That's it for the events this week .Here's a poem for you ( Hey, I said I was a poet so the least I can do is prove it right?)
Thank God we survived!
by "Laughing" Larry Berger
The world can change
in the blink of an eye
We are fortunate if we
have friends to share
the burden.
The government is an easy target
its big and loud and kind of crazy
But if we did not have it
there would be chaos
and no one could sleep at night
There would be violence in the streets everyday!
and no place would be safe!
So the next time you rally against the Establishment
remember to thank your lucky stars that you live
in a country that allows you to speak so freely!
and that you didn't get shot in the head for doing so.
Neat huh? If you liked that please check out the books ( again hint hint hint!) Here are the links:
