Young Lady
You found out today
That you are no longer a girl
Now young lady you need to know
That whole nations fear you
You make young men lose control
Old men want to control
What comes out of you
Old women envy your fertility
They all want to possess your vagina
Through your minds eyes
From Young Lady and Other poems by Timothy Conerson

Everything changed after the meeting of 2012. The European Union, Arab League, Caribbean Coalition, African Union, and Latin Alliance all sent low level representatives to China with messages from their leaders. By the next year China was sending thousands of troops to the United States. At first it was thought that China wanted to help the U.S. to secure its borders. It did not take long before incidents of “friendly fire” began to happen with great frequency. By the time U.S. leaders realized the true intentions of the Chinese, the U.S. was completely surrounded and infiltrated by China’s military. -Excerpt from tales from tim

Many members of our society belong to parents that were never married. Some are in the unfortunate situation where they see bitterness between their parents. So many of us carry the idea that we are responsible for our parent leaving. On the surface it makes sense that we would believe that we are to blame. Our parents were together, intimate with each other, then we came and problems began to occur. The fact of the matter is that 100% of the blame for our bastardization resides with our parents. -Excerpt from WalkingToward Enlightenment

Be Aware of the Rulers Every community has a ruler caste. The rulers are those that have attained more intellectual, psychological, and/or economical resources than the overwhelming majority of the other members of a community. The United States has rulers and we must understand them if we are to function in any productive way in this society. The rulers have different ideas of how best to rule in the U. S. There are at least 3 schools of thought in the ruling class. One school of thought is that the masses are all child like and must be directed in every aspect of their lives. These rulers believe that they know what is best for the community and all decisions should be left to them. Another group of rulers believes that they ultimately know what is best for the community, but the masses of the community should have some say in how they are to be ruled. A third group of rulers believes that the masses of the community only exist to serve the needs and wants of the rulers. These rulers do not particularly care what anyone else thinks or what is best for anyone other than themselves. - Excerpt from The True School
