Poesy Bybone
Author

Gregory Von Lee

The author is a hermit! A lifetime underachiever: A person who learned that you make it in life by hard work, smarts and chance. Who understands that there are no accidents or luck in life; there are only mistakes, opportunities and preparation. The author does not believe in marriage or relationships because he doesn't want to share 50/ 50 with no one. He only believes in intercourse and the feelings for the moment. It doesn't matter how a woman looks. That’s because the author is more interested in the act and the person than the physical features. The author doesn't want his picture in the book because he rather be recognized for his works not his face. And he wants you to know in the end where to find happiness. It's not in a mate. They could leave you one day. It's in your babies.

    POESY BYBONE

    YES I DO THINK THAT I AM THE SMARTEST PERSON WHO EVER LIVED. I AM DEFINITELY SMARTER THAN YOU BECAUSE YOUR DUMB ASS BROUGHT THIS BOOK. MAYBE? SOME PEOPLE CALL ME AN EGOTISTIC ASSHOLE. I WILL TELL THAT THEY ARE RIGHT BECAUSE AN ASSHOLE AND AN EGOTISTIC PERSON GOES HAND AND HAND (THE SAME). KIND OF LIKE SAYING YOU ARE A FAT HIPPO, GREEDY HOG, OR PUSSY WHIPPED HUSBAND! THEY ARE ALL WHAT I CALL DOUBLE NEGATIVE AND LIKE I WROTE IN MY FIRST BOOK. I DON’T BELIEVE IN 50/50 RELATIONSHIPS. THE ONLY 50/50 RELATIONSHIP IN MY HOUSE IS MY TWO HANDS, AND EVEN I GET TIRED OF THEM SOMETIMES IN MY BATHROOM. (SWEARED). GOD BLESS

    POESY BYBONE IS DIFFERENT FROM MY FIRST BOOK, LYRICAL BIBLE, FOR THREE REASONS. ONE IS THAT IT HAS A DIFFERENT NAME. TWO, IT WAS WRITTEN AT A DIFFERENT TIME, (SILLY.) THREE, POESY IS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF COUNTRIES, AND LYRICAL IS ABOUT RELIGIONS. FOUR, I HAVE CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET SINCE THEN. NOT THAT I AM GAY, IT’S JUST THAT I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE CLOSET SINCE I WAS FOURTEEN. OH, I THOUGHT THAT I SAID THREE? AND YEAH, I GOT DIVORCED SINCE THEN, AND SHE TOOK MY DOG, (LADY.) I MISS THAT BITCH. YOU FIGURE IT OUT. BUT REALLY, THE TWO DIFFERENCES IS THAT LYRICAL BIBLE IS BASED ON E.N.T.I.C.E.S. AND POESY BYBONE IS BASED ON S.W.E.A.R.E.D. (LET IT BE SAID, WRITTEN, EDITED, ANALYZED, READ, ENGULFED, AND DONE). THE NUMBERS IN POESY BYBONE LIKE THE TITLE GO BACKWARD, AND IT HAS PLAYS AND NOT SHORT STORIES. NONE OF THE HISTORY OF COUNTRIES ARE MY WORKS. I TOOK THE INFORMATION FROM SOURCES ON THE INTERNET, PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS, WITH PEOPLE FROM THOSE COUNTRIES AND PUT THEIR HISTORIES IN POETRY. THAT POETRY FORM OF WRITING SHOULD HELP ADULTS READ OTHER COUNTRIES’ HISTORY TO THEIR KIDS MORE EASILY. KIDS LIKE THINGS THAT RHYME, BASICALLY THE GENERAL COMMON KNOWLEDGE OF COUNTRIES. ALL THE POEMS ARE MY POEMS. ALL THE SCENEPLAYS AND COMPOSITIONS ARE MINE TOO. BUT LET ME GIVE YOU A TIP. I WILL BE KNOWN AS THE GREATEST AUTHOR THAT EVER LIVED, BETTER THAN SHAKESPEARE. SO THEREFORE, KEEP MY BOOKS, AND WHEN I DIE (OR GET MARRIED AGAIN), I WILL BECOME KNOWN AS THE SMARTEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED AND THE GREATEST LIAR TOO. SO MY BOOKS WILL BE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY ONE DAY OR IN ABOUT FIFTY TO ONE HUNDRED YEARS. OH, I DID A LITTLE SUCKLING TOO. I WROTE THIS BOOK FOR TWO REASONS. ONE IS TO IRRITATE PEOPLE WITH SOME RACIST VIEWS, AND TWO IS THE CONCEPT THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO LIVE FOR IF YOU DON’T HAVE SOMETHING TO DIE FOR (LIKE YOUR KIDS AND THEIR KIDS’ KIDS). I WANTED TO CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK ABOUT SOME THINGS. YES, THERE WILL BE MISTAKES IN GRAMMAR, STEREOTYPING, PUNCTUATIONS, AND SOME SLANG. IS SWEARED A WORD? SHOULDN’T IT BE SWORN? TAKE CARE.

