America

This poem is in Autumn Leaves:

There! Do you see it? Is it still there?

A bright ray of light that splits the dark clouds of despair…

A ray of light brightly shining forth

Through the dark gloom of ignorance…

A ray of light bravely illuminating

And piercing the haze of hunger.

What is this light made of?

Where does it come from?

This bright brave light is composed of

Invisible substances called love,

Hope, dreams, tolerance and freedom.

It emanated from a piece of earth called America,

Conducted by a God-fearing people

Who left the darkness and live in the light.

This bright light cannot be extinguished

Because, once seen or heard of,

Shines into the hearts and minds of the tired,

Hungry and opposed people of the world.

Do you see it? Yes! Yes!

Thank God, it’s still there!

  8. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content
    I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do
    you know any methods to help prevent content from being
    ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.

    • Thank you for your comment. As to plagiarism and copyright violations, I can sympathize with you. However, the internet has no parameters. Once it is put out there, who knows where it goes or how? I personally welcome sharing because it is the highest form of praise. I just want to get some ideas out there so people can become more aware and begin to make different decisions based on new information and expanded awareness. As to copyright violations, you can submit your work to the U.S. Copyright office for a cost of $35 online. However, the only way one can prosecute is, after acceptance and a copyright is issued, one must pursue in U.S. District Court, with a lawyer at the cost of $$$$$$. You just have to ask yourself if it is worth the effort. Enjoy your day anyway. 🙂

  18. After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked
    on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment.
    Is there a way you can remove me from that service? Cheers!

    • From WordPress IT assistance – for duplicate comments received because they checked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox issue:

      The easiest way for them to remove themselves from comment notifications is by navigating to the following page when logged in to their WordPress.com account:

      http://wordpress.com/following/edit/

      From that page, they’ll need to click the “Edit” link next to your blog name. Then, they’ll see the option to toggle the comment notification off. Here’s an example:

      If they do not subscribe through WordPress.com and instead use only email, they can still update their subscription setting by using the Manage Subscriptions link at the bottom of the email as shown here:
