Were it always this way, one might understand
But once upon a time, it was not
Resting on their laurels, one should have never planned
For their very soul have they committed to be forgot
How could such a splendid thing become so wrong
It was the benchmark of the good not long ago
In it's place something was left that earns no song
Replacing something once our young were forced to know
How have we forgotten the better parts of ourselves
As such evil was brought unto us all
It still remains in books on duty old shelves
As we hudle toward the inevitable great fall
Because forsaking what once was for what is now
Such a brutally unforgivable mistake
Future generations to look back and say wow
When did it all become so meaningless and fake
To allow it to be villainized and twisted so easily was weak
And paying the piper when one would rise who'd be strong
They villainized something good, to pander to the meek
Making the truth that thing so many would see as wrong

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
