This story involves a family of six with the father stationed in Vietnam in the US Air Force. It is the early 1970's and Vietnam War protesting is rampant on television and in schools. The story follows closely how this family dealt with the hazards facing the father as well as the hatred of those protesting stateside. This culminates in a showdown between a school system, a mother, a US senator and the war that tore this country apart.

New York, 1963. The city thrums with electricity-each corner a flashing beacon of possibility and chaos. The weight of the world shifts, war drums beat, and young souls flood the streets, eyes wide with dreams and disillusionment. Kalyn, a scruffy, lanky Englishman with a guitar strapped to his back, Olivia, a whirlwind. Carefree, defiant, with a hair-flip that dares you to look away. A college drop-out from Ohio with a cause bigger than herself. She doesn't just want to be heard-she demands it. But it's Tom Collin's, the smooth-talking, impeccably dressed black man from Brooklyn, who shakes the scene up with his sharp wit and sharper mind. He's a man with secrets, and a man who knows how to survive in the undercurrents of New York's raw. Then there's Colby Jade-the All-American Catholic schoolgirl turned hippie dreamer, looking for something she can't quite grasp. At first, she's the epitome of purity, her starched dresses and high heels whispering promises of a life neatly wrapped in a white bow. But the moment she sees the raw edge of the counterculture, she dives in headfirst. The world's revolutions. Drugs, sex, rebellion and self-destruction It's a story of revolution and heartbreak. A story of music that could never quite drown out the screams of war. Of youth that burned too bright and too fast, only to flicker out in the chaos they helped create. Sex, drugs, rock and roll-yes-but also the painful truth that all revolutions, no matter how pure their beginnings, inevitably leave scars. This is the story of Kalyn and Olivia, Tom and Colby-lost and found in the firestorm of a generation.

MURDER IS A CRIME In a world where badges shield killers and headlines bury the truth, one video loops until the outrage fades. A federal agent walks free. The system applauds. The streets forget. But some memories don't die. Some men don't forgive. When the white skull steps out of the shadows, justice isn't a courtroom-it's a blade, a chair, and four simple words. Frank Castle doesn't care about acquittals. He cares about crimes. And murder... is a crime.

The protest... I sat in the sitting room with the news flash that the great city of Cairo has been occupied. By who? By the greatest force on earth, the people. Another day, it came up again, this time around, the country of Libya was occupied... And then, my mind begin to wander and my hands to write as I pen these thoughts of mine which I termed the Protest. The poem is about the people, although it could seem to be peculiar to Africa as that is the continent where most sit-tights are found, but, it can not be alienated from the rest of the world. It all speaks about the people rising up to fight for their rights, to make their voices to be heard and to make their hands to be seen...

She laughs it off, until the stranger adds one last thing-these men have been kidnapping youth climate strikers. Desperate to learn more, Mira throws her lot in with the mysterious stranger and the other Treetalkers.

In this book I will write poems to express my feelings and emotions. When I write poetry my aim is to inspire change and shine light on topics that people don't like to talk about. If my poems don't inspire YOU to be a better YOU, than I have not reached my goal. Beware: Read at your own risk - I get deep and passionate about touchy subjects.

all she did to make him fall in love with her was sit on the steps with a sign. [short story #399, 8.28.14]
