An Ode to my favorite President.

How your lips can murmur sweet nothings

Upon my ear

I can only hear the hope instilled

Upon me.

God, I love America.


Your insensitive word crimes

Only proves your dialect

And commitment

To this land of the free

And the economy


Your touch upon the children of America

Your impact is not unlike

The Red Scare, MK Ultra,

Japanese Internment camps,

Or even the War on Drugs

And other great accomplishments

Of this great nation


The gracious curse you bestow

Towards the children

In another country

I sure am glad

To be born freely

For I have no other choice


The justice you endow us with:

Words of love, except hatred

You will bring change

I have the patience

For this eventuality


My pity

Towards your elegant ways

Your sweet-talking phrases

Can make me forget

All of the promises you've made


The inhumane torture,

Can be a chore

So I will only focus on

Your conjecture

And policies that make me feel warm in my home


The sick people in the street

Wish they can see

The President in the light that I do.

Unpatriotic freaks

Would never storm the Capitol


You, you are the lesser of the two evils

So I will ignore all of the allegations against you

And I will dedicate my life

Towards your empowerment

For I am American


You may be the antichrist,

But I'm a good person

My vote counts towards you

And your satanic tendencies

For you are the lesser evil

But not the better good.


If history must repeat itself

Let it repeat

With you starring as Romulus

I have no care

For you will handle it graciously


Oh! Nation of love

And not of fear

My confidence is whole

As He keeps the water clean in the suburbs,

He drains the swamp for the alligators.


The equality in every state,

The cocaine shipped into every ghetto

The bare feet on the White House lawn

The bared teeth of the soldiers who fight

For the gasless stations


The warheads in your possession

Defines our intention

Of our boundless power

Of Nagasaki,

Of Hiroshima:

The desire for the world to fall like a tower.

For revenge is the key to equality and freedom.


The suppression of voices

The cries of Natives,

The tears of millions

Are swept under the White House grass

In order to insure

A more perfect Union.


You are the salvation for humanity

So, bomb the middle east

Lock those parentless kids in cages

Say those slurs

And torture those foreigners

Because I have faith in you,

And so do my neighbors.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