    PRIMORDIAL

    THE WORLD IS CHANGING. AND TO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT PATH IT WILL TAKE IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PATH IT TOOK. EVERYTHING THAT WAS ONCE ON TOP WILL END UP BACK ON THE BOTTOM AND VICE VERSA. WE MUST KNOW THAT HISTORY AND NATURE ARE THE SAME THING BECAUSE ONE’S HISTORY IS BASED ON ONE’S NATURE. BOTH HISTROY AND NATURE WILL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN. REMEMBER, THE SUN WILL GO UP AND DOWN, WHETHER WE ARE HERE OR NOT. THINGS WILL CHANGE WITH OR WITHOUT US. EVERY GREAT DYNASTY HAS FALLEN, JUST LIKE THE ONES TODAY WILL FALL. THE SLAVE OWNERS WILL BE THE SLAVES’ SLAVES ONE DAY. GOD AND NATURE HAVE NO FAVORITES, NO CHOSEN ONES, NO SON, AND NO PITY. THERE ARE ONLY SIX THINGS THAT ARE FOR SURE IN THIS EXISTENCE: GOD, TIME, NATURE, CHANGE, SPACE, AND INFINITY. SOME SAY THAT A GOD IS NOT FOR SURE, BUT WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW IS THAT SOMETHING WILL ALWAYS WORSHIP SOMETHING IN THIS UNIVERSE. THAT IS JUST THE NATURE OF THINGS. NEVERTHELESS, MY PURPOSE HERE ON THIS EARTH IS TO START THE PROCESS OF PUTTING GOD’S FIRST PEOPLE BACK ON TOP. I AM A BLACK MAN, SO YOU DO THE MATH. MY BLACK, WHITE, AND BROWN FRIENDS TELL ME THAT I SHOULD NOT WRITE AND SAY THE THINGS THAT I BELIEVE BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT MY BOOK SALES. YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY TO THEM? I WASN’T PUT ON THIS EARTH TO SELL BOOKS. MONEY IS NOT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. POWER IS. IF YOU CAN THINK DEEP ENOUGH, YOU CAN FIGURE HOW THEY ARE THE SAME. LET ME HELP YOU. IF YOU ASK ANY MAN WHAT HE WOULD WANT MOST, MONEY OR POWER, SEE WHAT HE SAYS. BUT GIVE HIM A MINUTE OR TWO TO THINK ABOUT IT AND DON’T LET HIM GIVE YOU A QUICK ANSWER. SO MY BROTHER OF ALL CREEDS, REMEMBER THIS: THERE’S NOTHING TO LIVE FOR IF YOU DON’T HAVE SOMETHING TO DIE FOR (SWEARED).

    200 Years until Tears

    2010:

    It’s the year 2010 and the white man is still in charge and in control.

    Yet his hypocrisy to the minority is getting very tiresome and very old.

    This is the first year more minority babies were born than the majority.

    And since that day, things have changed, ranging from revolt and mutiny.

    The minority says that they want equality, opportunity, and more respect.

    And that the white men have not wanted to share anything quite yet.

    That he is a selfish and lying man and that his demise is long overdue.

    And one day, he will suffer dearly until his pale face turns red and blue.

    2060:

    It’s the year 2060 and the white man in no longer running the big show.

    That his silly little game has been figured out, and now it and he have to go.

    For now, the minority outnumber the white people for the first time here.

    And the white man is walking on eggshell now because of his deep fears.

    Now that things are on even grounds for all, the white man is going crazy.

    He is committing suicide, mass murders because he is so mentally weak.

    He has never had to deal with life being fair or had to share with others.

    He is falling fast and soon dying out like the dinosuar and his British brothers.

    2110:

    It’s the year 2110 and the white man is no longer the majority people now.

    The Hispanic men are the majority people and spreading their weight around.

    Now it is a revolution, and it may get bloody, and things could come unglued.

    Because of the change of the guard, the white men can’t follow the new rules.

    Therefore, he must give up his long-held throne peacefully or by brutal force.

    Because this land has some new leaders, new ways of thinking, and a new voice.

    Now the poor white men must pay for all of his father’s fathers hateful sins.

    And the line has been drawn, chicken has come home to roost, and it’s very thin.

