WOE;THE DAWN OF A NEW NATION
BY Ronald Gores

TO GOD ONLY.
The attitude of hypocrites is it alive today? Who do we wish to hear our
prayers when we pray? If we pray for men to hear the words that we say, our only reward will be
is that men have heard us pray. I pray that we repent from this in our churches today, for the
ears of God are the only ones that need to hear us pray.
FREE TO KNOW.
Knowledge, when unhindered, flows freely. The reins of hindrance lead to
ignorance. Unlatch hindrance for freedom's swift reins, and by the hand of liberty knowledge
spreads in abundance.
AMERICAN PRIDE.
American, American How great it feels to be
American, American We’ll fight till victory
SILENCE IN THE CROWD.
The room fills with conversation, the multitude mingles, Voices from
every angle echo in my ears, as though they were walls closing in, the voices blend until they
become one voice garbled and confusing; so I block out the noise and confusion from my mind, it
is then I can find that precious Silence In The Crowd.
FOOLING MYSELF.
It looks so easy to get a grip on, but that is an illusion to hide its potent,
invisible power. its wintry camouflage with a yellowish tint. How can it ruin me? Look at it, its
nothing. Control me, how can it control me? So all of my wondering led me to taste it, that bitter flavor craved by many, and I wondered why. I pulverized the crystalline shape and breathed its particles; It tingles and I feel it, it feels good I get numb ;I feel the surge, the sensation, its a rush, like standing up too fast, but then as soon as I love it, its gone. Self-respect takes a back seat to a rock. Is this the one that hooked me? was I wrong? I did another just to see, only to find that that to was part of its seductive trap; the answer was Yes! I'm such a fooling eve and gullible.
THE END.
They flee into the mountains, but their refuge is spoiled. The blast and falling rock
seal their fate in their own place; the caves in which they thought secure, crumbles down.
Munitions stored in hopes of a future use are useless, and out of the chaos two coalitions form
the final war.
FOR ALL TO SEE.
My country has to be the police over seas For all to see. Your planes dash
thru the sky fighting fast low and high to bring peace by and by For all to see. they fight to keep us free many died for liberty For all to see. So remember them that died pray for those which survived and for peace to be revived For all to see. Soon the whole world will be a place where all are free For all to see. I know that wars shall end and peace it will ascend when our Lord shall descend For all to see. He shall dry all our tears and remove all our fears break the bow and spear For all to see.
A LIFE TIME.we're here and then we're gone
we don't stay here too long
we're here and then we're gone
seventy years isn't that long
Because
Seventy years to eternity
is just a drop of water to the sea
be sure you be all you can be
Because
we're here and then we're gone
we don't stay here too long
we're here and then we're gone
seventy years isn't that long.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
We will never forget,neither shall we give in,
For it was a malicious crime and an ungodly sin;
those terrorist attacks which killed our countrymen.
We will never forget our towers that stood high in the sky.
We will never forget the thousands in the towers that died.
We will never forget the men in their attempts to try,
Those valiant men of flight ninety three in their efforts died.
We will never forget their voices so grim and full of gloom.
We will never forget the terrorist that brought them to their doom.
We will never forget our nation shattered in disbelief.
We will never forget those who gave comfort and relief.
We will never forget the place we now call Ground-zero.
We will never forget the rescuers for they are our heroes.
From the people saving people amongst the chaos and turmoil,
to the one who planned the attacks for a prey,and a spoil-We will never forget!
STAGNATED MIND.
Where is our minds today ?,they're're no different
than the minds of ancient men,even they had hate and war.The same as today
with no dramatic change notable,given the time which has elapsed
from the beginning til now,between knowledge known and knowledge
used;our technology,which many take pride in decays,such as the
viruses which infiltrates our systems;rotting from the inside like the flesh of a dead animal.
When will we change?,when man and machine at war become mangled
by battle into a graveyard of flesh and steel?
