In Remembrance of September 11, 2001

In Remembrance of Sept 11, 2001, I have decided to post a poem that I wrote 9 years ago.



A poet by the name of
Edgar Allan Poe
Once wrote a poem entitled
"The Doomed City ( The City In The Sea)"
As I look back on the day of
September 11, 2001, while reading the poem,
I realize that many of these
Verses can be used to describe the
Events of September 11, 2001.

"Lo! Death hath rear'd himself a throne
In a strange city, all alone,
Far down within' the dim west-
And THE GOOD, And THE BAD,
And THE WORST, And THE BEST
Have gone to their ETERNAL REST."

This verse in itself describes the
Results of the events
As it talks about lifes that were lost

"There shrines, and palaces, and towers
Are-not like anything of ours-
O! no- O! now- ours never loom
To heaven with that ungodly gloom!
Time - eaten towers that tremble not!
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie."

This verse sums up the image
That we see when we look
At where the towers once stood,
"The melancholy waters lie."

"There open temples - open graves
Are on level with the waves."

This is used to describe
The ones who have yet to be found
Their bodies lay in " open graves
Level with the waves."

"But lo! a stir is in the air?
The wave! there is a ripple there!"
"Hell rising from a thousand thrones
Shall do it reverence,
And death to some more happy clime
Shall give his undivided time."

This last verse describes
The neverending war that
Has been brought forth
Because of the cowardly
Acts of September 11, 2001.

The Dark & Unknown

When the light fades
The darkness will fall
Only to find me
Standing behind the walls

Alone in the shadows
I stand here and wait
For the lonely souls of evil
To rise and walk the grounds of good

What they do will amaze you
You too will follow the souls
Into the unknown
Following their every move

They will allow you
To release your anger
Against the foes who
Walk around unaware or without a care

You will then become of of us
Fulfilled and ready to take your place
In the home of the
Dark and unknown

Challenges of Society

As I sit and look at the sky
I think about the time that has gone by
Times changing quickly
And yet we still have
So much to learn
Things happening so fast
That we don't have time
To stop and think
We want to change the world
But don't know where to start
And yet we judge the ones
Who have the courage to take
Charge and do something
Not knowing who or what
Waits around the corner
A cowardly figure who walks
In the darkness til night falls
Knowing that if he's caught
He'll be punished for the things he's done.
Thats the challenges that we
Face today as we try to change
The way society has become.

There Are Fathers & Then there are Sperm Donors....

Ok, so here is my dilema this time round... It just gets on my last nerve how guys who have kids, get away with not taking care of their kids. They dont see there kids, they dont buy the necessary things for there kids, they dont even bother to call & ask how their child is doing. They just sit around playing video games, going camping, hanging with so called friends, drinking, etc.. Yet they think that they dont have any other responsibilites that other ADULTS have.



Take for instance, my daughters dad, or as I like to call him, her sperm donor. He's 25 years old, lives in a 2 bedroom apt with his mom, his brother & sister. After putting up with a lot of things from him, I got tired and said thats enough. The last straw was when my grandmother caught him in bed doing something to himself, with my daughter who was 5 months at the time laying in the bed right next to him. So I told him he had to go.



He moved to his moms, where he is free to do as he pleases. He's only seen my daughter a couple times in the past 4 months, and even then it was only for a few seconds cause his mom was rushing him. He calls every now & then, saying that he wants to see her, but then when I tell him when & where, he calls back & says that his mom doesnt have the gas nor the money for gas to drive him there.



When he calls, he spends a few seconds asking how my daughter is (like he really cares), & then he automatically starts asking when we are getting back together & when can we go out. He never asks if my daughter needs anything. Thats because he was told by his mom that he doesnt need to worry about anyone but himself. He's only bought her food one time since he's been gone, and even then I had to argue with him about it, cause his mom said that he wasnt going to buy anything. So now my last resort is applying for child support, which really isnt going to do much good, cause he doesnt have a job nor does he bother looking for one.



Now on to MEN who are actual FATHERS... My dad (well, technically step dad), takes care of his kids, pays his child support all the time, and does a lot for everyone. Yet his ex wife is a money hungry fat ass bitch that has to constantly cause trouble for him. She's never satisfied with the amount of money that she gets, so she's constantly pushing for going back to court & all that shit, which causes even more expenses, cause then my dad has to pay for her shit ass of a lawyer.



There's my problem.... Scum like my ex, get to do just about anything they want no matter what. Whereas MEN like my dad never get a break in anything, even though they take care of all their responsibilities & do what needs to be done.



I guess I better end this one here, cause I could go on for hours on this subject. Until next time...
