Reasons

Poem #1: Reasons.

Sometimes we think,

Sometimes we drink,

Sometimes our mind,

Is lost in liquior or wine!

The trouble between both black and white,

Is that each see their view as right!

Let's work together for a single master,

Instead of fighting which ends in disaster.

We could try annihilation of others,

But I ask you who would go first?

With so much deviance in our behavior,

The human race is quickly becoming a disgrace!

With more and more conflict, prejudice, and discrimination,

What is becoming of our so called wonderful nation!

It is not too late for us to live in assimilation,

But the longer it is put off, this leads to disorganized nations!

All of us have God given rights,

Why can't we live together, peacefully and quiet?

Let's all work together and end this vicious cycle,

Lets stop xenophobia, before it destroys us!!

Something wrong with this poem?

Believe Achieve Receive Success, even when you are told you are nothing & you can show everyone, just how much wiser is God in heaven, He makes no junk as I've been lead to lead most of my life thinking I was, but now in Texas, life is far better! As a Beaumount Toastmaster, should you still have questions or doubts as I've faced most of my life but especially the last 25 years of my life, thanks to UAM's neglect/disrespect! 870-723-5530 Mr. Leonard/460-1158 University of Arkansas Head 1992-today Coach Early www.kfdm.com/features/pay-it-forward/pay-it-forward-beaumont-man-dedicated-to-educating-children-about-bicycle-safety My work "Challenged Conquistadors, Inc.", was referenced to Harvard University Howard Gardner's Book The Unschooled Mind, 1991, in 1996 by Southern Arkansas University Professor Emeritus Ida Flemister! I was to teach school but due to my making Arkansas accessible with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, SAU ensured I was not allowed to teach school with 1997 Arkansas Governor's Commission for People with Disabilities Teaching Scholarship, thus last year in Beaumont, Texas; Texas Governor Abbott was not allowed to ensure I taught school since May 2017, nor March 2018. Freedom is not for everyone it seems, as the Sergeant at Arms, Toast Master, & National Science Teachers Association Member 2261324?
