas Sooners' matchups. It ought to be a fun filled sporting weekend.

I for one am just hoping that they're still be books in the schools to learn from. As it is the educational budgets are being cut with the efficiency of surgeon in many cases. And then at times they're being done with all the efficiency of a blind person swinging a hatchet aimlessly.
