Help America Work

Rise up America!  This is your Country; let your voice be heard.  Do you feel that the United States government is not representing what you and your community needs?  Write to your Representative and Senators.  Get involved in grassroots activities.  Find a cause close to your heart and fight for it with all of your might.  Get out and be involved with your community.  Don’t let work and obligations get in your way of what you think is right.  Go to rallies, questions your elected officials.  They are responsible for representing you.  If you feel that your elected officials aren’t representing you, make a change.  Vote them out of office.  Find a candidate that holds similar values in a community as you do.  Change will come.  Share your feelings with neighbors.  Get your community members involved.  Participate in the process that makes America great.

"Original Aidan" Poems

Untitled
You see me smile,
you think everything is fine.
You don't know
what goes on in my mind.
I do a good job pretending
who you want me to be.
But, one reason I am lost
is that it's not whom I am meant to be.

 Late
Snooze Alarm
'nother five minutes.
Getting ready,
running around.
Leave a minute late
stuck behind bus
2 minutes
oh no, another light
4 minutes
Traffic all around
30 minutes late
to work
today.

Dreaming of Change
Dreaming of Change
easy to do
Creating change
harder to do.
Stirring change
gets you where you want

Johnny got home from camp
He enjoyed it a lot
"Mommy, look what I made"
A few years later
Johnny has a family now too
He can not afford
what his mommy once could
