As human beings **** the Earth dry
Let the animals and the trees rule
Let the water and air purify
May human beings spontaneously combust
And only ash remain
May man made objects and structures decompose
And quickly rot away
May the animals and Mother Nature recreate planetary balance
And let the poison memories and the toxic evidence fade

I feel like I don’t have a care in the world
As if I am a young child
I am free like the cloud blowing in the wind
The pit in my stomach is gone
My body feels like it is sinking deeply into the earth
The minutes seem to go by in slow motion
Every sound is becoming more distant
My lids are getting heavy
I roll into my warm cocoon
My subconscious takes over and I let go

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
You are my favorite birthday twin and TV writer
I’m honored to share this special August day with you
Your brilliant eyes see things that others don’t see
Your old soul knows things that others don’t know
Your spirit of adventure thrives on new experiences and ideas
Your creative nature allows you to make things that open people’s minds and hearts
The impact that you have had in others’ lives is so profound
You have kept our heads above water and did not let us drown
On this day of your birth, may all your hopes and dreams come true
And may you gain even more wisdom and courage with everything that you do

Driving off into the sunset often represents something being done
But I prefer to think of the situation as an opportunity for a new lesson to be learned
All the things that you have created
All the people that you’ve met
So much more than you would have dreamed of, I am willing to bet
So take all the good things with you as you make your next steps
With the knowledge that you brought so much love into this world
You simply are the best

They were young high school boys at the time
Too young to know what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives
An ill fated night of fun and games with friends in the park
After the street lights had just turned on and it was starting to get dark
Unbeknownst to the boys, a female jogger was out for a run
An unknown man had come out of the darkness and knocked her unconscious
He committed horrific acts of physical violence and left her for dead
After police at the scene first discovered the woman bleeding severely from her head
They put out a call that “black and Hispanic teenagers” were out in the park “wilding” and up to no good
An order was given to round everyone up and to bring them in for questioning
At that point the young minors were beaten, terrorized, and coerced
By the very police force that had promised to protect and to serve
Family members were confused, separated, threatened, and lied to
The boys and their family members were tricked into signing false statements
Framed by police and convicted by the media even before their hearings
The boys didn’t stand a chance despite having the support of their community and good legal representation
There was no true peace of mind the wrongful convictions could have provided for Trisha, the jogger
There was no true justice that could be served in those two courtrooms either
Five innocent boys were convicted and served long sentences for a crime they did not commit
Korey, Kevin, Yousef, Antron, and Raymond now use their experiences to help others who should have also been found innocent

Have you ever been so excited for something before that it’s the only thing you can think about
You have to play it cool but inside you really want to scream and shout
Counting down the days until you go
Why does time sometimes have to go so slow
Meeting the people and seeing the sights
Just to think about it brings me great delight
Wine tasting by day themed parties by night
Oh, this is going to feel so right

Twilight swallows fly gracefully across the golden sky
Spending time outdoors provides me with a natural high
The air slightly cools and I walk barefoot through the grass
I silently make a toast and raise my glass
Lightning bugs illuminate the river bank as the frogs sing their nightly tune
Pure joy is what I feel throughout the month of June

I’ll never forget that first glance not long after you were born
You were huddling in the straw at the back of the barn to try to stay warm
Your eyes were barely open and you could not make a sound
The first time I picked you up in my arms, my feelings were profound
I instantly loved you and you instantly loved me
That unexpected discovery was really meant to be

Special is the word they use when they talk about me
They assume that my diagnosis fully defines me
Sometimes I wish I could only be heard and not seen
That’s what I often think about when I daydream

The dappled sunlight shines lightly through the trees
The creek flows down the hill with gentleness and ease
The red winged blackbird calls loudly to her mate
The butterflies fly happily around the garden gate
The chimes blow in the breeze and quietly ring
Oh, the sights and sounds of the season make my heart sing
