Night of our moon
This world is a game of do or die
We refuse to see the tears as the children, they cry
We don't even stop to ask ourselves why
It's not that we're mean, we simply know not how to be so kind
And the moon rises over the rye
Eerily kissing the twilight goodbye
the moon rising over the rye
Blue skies are for the eagles wings
and sometimes, when the moon is up,the wind only seems to sing
of how, come dawn, the skies are free
it's beauty is shared by you and me
And the moon's disappearing into a blue sky
granting the eagles the freedom to fly
the moon disappearing into our blue sky
We have all had our share of sorrow and pain
Without this, may I ask you, would you really be sane
and though it is sad to see our loved ones leave
you'd be blind not to see how through
darkness the moon's light does weave
And as we look to the moon we're in tears
as we remember good times and past years
looking to the moonlight in tears
We have made it through the day, the moon is now in sight
Come now children, you've all been wronged
and you know this in the night
You ponder of how in the day the wrong could seem so right
You ignorance betrayed you, and did you really think
there could be a shadow not cast by light
And the moon comes to us in the night
through darkness comes hope with its pale silver light
the moon is with you in the night
Now it may just be me, but man,it seems, is overrated
But to you I'm a child, and so the poet has overstated
As you turn away from the truth, you cast your own shadow of doubt
And as you are engulfed in its darkness, your denial it echoed in shout
And as we watch the shadows dance on an eerie moonlit night
No longer ignorant, but innocent, no longer wrong nor right
Our lives had seemed so hollow, here their only an illusion
The wind is calling out my name. End of poem, my last conclusion

Homosexual Adoption
Its not really a poem...but a issue i wanted to write and talk about so...ya'll let me know what you think. Grammer and other spellings might be a little off....
Imagine if you can, yourself sitting there waiting in a foster home waiting for someone to adopt you… You’ve hoped and dreamed of getting out of that place all your life. The one chance you get, he or she turns out to be homosexual, and so your dreams are shattered of having the life you’ve always wanted.
Who says that homosexuals can’t raise children to be the best they can be. Most people have the same in the home, specially in the State of Texas, in that I mean, there is either a father raising their kid(s) by himself, and a mother raising her kid(s) by herself. Many studies have proven that,studies done do to demonstrate that children raised in a homosexual home are no more likely to be homosexual than a child raised in a heterosexual home. “ –by Andy
A child turning homosexual has no barring on if their parent is or is not in the same sex process/relationship, it has to do with the emotional development of each child, in and outside of the home. Comments from kids, who are bisexual, lesbians, and gay all said the same thing “It had nothing to do with my parents, matter fact they are straight, and would probably flip if they knew I was a “homosexual” a friend of mines told me about her conditions of being adopted, and how her mother turned out to be a bisexual. "My mom's my best friend, and her girlfriend and I go shopping as if she’s my age....its so much fun to hang around them. I get the knowledge of being around homosexuals, besides how they act in a group of straight friends, and around people who are gay and lesbians, and even bi.” Many people don’t find a problem with it. Rosie O’Donnell has children who are adopted but it was before she announced herself as being a Lesbian, and once she did she had many problems with try to adopt more children after that. She has the capital and the will and the determination to raise such amount of children, why keep a child away from her? The better off the parent and his or her personality the parent(s)/guardian(s) has of getting that child. Trying to stop one person while granting the right to another person is unfair and unconstitutional. Each person has the right to, Life Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness, and if that means adopting a child then so be it, whether or not they be homosexual, or heterosexual. They still have the right to have a child. You wouldn’t say this person holds these amendments, while these few or so hold these. Its immoral, and again unconstitutional

Findings by Jerome Frank, a Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins and Pioneer in Research on the Effects of Psychotherapy
- Frank’s research convinced him that the specific theoretical framework of a given therapy has little to do with its effectiveness.
- The most important factor is the therapist’s ability to induce the placebo effect, by convincing patients that they will improve.
- Many patients respond to therapists and therapies with scientific status, Frank noted, but others might prefer a faith healer, witchdoctor or shaman to a Harvard-trained psychiatrist.
- Frank spelled out this perspective in his influential 1961 book Persuasion" target="_blank" class="inline-link">https://findings.org.uk/do... and Healing: A Comparative Study of Psychotherapy.
