The Traditional American Family - Dare to Be Different!

It's Still Hot in Texas
Summer Heat Smokes the Air
Fall Soon to Follow
Stores Sporting Christmas Flair

Rushing All the Seasons
Seems the Way of the Average Masses
Mom Triple Dyes her Hair
While her kids attend their Classes

Dad Looks like a Zombie
Feet up, and laid back in his Chair
Chips and Dip on the Table
Clothes thrown Everywhere

The Typical American Family
In a Traditional Homegrown Scene
Oblivious to the Outside World
Doesn't Know what it Means

To Have no Food upon the Table
War Hammering at the Front Door
The Mirror Reflecting the Other Side
Exposes the Melting Core.

Donovan ` Atlantis

The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.

To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.

On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.

Though gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new.

Hail Atlantis!
Sung by Donovan

"The Two Wolves Inside" Cherokee Wisdom

 Cherokee Legend of the "Two Wolves Within"

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle
that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

One is Evil -   It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good -  It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:

"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one you feed."

"Cheaper is not Better"

Somewhere over the intercom in the mega department stores of the USA this might be heard ...

"Attention 'Blah Blah Blah' Customers.... We have been asked why we do not support USA manufacturing.

The answer is simple. We have sold out to China... You have been officially Shanghaied.

We do realize their product is inferior and perhaps @ times deadly, but we believe we are providing what you have asked for. Face it... Cheaper is not Better.

Thank You for Shopping with us .... and Have a Nice Day..."
