A letter for the upcoming year!

Wow we are finally here in 2013 seems so far awaY FOR A BABY-BOOMER TO EMERGE HERE in this place and time. I have some heart felt responses to put here and some brain boggling statements as well. Firstly I want to thank everyone who pauses here to read because reading material especially solid reading material is hard to come by and what I write I want it to be comparative ACROSS all boards not stopped by whether I am one color and you are another I want it to be faceless and colorless but of great import because words are thus shapeless,colorless and above all else tend to resound in your soul and hearts of men long after they are remembered by the readers. Where are we now as a nation of people who have managed to strive beyond the amendments of the Constitution and to shun those things that would have us shackled to lies and more hate! We have a disease in our midst something so insidious and baffling that it goes through our hearts and minds like some giant creeping thing that emerges itself to do damage to anyone and anything that is in front of us and for no other reason than to harm and hurt our souls. When words  no longer are captured by our minds than I know its time for other tactics to make sure that the words reaches its mark. I go on the internet I go on blogs I go where the social networks are. We are so influenced by what others say that we won't read relevant content we will only read that which strikes us as colorful or bewitching something so frivolous that it really loses its real meaning,it misses its mark which is justifiably a message that lets us know that we are in danger if we don't change our ways and means of thought. To change isn't something that I have the real solution too but I have reckoned enough to know it's route is not a dangerous one and that it is on the side of good at all times never meaning to harm or hurt in any ways but to raise up and to help one that is down... the way to change is merely to keep your fellowman in an upright position at all times, never beneath you or iN A POSITION THAT MAKES YOU HIS SUPERIOR AND HIM THE INFERIOR FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN WORK. We have taken this label and put it on any typical qualification that a person can use just to make ourselves feel better about us. Why is this I suppose have we let our ourselves down to a point that we must degrade others to make ourselves raise above the fray of whispered deceit and hate. We constructed the very vessel that holds us prisoner and we lie to our own ears that this is not the case. Lies and deceit is what forms the disguise that starts out the road to disaster that runs down the path to a place that makes us hate another so much that they become a part of the before and after that we believe is a solution...Destruction! The real powers that be this year are the ones that will give our nation some continuity and cohesiveness... solidaRITY WITH A SPIN ON IT! This is something that hope shall spring forth with and gladness and strength and above all else clarity to b able to see past faults and change them along with our path that we trod upon for the rest of our days..

Anthony W.

A wonderful human being has left this earth , a person who if asked would surely have laid down his time for you and lend an ear for your problem. Upon reaching my job on Friday November 2, 2012  I was traversed into a netherworld where my thoughts went every way but the right way. Mentally all who were told that Anthony was shot and killed that previous Wednesday still haven't come to terms on the senseless act that this was and probably never will it will be like an old file that is stored along with other miscellanous facts that have eluded human beings since the dawn of mankind. Cain slew Abel and from that moment on it has been like a cacophony when it comes to the single word "WHY"? ON this night Anthony was last seen on 4th and Rhode Island Ave. NW The police report stated that he was shot multiple times by an unknown so far suspect and managed to run out of the alley, get to the street and collapse.This is where the Emergency Fire & Rescue along w/ authorities found him then pronounced him dead. After all is said and done can people just go back to business as usual or have we gotten so desensitized about death that this to will be just another long fact sheet at the Medical Examiner's Office? Can we get so tired about senseless deaths that we go out into the streets and demand that the police and the Mayor stop leaving these mental pieces for us to ramble through during our lucid times of the day and fight the good fight for justice? The stress that goes along with so many sleepless nights and so many painful episodes of funerals and viewings has got to take it's toll upon the nation's psyche at least it has for me. Then we have the experts that research how our mental health is holding up and we sometimes wonder what can be said about our young and their being exposed to an ever extending arm of tragedy and mayhem does it stop people and if so when? When we hear that children so absurdly pick up arms,guns,knives and slay one another for stupid  reasons, can we actually say that we know why? Somehow its so cloudy now as I say 'Goodbye to my friend who was so young and promising! He actually was on his way to another level in his life, that is why its so sad and conclusive when we see the results of a Thought World Gone Bad! Can society be resurrected and can the people that do the deeds learn how to live peaceably instead of the visibly angry way that they solve each and every thing that they encounter? Why? is the only word that I can say at this time but hopefully that word will change to I forgive you!
I dedicate this piece to his sisters and brothers that still don't know what to think of their older brother's passing,this young man who strived to be the better man and a candle to light his siblings path and show them that it could be done. Anthony I applaud you for the short time that I knew you I came to admire and later respect you for the time that you took to do positive things for the agency you worked for and for family. I want to encourage those that can take something away from these, senseless acts of violence, please know that for every branch that is torn away from a beautiful tree there will grow several more to it's bountiful harvest. ANTHONY YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!