Or will we use our knowledge to its fullest? Stretching to the limit the
elastic realm of reality.Hindrances that is what you are,Like an infectious
cancer with its malignant cells inflaming our society with ignorance.
That Awful Day.
A man from the middle east
shall be the one to break the peace.
with one religion against the other
he will make you war against your brother.
he will shake the Earth's very foundations,
and spread his war across the nations.
He is with the eighth who is part of the Seven
the one who lost the war in Heaven
and he will rage his war upon the earth.
God pity those who have to give birth
to a child in such harsh conditions
until God rids the earth of the son of perdition
Thru Christ who rules with an iron rod
and under his foot Satan will be trod.
After death, and resurrection the judgment is at hand
Before the almighty God we all must stand.
Desire.
To touch her body
to feel her warmth
to know her thoughts
to crave her love
To show my interest is what I must do
to gain her trust
to show I care
to give her loyalty
to give her me
All of this is what I must do
to be always confident
to be always secure
to be able to talk
to be able to listen
To be myself is what I must do
Control.I get angry and I say things that I don't mean,
And often times the words I say are obscene.
most times I hold my composure with out a scene
by holding my tongue and keeping my mouth clean.
Oh! the tongue,as small as it may be
has started many good and bad things thru-out out history.
Its like a ship,a mighty sailing ship with its little rudder
it changes your course with every word you utter,
but on them mighty sailing ships you'll find there is a captain
who turns the wheel that moves the rudder and keeps his course
maintained
And like the ship and its captain the tongue has the brain
higher than it is the Lord,and God is at the top of the chain.
The Still Small Voice.
In the silence of my mind there is a calm and
lingering presence, unnoticed for the most part
lost or muffled by our noisy unsettled lives
And only when we are quiet and settled can we hear
The still small voice
IT HAPPENS TO US ALL.
Many times I've thought What if ?,
or I wonder how it would be if ?,I wish. All these
things swirling in my brain my head is like the seas,many oceans
in one some calm and quiet others wild and raging thoughts of this,and
thoughts of thatlike theanalogy both calm and raging.
BEWILDERED.
Wars and rumors of war the threshold nearing to cross
time and space equals money are problems to-wards this
end, And when I see the moon I wonder why on earth are we here?
CLICK IT.
My fingers glide across the universe of knowledge
A click,and a spark, I find what I am searching for
The light,It enters my eyes ,with its shape words are formed
THE RIGHT WORD.
I search rampantly,I cannot find it,I
know its here and yet I know not where,so close but still
so far away, I stretch farther and farther looking
where I have not looked before,hoping to find
exactlywhat I am looking for.
THE ENEMY.
As I face my enemy head to head I can only
wonder if he sees things as I do,only to realize
that he does,The enemy.
THORNS.
The north hides the Arabian knight;that chief
prince and his bands shall gather together,Gog
and Magog to battle against you O Israel.
Like snakes seeking a prey,they slither about you.
They strike with their deadly poisonous venom.
They build their pits amongst your children,
hiding and waiting like the stalking serpents they
are, For they follow the path of that old serpent
the fallen one ,the father of hate,greed,and deceit.
UNWORTHY.
I am not worthy of love I am nothing but a vile and ugly man.
but, it was me who brought that unworthiness upon myself thru the
actions of my hands.
and yet in my just sorrow for my sin, the Lord God almighty
gracefully forgives.
for my just punishment will be on the earth, and at God's will;I
deserve what he gives.
but I pray dear Lord, though I be unworthy and vile that you will
have mercy on me.
change me dear Lord,my mind,my body,my actions and recreate me Lord
the way you want me to be.
Oh! God I fear my loneliness will consume me and I have no son to
carry on my name.
I pray dear Lord that my fears will diminish
for they themselves are partly to blame.
But fear is not the blame for all of my life's loses,for I am a
vile and ugly man.
and the greatest shame of my life was brought thru the actions of
my hands.
I beg for your forgiveness dear God and plead for your blessings on
my mind,body,and soul
and render unto me,if it be your will,the virtue I need and that is
self control.
