[hometext] => I hope this provokes some thought as you read. I left many areas broad, but for a reason...
[bodytext] => "It is what it is" is the work of years of corrpution. It's the capture of the human spirit, locked up and left for destruction. We could have solved these problems years ago. But instead we chose the way of economy and forgot Democracy and Pluto. When you think about it, our failure to spread knowledge is deep-rooted. It's quite the phenomenom to tinker with one man's ideas, and for those ideas to be lost in translation, truly misconcluded. The advance in societies centuries previous has left us with a disaster. So "it is what it is" is like marketing: sale this, buy that, get rich faster. Now we force people to care about the dollar, care about making end's meet. Never mind the wise words of the Bible, that money is supposed to lead the path of the meek. What an amazing contrast this is, here in the land under God. It seems as though what the good Fathers sacrificed is sorely misunderstood, and shaken off by a simple nod. I wake up every day and hope for the best, that we will still be a great country. And the thing is I have more in common with the poor and middle class, the ones who work the hardest but contribute the least to the economy. While we all choose who we are going to be, is it really that simple, really that easy? Poor is eternal and broke is temporary, but many will still forever be stuck in twilight misery. For now I am going to do my part and learn from history as much as I can. In the few years that I have lived, my only advice is that you too look back and learn from the past, learn from the mistakes of man. Knowledge and power are two seperate entities. But without knowledge, how can we ever set this country, but more profoundly, our souls, free? And doing that would be power and human success. To be able to look at your eyes every day in the mirror and say, "I tried my hardest," without the slightest doubt; truly our hardest test. Never fear to challenge life at its hardest. Be the first to stand up, set the bar at its highest. Do not fear being pushed back, challenged for something good. While many in the past have shed blood for their cause, their actions still speak louder than their challengers ever thought could. We are programmed to live for something that is well-worth fighting for. Do not let the dark distractions take away our good qualities and leave them for us to ignore. "It is what it is" is something that I will not accept. Time is of the essence, so always have faith, for the near-future is something time will not reject.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
