Shirt of the Day

Come here little one, vamos a hablar
Let me tell you story of Los Mexicanos
You see one day back in pinche 1861 este vato, Benito Juarez said toma
He was no longer paying los gringos

So, Pierre, aka France decided to attack Mexico for their dinero
Lead by General Ignacio "nacho" Seguin los mexicanos luchado con fuerza
Eventually Defeating the 8000 Frenchmen para la tierra de Mexico
And on Cinco De Mayo 1862 Mexico had Defeated the French
Eventually Maximillian would take over Mexico and Los Estados Unidos helped
Maximilian was deposed by President Benito Juárez and executed, five years after the Battle of Puebla..........
OR THE STORY GOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!

They know

Tearing at my skin their claws rip at my soul
I lie and tell myself I'm always in control
Hounding my dreams they never let me forget
As I jump out of bed afraid my the sheets show where I was with my sweat
They send shivers down my spine
And I soon realize its not a shiver but them ripping my spine out one inch at a time
I beg and plea for them to end the pain and release me from this
My eyes close and like always I think of the things I'm going to miss
Just before I am devoured I gather all the strength I can
And with eyes wide shut I let go with my right then my left hand
FREEDOM

Time marches ON.....

In time my life has passed without any warning or alarms
My sanity has crumbled and build back up with unwilling charms
Days go by like a speeding race car with no emergency break
And moments can be as cherished as that first bite of a lovely steak
Tears of joy, tears of pain, and tears of yesterday you miss
All created by you with intentions of unforgettable bliss
Inside you coral every ounce of your charitable desires
Holding them in until its time to release them to take you higher
But that day you have decided to release what you have inside
No one will look at you the same, no one would be able to run and hide
So for now engage your thoughts with a simple dream
Just watch out for those that will make you sweat and scream

I will

When the wind attacks you I can be there to help
When the suns beaming down melting your every pore I can be there to refresh
When the rain is beading down on your face I can be there to shield it
When the snow freezes the tips of your fingers I can be there to circulate your blood
When nature decides to challenge the efforts I will go to to keep you safe.........I will be there to SHOW IT!!

Dylan's Coming

I lay next to you and you kick
I watch you as you stretch out as best you can
I rub you and you punch
I can feel the passion I have for you
I know life is changing
I have prepared for the day
I have played it in many ways
I cant wait.....till its WE!

The Babysitter

Cry for me if you want but I'm not listening anymore
Soak your shirt with the salty wetness because of my words
Stand in disbelief at the audacity I posses to talk to you in the way I do
Allow your mind to race of all the nasty words you want to say to me
Squint your eyes as if to be burning a hole through my authority
Or......
Is it you that shouldn't be yelled at
Is it your parents who should be bearing these chains called rules
Is it your parents who have allowed you to possess no responsibility
Is it your parents who have created this small pile of human destruction
Is it your parents who have made excuses and reasons for your problems
Is it your parents who have made sure that discipline is a foreign language
Or.....
Was it your teacher, a.k.a. The Babysitter?

To the next 12 months

As another year dawns upon us we begin to re-evaluate our lives.
New years resolutions that will last about a month then go idle till next year.
Thoughts of the future or if there will actually be one.
My days begin to fill with thoughts about my family and its future.
In this new year my family will become one larger that last year.
A new life will soon help mold the rest of mine.
New ways to express joy, worry, and pain.
But all are feelings that come after a long wait.
My future now only holds the life I have created again.
My future now only turns because of the life I have created again.
My future now is only there, with eyes wide shut.
