we didnt start the fire

the weatherman says its going to rain today it rained and hailed earlier this week. i wonder what went through the mind of the first human to encounter hail he probaly looked up an thought the thing that goes in the mouth to stop the inside hurt and makes the below me soft is about to fall down. imagine his surprise when the ice started to hit him he probaly ran across the fields thinking the boom,boom people in the way up there is throwing rocks at him. after making it to a safe tree he thinks the 'people in the way up there' must be angry at me but why. i will leave my catch here for them and when they see me go hungry to make them happy they will stop. it does, and he goes home to his family and they say it is good that you did that because we were scare when we saw the hard cold stuff fall. we should offer things to them whenever they become angry at us because we must have done something wrong. it was like that then and its is like that now when volcano erupts in an deserted area its just nature but when an volcano erupts and people get killed its god punishing the people. the same is said for earthquakes tsunamis and drought even though these things have been occurring long before people lived in the places where these things happen. you cant blame god because you built your house in a bad neighborhood. and you cant blame the boom,boom people in the way up there.

songs

there seems to be as many different songs as there are human emotions and experiences . the diference is that you can turn a song off but you cant turn off your emotions or experiences even if you try to be emotionless you are expressing an emotion. sitting alone in an empty room is still an experience. its all apart of acting with and reacting to your inviroment. this is something all living creatures experience. even plants react to hot and cold light and darkness and will even form a scab if bruised or cut our feelings can heal us or they can make us sick you can be rich and sad and put a gun to your head or you can be poor and happy and greet everyone with a smile. how long you live and how healthy you are depends mostly on how well you feel about yourself .and of course a well balanced diet some foods are essential to maintain health. so sit down listento some good music and count your vitamins er, i mean blessings

the oath

a man who was trouble in mind once swore that if his problems were solved he would sell his house and give all the money gained from it to the poor .the time came when he realized that he must redeem his oath. but he did not want to give away so much money.so he thought of a way out he put the house on sale at one silver piece included with the house however was a cat. the price asked for this animal was ten thousand pieces of silver another man bought the and cat the first man gave the single piece of silver to the poor and pocketed the ten thousand for himself many people's minds work like this they resolve to follow a teaching;but they interpet thier relationship with it to their own advantage until they learn to over come this they cannot learn at all

still i rise

i grew up in a world where the words, please, thankyou ,yes maam ,no maam ,yes sir ,no sir, were a common part of the english language and you would greet older people when you passed them whether you knew them or not of course this was a time when everyone knew their neighbors. times have changed and old neighborhoods have been uprooted but the rules of common courtesy still applies this seems to be lost on some of the youth today. to be nudged aside or hear foul language coming from someone who isnt to old to get spanked can be very unnerving to say the least. how does anyone let their children get out of control. i let my kids play video games watch movies and listen to rap music and they excel in school and everyone tells me what great job i,ve done with them i guess you have to teach them the difference between fantasy and reality i believe a lot of kids do mimic what they see on tv and on rap videos i, ve ove heard more than one teen refer to his girlfriend as his b----. now where did he get that from .childern have to be shown the right way to live and not just told. talk to them not down to them encourage them and help them with their homework and if you cant do the work then say we are going to learn this together and before you know it you might end up going back to college

where,s the broom

we have all been there before, well most of us were. there you are at a wake or funeral and everyone is talking about how good the decease was a kind and wonderful human being and youre thinking are they talking about the same person. you see everyone has some skeletons in their closets and some are kept well hidden never to be known about except by the few who got a chance to peek at them or had the misfortune to be bruised by them. so no one says anything bad. they say its bad to speak ill of the dead let them rest in peace. so the girl who never told no one remains silent after all it was so long ago and she,s grown now the things that went missing are no longer missed the lies that were believable are still believed and he looks so real lying there and so many flowers this was a person that was loved by many and now he,s going to his final reward. everybody walk by to pay their last respects a few giving more than they received. then every body gather to mingle say a few words to the family comment on how well they are holding up, be strong ,he,s in a better place now. then go home and peek into their own closets time to do some cleaning

sunday sunday

well the week is at a close it,ll be monday soon what makes mondays so brutal is that you,ve spent the last two days sleeping in and on monday you have to get up early the body has to adjust to a new routine all over again two cups of strong coffee might help but lets face it you really dont want to go to work calling in has just about played out so forget about that but wait its still sunday so sit back and relax mondays are,nt all bad you made it through lots of mondays besides it is,nt just the begining of another work week it,s the begining of the rest of your life ( i know thats old but it helps to keep you optomistic)

YOUR POSSIBLE PASTS

a couple of years ago i was at a parts store on montgomery st buying oil for my pile of scrap metal while putting the oil in my car i was aproached by this guy who asked me for a dollar to get something to eat i was takened aback by his apearance. (scared is the is the word) he had sores all over his body including the palms of his hand. i thought, "he,s got got aides he,s gonna touch me i am gonna die" any way i reached into my pocket and offered him a dollar he said two i put the money back in my pocket and he said okay i,ll take one. i took a glance back to my engine looked up and he was gone like a ghost he vanished how can someone so sickly move so fast i wonder what does he see when he passes a store window and sees his reflection does he see the angel of death walking so close behind. does he see an image of what he used to be or does he avoids looking at himself hiding behind a crack pipe he was somebody,s child someone played peekaboo with him and held his while he took his first steps now he,s taking his final steps alone and i wonder where are the smart bombs for the coke plantations just south of our borders where are the drones and precision srtikes on the drug cartels that have been waging chemical warfare on our people for the last few decades
