You are too real; if you weren't such a great writer I'd say go into the ministry! I always get so totally caught up in the ‘what you saying’, I’d end up dropping lots $$$ in the basket come Sunday mornings.

- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Poems and plays; just finished a children's enviornmental book. So I'm looking for illustrators and then publishers before I decide to self-publish.
Also several short plays in process.
I cannot live without making a stand
I can say peace and make it happen
I can hold wind in my fingers
I can shape water without a container
I can rest my head on a drifting cloud
I can discern freedom from oppression
I can build a mountain with a leaf
I can fell a tall tree with a feather
I can balance the sun on my finger tips
I can quell injustices with words
I can travel on a time wave
I can shape shift into a cat
I can be heard in distant worlds
I can say peace and make it happen
I can discern freedom from oppression
I can quell injustices with words
I can write lies in these poetic verses
I can ignore oppression
I can ignore torture
I can deny that you are bleeding
I cannot live without making a stand
I can hold myself accountable
I can stand against injustices
I can stand against torture
I cannot live without making a stand.

Love's Mystery
Everyone talked
About it
Told frenzy tales
About it
Dreamed and
Implored it
Mused but
Never accused it
Whispered odes
Oh yes beseeched it
--
And so I fantasized
Then romanticized
Wide eyed
Mad about it
Till I searched
Everywhere for it
And when I thought
I’d found it
No one warned
That it was illusive
Could become intrusive
That I could lose it
And no one told me
How to keep it home

Keith Arnold said… - Great News!!!
A message from keith arnold to all of his friends, please forward this to all your friends!
Thank you to all of my friends who have supported me, and who will support me in the future by purchasing a copy of my book. I have great news, I have re-created a copy of my book so that most of you who couldn't afford to purchase it at the $19 price may be able to purchase it at the new price of $12. Please note that 10% of the proceeds that I receive from my book goes toward the American Cancer Society(my grandfather died from prostate cancer), and also the American heart association(my grandmother died from a massive heart attack). So, on behalf of Myself, the Kingdom of God, my grandmother, and my grandfather, thank you very much for your support! May God continue to bless each and everyone of you. Please click on the link below to purchase or preview my book. Love you to Life!!!!

Ronald Douglas Steele said… - Interesting. Powerful, ordinary people, are endowed with a ability to an assortment of ordinary and miraculous things. But, if they have nothing to die for, they have nothing to live for. I think that's a message from your above poem. Thanks.