    2160:

    It’s the year 2160 and the white man is lost and bordering on being wiped out.

    Having the weakest gene, his people are headed for sure extinction and no clout.

    What used to be good in the land of the free is now the white man big cemetery.

    It’s now a place of memoirs of the good days that were the best of anyone’s history.

    But the seasons have never stopped changing, and life is part of the natural circle.

    But the white man saw his downfall too late, like all great empires of racist people.

    He bombed the Japanese, enslaved the Negroes, and killed many Iraqi innocents.

    He murdered the American Indians, took Mexican land, and deserve what he will get.

    A Beautiful Flower Ungathered

    Some of nature’s most beautiful things go undiscovered and missed, like a clear spring water that freely flows in the hidden forest.

    God has blessed the whole world with countless of lovely things, yet many seasons pass without even appreciating what life mean.

    I once seen a beautiful young lady riding alone on the city bus, with hair of bronze, lips like cherry, great smile, and so gorgeous.

    I never spoke to her, for my mind was busy obsorbing her beauty— a beauty so great I felt that she was so much above simple little me.

    Another admirer spoke to her, and she said her name was Silvina.

    She spoke in Spanish and said she was from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    She said her family was poor, and she was looking for a better life.

    She came with a husband, but now he left her, and she’s a lonely wife.

    I couldn’t believe that such beautiful eyes could ever show sadness.

    She was a perfect 10, someone that I would consider God’s earthly gift.

    It’s so true that some just don’t know what treasures about and one’s worth.

    A simple touch, a child’s love are all like a beautiful flower ungathered.

    A Bigger Boat

    She was tall and slender and a very sexy trophy

    A beautiful woman with a desire of a erotic fien

    So I courted her as if she was the only one for me

    I was spoiled by her touch and enhale her like weed

    And when we finally made love, it was like a storm

    Full of pounding, noises, and flooding of wet cum

    I’ve been told that I was a man well endowned

    A wonderful lover who knows how to get down

    But with you, it was like an abyss and a black hole

    I can’t last but a few minutes before I lost control

    The passion is too hot and fast I felt I was a virgin

    The large vagina and lubrication made me drop in

    No matter how long I stroke and move, I got engulfed

    I hoped that my size and foreplay will be enough

    I gave her my all with some more very hard strokes

    But she said to me, You’re gonna need a bigger boat.

    A Bribe to the Fairy Man

    I need to get to the other side of Styx where limbo end and the inferno exit for I am criminal, sinner, and menace it’s time for me to go to hell for my sinning so warn madusa and hades that I am coming for I am sure they know because of my living

    I have been a bad person and a rotten human now I need a coin for a bribe to the fairy man

    I need him to row that gloomy boat for I have one coin

    I have no plan to return or ask for repentance my soul have left me and I have no spirit

    I am at peace with death and ready to commit and no one can save me for God has spoken

    I am destined for hell because of my constant past sins everyone must understand what actions has brought and now the boat has arrived and I have a bribe for the fairy man

