"A Century of Change: Part III"

As decades advance, and centuries turn,
The world that we know will shift and will churn.
Through trials and triumphs, new paths will unfold,
A future unwritten, both bright and bold.

The climate’s course altered by choice and by care,
Sees...

"A Century of Change: Part II"

The twenties have dawned, and now we press on,
With challenges faced but hope not yet gone.
The world fights for balance, both weary and bold,
As new stories of progress and struggle unfold.

In shadows, new powers now flex and contest,
With...

"The Animal Kingdom of Personalities"

There once was a proud and fierce lion,
With confidence built like an iron.
He's bold and he's brave,
Like leaders who save,
And others can't help but admire him.

The fox, she's a cunning trickster,
With wits that can often out-twist her.

To Wish Upon a Dimm Lit Star

To wish upon a dimm lit star,
So faint its glow, as atoms are—
Just whispers of a primal spark,
Born eons back in matter dark.

It started in the thick of night,
When all was void and purest light;
When quarks danced close, then drifted wide,...

"America 2024 pt. 2, Beneath the Shadow We Stand"

In the land where liberty was born,
Where once we raised our voices loud,
The cracks are widening, deep and wide,
As fear takes root within the crowd.

We were promised a nation of equals, free,
A beacon of hope for all to see.
But now the...

"Into the Ashes"

"Into the Ashes"

The morning broke like any other,
A sky too perfect, a cruel disguise.
I suited up, kissed my kids goodbye,
Unknowing I’d walk into fire, into lies.

The call came sharp, cut through the hum—
A scream of sirens, a world...

"When the Towers Fell"

It was a morning like any other,
September skies painted calm and blue.
The hum of the city, alive with dreams,
Of things unfinished, of lives brand new.

But in a blink, the world was torn,
As shadows crossed that endless sky.
A sudden roar,...

"The Weight of Sand and Shadows"

"The Weight of Sand and Shadows"

In the land where the sun refuses to die,
I walked through a desert that swallowed the sky.
Operation Iraqi Freedom—just a name,
But in its grip, nothing stayed the same.

The dust clung thick, choking the...

"Through Dust and Fire

In the cradle of the desert where the sun burns low,
I walked through sandstorms where no rivers flow.
Operation Iraqi Freedom—my boots pressed deep,
Through Baghdad’s streets where shadows creep.

The air was thick with tension, hot and dry,

Introverted Soul

Alone I sit, in a world of gray, The colors of life seem far away. A weight upon my chest, heavy and deep, I try to breathe, but can only weep.

My mind is crowded with thoughts so bleak, No light in sight, no solace to seek. The silence of my...

Adversity and Pain

In the depths of pain, he wanders alone, A man with wounds too deep to be shown, He trudges through life with a heavy heart, And a soul that's been ripped apart.

He finds love in the eyes of a sweet soul, Whose heart beats in sync with his own,...

Shackles of the Mind

Amidst the darkness of my endless strife, I'm haunted by a deep and crushing pain, My heart is heavy with the weight of life, And thoughts of regret wash over me again.

My struggles seem to have no end in sight, And every step I take is filled...

Catching Clouds

I long to catch a cloud, to hold it in my hand, To feel its misty magic, and see where it will land. I'll stretch up high and grab it, as it floats above my head, And hold it close and tight, like a pillow on my bed.

I'll watch it change and...

The Outcast

A family outcast may feel alone,
Like a climber on a peak unknown.
The summit calls, the climb is steep,
A challenge that may make you weep.

The air is thin, the path is tough,
But every step, you climb enough.
The mountain's peak is your...

The Least Hated Three

Amidst the garden green and bright,
Where flowers bloomed in golden light,
Three creatures lived, with wings and legs,
Whose presence often caused some dread.

The first was birds, with feathers fine,
Whose songs would fill the air with rhyme,...
