Keedron Bryant a 12-year-old boy so eloquently expresses the pain, fear, and rage of an entire race of people suffering under the inhumane racism against black people in America and around the planet. Keedron Bryant will be …

This is one of my favorite songs in the world. Leila and I would sing it each night with our guests, when we closed our FM radio show, on WQQQ103.3fm. Most Americans over 50 might remember this song, and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Hope you enjoy it. I wish all of my readers’ Happy …

How horrible to all who wish to live, when the loss of all desire reaches into our souls, we can not deny its power, or our weakness to resist. It over shadowed someone today, a helpless young woman left delirious in her final hours fighting the demons of hopelessness ravaging her deteriorating mind and body. …

In a world without reason chaos rules. The betrayal of all you are and represent becomes scandal. No one can approach the light of fame without being blinded and burned. That I learned to sing and dance and play an instrument meant little to my development. I can sing a song , I can …

Hurricanes howl as I climb the highest tower to observe the sight and sounds of angels crashing. The storm surge rises to historic heights as the damaged sea is without water. The great ocean of power and punishment against mankind and all living things storms against the ancient shores of Elysium and Heaven but can …

I watched Donald Trump’s speech this morning and was amused by him as I usually am during his live speeches. No matter what anyone says about him, he does get his message across, for example when he says ,”We want them the hell out of here!” Trump was in his element at CPAC, these were …

Crocuses and daffodils are having a hard April. The early frost and late snow stunted their growth. Yellow and white rows of waving daffodils do not adorn my garden this year. As I looked at the snow on rows of unbloomed flowers I noticed three white and two yellow daffodils and one white …

When the revolution begins, there will be no compassion for the wealthy, who horde their millions, while billions of people starve, walking streets for a place to sleep, somewhere out of the rain, snow, or heat. Billions of poor, sick, hurt, and numb from pain, are relieved by God, death, liquor, or heroin; while …

Reclusive I am somewhere between wonder and reason, laughing at the sunshine and the blue sky of this morning, thankful I can enjoy them. All creators create their creations by hearing them or seeing them, and receiving them, from the divine mind, that navigates the winds of time. L.A. Steel Share

My friend passed away the other day, without saying goodbye to anyone. No one knew she was ill. She died in her sleep. I knew her for years. I remember her smile,and voice, and the way she dressed, in consignment shop dresses, hats, vintage rings and necklaces. She was unique as her style and bold …
