I will never be far away
no matter where you are.
My heart will always be with you.
Never will you have to seek
to find me
for I will always be
as close as your heart.
There is a special place
for you and me
a place that will never go away.
A place where each day is made for you and me.
A place where each day becomes an eternal string of pearls
as we love and laugh through each setting sun.
Rising together each morning
with a song upon our lips
singing of our love for each other.
Through this eternity
and all others
to follow.

The frightful thought entered my mind today. Will the missing Malaysian aircraft be used in another 9/11 incident in crashing into the New Freedom Tower in New York? The terrorist have been held at bay in attacks on our soil since 9/11. Has our days of preventing this from happening again now facing a countdown? Would it be possible to change all the outgoing signals on this craft coming into New York where it might seem to be a normal incoming flight? Are we now facing a major Terror Event on our Homeland by use of stolen commercial aircraft?

Kemp, Texas: With courage to fire its City Manager and not replace. Picture courtesy of Google Image Search.
This Commentary is a personal salute to the city council of Kemp, Texas, a neighboring city on the Cedar Creek Lake area of East Texas. In this day and age to be paying a City Manager in the area of $100,000 plus in salary and benefits, especially in cities under 6,000 is pure crazy and without a regard for the welfare of its citizens.
This Mayor and city council members demonstrated that they were “True Citizen Servers” in their decision to assuming this ex-City Manager’s duties and save their citizens a huge amount of money. Money that could be better served in the future upgrading of their own water system.
In looking about the Cedar Creek Lake area and its smaller cities, a second look also needs to taken of Gun Barrel City and its City Manager and his $140,000 plus a year in salary and benefits. In looking about the city and its poor enforcement of city codes, a known reputation for aggressive speed traps throughout the city, highly expensive city office buildings with a private restroom in the office of the City Manager no less; one has to question whether the city of Gun Barrel will also demonstrate the same courage in saving its residents and tax-payers a huge amount of wasted money.

Commentary on March 15th, 2014: I am reposting what seems to be a popular poem that I wrote regarding our President. Yesterday, while undergoing a medial procedure, my doctor and I shared our despise for President Obama. Truthfully, I always choke up when I have to use the word “President” before Obama’s name. If anyone in our history was not worthy of the title, Obama is the one.
My doctor is of course, an educated man but sadly lives in denial regarding the powers of Obama. His take is that President Obama will never be impeached but is now “boxed in” and will not be able to bring any further harm to our country.
I tend to realize that this is the attitude of the majority of educated individuals that I come upon in my daily life. There seems to be a trend where there is a lot of shouting and crying over the lying regime that Obama has put into place in our country but nothing is being accomplished by the Republican party, a party that has truly lost its way in leadership for our country.
To my way of thinking reality will only set in when the majority of the white middle class of this country are herded into Federal “Care Camps” under Obama as they await the new gas chambers built by his administration. When that day comes I will be dearly holding my American Flag and fighting to the death in an attempt to save my country from the tyranny of Obama.
Somewhere along my journey
I stepped into a time machine.
I do not remember exactly when it happened.
I stepped forward in a strange land where a language
was spoken that did not sound like any tongue I knew.
The beings looked like me.
The planet seemed the same
but it was not.
There was a new god
in this land
in this dimension.
His name was Obama.
I looked closer at the eyes
of those about me.
Their was a strange blankness
in their eyes
an emptiness of spirit
I could not explain.
I eagerly sought a sight of a flag pole
to see what land I might be in.
My eyes sought the Red, White and Blue.
Instead I looked with fright upon a flag
all to familiar from a past election.
God did not save us.