JUST A THOUGHT.
My thoughts run a hundred miles an hour expanding and blooming like
a flower.
because I learn, and I learn because knowledge is power.
power under control is the power that I seek
the power that rules the earth and it is meek
lets not confuse ourselves its certainly not weak
Jesus said that they shall inherit the earth
God thought of this before the foundation of the earth
even then our souls in mind he created our re-birth
in that our souls,from the beginning, with blood were bought
for this reason a war in heaven was fought and Satan has sought to
destroy
that thought.
LONELY MAN.another Paige in my life has turned
and another bridge has been burned
ever since you left me I have learned
when you play with fire you'll get burned
my heart is chaffed with loves fiery flame
but I have no one but me to blame
it was I who exposed my heart to that flame
I don't condemn all women for the acts of one dame
so I search and search but to what ad ue??
Oh! what I wonder can a lonely man do?
my loneliness burns me thru and thru
Oh! where is there a love that is true?
TRANSITION.Just before the final war
up in the skies we shall soar
in a craft which was made
to prep us all for the space age
but all must fly from place to place
before we venture into outer space
this is a step that needs to be
then we all can sail the ethereal sea
If you read your bible you'll know
that this is the way we need to go
in Genesis is where it is at
if you decipher the earthly fact
word to the wise,here is a clue
read earth written in Hebrew.
MEMORIALIZE FREEDOM.
Because we have pride in our buildings being so high
lets rebuild our tall and mighty towers back up in the sky
Or, maybe we should build only one and put it in the clouds
to prove that we're a mighty nation, strong,just,and proud.
Because the world looks upon the United States like a beacon in the
night.
I know deep down in my heart that we can do that which is right.
lets not forget them who fought and died that we could live free.
I say we rebuild tall to memorialize freedom for the world to see.
OUR SPIRIT SURVIVED.
My country is to me the land of the brave,and free
where freedom reins
No gates or wall are there
A place where the people care
though evil brought despair
Still freedom reins.
My nation shall rise back
from those evil attacks
and rebuild our great towers back
show our resolve is that
Freedom shall rein.
so lets unite one and all
rebuild strong and tall
because divided we'll surely fall
and end freedoms rein.
Oh! say can we be like the rescuers in the night
those who had to behold the site.
and those that did stay on such a tragic day
should prove to the world we shall survive that awful day
it says our great spirit still raves
in the land of liberty and the home of the brave.
A PATRIOT'S PRAYER.
oh God please hear the prayers of America,be with her
and comfort her in her hour of need.
Strengthen her people oh Lord,and her leaders dear God
be with them that their faith may not recede.
For the time of war is at hand;we Americans
have been attacked, and lost many lives.
The only way that America will win this war
is when America's spirit is revived.
I see that it has started,when terrorist struck
our land,I saw our once dead faith come alive.
So I pray dear God that you will strengthen our faith,
and give us the courage,and endurance for the battle at hand
because terrorist are scattered across our world and we shall
be fighting in the air,at sea,and on land.
Be with us dear Lord as we use our forces to advance
on all fronts,in the air,on the ground,and at sea.
I pray dear God that you will be with us and the alliance
to assure us of our destined victory.AMEN!!
_THE DAILY NEWS.__
fires break out in the American south west.
A man found dead from a gunshot to the chest.
Thousands of students fail their achievement test.
Stock market falls there is panic on wall street.
Temperatures hit record high,five dead from the heat.
Lady finds a rape victim that was severely beat.
Another war breaks out in the middle east.
_OUR NATION'S LIFE.__
_our nation's life is suspended
with the fall of our mighty towers
our nation's life is suspended
by the acts of an evil power
our nation's life is suspended
all of our lives are torn apart
our nation's life is suspended
there is agony in our hearts
THE ROAD TO HAMMONGOG.I see the holy land alone in the world with gog,
and Magog raging;land for peace,peace for land each
saying to the other "give unto me first then I to you,
or else;Palestine wanting a Palestine,Israel wanting to
keep Israel and the terror grows swelling their hordes
and bands;still lurking in the north lyes the head of
the serpent waiting silently,hidden,coiled ready to strike.