    A Clear Path Forward

    I am not afraid of what tomorrow or tonight will bring

    I look forward to the morning dew and the early bird singing

    I feel solace in the high noon sun and its warmth

    Cherish the sunset and the darkness and their worth

    I am very full of energy and it shows in my every step

    I just want to live my life fully without limiting myself

    So this temporary loss in my life will not hinder my efforts

    I am not worrying because I see a clear path forward

    You say you may or may never come back to me

    That this breakup is hard on both caring parties

    Yet I am ready for the thunderstorm and the tormented river

    Knowing that there will be tears and days I will shiver

    I have seen the sunlight that brings the better days

    My blinders are off and there’s no fog, smog, or haze

    Though I love you, I am ready for the future pain and hurt

    Because with God by my side, I see a clear path forward

    After All This Time

    You asked me questions that I cannot answer

    And your insecurity is like a fatal mental cancer

    Sweetheart, you don’t have any trust in me at all

    And without trust, we are sure to fade and fall

    I cannot prove to you all the time my love is true

    It is something that you have to know or conclude

    Until then, the stress and the drama will blow our minds

    You should be more confident after all this time

    We have been together long enough to be comfortable

    And neither one of us needs to try to put on a show

    There comes a time when love is a dire risk

    And it takes both of us to bring about some bliss

    Love is chance taking, commitment, and give and take

    Knowing that most of the time it ends up in heartbreak

    So you just roll the dice or keep it out of your mind

    With God’s will, we will last after all this time

    Alfred and Zulima

    Brothers not Adam and Eve it was Alfred and Zulima

    For they were the two people who started our era

    It wasn’t the Garden of Eden it was the grove of paradise

    Where the Almighty God created all things in our lives

    For we will know that black people started all other peeps

    They are the only people that can father all other creeds

    For no other color can birth a black man genetically

    Yet black man can create a white albino with his seed

    So if anyone has some doubts about all human origin

    Know that we all come from the black man and woman

    Though most people can never face the simple facts

    That at one time the first Homo sapien on earth was black

    Black people was the the first to inherit the earth

    God created man in his image and he created black man first

    All Things Being Equal

    I don’t have enough money to out bid the other guy

    And I am not the most handsome to the naked eye

    I may not be as romantic as the one you had before

    Or as chivalrous as the one who opens all the doors

    Maybe my house is not as big as the rich guy you know

    And maybe my car won’t win a local automobile show

    But I have true love that will last until we grow old

    I am the right one for you if all things being equal

    Maybe my words are not as silver tongued as others

    And my lovemaking is not the best under the covers

    I don’t have all the time to give like the free dudes

    And maybe I get a little upset and do things that’s rude

    But I know that our hearts and souls together are great

    That you are the one for me and my one soul mate

    For me, what we have is rare, unique, and special

    Yes, I am a blessing in disguise all things being equal

    Also Ran

    No one respects, loves, or remembers the secondhand man

    We only talk about or praise the one with the winning hand

    Less credit is given to Malcolm X than Martin Luther King

    They criticize the buffalo bills for losing four straight rings

    The greatest boxing match ever was probably Ali versus Foreman

    Yet Ali became an icon and Foreman was somewhat forgotten

    And who can forget that the hare lost and the turtle did win

    I guess it’s not how you start: it’s how you finish in the end

    Then there is the loving woman Eve who came after Adam

    And by the way, does anybody know what was man’s second sin

    Maybe it was another lie told by the evil deceiving serpent

    Let’s not forget the mistress who’s always on the layaway plan

    And what about Larry Doby who came after Jackie Robinson?

    The pretty girl that finished runner up in the beauty pagent

    She is thought about as much as a two-dollar bill is spent

    You always will remember your first love until time ends

    Most famous of them all is the devil after God that’s living

    So try to remember the accomplishments of all if you can

    For they are the most forgotten for second: the also ran

    AMONGST

    SOME PEOPLE ARE HATEFUL, NEGATIVE, AND LIKE TO CURSE

    THEY JUST CAN’T BE CONVINCED ON THE GREATNESS OF JESUS

    THEY SAY THAT HE WAS NOT GOD’S SON AND HIS WAS A BURST

    THAT HE WAS A NORMAL MAN LIKE A REGULAR OLD GUS

    I DON’T LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS. I WISH THEY WOULD HUSH

    FOR I KNOW JESUS LIVED AND WAS REINCARNATED FROM DUST

    SO WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT OTHERS WHO WANT TO JUST FUSS?

    JUST AS LONG WE STAY TOGETHER AND TRUST AMONGST US

    MY FAITH WILL NOT WEAKEN OR OVER TIME TEND TO RUST

    SURELY NOT BY SINNER WHO ROB, STEAL, FORNICATE, AND LUST

    FOR THEIR BLASPHEMY IS NOT WARRANTED OR EVEN JUST

    SO I ONLY IGNORE THE UNGODLY PROMOTING A JESUS AMBUSH

    I AM STEADFAST AND A DEVOTED FOLLOWER AND FOREVER PIOUS

    THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE HATERS WHO WILL DOUBT JESUS

    BUT WE SHALL NOT FALTER: FOREVER, WE WILL FIGHT AMONGST US.

