It is not George Bush's War
It is each of us who Fights a War
It is up to The Senate and Congress to Win
They Can Choose To Vote, To End or Win
It is Our Troops That Lose in the End
The Pain That Comes, From Wounds of War
The Loss of Limbs and Shattered Minds
Broken Hearts and Those Who Cried
Broken Dreams and Those Who Died
Tattered Hopes of Homeward Bound
Walk in a Land That may not be Found
Their Lives have Changed, From Boys to Men
Their Innocence Lost on a Battled Ground
Twisted by Knots that Wrenched Their Souls
Their Hearts have Bonded, Through War and Friends
Their Comrades, They will Never See Again
Their Families Hope, To see it all End
To Walk on Shores of Freedom's Light
Washed in Liberty,
When I see Her; Standing Guard
Watching Our Harbor, Opening Her Doorway
Welcoming all; who seek Her Guiding Light
LIBERTY! MUST STAND HER GROUND
FIGHTING All!
WHO WOULD TAKE HER DOWN.
Hillary’s Vote is Bush's War
Then Why is America Fighting Bush's War?
John Edwards Thinks it is a "Bumper Sticker"
Let Him get His Butt Shot!
Then He can really Expose His End
Here is my Sticker it’s right on the End
Our Fight will not be Won
When the Enemy is Ourselves
The Congress and Senate
Must be One
NOT: DEMOCRATS nor REPUBLICANS
BUT A NATION OF ONE
Dedicated To Our Troops
Who are Leading The Fight
A Poeatreeman
I Pray That God will end the Strife
Granting Peace, Throughout Our Lives

God Wakes Me
Dedicated To God
God Wakes Me Each Day I am Here
I Rise with The Morning
To Hear His Songs Play
The Wind That is Whistling Through The Trees
The Birds Singing in The Right Keys
The Harmony of Nature
When it Follows God's Plans
The Hopes That Man will Find His way Through
The Songs That will be Sung is all up To You
Nature will Follow Her own way Through
Man can Help if He Keeps in Tune.
A Poetryman
If I Hear a Song I do not Like
Be Happy That I Can Hear it Twice
If I do not Like what I am Playing
Change The Record Now
See Who Wrote The Lines To it
Know There are Two sides To it
One Label Which Side Now?
Right or Wrong it's your Play Now.

God's Picture Show
Dedicated To God
The Sun Rises
The Light Shines on
The Day Begins
A New Day is Born
Starting The Show
You are The Dawn
Playing The Part
You are The First Born
Given Time
Darkness will be Born
Bringing Rest To The Light
God Has Chosen
To Sleep This Night
Man was Awakened
To See His First Light
God Has Given
The Picture of its Life
It's up To Man
To Develop it Right.

God's Word!
To Rachel Wildflower
Must be Burned in The HEART
Not Written on PAGES
FAITH; Must be Taken To Heart
Not HEARTFELT; For The Ages
LOVE; Must be Given To All
Not Part of The Time; or Not at All
HOPE; is What GOD Gives you
When you Believe All is TRUE
HEAVEN; is There For you
Takes FAITH; To Get you Through
Dedicated To God

I Am Not A Hero
Honor All Who Served Freedom's War
Just a SOLDIER; Who Served The Cause
Those Who Died; are HEROS Lost
They Fought For FREEDOM; And Paid The Cost
Those Who Suffered; Wounds in WAR;
Took The BRUNT; For Us All
Those INFLICTED; by The Pain
Felt Each Care DYING; Slowly
Those Who Prayed For The End
Are all The HEARTS; Who want PEACE Again
Those Who DIED; REMEMBER Their Loss
They PAID The Price; For FREEDOM'S WAR;
I AM NOT A HERO
Just a SOLDIER; Who Gave it All
I Hope my COUNTRY; is Better Off
I Hope my LIFE; Was Worth The Cost?
I AM NOT A HERO;
Just One of GOD'S Soldiers Now
Who Washed on HIS Shore.
Dedicated To The Soldiers in Iraq
and Afghanistan
A Poetryman
Honor All Who Served Freedom’s War
For on Our Shores; Lies Freedom’s Door
Always Open To Wash Ashore
I Pray We Never Close its Door
I Pray it Never Leaves Our Shores

Honor
The Flag Flies High
In Freedoms Breeze
The Flag Drapes The Coffin
When Death Takes Our Vets
The Flag Flies at Half Mast
When HONOR is Bestowed Respect
Then Why was not HONOR Shown
To Those of NEW ORLEANS;
MISSISSIPPI; ALABAMA
And all The Nations Best?
Dedicated To The Nation
A Poetryman
For if I Cannot HONOR TRUTH
WHOM CAN I?