THE CYCLE.
The stars and planets spin,and revolve around
the sun like pendulums in a clock,as though they
were counting down the depth's of time its self.
CALAMITY AND UNITY.Let us not be afraid America let us not be afraid at all
to rebuild our nation's skyline proud,strong,and tall;
holding on to our memories of yesteryear while building a better tomorrow
even though our nation at this time is full of hate,and sorrow.
THE HEAT OF BATTLE.
fires flash in the midst of the sky,
its bright yellow,and red colors striking
like lightening and then its roaring rumble
shakes the ground and I tremble.
FEAST FOR THE BEASTS.
Carried by wings of angels on high
flying on to victory
the arms of men that soar in the sky
crossing the mighty sea
Your paths are set high and straight
in the prophecies I see
Your enemies you shall annihilate
and multitudes shall flee
they shall gather with their affiliates
north of the dead sea
and there will be many,a great and mighty band
but here is their misery
as they unite to fight against the holy land
It is there the world shall see
the power of the great almighty God
in his wrath exceedingly
and upon the holy lands mountain sod
God will slay his enemies that is the fate of that ancient empire
written for all to see
they shall be eaten by beasts and burned with fire
lost for eternity.
HE SAW NINE ELVEN.Gog and Magog are stories of old
in Ezekiel is where the story is told
of all the events in modern date
even the attack on the United States.
One mans evil thought brought suffering and pain
he preyed on the innocent,and took life for a gain.
The prophets prophesied that terrorist's evil thought
but his own demise is what he has utterly begot.
On the mountains of Israel his armies will be slain
for perverting the name of God thru ill-gotten gain.
he has brought terror to our soil,I fear they are in our land
they drove a car three thousand miles, with plans in hand ?
God only knows the evils they have placed in such a vast span,
But the sleeping giant is now awake and standing on his feet;
Still Gog and Magog shall cloud Israel with their mighty fleet,
and in the mountains of Israel God will deliver us their defeat.
ALL TO WAR.A time of mourning has come to our land
for the death of many comes thru a terrorist's hand,
and a awift retribution is what America demands.
If war is the resolve than war it must be
for we must preserve that which is ours in the land of the free,
and protect our country's cities from to shinning sea.
So lets take the fight to our enemy where ever they may be.
For the right must unite against that which is wrong
because divided we are weak,but united we are strong,
and thru the grace of almighty God we shall carry on.
Even though our towers are torn and mangled the pillar still stand,
and upon those pillars we must rebuild our mighty towers again
because with God we stand on solid,not on sinking sand.
I pray for the day in which all hatred will finally cease
on that day our love and concern as a whole shall increase,
but now we must fight so we can insure the future peace.
In wake of our tragedy our spirit though wounded must endure
so we can rise to the tasks ahead with confidence asured.
MY PLACE.I sat down one day and read
a book unlike I've ever read
and as I read a voice I heard
that spoke to me these sweet words
"For I so loved" he said to me
" I gave my son for you to be
an advocate between you and me"
and then I fell upon my face
" Oh praise the Lord for his saving grace
I thank you Lord for taking my place
and forgiving me for my disgrace.
TO AND FRO.
I stare at the lunar glow
the changing tide begins to flow
like it did so many years ago
when men sailed the seas to and fro
ancient vessels which crossed the sea
their maps dotted in the etheral sea
which sailors on their journeys
perfecting their knowledge of sky and sea.
AN IDEA.It came to me one day
and in an instant went away
it came again and I caught it
with pen and paper I wrote it
An Idea.