    An Average Joe

    I am not perfect, so I try to do the best that I can

    And I don’t try to judge people I don’t understand

    I am the guy next door: I am someone’s best friend

    I bleed when I am cut, and I get sick again and again

    I have problem with money, and I do make mistakes

    I’ve been a fool in love and a few hearts I had to break

    I don’t have expensive cars or the biggest house

    And I have slept in a place with bugs and mouse

    I don’t have the best education, but I am smart

    Maybe I didn’t go to college, but I do work hard

    I believe in God, and that’s all I will say about that

    I don’t force my ideas on anyone because of respect

    I love people for their character and not their color

    If someone is a racist, I don’t talk to them any farther

    I’ve my hobbies that may range from balling or fishing

    I like clean things, and I like to cook my own dishes

    I try to stay in shape, but I am not a bodybuilder

    A family history of diabetes, hypertension, and cancer

    I like to be alone sometimes just to gather my thoughts

    And I eat the wrong things at times, especially with salt

    I am a guy most would see as an everyday John Doe

    I am a simple man living happy as an average Joe

    An Easy Way Out

    The people say that hindsight is 20/20

    Then I would have never ever went that route

    And if I knew what i had done was so damn silly

    Then I would have never given you so much doubt

    But had to lie to you to hide all that I had done

    I simply wanted to avoid all the screams and shouts

    What I did was selfish, egotistic, and not very big

    It’s not that I didn’t care, only I needed an easy way out

    I know that I hurt you with my cheating and lying

    And now you think that deceit is what I am all about

    You trusted me with your love, soul, and everything

    Now I am just like the others who, with you, had no clout

    But I want you to know that I don’t see you as a fool

    If you never forgive me my love, I won’t argue or pout

    Because I hurt you deeply and I broke all the rules

    No more secrets and no more looking for an easy way out

    An Eye for an Eye

    Yes, people, it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

    That is my life’s philosophy for dealing with you fools

    I can be as ruthless as the next guy that’s no problem

    For I am going to get mines by being harsh and even

    What you do to me I am going to do back to you

    Because I am going to come out on top when it’s through

    So when you fuck with me, expect in the end to lose

    I’m heartless, for it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

    Yes, people, it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

    Everything is an option, but I will break all the rules

    Because I know if you are weak, other will run over you

    They sense weakness just like an angry dog will do

    For I am always taking and not too fun of any giving

    I don’t care about others’ problems, just how I am living

    So fuck the dumb shit, I am making all the right moves

    I’ll bust a cap in your ass, an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

    An Old Ancient Lanther

    You are like the old ancient lanther that sits on the mantle

    Flickering and burning in the dark like a single lit candle

    The dim light brings back sweet memories of me and you

    Especially when we were kids and slept alone in our rooms

    It’s my time to reflect on your life and maybe cry once again

    It’s a great time to appreciate a wonderful and caring man

    I am your only sibling and you worried about me all your life

    You told me to cherish every day and never do think twice

    You did raise me to be a very good man just like you were

    You sheltered me like I was your one and only precious treasure

    I know that you are in heaven now still watching over me

    I feel your spirit in the dark and see your face in my babies

    You died many years ago: I am a man who is now middle-aged

    I understand everything you said and taught me as my sage

    Because you never had a real loving father in your life before

    You made sure I did have one until you couldn’t breathe no more

    I want to say I love you, I adore you, and I miss you so much

    Yet the peaceful glow of the old ancient lanther is a nice touch

    An Olive Branch

    I don’t want to fight, baby, I just want to work things out

    I don’t want to disagree, and I don’t want to even fight

    I wish that we could come to a nice, peaceful solution

    Tell you anything, my secrets and the complete truth

    I give up, I surrender and I am throughing in the towel

    I will submit to you, baby: I will gracefully bow down

    I want to sign a peace treaty that gives you, baby, all

    A truce without any preconditional or hidden clause

    Lay down my weapons then put myself unde arrest

    Not question your intention or pound my chest

    And when you have a problem don’t think twice

    I believe that we can still make it as if we planned

    Finally, i come to you with an olive branch

    Some say that I love you more than I love myself

    I just want to say I love you that’s really is my goal

    You are my oxygen, and you are always on my mind

    I don’t want to pressure, bore, or make you uncomfortable

    I just want to say that I adore you, that’s really all

    ARGENTINA: NORMADIC TRIBES AND THE EUROPEANS

    There were two or more main indigenous tribes people that lived in Argentina in the beginning

    These people were in the northwest territory of Argentina before the arrival of the Europeans

    There some people called the Diaguita in the northwest and the Guarani in the southeastern part

    These folks develop the cultivation of corn and were basically an agriculture people from the start

    They also fought off the progression of the Incas from expanding their growing empire into Argentina

    When the Spanish came, there were a long war that the indigenous people lost in that brutal arena

    The explorer Juan de Solis was the first Spaniard to land in Argentina, but he was soon killed in 1516

    Buenos Aires was the prized land to conquer, but it wasn’t established until the late-sixteenth-century scene

    The Europeans brought diseases from their country, which killed off many of the indigenous residence

    British attacked Buenos Aires in 1806–07 just as Spain had come under the control of Napoleonic France

    The natives managed to hold off the British advances and sought to demand their independence

    With the French control of Spain, the people of Argentina became completely under their own rule. There was a rebellion and the party of the separatists decided to declare the country’s independence too

    ARGENTINA: INDEPENDENCE AND POLITICAL STRIFES

    One of the new patriots named Jose de San Martin crossed the Andes, and he successfully captured Lima

    With Simon Bolivar, Martin was thought to have broken the shackle of Spanish rule in South America

    In the early years of their independence, there was a bitter struggle for power by two political elements

    These groups were known as the Unitarists and the Federalists, fighting for control of the government

    Unitarists wanted a strong central government while the Federalists want the local control to be stronger

    The new European migration to the Argentinian landscape was the demise of the pre-Columbian culture

    With the lack of dominants of the indigenous folks, the European immigrant groups adopted different roles

    The Basque and the Irish the sheep rearing while the Germans and the Italians did mostly farming in whole

    Nevertheless, there was the British also who invested mainly in developing the country’s infrastructure.

