Liberty
Liberty is a beautiful thing that America is all about. We live our days to the fullest and chase our dreams. This country is a great one and liberty is everything to me. I am a patriot and take what pride I have due to me to live in the greatest country in the world.
For the nay sayers, I believe this world is going through a radical change for the better. Many people would argue this with me but look all around you. We are given more rights every day and are becoming united as one. Uncle Sam takes care of his own. Did you ever think we'd have cutting edge technology at everyone's finger tips? One amazing thing about my town is that the main park offers free wi fi to anyone and everyone each day (All the libraries here do too!) There is so much freedom and opportunity in this land that it's no wonder we settled here.
As a whole, we need to support others. This may be what we are lacking. Too many people here seem only concerned about their own lives, and no one else. There is so much strife in this world, and all I wish is for an end to it. A world free from pain, it's an impossible vision. Instead of blaming each other for the troubles of the world why don't we work together to fix it? As long as there is hatred, war and disagreements in a country there will never be unity. I suppose I'm the impossible dream type, slumbering with an idea of utopia.
What's ruined this town is the drug problem and no I don't mean the legal type. Our police force is too under maned to combat effectively the demon we call meth. The drug has taken away what was once normal people and introduced them into an underworld where insanity rules and dreams die. I truly pity any street drug user. Marijuana , tobacco and liquor are nothing compared to things such as meth, cocaine and heroin.
Liberty is due to everyone on earth, even if they don't deserve it. Little do we value in a world where people want more and more. Liberty is something we take advantage of. Be above the norm. Rejoice in the fact we are free, forever. Don't ever impose or infringe on your fellow american. Remember that person next to you wherever out may be has the right to live a life free from persecution. Don't give up on the American dream. Be a nation united and strong. Love our lady liberty because she loves you.

There Still is Justice: Happy Birthday U.S.A!
The United States, where a vast majority of the world's population lives, is by far the greatest nation on earth. Where we can be free, and not feel persecuted. Where each and every day we gain even more freedom. I am proud to live in this great nation, and I know my ancestors felt the same. A nation where I can be the writer of a new age of freedom.
America was born on that fateful day in July, on the year of 1776. All though the holiday of the 4th of July has lost it's meaning to almost all of the citizens of the United Stats, I have not forgotten. My great uncle did not die in vain, for he fought for this nation, and the world, as did my grandfather.(Both, in fact! How cool is that?) We are the first to respond in the world, have the most educated people, and are the creators of some of the world's finest technology. No country in this world can claim what America has, and never will. We are truly free.
Alas, though. We are a nation that is divided by beliefs and theological ideas. Can we just agree to disagree? I wish it was that easy, as egos get in the way. Never will man agree on one idea, let alone many. What we do need to understand that we are all Americans, no matter where we came from originally. We are one people, where we are melded as one. Love one another, and know the true peace that comes from being free and safe.
No other country would help the needy, much less have clean drinking water and talented doctors. Go anywhere else in the world, and you will miss your home land. Can you ever imagine living anywhere else? Places where they keep people in fear, and there is no jobs to speak of? How is a person to raise a family in those countries? Where eating each day is something that is not realistic?
The sky really did smile upon America. The diversity of our nation's towns and cities is even amazing. It is a pleasure to travel around this country, from coast to coast we are the nation with the most. I've traveled somewhat through the Midwest, and it is beautiful. The open plains suits me well. When I saw the national parks as a child, I was amazed. The sights of Yellowstone, from the geyser, to the thermal pools, the thunder storms, and of course the wild life, are all equally fulfilling.
So take.a moment this 4th of July to remember what the holiday is about. Be thankful for our forefathers and their struggle so long ago to make our wonderful country a reality. Remember, the spirit of a patriot is an indomitable one. Happy birthday to the U.S.A!