Posted on Saturday 07 of May, 2005 [23:29:15 UTC]

So far everywhere I turn there is a fee to pay.A person would think that in America,a nation known as;"The land of Liberty,and "The land of the Free",that a person would have a decent chance to pursue their dreams and goals in life.well,we have chances alright, if you have the money!.so if you are a person in a low-income-bracket options to pursue some dreams and goals are non-existant--"if you don't have the money forget it!"I understand why.many people believe that this nation was found because of freedom;in a sense it was,but not really.This land was founded upon commerce,or Money and the very essence of these two are unsynonimous to the word Free.The trade route between India and Europe was taxed,among other things,by countries in-which it crossed.This prompted many merchants to explore other routes such as the Sea.They never thought that a large land mass would be in their way;North America was that land mass." Its all about the Benjamins".Even when the Colonies declared their independence it was because of Money,or Taxation with-out representation.when the Civil war broke-out it was mainly due to trade.this trade was writen down in American History as one of our most tradgic periods in time--"The Slave Trade".There are other facts including both of the world wars where money is a key issue. freedom-of-the-seas or other trade\commerce routes were addressed.The addressing of these issues lead to the wars.It is easy to see why the love of money is concidered to be "The root of all Evil".
I remember reading Science in school.we read about Edison,Goddard,Bell,and the Wright Brothers;the teachers would say things like "Maybe one day one of you boys and girls will invent something",usually this was followed by "all you have to do is work hard in school and believe in yourself".Now 30 years later I finally realize that it was all a lie.why?..,simple, they left out a very important details such as;how to make a lot of money,the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars it takes to patent an invention.believe me you are going to need it!.I sent an Idea to a submission firm "Invention Submission Corporation" they charge $900.00 to do a search.their commerical do not mention this they merely say "have an Idea ?" "we can submit it to Industry".you've seen the ad,I see it all the time on television.the U.S. government isn't much better.I contacted the U.S.P.T.O.(u.s. patent&trademark office)they charge $500.00 to do a patent search;a search is to determine whether or not you craeted the idea first.The funny thing ,and I'm not laughing,is that I SEARCHED the u.s.p.t.o. records online and my idea for invention is not on record yet.its all about the benjamins,and they want five of them(5 one hundred dollar bills),thats a house payment.
My gripe is this society is too greedy;from birth to death we are charged,taxed for everything that we do.All of our hopes,dreams,goals and everything entangled in what we call "Life"has a price tag on it!
We are a monitary oriented society and because of this there is nothing in our lives that is not in some way affected by Money!--Nothing,and I mean Nada,Zelch,Zero!. Sad!!

(1)The way to publish in the techno-era is online; blogging makes it easy to publish and promote everything from books to inventions and many other subjects of interest to us all.This is the main core-point of "Ronnie Writings".in this blog I will discuss many issues including how to sell on your blog.sales and promotions are important elements in the success of any business endeavor and the notion that the internet can be used by would-be entrepreneurs as a means of affordable advertising is,to say the least,appealing.every business endeavor depends upon one factor "publicity".unless your business is based upon anonymity;publicity is a crucial element in its success.In this blog people will be able to promote their ideas and goals along with myself.My intent is to support the notion that the internet can in fact be used, by anyone with access to the web,as affordable means of advertising.In the ever changing world of business innovation is the key to survival;the most innovated idea of the millenium is the internet.E-business is a booming industry,but sadly to say it is a costly one as well,but there are ways,and I've found a few,to use the net to promote such products as books,and inventions and more.these methods are at times tedious and time consuming but in the end they yeild,if applied properly,a desirable affect.Take for example"forums";forums along with other web services such as chat rooms and IM'S (instant message)if properly used can produce a profitable result.I am in no way implying the use of web services forums,chat-rooms,or instant messaging by servers who prohibit such pratices;most of the time this simply means to keep post,chating etc.. in context to the theme of the room or site.an example of this would be 'don't post politics on a non-political board'.if you are selling a book of American,Christian poetry you wouldn't want to go to an Arab,Muslim web site to promote your book;not only would this be