    Buenos Aires had more than one-third of the entire Argentina population of thirty-two million people in its core

    It was the capital city with the principal native people who was the Quechua and the Mapuche in Argentina

    These two main groups were the Quechua who lived in the northwest and the Mapuche who lived in Patagonia

    ARGENTINA: THE PEOPLE AND ITS DIVERSITY

    Argentina now had a very strong Jewish and growing Anglo-Argentine communities throughout the country

    There were also Japanese communities, Chileans, and Bolivians with an enclave of Paraguayan communities

    The official language of Argentina was Spanish, but many natives kept their mother tongues as a matter of pride

    The first two centuries of the Spanish empire the least regarded region was from the Andes to the Plate riverside

    Unlike Mexico and Peru, Argentina lacked the gold and silver that attracted many adventurers to other areas

    In 1726, Buenos Aires had a population of about 2,200 until it started growing after an reorganization in 1776 dogma

    Then around 1810, Argentina had defeated the British and was establishing strongly its newfound independence

    After Ferdinand VII and violent conflicts, they brought back an Argentina-born officer named Jose de San Martin

    San Martin replaced Manuel Belgrano as commander, and the Argentina’s independence was declared on July 9, 1816

    Now San Martin is assembling as army to fight Peru via Chile with his Chilean ally Bernardo O’Higgins in the mix

    In January 1817, San Martin marched west into Chile and later got into a fierce war with Brazil in Uruguay region

    But in 1828 both Argentina and Brazil accepted that each was an independent buffer state between them

    ARGENTINA: NINETEENTH CENTURY AND WORLD WARS

    The first strong man of Argentina was Juan Manuel de Rosas who was elected governor of Buenos Aires in 1829

    He eventually rose to be a dictator and engaged Argentina in a brutal civil war in Uruguay in 1843 at the time

    Martin was replaced by Justo Jose de Urquiza, and he provided Argentina with a constitution and became president

    Urquiza was defeated by Bartolome Mitre who was elected president and made Buenos Aires the capital residence

    After fifty years of independence, most of its native American Indians are either killed or driven away deep

    The pampas area was basically lawless, and the ranchers figured out that the land was better for cattle and sheep

    Now the pampas area is very profitable and is divided into vast large ranches owned by many different families

    But by 1912, political unrest was explosive that the ruling group didn’t want to concede the election to the other party

    Hipolito Irigoyen, leader of the Radical Party, won the presidency in 1916 during the time of the First World War

    Yet the Great Depression made way for the military to take power of the country and then came Juan Peron’s tour

    Juan Peron was the one of the most revered persons in Argentina history, and so was his second wife, Evita Duarte

    Peron won the presidency in 1946 after World War II, which Argentina decided like the first war they wanted no part

    ARGENTINA: POSTWAR AND TODAY

    In 1952, with the death of Evita, Juan Peron was devastated, and economic problem led him to be an exile to Spain

    Peron returned to Argentina in 1973 with the blessing of his loyal friend Hector Campora who was at the reins

    After eighteen years of exile, Peron was again elected president but died in 1974, leaving the reins to his third wife Isabel

    Under Isabel, Argentina plunged into total chaos when she enlisted the help of General Jorge Rafael Videla for a spell

    Videla’s main job was to crush the civil unrest of the guerilla movement with torture, rape, and killing at all costs

    From 1976 to 1983, in the Dirty War or Guerra Sucia, an estimated thirty thousand people just disappeared or was lost

    This war ended at the time the Argentinian army was engaged in a battle with the British over the Falkland Islands

    The Argentinian economy was collapsing under military rule, and their army surrendered to the forces of the Britain

    In December 1990, President Carlos Menem pardoned Videla and his cohorts for their crimes in the Dirty War

    Argentina would suffer another economic collapse in 2002 because of government corruption and a declining peso

    Argentina got the exchange rate of the peso from four pesos per dollar to three pesos per dollar with the help of the IMF

    Nestor Kirchner became president, and when his term was over in 2007, his wife, Cristina, won the presidency after he left

