Bleeding love Where are we, what the hell is going on / The dust has only just begun to fall / Closed off from love, spinning round again / We didn’t need the pain, twice or thrice was enough / It was all in vain, time never ceases to pass / We’re frozen in this cycle of destruction Oil marks appear on walls, / where pleasure moments hung before / Sweeping insanity, sweeping insanity / Oh the insensitivity Something happened on the way, we lost our way / There was a very first time with us, we tasted the displeasure / The bile of unhappy endings and scorched earth policies / We let our hearts melt, / disappearing into the very ground we tread upon / We lost what was true, found something false to replace it / People get ready, there’s a train a coming / And everyone’s looking round, / but we no longer know who is going crazy / I know I’m going crazy Few are bold to say without care for circumstance / I don’t care what they say, I am still in love with you / Torturous souls that love the very thing that makes them sad / They try to pull us away, but they don’t know the truth / Our heart’s are crippled by the vein they keep on closing / They cut us open, and we keep bleeding / We just keep bleeding love We tried hard not to hear, but they talk so loud / Their pandering and propaganda piercing our ears / Question and they try to fill us with doubt / Our goal is to keep me from falling Nothing in this world is greater than the rush that comes / with our patriotic embrace / In this world of loneliness we must cease to lose face / Now everyone around us is going crazy, maybe, maybe It’s draining our history, it’s draining our souls / They find it hard to believe that we pity them / It is all of us who will be wearing these scars / For everyone to see Taken w/Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 300/2.8 AFS VR

Barack Obama – Change for America, for the World, for All of Us – The Audacity of Hope On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In his victory speech, delivered before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of his supporters in Grant Park in Chicago, Illonois, Obama proclaimed that “change has come to America.” Born in Hawaii, Obama will be the first U.S. President born outside the contiguous United States. He also will be fifth youngest President at the date of accession and the second since Lincoln whose primary political base is Illinois. This portrait illustrates and epitomizes the audacity of hope. President Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2009. Selected information courtesy of Wikipedia.

I would like to dedicate this image to all our fallen heroes and their loved ones; please know you will be remembered and appreciated forever. (This image is a composite of three photos, one of a soldier at Fort Polk, Louisiana, one of a flag taken at Spanish Lake in Iberia Parish, one of a country road connecting the rice fields near Kaplan, Louisiana. The background layer is the rice field road; I selected and pasted the flag and the soldier onto this background and used the sliders in the layers palette to control opacity and to give them an other worldly look. The background had the Orton effect applied. All this was done in PhotoShop Elements 6.0 for Macs). This image was inspired by Mark Graham my husband’s cousin, who gave his life in Iraq
Words for MY COUNTRY / By: Dale Crum / My Country is called AMERICA… the Land of the FREE and the Home of the BRAVE… My Precious FLAG is RED; dyed in the most costly pigment on planet earth… millions of gallons of rich royal crimson blood… Freely spilled from the hearts of the bravest men, and women our fair land had to offer… and WHITE… the color of blank pages of great hopeful anticipation, for the next wondrous chapters of our grand history yet to be written… and Blessed BLUE… the hallowed Star-filled night sky looming over us all… The indigo heavens which the fallen last looked upon… through blood flooded eyes… whispering brave cries of love… knowing the sparkling kisses of these same fading stars… tenderly cloak their loved ones back home… for whom they willing laid down their precious lives… TRUEST PATRIOTS ONE AND ALL! / I DO THIS DAY CREATE THIS PIECE IN HONOR OF THEE! WOE BE UNTO ALL those who would to denigrate, defile, and slander one drop of their blessed crimson flow… mistake not our pause… as a sign of weakness or of falling… but as a time of prayer and calling… unto the One who forged this land of Blessing, of Protection, of Freedom… for we have been faithful guardians over planet earth… the strong arm of bravery when tyrants sought to oppress… What color flag is it that bludgeoned eyes long to see rise ore the burning horizons of a million scorched hills? Tis the Red, and the White, and Star Kissed Blue! None other flag has given such great hope… none other flag has rescued more prisoners… none other flag has paid such a horrible price… none other flag but mine. Buzzard Fools are circling my flag this darkening day… smelling the air for the stench of death… brushing my sacred banner all too closely… roosting in trees rooted in treasonous bloated bellies… BUT HEAR ME WELL YE COWARDS… THIS EAGLE IS NOT BROKEN… SHE STILL SOARS… AND NOW ROARS OUT HER WARNING… HERE AND NOW… AND FOREVER MORE! SHE IS AMERICA… AND SHE IS MY COUNTRY!
Put this together today for a meeting tomorrow to remember our military and the sacrifice they made so we could live in a free country.
With many thanks to the Brave! / This is part of a 9-11 Memorial by Pepperdine College in Malibu, CA.
