Adams to Jefferson #5

Dear Jefferson I once again ask for your ear and counsel.
I have been thinking of this country and the terror and fear we constantly live in.
How spree killings and horror are what our media feeds on and swims in.
And I offer a simple remedy for terrorism once and for all.
Effective immediately we force our media [...]

A paycheck a promise and a lie

The U.S. military is not filled with saints and patriots.
As a veteran myself I saw people just trying to get by and pay bills.
The soldiers I knew ran away from the problems they couldn’t solve.
They clung to “American Values” as a mantra and a cause.
The soldiers I knew would betray you at the drop of [...]

There can’t be a soul.
These words [...]