    A Second Opinion

    All my friends say that you are fooling around

    That what you are doing is the talk of the town

    They say that I am foolish to stay by your side

    That I am on a seesaw and a roller-coaster ride

    My family say the I am stupid to ignore the rumors

    That a smart person would have seen it sooner

    Everybody says you are simply wasting my time

    And if I don’t change, I will eventually lose my mind

    The pressure will leave and let bygones be bygones

    But I am waiting for more evidence: a second opinon

    I feel pain in my heart because of some neglect

    I feel alone, unappreciated, and taken for granted

    You don’t make love to me much or kiss me at all,

    And when you are out, you don’t bother to even call

    We never go out, spend time talking, or laugh together

    You give me rain checks even when there’s good weather

    So I get depressed and stressed out when I think of our future

    Maybe I am just crazy to feel so misused and so insecure

    But I am steadfast and committed to my heart decision

    I am desperate at time: waiting for a second opinion

    A Shout Out

    A shout out to all the devote fighters for animal rights

    An appreciation for the fathers who come home at night

    A trophy for the ones who donate blood and their organs

    A praise for those who give hope to people through religion

    A kind word to the Red Cross that helps millions daily

    An applause to the police, firemen, and our brave military

    An encore to the ones who protest for a better government

    A tribute to the doctors who save lives and cure the patients

    A blessing to the mothers who would give her child her last

    A metal for a rich man who give to charity a lot of his cash

    An award for the heroes of this dangerous modern melee

    A prize to a person who helps keep his word and always pays

    A big hug for a coach who brings out the best in his players

    A ribbon for all the politicians who truly serve their voters

    A thanks for the organizations who house and feed the homeless

    An acclaim for the groups who work with the sick and disable kids

    An ovation for the dreamers who bring new innovation about

    A salute to all the love in mankind: to all of them a shout out

    At War at Home

    Why I can’t come to my home to peace and quiet

    Why is my house a residence of chaos and riots

    A man’s home should and suppose to be his safe haven

    Not a place of stress full of loud noises and a pig’s pen

    Constantly criticizing me about what we don’t got

    Instead of seeing what we have than we have not

    The water glass is always half empty in your eyes

    And whenever I fall short, it’s not failure, it was a lie

    We fight about small things and never solve the big

    Always talking about past mistakes and the things I did

    Never motivating me to battle all of life’s challenges

    Yet very quick to remind me about broken promises

    Then comparing us to other couples who have more

    But you can’t lie in a foxhole with me like a true soldier

    And when I am injured, I am left to recover all alone

    I’m a bleeding cavalry man that has fallen at war at home

    Audience of One

    This is to all the haters and critics I know your tricks

    You try to discourage me with all your silly antics

    I am a very proud man, and you can’t trick me

    I will always stay confident and remain uppity

    So don’t try to bring me down with your words

    Because I am too strong for you to stop or hurt

    So I don’t care what you say for it doesn’t matter

    Because I know that you are jealous and bitter

    And I can see through all your evil ways often

    I am committed to my ego even with an audience of one

    I will always keep aging if I am the only believer

    I have conquered all foes because I am more clever

    Some say that I am full of myself until it’s a fault

    But they are negative people who like to just talk

    So I don’t listen to loser or waste my time around them

    I keep away from fools that spread lies and make problems

    I will live alone before I let the haters win in the end

    I will just encourage myself alone with an audience of one

    AUSTRALIA: THE COMMONWEALTH

    The Commenweatlh of Australia is a country in the Southern Hemisphere of the mainland of the continent

    The island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, shores, and banks

    Neighboring countries include Indonesia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea to the north of the country

    Also the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia to the northeast and New Zealand to the southwest entity

    For at least forty thousand years before European settlement in the late eighteenth century, Australia had indigenous peeps

    After discovery by the Dutch explorer in 1606, Australia’s eastern half was claimed by the British in 1770

    It was initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South wales, founded February 1788

    The population grew steadily, and the continent was explored and five self-governing Crown colony states

    On January 1, 1901, the six colonies became a federation, and the Commonwealth of Australia was established

    Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and commonwealth

    The population is twenty-two million, with approximately 60 percent concentrated in nation’s capital city is Canberra proper

    Australia is the world’s thirteenth largest economy and is ranked highly in many international main factors

    And ranked high in comparison of national performance such as human development and health care life

    Australia has a high quality of life, life expectancy, public education, economy freedom, and political rights

    Australia: Etymology

    For the Australian english name is derived from the Latin australis meaning southern in its original context

    The country has been referred to colloquially as Oz since the early twenieth century and Aussie in some sects

    Legends of terra australis incognita, an unknown land of the south, date back to Roman times and conquest

