Herman Cain: A Candle in the Wind

Herman Cain just brought his campaign to an end and at his announcement of it, he quoted the Pokemon: The Movie 2000 song "The Power of One". Why are people grilling poor Herman Cain over this. How many people have quoted Dr. Seuss or Charlie Brown? Pokemon has taught my generation a lot of things, like how to catch 'em all, or that cats can actually train themselves to talk. So, in tribute to a man who is one in a million, I give this rendition of my version of the song "Candle in the Wind", by Sir Elton John:

Goodbye Herman Cain,
Though I never knew you at all,
You were the only other reasonable candidate
next to Ron Paul.
You created the 999 plan.
And you were at your height.
Then they spread rumors of sexual harassment.
And your affair with Ginger White.

And it seems to me that your campaign
Was a candle in the wind.
Now you have to bring it to a halt
Because of all those women.
And I would have liked to vote for you
 But I'm not a Republican.
Your candle burned out long before,
Your campaign came to an end.

RIP Herman Cain's Campaign: 2011-2011

Peace is Here: If You Want It

After listening to John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over) and after hearing the lyrics, "War is over if you want it", I cannot help but agree with those lyrics. War truly is over if you want it, because war is not just the War in Afghanistan or the protests in Syria, were people are being murdered by their own government, it is the very anger and prejudice towards others in our hearts. So let us get ride of the anger and prejudice in ourselves so that we can end WAR.

This Christmas I do not care what I get or what I am getting others. All that I care about this Christmas is what the day was created for, and that is to remember why Jesus came into this world. He did not come to make us all feel good about ourselves. On the contrary, he came to open the eyes of those whom have a lot to look towards those whom have nothing.

Let us remember this Christmas that there are people who will go hungry, be raped, suffer from some illness, be alone, die from disease, famine, or violence, and most importantly go without the love of anyone.

War is Over: If You want it, and PEACE IS HERE: IF YOU WANT IT.Amen