Guilty by Association
We've all heard the term, and of course we knew what this refers to, but do we know how much this has hurt individuals throughout history? "One apple ruins the whole bag." As unjust as this is, it happens all the time in society. Both family, friends, and even yourself can be hurt by it daily.
Let me explain personally what this may mean. Because I, like certain things, from video games, television, and comic books, I get labeled anything from idiot to nerd. (Maybe I am just that, but I am, as always, a man of honor.) Ever been labeled for the people who are close to you? They could call you a drug addict or user when that is far from the truth. We should be allowed to befriend anyone, despite anything. Behold, the ultimate conformist society we live in.
When will society learn that we are not all lemmings? That we should be held for judgement in front of all? We will never be judged rightfully, so I suppose its best to just adapt. Live above the fire, and out of the all condemning eye. Believe in yourselves, family, and friends, for out are sacred to them, and that is worth it alone. Fear not, for fear is only in the mind. Nothing can harm you as long as you are peaceful and kind, which is truly the way.
Let me remark upon something unfair. One person is with a crowd, weather knowingly or not. They just want to fit in, belong. They may give in and do what the others, or not. Before you know it, peer pressure sets in, and he becomes "one of them." Is that fair to say they're just like everyone there? Or should we know that we cannot ever judge books by their cover? So rise up, accept yourself, and know that you are unique and whole no matter what another says. Don't you know in another's eyes you just might be beautiful?
I could go on for hours about political and criminal injustice. Nikola and Bart were the two people that suffered the most for being guilty by association. However, I am an outsider and do not know much about this form of 'justice' but I hope others do. Stand up against people being victims of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
In conclusion, please don't let others judge you and.break you down. You are better than them. You have a whole lifetime to get it right, and you will. Poetic justice will come to you, and you will take what is your's. Believe a human being is a complete and whole creature, no matter what they do, even if they collect old comics like I do. Or something like that.

A Justified Revolution
Have you ever noticed that their is so much injustice everywhere you look? There is a reason for that, and it is not defined by our overseers, but by our fellow man. To put it quite simply, we live in an unjust society. Life is not fair.
How has society became this place of such injustice? Only two classes remain in society, the elite and the scorned. Life has became a game for many people on this earth, and no justice remains. What does this mean for us?
Society has became empty, but there is a silver lining. We will always be poor in so many things, but I believe society is on the edge of an utter revolution. Something big, and it is visible to most; just look in the palm of your hands.
Technology has made the less fortunate popular, and the unrighteous villians. It's beautiful. Even with television , with the digital conversion has given informative shows to the poor. Smart watches, phones, computers, and even glasses has given us the world at our fingertips. Rejoice.
But I will say this; poetic injustice will not cease, so show your strength. Be firm and strong, for those unnoticed, will be the leaders, and the youth will rise into more advanced schools and colleges. Those in power will remain there, but it's all for a greater cause, one I don't even understand.
Never shun one, for we don't know where they have been. Always remain conscious, for our poetic justice is soon. You just got to believe, if anything, in this revolution that is on the horizon. Stand firm.

Poetic Injustice
Hey guys, 'Cipher' here, and I'm fairly new to blogging, but not writing. Today and from now on, I will be examining cases in society where things don't seem all that 'liberal', 'moderate' or even 'conservative'. I'll be your guide or maybe even someday, a friend, at least a metaphysical level.
Part 1; The Bad Neighbor
This is about my so called 'neighbor'. Let's start by examining him in what we will call 'The Initial State'. Where should I start?
Subject A;
Obnoxious, very obscene, a chronic gambler, takes advantage of people, and straight out of prison to become our 'Neighbor'.
Now, for his 'Second State';
Taking out loans to support his gambling state, attending some odd church, and he has a sudden 'stroke'.
(I'm not belittling a stroke, and he has had them before, however, it seemed 'all to timely.')
What looks like his 'Third State';
Gets to skip 2 months rent, as well as all the various appointments, including his meetings with his probation officer.
Now, here's what I believe, and trust me, my opinion is as good as anyone's opinion. He was biting off more than he could chew, strokes out, and gets a free storage unit for 2 months. The stories I heard from people who visited him in treatment was that he couldn't walk, couldn't talk, and his main concern was getting to his next cigarette.
There is much more to this, but I have omitted what would only be my conjectures. I'll leave this tough subject up to whatever viewers I may draw.
