Since I was very young, I saw and heard different things in life
And decided and realized that two things that I could never do
Is getting in any debates about politics or religion.
They are both too controversial and has torn people and countries
Apart because of it.
For that reason I have never followed or read enough about them
To judge or debate it. Whatever religious teachings I have is from
Going to church growing up, and I found that no two people
Interpret the bible the same, so it is in both factors in politics and religion.
No one person or group has all the answers that is why GOD gave us free will.
(My belief) there is one thing that I wholeheartedly believe in and that
Is the right to be free to practice or believe in what you want.
There will always be a voice in every group, neighborhood, and county
Town, city, or nation “that will “stand up to atrocities created by fellow man.
This is going on in every nation in the world.
War, hunger, poverty, sickness, slavery, ****** and physical abuse
Has all been created by man- “not by GOD “!
I know this has been going on since the beginning of time
And not everything will change, but we can take the steps to start some changes.
Let us just start by respecting each other and maybe “just maybe “
We can create a chain reaction.
Do we really want to pass on the world problems to our children?
Let children grow up as children!
No one is born with hatred or prejudice!
Parents and others instill them.

Why is it that since the beginning of time men who have
Become leaders want to defeat and dominate- is it to show
Their people that they are great?
World ******* will never be found, it will always fall to the ground.
We must follow GODS course, for LOVE IS THE DOMINATING FORCE !
I look at life and I must laugh – GOD gave man muscle and mass
And gave women soft **** and ***.
Then he told ADAM & EVE not to touch the apple on the tree
Knowing well that it could never be- women were put here to tempt man
With their loving gentle hand.
She pulled down the apple and took the first bite , and mans willpower
Was lost that same night.
Now he looked at her in a different view, and knew exactly what he had to do.
What was lost- now was the will of man!
This was all part of GODS plan! He had to create temptation so that
Man could choose right from wrong, and he put the devil where he belonged.
Then the world was ready for the coming of his son, and a
New beginning would be done.
He would have followers of his word through his sons voice he would be heard.
With the free will that he gave us – he added comedy to break the monotony.
In the bible, he then said: the meek shall inherit the earth!
And the women took it for all its worth !
Look throughout history, the rise and fall of every man
There stood a woman s hand.
From the greatest love stories ever told to the nations that would fold!
The tragic love stories of HELEN OF TROY, SAMPSON AND DELILAH
Carried man s love so much higher.
Then the best one yet was ROMEO AND JULIET.
Oh, yes! For the love of a woman man will fall, because the women know it all.
They use their bodies to manipulate! That is what makes them so great.
Most of us men will deny these facts, but there is no turning back.
The minds of men will always be at a loss
Because LOVE IS THE DOMINATING FORCE

this is my new site of growing up in n.y. in the 50 's & 60 's
but for all who want to post where they grew up in that time and era.

My heart was fluttering like a captured bird
My heartbeat was all that was heard.
You left my senses completely blind
As you captured my heart and mind.
How can love be so overwhelming that it leaves
Your knees to shake, and your nearness is all it takes.
Love can make the strongest man weak, and the weakest man strong
Like the words of a song.
It enters your mind and you sing and hum it every day
This is the price for love that you must pay.
For true love all men are yearning, and we will take
This sentimental journey.
We are like the tortoise with a hard shell
And inside is where our heart dwells.
History shows our captured hearts
The love for JULIET, HELEN of troy, CLEOPATRA, and DELILAH
“Are we going to call them liars “?
The love for them was so strong, that in history is where it belongs.
We know that women have all the right tools
So we become fearful of being the fools.
Yet the same way that history does repeat
I lay my heart at your feet.
Do what you will if you must
And in my heart, I will put my trust.

Living in NEW YORK CITY and going to tar beach
For most NEW YORKERS this was a treat.
Taking your beach chairs, towels, and blankets
And a radio to the roof.
Some would come up with shirts and pants
As the roofers began to dance.
Listening to ALLEN FREED, COUSIN BRUCIE, and **** CLARK
And seeing the treetops in the park.
We did not need to go to concerts downtown
All you had to do was look around.
We would lie on the blankets taking in the sun
Or dancing to the music and having lots of fun.
We would gather as groups and start to harmonize
With every roof joining in – it is easy to visualize.
A crescendo of voices floating in the air
With people looking out their windows
And their voices they would share.
A water hose connected to an apartment below
Where we could cool off and water balloons to throw.
You could take your suburbs, your farms and little towns
But nothing to compare to the NEW YORK CITY sounds.

The buildings were collapsing all around
People screaming then falling down
Than not making a sound.
(I smiled)
The ground started opening up
And people falling in.
(I smiled)
The sea waters overflowed on the land
Bringing destruction, mud, and sand.
(I smiled)
The skies turned completely black
And the sounds of the lightning’s cracked.
(I smiled)

A man stopped me and asked:
Why do you smile when the world
around you is falling down?

I responded: I smile because the lord walks
by my side, and fills my heart and soul.
I grabbed his hands- “ and he smiled”
Let me walk with you, for I also felt him too.

We walked hand in hand through this barren land.
Other people stopped and asked the same question.
Then took our hands and joined us too.
The salvation of the world was coming true.
Faith, hope, love, was following thru.

As the people joined and held hands
The destruction began to cease.
And in peoples hearts
They found relief and peace.

When they looked there were thousands
Holding each others hands
For this was - part of gods plan.

Money is scarce, trying to make ends meet
Hoping to get back on my feet.
Food in the fridge is very low- do not know which way to go.
I just lost my cell phone, now the creditors are calling at home.
Late notices are in the mail, threatening to take me to jail.
I was starting to lose hope and faith, and none of these
Creditors are willing to wait.
So down to my knees I did fall, and no more excuses left to stall.
With tears in my eyes, I started to pray, asking my LORD
To show me the way.
Dear LORD! I do not know what to do, so I must depend on you.
I know that I had turned away and that I no longer would kneel to pray.
I need you like before, when I was down you opened the doors
I was a churchgoer, a believer in you, you gave me everything
My family too.
Now I am starting to lose it all – and on you, I must call.
Give me back the strength so that I may move ahead
Help me to get rid of this bed.
Depression will steal your will to live, and I have so much to give.
Family and friends are all around. Yet! I do not hear a sound.
They all say I must find the way to fight this sickness day to day.
Then from the corner of my eye, a flicker of light began to shine.
A light becoming like the blazing sun – with   a voice saying
                   HIS “WILL” BE DONE
I saw a form starting to take shape, and an angel then appeared
And started to wipe away my fears.
Depression is a state of mind , and the devil will keep you blind
Just search out the light that lies ahead, and the LORD will clear your head.
This is the message he had given to me, and now my mind is set free.
