I awoke refreshed, but slightly groggy. The tide appeared to be moving into shore more rapidly then when I first lyed down on this sun-parched beach. I looked up at the sky and saw flocks of seagulls, panning through the sky, overhead, possibly looking for food on the surface. They're not gonna...
It was a dark, cold winter week
A man in bed lay fast asleep
Though his covers wrap him to his neck
He is a man of greed, who won't spare a spec
Not a sense of diginity lay in his mind
So much greed and evil in him, which can last the test of time
Oh so he thought
Upon the pain, which he...
The fantasy realm, we're man can not see
Through fables and stories and great mystery
Through minds and their souls tales are always told
Onto paper they fold
Until time shall choose hold
They can burn and disappear
And no one will care, except the fool's own confession
Because art ...
Today in America, racism is a heavily overlooked subject, among all races. From personal experience, in schools and other public areas, I have been a victim of verbal, reverse discrimination by my fellow peers. I feel that if you are anywhere and you feel uncomfortable about who you are, what religi...
I awoke swiftly in the dark. My face and palms were drenched in sweat. A cold sweat if there ever was one. I turn and search desperately in the darkness. The sweat was growing more and more persistant every second. I can not see anything. I can just feel my existence, I feel the darkness on my body....

Ironically, dreams are what drives our reality
And what inspires our waking moments
Giving truth to our understandings
And setting aside our differences
And work hard for a common goal
A goal present in one's mind to shape the world as we know it
So laying in rest, we accomplish more so ...
Light dances vividly in the night
Candle burns just as bright
As hours turns, so do days
As light sets besides a dark grave
Within the grave, corpses lay
Heroes of tomorrow, a forgotten day
Lay wait in times of rhythm and rhyme
I go forth this one time
Though the dead may have written the pa...
I went to this movie to laugh on how stupid it is. I was laughing throughout the whole entire movie, it was just that funny. The dialogue was terrible, so that was also funny and Nicolas Cage is a terrible actor, so that's really funny seeing him act in a so called action film. Horrible dialogu...
Van Helsing stands as one of thw worst movie I have ever watched. After the movie I felt said that Van Helsing took away two hours of my life and I couldn't get it back. Why did the Frankenstein's Monster have an English accent and why was he even talking in the first place, I thought he o...

How can she have read that book, while still watching the baby? Hmmmm. What book is she reading? The Ar...

Outside of Stephen's house, the sun, glowed, brightly in the aqua blue noon sky, tanning Stephen's white, painted roof, below. Inside of Stephen's house, Stephen sat on a rocking chair in his living room, surrounding his two grandchildren, sitting on the floor, next to him. "So, ...

Outside of Dr. Brown's office, a pale blue moon hanged high in the night sky and shinned thin rays of blue light onto the large brown building which occupies Dr. Brown's office and onto the many cars speeding by on the cold, dark, gloomy city streets. Inside of Dr. Brown's office, Emi...