Insulting it would also be unprofitable as well.This blogg is is one step in a series of steps toward creating a web site which is designed to "Promote the Progress" of the under privledged as well as the privledged.in other words no matter what Tax-Bracket you are in this site will work for you.how this site works is based upon "unity";using e-mails,forums,message boards,chat-rooms,blog sites,and instant messaging to form a network that is designed for free advertising; except for isp fees of coarse.the easiest way to produce an effective result would be to form a club,or organization comprised of people with the same, or simular goal.each member uses his/hers every day internet activities such as blogging,chatting,and postings combined with techniques which we share and disscuss on our site.The keyword is "our" not mine,not yours. So post your url's along with mine and togather we can help each other promote our products,services and ideas; helping to make the internet a place for free enterprise.The site I wish to promote for profit is www.LuLu.com/ronaldgores this url takes you to my first published book;its a book of poetry.So send me your url's I will ad them to a list and I will post them in my every day activities on the web,and you can do the same for me as well.url's will be gathered from comments posted and added to a list which will be posted on this site for everyone to see.http://www.lulu.com/RonaldGores

(2)I e-mailed the American Medical Association asking them about the relation between caffeine and heart problems,diabetes,nervous disorders.From my recent research on the subject I have found numerous reports which support the notion that caffeine does in fact conribute to health problems,but the AMA had this to say:
"The AMA is really not set up to provide medical information to
patients. I suggest contacting your local public library's
nutrition/health section or ask a librarian for help in locating
information. I've included a link (above) to basic information on
caffiene from Intellihealth.com."I'm not a patient I don't know where that came from
here is the e-mail that I sent" I would like to inquire some facts concerning the effects of caffeine
and certain health issues.Is it true that caffeine can increase the risk
of heart problems?,does caffeine cause nerve disorders by increasing
stress levels?,how does it effect the digestive system?and last but not
least what is the link,if any,between caffeine and diabetes?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely:Ronald James Gores

I visited the site that they gave it had the same information which I had already found on other web-sites.Many of the reports,however concroversial,state that consumption of caffeine in large amounts is not only unhealthy,but is also addictive;withdraw symptoms include migraines,insomnia and nervous dis-orders.But the addictive is far less pressing of an issue compared to heart and coronary problems caused by the effects of caffeine;caffeine constricts veins leading into your brain,the brain sends a signal to the body that it is under dis-stress.this causes the adrenal glands to produce adrenline,but thats not the end of it.

...page1...I am concerned with an issue which affects millions of people in the United States and around the world.The issue is the lack of proper labeling of products which contain harmful substance on the open market for human consumption.In the U.S. the FDA is responsible for the inspection and approval of products to protect the public from harm.However, they have 'slipped' from that responsibility.there is evidence to support this claim such as the case with 'Viox,bextra and celebrex',but drugs isn't the only area in-which the FDA failed to warn the public.there are several products on the open market in-which the FDA has failed,and failed miserably.such is the case with caffeine,and sugar both of which contribute to many illnesses and among them are diabetes,strokes,nerve disorders and heart disease,not to mention addiction.So with serious illnesses and effects such as these one can not help but wonder why products containing these substances are not labeled as possible health risks? . The biggest obsticle could very well be money. Concidering that,more than 60% of the worlds caffeine is derived from "coffee". Coffee is the second largest traded comodity in the world next to "oil".The caffeine produced from the decaffenating process is used many pharmaceutical, and beverages companies in such things as "head-ache medicines" and "soft drinks".Sugar is also one of the worlds largest traded comodity which can be found in many products such as candies,soft drinks,cakes and pies to name a few.Many studies have shown a direct link between sugar(carbohydrates) and type two diabetes.The up-surge of this illness in childern is shocking!;many experts attribute this up-surge to the consumption of sugar or carbohydrates in large quantities.The reason for this is simply due to the bombardment of advertisements designed to appeal to younger people;candy ads,soft drink ads,and sports drink ads that imply " you're cool" or "its fun" to eat and drink our products.
