I was born in Kearney, Nebraska on May 4,1959 on the dawn of the age of Aquarius, otherwise known as the 60s. We didn't live in Kearney from what I understand. We lived in Edgemont, South Dakota. But Kearney, Nebraska had the nearest hospital. We moved around a lot. We moved to Des Moine, Iowa and then several parts of Springfield, Illinois. Joined the Navy in 1977. Taking early voluntary retirement due the draw down of the military because of our glorious victory, Desert Storm, I got out in 1992.
Walk outside and see the buildings and paved streets
Men
Inspired by Women
We are the creators
...
Lost in time
Between normal and real
How lucky we are to be
or are we
...
I wish I could write a poem that would change the world
A world with barbwire fences
Try to cross and you get stuck
You get pinned and you can’t come back
...
Killed another to live
Makes me a hero
Another metal
Stuck in my heart
...
I was created to be me
And nobody else
Your problem
You can't be yourself
...
