Shark: The Gateway to Death

Author's Note: At last another irony. It's been a while since I wrote and irony. This piece came from nowhere and everywhere. I am a mystery to myself.

Stuck in the water with no where to go. Treading water, and struggling to breathe. Death would be easier but I don't want to die. Slowly, gracefully a fin pierces the stillness of the water. It slowly circles around me, waiting for a chance to strike. Seeing an opening the beast of the deep sinks its teeth deep into my leg and I have to unleash a punch that sends it back. The water is now a deep red with my blood and the world is spinning. I fight the pain and the shark with my ebbing stength. The monsterous animal bites again and again. Finally I give up the losing battle and let myself be dragged into those beautiful, deadly teeth. My desperate struggle against the everlasting night is over as my gateway closes and bliss swallows the world.

Politics: You love them or you hate them

Author's Note: I know many of you don't pay attention to this stuff or that many of you might disagree with me but please comment anyway because I love to argue. It's one of my favorite talents.

Many of you may have recently heard that the health care bill passed through the House. Now it only needs to pass through the Senate and Obama gets to sign it. Firstly, Barack Obama shouldn't even be president. Look at all the campaign promises he made. Where are they now? Gone from his mind that's where. It's been over a year and what did he achieve? Well he earned the Nobel Peace Prize for absolutely nothing. People say it's for what he will do. Yeah, and I'm Godzilla. Back to the more imposing issue of health care. If this reform passes the very heavy taxes would start right away but the actual health care plan wouldn't be engaged until 2014 and even when it starts we would get insanely long waits and horrible coverage! Doesn't this sound familiar? Hello Canada! We are going to end up just like them. Might as well give me a maple leaf and a hockey stick. No offense to any Canadians out there. Even if you don't have health care the government is now forcing it on you. Either theirs or your employers, who now if they have more than thirty employees, must provide health care. Because of that, about 14 states are suing the federal government for going against the Constitution and many more are well on the way. The Constitution talks about something called state commerce. This means only the state government can mandate something like that. 37 states. Doesn't that show support for the new bill!

The other topic I wanted to discuss is gun-control. Now the government is trying to regulate how many guns are sold. How is that any of their business? They're also trying to stop gun sales completely. That goes against the Bill of Rights. I don't know which amendment it is but one of them clearly states "the right to bear arms". Recently they forced ammunition manufacturers to make the wad in shot-gun shells disintegrate after a certain period of time. Why in the world would they do that? Maybe they don't want people stock piling ammunition for when a revolt comes. I could go on but I will spare you. I will write a sequel to this though. This is all evidence of what Democrats and liberals are trying pull under the noses of hard working americans.

Rain

Author's Note: This is just how I think of rain.

The tears of the gods,

Spilling towards earth,

Bringing strength,

Life,

Death,

Cleansing the earth,

Until the gods cry no more,

And the rain leaves the skies

Diamonds

Author's Note: This is just an experiment in poetry.

The whiteness of the earth,

Trapped in crystalline beauty,

Reflecting the light,

Never going dark,

Conveying a message to all,

There will always be hope,

As long as I stand,

As long as there is a world,

Hope shall exist
