GUN CONTROL

Gun Control
is a Misnomer

For who
Controls
the Gun?

It is We
who are
out of Control

We solve
our problem
with a Gun

We should have
a Waiting Period

Before
we fire off

We should check
our Background

To see
where we are
coming from

We Should
Pray to God

Before
we Lose Control

For where
we are going

Who is in
Control?....

FIRST AID

The First Wound

is Self Infliction

Triggered
By Your Will

Your Choices
are
The Ammunition

Fired Off
by Your Will

Your Aim
is Self

Looking Through
Your Sight

Targeted
by Your Will

is it Wrong
or Right?

Truth
Will Answer

When
The Wound is Self....

AN OLD OAK TREE
[OLD OAK TREE] [lady bug]


YOUR PHOTO IS BEAUTIFUL
I HEARD LADYBUGS ARE GOOD
FOR THE TREES .
MAYBE YOU CAN NURSE IT BACK
WHERE THERE ARE THE LEAVES.
LIKE ME NEXT YR 70 I WILL BE
AT LEAST YOU GAVE IT YOUR TEARS

DEDICATED TO
THE OLD OAK TREE
FOR THEY'VE GROWN
WITH GRACE


POEATREEMAN

I STILL HAVE MY HAIR AT LEAST IT'S STILL THERE(:
IT MAY BE GRAY AND OLD YOU KNOW
YET I STILL HAVE THE BARK ON THE TREE(:
IT MAY BE PEELED AND WORN A BIT
YET IT IS STILL HOLDING ON TO ME.

AN OLD OAK TREE

You are
a Young
Flower
I am
An
Old
Oak
Tree

You are
Blossoming
While
I am
Withering
Away

I had my
Spring
When
I Blossomed
too

Yet
my Branches
are
not as New

My Roots
are Firm
Though
the Soil
is Loose

I will Fall Soon
be
at your feet

So Remember
when
I Stood

I
Tried
to be Straight

Perfect
I Was Not
For the Soil
was
not Great

I had my Falls
Limbs
were
Broken too

Yet
I Held Up
When Others
thought
I Would not

The Ground
is Opened
I must
Return to all

Shed no Tears
For
the Leaves
have
Finally Fallen.

Dedicated to Naomi Stansfield
A Soft Soul

A Poeatreeman

When I was
Young
I Tried
to be Straight

I Grew as Life
Would
have me Stand

Yet
I Stood Up
gave it a Hand

I Thank God
For
Letting me Sow

I had the Seasons
To Change and Grow.

A Poet’s Note

FORTITUDE

Do Not Say
Timber Yet
I Am Not
Ready To Fall

Do Not
Cut Me Down
For
I Stand Tall

If
You Want To Grow
Cut
No One Down

Then
You Will Stand Tall.

MAN HEAL THY SELF
[FIRST AID]



A POET’S NOTE

To The PEOPLE OF AURORA, Colo

Satan had His Carnage
God will have His Day
Sorrow is not Easy
Hate is not the Way
Love will not be Easy
When Hate is in the Way
WHY
Cannot be answered
So Faith
must be your Way

FREEDOM OF CHOICE
[BILL OF RIGHTS]


WHOSE LAND
ARE WE IN ?

THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

I PRAY IT IS MORE,
THEN JUST ITS WORDS.

THE RIGHT TO WORK
WITHOUT THE UNION.

THE HOUSE PLOWED
BEFORE HIS RIGHT,
WERE VIEWED.

THE RIGHTS,
TO HAVE A MORAL VIEW.

WITHOUT SOCIETY,
STAMPING
WHAT YOU WILL DO.

THE RIGHTS OF MARRIAGE.

WHEN CHOICE WAS TRUE,
NOW IT IS MANY
WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

THE RIGHTS,
TO SERVE MY GOD
WITHOUT
GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION

THE RIGHTS TO HAVE,
THE RIGHTS TO DO.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE MY RIGHTS TOO.

I FOLLOW GOD
HOPE MY COUNTRY
WILL COME TO DO.

Walt Disney World® with Disabilities
By Stephen Ashley

Lord
I was Handicap

I
Handicapped
myself

With
all the things

I placed
In my way

All
the things
that were
inhuman

With
all the things
I left aside

All
I have done

With
all the help
I could of been

I
left it all undone

By what I am,
and could of been

I
Handicapped
myself

For the body
is only a case

Holding
all I am

The Greatest
Handicap

Is to Encase
Myself.

FOR THEY HAVE SHOWN
THEIR HANDICAP MORE

YET IT IS THEIR SOUL
THEY IMPAIRED.

THEY HANDICAPPED.

Dedicated To The Union of Our Hearts.

A Poeatreeman

My union
is with God

I joined
when I found truth

My dues
are for life

My payments
to keep up right

My meetings
when I pray

I strike
when I find wrong

I rally
when it's right

My hall
mother earth

For God
has said!

It is where
we will meet today.

A Poet's Note

A union with God

Is one
who will never
need to strike

The rewards
everlasting life

My membership
eternity with love

My dues
the cares
that brought
me here

My love
I gave it to a tear

Now
I find
I am in God's eyes

Feeling
all his love.
Forever...

PRAY A BETTER YEAR WILL COME.

CHANGE MUST COME FROM YOU

AN HOUR BEFORE

It was an Hour before Christmas

When death came to my door

It was an Hour of life

That I live life long

It was an Hour of reflection

That showed me what I've been

It was an Hour of sorrow

For I've seen all I did

It was an Hour of repentance

For I had an Hour to live

It was an Hour of redemption

For I pray to God to forgive

It was an Hour of my Life

No longer could I live

It was an Hour when I was Born

That death brought me to Heaven

It was an hour

When I passed beyond the door

Eternity is open now, what do I do?

Follow that Spirit who said I am you

Now !
Where am I going?
Only where I was before.

A Poeatreeman

One Hour to make the most of Life
One Hour to mark a place in Heaven

Dedicated to Rose Prieto
Mark the Time
For it is not Long..
