You Can't hold me back!


         It seems as if every day more an more regulations are being brought forth to cause restraints on our every day living. The United States of America Constitution was written in 1787 and has been in operation since 1789. The Constitution states our basic rights as citizens of this great country, The United States of America. The Constitution has been ratified many times, like adding amendments. The Bill of Rights, which are the first amendments clearly states our rights, to freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and to bear arms to name a few. Many citizens of The United States of went to war, and died for this beautiful country. People come from all across the world to be free, because here and American we are The Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave. However, its 2012 and I feel that we are now compromising our rights for what our government choose to call the sake of security.
       
         Every day you see more and more things that are restricting you. Is that freedom? Laws and policies such as SOPA( Stop online piracy act) and PIPA ( Protect IP act), attempted to halt our freedom of speech. Because of the many protesters the laws have been halted for the time being. If they would have went into effect, websites like Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, and Wikipedia would be no more. We as Americans can not stand around just let things happen.

         We also could be a victim of the NDAA (Martial Law), which would allow the government to arrest you and hold you for however long as the choose without even charging you. It has been stated in his history that we should never have to go through this, but here we are. We cannot allow this. The occupy movements all across the United States should be just a start, we need to continue to fight for our rights that our forefathers promised us.

I RATHER DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN THEN LIVE IN A CORRUPT WORLD!

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse; This poem was written circa 2004-2005. I remember reading it to someone in high school and they responded with, "I was deep." Not the first and definitely not the last time I was told that. I enjoy reading my poetry that I wrote years ago. It helps me remind me of emotions I felt during that time. It also reminds me of how far I have came as a writer/poet.  From Chapel to Hearse   I admire your features, Think of me at your own leisure, I'm measuring you, Asking how long is a meter, Hop in my two-seater, Take a ride with me, Don't take this relationship lightly, I think of you highly, I want to be with you nightly, I got a fetish for your body, Looking at you arouses me, I'm anticipating you being my spouse to be, Come lay with me, stay with me, Hold me, take hold of me, Make the most of me, Everything about you is intriguing, Without you, there is no meaning, Your heart is in good keeping, ...

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school ...

Poem of the Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come

Poem A Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come By: Kristyna Cochran written circa early 2000's.  WILL TOMORROW EVER COME Today I woke up with cold in my eyes, Washed it out, and had pink eye, I thought will tomorrow ever come, Went to the doctor, he gave me eye drops, He said I still had to go to school, My heart stopped, I thought will tomorrow ever come, They started talking about me, I punched everyone that said something bad about me, I thought will tomorrow ever come, I got suspended from school for three days, I got home and thought I could play, Mama picked me up and acted all nice; gave me a kiss, She got all the plates and bowls out the cabinet, And I had to wash every dish, I thought will tomorrow ever come, While I was sneaking out to play basketball, I broke my ankle, I came back in, and momma gave me a whooping I couldn’t handle, I thought will tomorrow ever come, I went to sleep with bruises on my back, I thought will tomorrow ever com...
