autumn
The year’s favorite child here comes soon
He is an eternal golden high noon
He comes as an artist, weighed down with paint
Red, orange, and silver, no color too faint
He brings with him brushes of every size,
Small, big, and the biggest is to paint the sky
A golden hue like mother earth’s favorite lullaby
Here comes Autumn with his painters bag
Here comes Autumn, his brown eyes so sad
Short is his stay, but he does not mind,
His best work, his favorite, he will leave behind
For us to enjoy until his reckless sister
Comes screaming along, she is the Winter
thoughts from the littlest child of the moon
(aka a poem I wrote at two in the morning)
Have you ever received
A silver invitation?
Have you ever seen
A king’s coronation?
Have you ever been told
That your hearts stone?
Have you ever glowed
With lights stolen?
little doves, great big tree
Little doves under the tree
Little doves what shall I be?
Great big tree that shelters them,
Is my future very grim?
Do you see a rich young man
Do I get lots of land?
Don’t look too far in my past
That there lurks a bad romance
Little doves, great big tree,
Tell me now what shall I be?
rain
Listen to the rain,
Music to the ears
The sky pours out
Her tender tears
That all us mortals
Woe begotten
And full of grief
Are not forgotten
By the passing time
For always it hears
The sobbing tears
Of the wailing sky.
the lie and the truth
Death is like a wide, open sky
All friendly and inviting,
Such a well hidden lie.
Should Tobacco Sales Be Banned in the United States?
The numbers like this 0 tell you which source in the bibliography the part comes from.
Smoking tobacco is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States(US)3; for example, smoking is linked to approximately 80 percent of deaths caused by lung cancer.4 Despite both statistics pointing towards the dangers of smoking, tobacco has remained popular across the US since the beginning of the nation. Due to the popularity and demand for tobacco, the US government has continued to allow the use of the plant to remain legal.9 However, considering the Constitution and amendments, which are the basis for all laws in the US, does the government have the right to keep tobacco legal? Although tobacco, which contains the highly addictive drug nicotine, is popular in America today, tobacco not only costs the healthcare system more money than its taxes bring in but also directly defies citizens’ constitutional right to life and liberty.
Understanding how tobacco sales defy the Constitution requires understanding five points. First, one must understand what tobacco is and what smoking it does. Second, one must understand the history of tobacco, for the past affects the modern use. Third, one must address the main arguments for the legality of tobacco: how the tax money from tobacco helps the healthcare system and how the people must have the liberty to choose whether or not to smoke. Fourth, one must counter the arguments by explaining how tobacco defies the people’s rights. Finally, one must show how the knowledge that tobacco sales are unconstitutional can be put to good use.

I wish I could take back our very first meeting
Wash the memories from the walls and try again
For in my mind I cannot help keep repeating
That I did not make the best impression then.
If I could redo things, I would ask you questions
And you’d do the talking ’cause I have nothing to tell
I wouldn’t tell you how I feel, or how I go through hell