    Following European discovery, names for the Australian landmass were often references to the terra australis

    The earliest recorded use of the word australis in English was in 1625 in a note of Australia del espiritu santo

    Written by master hakluyt and published by Samuel purchase in hakluytus posthumous in other text and code

    The Dutch adjectival form australische was also used by Dutch East India company officials in Batavia in 1638

    The name in 1693 term of les aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la decouverte et le voyage de terra australe

    Alexander Dalrymple used it in an historical collection of voyages and discoveries in the south Pacific Ocean

    The name by the end of the eighteenth century was being used by the botanists George Shaw and Sir James Smith

    From Shaw and Smith writing of the vast island or rather continent, of Australia, Australasia or new Holland

    In their 1793 zoology and botany of new holland, and James Wilson including it on a 1799 charts and plans

    The name Australia was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders, who pushed for it to be formally adopted

    So in England, in 1824, the admiralty agreed that the continent should be known officially as Australia as set

    Australia: History and People

    It’s said that human habitation of Australia is estimated to have begun between forty-two thousand and forty-eight thousand years ago

    Possibly with the migration of people by land bridges and short sea crossings form what is now South Asia

    These first inhabitants may have been ancestors of modern indigenous Australian living in the outer layers

    At the time of European settlement in the late eighteenth century, most indigenous Australians were hunter gatherers

    With a complex oral cutlture and spiritual values based on reverence for a land and a belief in the dreamtime

    The Torres Strait islanders, ethnically melanesian, were originally horticulturalist and of hunter gatherers line

    After sporadic visits by fishermen from the Malay archipelago there was the first recorded European sighting

    This sighting was first recorded European landfall in the Australian continent was of Dutch navigator’s ring

    Main navigator was Willem Janszoon; he sighted the Coast of Cape York Peninsula on an unknown date in 1699

    He made landfall on February 26 at the Pennefather River on the western shore of Cape York near Weipa aliegn

    Dutch charted the whole of the western and northern coastlines of new Holland during the seventeenth century

    William Dampier, an English explorer/ privateer, landed on the northwest coast of Australia in 1688 repeatedly

    1770 James Cook sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia, which he named New South Wales entity

    Cook claimed it for Great Britain, and his dicovery prepared the way for establishment of a new penal colony

    Australia: Explorers versus Indigenous People

    The British Crown Colony of New South Wales was formed on 26 January 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip arrived

    Arthur Phillip led the first fleet of Port Jackson for to this date in January became Australia national day prize

    Once Van Diemen’s land, now known as Tasmania, was settled in 1803 and became a seperate colony in 1825

    United Kingdom formally claimed the western part of Australia in 1828 with seperate colony on the south side

    Seperate colonies were carved from parts of New South Wales: south Australia in 1836, Victoria in 1851 too

    To later to be known as Queensland in 1859 and later the northern territory was founded in 1911 and as anew

    South Australia was founded as a free province it was not a penal colony but accepted transported convicts

    A campaign by the settlers of New South Wales led to the end of convict transportation to the colony’s sects

    The indigenous population, estimated at 350,000 at time of European settlement and after the Dutch explorers

    Indigenous population declined steeply for 150 years following settlement because of disease that occured

    Stolen generations (the removal of the aboriginal children from their families) could be consider genocide

    Such interpretations of aboriginal history are disputed by conservative commentators of different minds

    Minds like former prime minister John Howard as exaggerated of fabricated for political of ideological reasons

    And this debate is known in Australia as the history war, which brought about a referendum later in 1967

    Australia: The Federation and the Commonwealth

    Federal government gained the power to make laws with respect to Aborigines following the 1967 referendum

    Traditional ownership of land, native title, was not recognized until 1992 with the high court case decision

    The case Mabo v Queensland overturned the notion of Australia as a terra nullus before European arrival

    A gold rush began in Australia in the early 1850s and the eureka stockade rebellion against the mining arena

    Fought mainly on mining license fees in 1854 was an early expression of civil disobedience and revolution

    Between 1855 and 1890, the six colonies individually gained responsible government managing most of forms

    January 1, 1901, federation of the colonies was achieved after a decade of planning consultation and voting

    The new Commonwealth of Australia was established, and it became a dominion of the British empire in 1907

    The federal capital territory was founded in 1911 as the location for the future federal capital of Canberra seat

    Melbounme was the temporary seat of government from 1901 to 1927 while Canberra was being constructed

    Australia joined the British in fighting World War I with support of both the outgoing liberal and labor parties

    Australia took part in many of major battles fought on he western front for about 416,000 served in the armies

    About 60,000 were killed, and another 152,000 were wounded