One New Year Will Bring me a Day
One New Year Has all the Promises of Tomorrow
One New Year To Find the Best of our World
One New Year To Make Peace with Sorrow
One New Year To Love Someone New
One New Year To Mend all the Cares
One New Year To Keep Friendship from Falling
One New Year To Thank all the Days Past Gone
One New Year To Dream Hope for Tomorrow
One New Year To Thank God you're Alive
One New Year To Make it all Worth While.

If I Bring Care to this Day
I'll have Added a Tear to Life
And with the World I'll Have Given Love

PERPLEX
It’s not The Chicken nor The Egg
That Came First
It’s Life itself
That Brought you Here
Were you not an Egg
That Life Opened?
You are Standing now
Unless you are an Egg
Still in your Shell
Waiting for Life
To Crack you Open?
Get off your Duff
So you can be Opened
A Hard Shell To Crack
When you’re not Opened
I can go to the Store
And Buy me a Dozen
Yet Life Has its Smile
When it Gives me a Dozen.
Dedicated To Shirley Madison
A Poetryman
These Darn Chickens
Gave me Too many Eggs
I am Left with a Dozen
That I can't Pay
A Fowl's Joke Told me
I will Scramble The Eggs
One Big one is on The Way

GOD HAS SET ME FREE
I Could not Stand in Front
I Could not Sit where I Wanted
I Had To Go; To The Back and Weep
I was Held Down by Indifference
And Pushed back by Race
I Could not move to The Front
For I was Blocked by Hatred
God moved me Ahead;
And gave me a Seat
I Rode in His Chariot;
And did not Weep
I was Happy to see;
His Golden Seat
I am here for Eternity
With Love as my Guide
I am Free!
For God is at my Side.
A Tribute To Rosa Parks
A Poetryman
Man may have me Ride the Bus
Yet Life will Tell me where and when
God will show me where I must go
He drives The Bus would not you know
He drove To Heaven;
and I was in the Front Seat
He Placed me There; For it was His Seat

Father Lend Me An Ear
To Me One Soul on Her Way
My CHURCH;
is under GOD'S House
He Hears my PRAYERS
I Need not SHOUT
My FAITH;
Will Hear The ANSWERS
TRUTH;
Will Show His WAY
HEAVEN;
May Come TODAY!
Do not Lose His WAY
Speak To God EVERYDAY
He Will ANSWER;
In many WAYS
Do you Hear my CHILD?
I Have SPOKEN To you;
Along The WAY.

A Mother's Day Card
Even though you Carried me
I still need to Take my steps
When I was one I walked away
Those steps took me not From you
But to a Place I had to know
The World was there but so were you
I had to go but not From you
No pain could cut the Life you gave
I am here to say that I Love you
One Love that grew beyond your womb
One Love that is Sweeter
Because of you.
A THOUGHT!
I came from Love and grew in Heart
A Poetryman
If I have anything I have a Chance to Love
A Road Traveled
You Held me when I was not
You Carried me all through life
When I was Born you gave me Love
When I am Ninety nine I'll still be yours
No matter if I am Loved or not
If I have Nothing it is because
I Chose nothing to Love
Edgar Allan Prieto

A ROAD Less Traveled Will Not Find HIS Way
The Road may be LONG
Yet SHORTER at The End
I have Started my JOURNEY
The ROAD has just Begun
I am WALKING To Heaven
With GOD at my Side
I am PASSING Eternity
To Find LIFE Once again
I am Walking with GOD
Knowing LIFE will not End
I am Here For ETERNITY
With GOD as my Friend.

All poems were written by Edgar Allan Prieto and were sent to me by him to add to my site. Thank you for the beautiful poems. You can go and visit his website at the above address.
I won't be in a basket My nest eggs in my Heart
Love does not always hop, Yet when it does hop to it
What am I a bunny? Just love hopping to you
The last time I looked I did not have a tail
Then why am I hopping around?
Love's got me by the hare
I never know when love will come
Yet when it does I'll take it all
Love will carry me through tomorrow
Beyond eternity and to the first day
What am I to do, If someone tries to pull my leg
A lucky foot they won't get
A HEART OF LOVE IS WHAT I HAVE.
They won't find it in any basket
You'll find it when love comes to you.
Don't stay in your shell If you want the hare to win
Don't race to love It will come when you care
Don't wait for tomorrow Love is here today
Don't cry tomorrow You have the rest of the day
A Poetryman.
I am not here for Easter But all the days you care

Happy Birthday Man
I WISH MAN; WILL DO IT RIGHT
God's Birthday Wish To Man
He Does not Blow out The Candles
Rather He Lights Them Each Day
That Man May Wish Another Hour
Love is The Brightest Candle
It Burns in His Heart
That Love will Shine The Hours
Man must Take Love in His Heart
That Hate will not be The Power.
